Because its my right to vote, you against that?

Furthermore, there is more than just the white house to vote for.

Since who is in the White House means nothing to you, why don't you just stay at the house and not vote this year.?

Antithesis, them people will whine about anything and as soon as their savior is elected again, magically everything will be better before inauguration day. They did the same thing during 2016 election.

They put their entire self worth into who is in the white house. Pretty sad, but they been conditioned to do such.

Then why are Democrats and Republicans alike complaining about grocery and gas prices?

The Democrats recognize that hyper inflation was a global problem after COVID. Republicans seem to have forgotten about COVID and ignore the rest of the world, falsely blaming it all on Biden.

Anti suggests that wages increased more than enough to offset inflation. I don't know about you guys but my wages haven't increased by 30 to 40%, if any of yours went up enough to cover the inflation then good for you.

Inflation from 2020 to now would be 21.6%, not 30 to 40%...


Wages might not have increased in your industry, but that's not the case nationally...


I suspect that what you're seeing is a local issue, which would be a reflection on local leadership...

I don't know about you guys but my wages haven't increased by 30 to 40%, if any of yours went up enough to cover the inflation then good for you. Most jobs haven't gone up more than 5% a year on average to account for inflation and many people don't even get that because the job market is terrible right now and employers know it.

the 33% yellow dog dimocrats are going to lie about it...


Orrr... they remember actual facts. Like COVID. And hundreds of thousands of deaths.

And maybe they recognize that wages have outpaced inflation, so while products are more expensive they still have more money at the end of the month.

Fact Check: Rasmussen is most frequently accused of bias because their results are thought to lean toward Republican candidates.

A new Rasmussen poll finds only 38% of PA voters say they are better off now. And like the gowilkes smurfs, the 33% yellow dog dimocrats are going to lie about it. So that only leaves about 5% that are really saying they're better off.

Let's not forget the toilet paper shortage of four years ago.
Remember not being able to dine out back then.
We worried about our own health.
We saw love ones die four years ago.
It's not a fair comparison.
Rather ask if your life will be better off in four years from now.

What I find interesting is that this is strictly partisan... only Trump-supporters say that they are not better off. But they refuse to say how much their income has changed in those last 4 years.

And I'm sure that none of them will acknowledge how many people they knew died from COVID in 2020. But I'm pretty confident that most of those people's families would feel like things were better before 2020.

"The problem is not the White House and it's politics, the problem is you folks forgetting that we have had to drag ourselves out of a pandemic...due to it being ignored by that big ole fugly orange fella

The problem is corporations that didn't make those big profits when all shut down...have been making up for those lost profits ever since!!!"
