Trump won in spite of being a convicted felon, fraud, and adjudicated rapist who nearly destroyed the country with his mishandling of the pandemic during his last presidency. The problem wasn't Harris's campaign.

It's nice to think that voters will bypass a shitty campaign to find the relevant information themselves, but it's hardly realistic.

That is literally the basis of democracy.

To average people, it makes no difference to them that inflation is back to normal when the price impacts don't go away.

The price impacts were never going to go away! It infuriates me that people were dumb enough to believe this! It's not how economics works and it's not something the government can control!!!

Harris lost because people would rather believe Trump's comfortable lies than the uncomfortable truth. No decent, thinking person should ever vote for Trump. It's absolutely astounding that you're not getting this.

Medicaid enrollment was cut.

By Congress, not Biden, though the Consolidated Appropriations Act as a demand by Republicans.

The monthly paid out child tax cut extension was ended.

Again Republicans voted against the reauthorization because they didn't want to hand Democrats a "win".

Mandated Paid Sick Leave ended.

This was only ever intended to be temporary as it only applies when there was federal or state quarantine in effect. Democrats in the House introduced the Healthy Families Act which would guarantee all workers 7 sick days a year. The act was filibustered by Republicans in the Senate.

Democrats are not the problem here.

Absolutely right, but there is still a limit on speech. Every right must be balanced against other rights

People act like Democrats were just ignoring what people wanted, while Republican politicians and judges were blocking them every step of the way. Just look at how many ways Biden's school debt relief plans were defeated.

I like to remind *free speech absolutists" that child porn is technically a type of speech.

They always think their expertise in one area makes them an expert at everything, when in reality they are below average.

It will be interesting to see them justify why ISPs are responsible for user's piracy, but gun companies aren't responsible for users' murders.

The nice thing about reality is that it's the same whether or not you believe it.

Biden’s labor report card: Historian gives ‘Union Joe’ a higher grade than any president since FDR

If you want to insult someone, don't say things you find offensive. Say things they find offensive.

Biden did more to help the working class than any president in my lifetime. People are too stupid or don't pay enough attention to realize it.

Public opinion has been molded by decades of marketing from food companies. It's much harder to undo beliefs once they are set.

A truth in marketing law would likely fail free speech tests. Sin taxes on food can work, but they REALLY piss people off. A lot of politicians have lost their careers to sugar taxes.

How would you address the problem without rewriting the constitution? You can't force people to eat healthier or force companies to sell healthier food.

I have to feel that "a woman needs to feel like a woman" wouldn't get a similar reaction.

That's kind of where I am with this too. All you can do is try to protect yourself and your family from what is coming.

You didn't read the article. The US upheld their part of the deal, China did not. They conned Trump.

You don't read international news sources, do you?
