2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

[St. Clown]

I can't believe no one jumped on this.

what you are arguing for is deflation and I'd take a ****ton of inflation before I took even an ounce of deflation. Deflation is extremely bad and should be avoided at (almost) all costs. That you're advocating for deflationary policies is insane and kind of tells on you being a low information bomb thrower.

I saw that right before a meeting started.

Deflation begets many bad things, and absolutely starts a spiral towards economic depression.

Everybody stops buying all but the barest of necessities, waiting for that better deal on their favorite widget. Then the mass layoffs start, then prices depress even more as people can’t spend the money they’re not earning, and then more layoffs, and the cycle continues.

A few hundred, or even a few thousand items going through a price correction is a good thing. For deflation to happen, it’s dang near everything dropping like our collective spirit around here, or trixie’s credibility.

Joke being told to Americans in Germany...
What borders on stupidity?
Mexico and Canada...
I have to admit I laughed

Nobody advocated for deflation, learn how to read. Pretty obvious why your privileged *** just ignored the rest of the post talking about how the cost of everything went up drastically and why saying “economy fine IM SPEAKING”
isn’t a winning message but it’s pretty obvious by now you guys don’t actually care about that. Especially the racists like deutsche cheering for deportations and saying blatantly racist tropes about Muslims.

Exactly. Even a C-student economist would chew off their own arm to prevent deflation.

and like, really, eggs? We were coming out of a massive pandemic with runs on eggs because everyone started playing GBBO which was then followed immediately by a bird flu pandemic within the poultry industry decimating supply.

those prices ARE coming down and HAVE come down what would people *****ing about egg prices have Biden do? Shoot anyone who charges more than they used to? There's not much you can do about an entire supply get chopped in half simultaneously with demand doubling.

and if you want to talk about prices, look at congress, the real *******s responsible. They didn't do a goddamn thing to reign in corporate greed and gouging. Maybe direct your ire at Mike Johnson spending more time watching what his kid was looking up on pornhub than actually legislating.

and then the whole thing where trix just drops in only after a bad loss with a historically successful campaign* looking for a dog to kick. Same with his hero Bernie. Who for whatever reason excreted the line that the democrats abandoned workers despite Biden being the most pro-labor president since FDR.

*check swing states vs safe states and non-safe states; Harris was significantly more successful in the swings

[trixR4kids]

Harris dropped out of the primary in like 9th place in 2019 but ok lmao.

And who the **** said anything about eggs? Necessities like rent, housing, groceries, healthy insurance, cars, energy bills all went up. Telling everyone they’re wrong about this is laughable.

And it isn’t just one bad loss to Trump, they managed to do it twice

Fuck off. Go find another dog to kick.

you'll notice not a single person on here blamed leftists. We realized we were up against a juggernaut of inflation (despite it being back within historical norms for a year now). Worldwide you've got incumbent parties getting smoked on both the left and right.

maybe next time try to be constructive instead of swooping in like a douche and blaming everyone else. Christ.

Buddy what do you think the members of this echo chamber are doing? Telling Muslims they deserve to be deported in a vat of bacon grease or hoping the economy crashes because Harris couldn’t even run a campaign as well as Hillary’s… like maybe direct your ire at the party that stands for nothing.

Careful. Don’t leave trix behind. They’ll be forced to vote for Trump when he runs for his third term.

I'm stunned he didn't. Real tankie energy

[trixR4kids]

It literally doesn’t matter who I vote for in minnesota. Even this time around where Harris tried really hard to lose it.

Yeah, we’re just going to have to take the Ls.

I wonder if FIFA and the IOC will regret the upcoming World Cup and Olympics? Not a lot of profit to be had if nobody in the host country has any money.

[aparch]

Can't wait for the military tanks and missile trucks and goose stepping military branches to go rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue for the 250th July 4th in '26.

Oh, and can't forget he'll have a captive audience to speak to at the Olympic Games in '28!

Wow, this thread is SO MSNBC. It's hilarious. Which one of you is Maddow?

Did you read my original post?

You really do feel like you're talking down to people like me. Address that.

IDGAF who is responsible, I want change on this front, and it didn't happen. So yea, this is a legit reason why D's lost this election and why many young people gave them the finger in the process.

Get off your high horse. You really are acting like an elite ***** who makes $250k+/year. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
