Look, if these complete morons on the Right want to vote against their self-interests and America, they are beyond help, and all I will do is keep working my a-- off to make sure people understand this.
What we have is a failure to communicate on the Left.
The truth is these people support the America-attacking blowhard because he stirs their cold blood. He makes them feel good about looking backward instead of at all the possibilities ahead. He makes them feel good about thinking they are the only thing that matters and that they have somehow been cheated out of their dark, empty lives.
They don’t want to make America better. They want to make everybody else’s lives worse.
All they are is angry, and have finally found a lewd, racist conman who can put a megaphone to their tantrums, and deal the rest of America plenty of pain. He has no goddamn answers for them or us.
What we have right now is a MASSIVE messaging problem.
From the minute the Biden Administration took power it worked like hell to tackle a global crisis that was exacerbated by the previous administration. I mean, holy s— even infrastructure got done, and do you know who has benefited most from that? White people.
If that didn’t resonate, it’s not because it didn’t happen. It’s because too many people didn’t know about it.
Democrats: BUT THE ECONOMY IS BETTER!! Shut up with your ignorant “bad economy” THE STOCK MARKET IS UP!! Yeah yeah a single person spends almost $100/week on groceries not even enough to last the week and wages haven’t moved much for low earners unless I aggregate as many sectors as possible and show a compiled list of averages, BUT THE STOCK MARKET!! So what if your wage didn’t increase much, the chart says it did!!!
Also Democrats: how are we tone deaf?
Seriously though, it would be funny if it wasn’t handing the greatest military power the world has ever seen over to fascism.
If someone’s spending $100/wk. in groceries, they’re not even trying. My wife and I spend about $130 every 2-weeks.
$132 last trip and that included steaks and shrimp.
… I have limited options. I buy a family pack of chicken (the cheapest they have, no organic anything) a can of beans, a can of mixed vegetables and a can of mushrooms for a weeks worth of lunch. I get a pack of romaine lettuce, a tomato and an onion for a “weeks worth” of dinner. I also get a weeks worth of cat food. The only “extras” is milk. No snacks, no dessert, nothing extra. Where I live that’s $80-100 depending on if I need things like garbage bags or dressing.
Are you in a rich area?! Food’s quite cheap if we shop around, hit the crappy grocery stores, but mostly we do Aldi.
Where I am it’s “rural” enough that I only have 2 options within 30-40 mins of my house and they’re both similarly priced. I’d have to go about an hour to somewhere that might have better prices, but I rent a garage “apartment” so I can’t buy bulk as I don’t have a freezer and my refrigerator was apparently pulled from a camper or something. It’s like a playschool “babys first refrigerator” lol
