    You’re the moron. Harris is the moron.

    She looked at four years of the cost of living pricing people out of homes and grocery stores and her response to it was: "I wouldn’t have done anything different’, and even worse, she had the balls and outright stupidity to say that in public.

      But if she said she would have done things differently, it would have been played as disloyalty and the media would have a field day accusing her of hating her former boss and admitting to doing a terrible job. It was a lose-lose question.

      I mean… we were doing much better than everyone else. Changing nothing is preferred to whatever the fuck this is!

      Hey buddy, you don’t like the word Fuck, but you’ll call everyone else a moron? Maybe look in the mirror and stop being a dense fucking idiot.

        As the saying goes:

        If you find yourself constantly surrounded by assholes…you might be the asshole.

      So vote for the guy who doesn’t even know what the word ‘grocery’ means. That makes sense.

        Look, I know you don’t want to hear it, but Trump delivered a direct and simple message for how he was going to lower your cost of living. He delivered it in a way that even someone with an 8th grade education can understand. It’s why he won and Harris lost.

        Trump’s message to white voters was simple: “I will make your life better. I will deport millions of brown people. That will lower housing costs and raise wages.”

        Now, economists can point out fatal flaws with this message, but that’s irrelevant. What matters in politics is he made a compelling case to voters why voting for him would improve their lives. It was an evil method meant to appeal to racists, but it was at least a method. Harris had nothing comparable.

      Inherited a nearly crashed economy partly due to the absolute inept bungling of a pandemic by the previous orange turd, and they had to spend 4 years getting the country and economy running while simultaneously trying to rebuild the US’s reputation on the world stage while the reds did absolutely everything they could to prevent Biden from passing meaningful legislation for the sole purpose of making him look bad.

      But yeah…blame her for not doing anything different.

        Oh I will.

        That’s what a reasonable person does when a leader spends four years ignoring a cost of living crisis.

        She and Biden made sure Israel got their aid and their WMDs though.

          when a leader spends four years ignoring a cost of living crisis.

          Are you talking about Biden?

          The U.S. was recovering faster than other 1st world nations under Biden. Dude invested heavily in clean energy. He had a solid job creation record. He was forgiving student loans. He was trying to get medical debt off credit reports.

          Were you asleep during his presidency? Cuz it sure seems like a significant number of Americans were.
