    The issue this year, without a doubt, is the economy again

    The economy is actually in much better condition, now.

    You can tell the article was written by a man because it pretends abortion rights aren’t the elephant in the room.

      I agree abortion is the big elephant. I support abortion which makes me out of alignment with many conservatives. If you look when it goes to vote, abortion is protected. That means many conservatives are like me but just not vocal about it.

      The economy is not better since Biden took office. Average wages & household incomes have been stagnant but inflation over that period was over 15%.

        You need to step out of your echo chamber once in a while… whether you want to blame the pandemic or Trump, Biden received a steaming pile of shit and the general consensus from all objective analysts, regardless of party, is that the Biden administration has done an admirable job under very difficult circumstances.

        Please, support whoever deserves your support, but do not base it on the rumor mill. Please look at real, actual facts and then make an educated decision instead of an emotional decision.

        10-OCT

        The annual inflation rate was 0.1 percentage point lower than August and is the lowest since February 2021.

        This means that inflation is now lower under Biden than under Trump.

        The Hill (notoriously conservative) - 17-SEP-2024

        It’s official: America’s real wages are up under Biden-Harris

        Separately:

        In August 2024, inflation amounted to 2.5 percent, while wages grew by 4.6 percent. The inflation rate has not exceeded the rate of wage growth since January 2023.

                No, I’m just not willing to play your stupid fucking game where you make me do all of the work while you sit around and chuckle to yourself that you’re such an edgelord. There is nothing I quoted there that isn’t readily available with 1 minute of your effort on Google. The only thing you have proven is that you don’t care about the truth.

                  …so you can’t provide a link. I did, it showed inflation below 2% in January & February of 2021 then jumped in March and hasn’t been below 2% in any month since.

                    you can’t provide a link

                    Again, you’re being obtuse. I chose not to provide a link. I’m not going to do all of the work for you. The information is readily available; you just have to remove your head from your ass and look at it.
