Oh that's not-

[BrokenMachine]

I mean, that was just said for impact. I see nothing wrong with it 

[50thStateofMind]

100,000,000% agree...worms for brains, these people.

[EnigmaticAndroid]

She's right and people don't realize that Trump's economic policies will probably make inflation and the economy even worse. 

[ImpressMeMuch]

she told no lie...?

[EnterTheAttic]

Shw didn't drag anyone.

This was an honest and heartfelt message.

I agree with her. Americans, enjoy the double inflation 

[John Slayne]

i get her point but cost of living is a real problem for millions, statements like this just come across as tone deaf and create more division in society

 

you won't convince people by invalidating their concerns about economy

if they cared so much about the economy they'd research and understand how trump's policies would make things harder for them, no? these are grown adults not children.

You're giving the majority of the US population far too much credit. As the results of the election have shown us, the vast majority of the general public will read literally ******* anything that they read on Facebook or Twitter at face value. No critical thinking whatsoever.

many grown adults also shilled for Kamala for the stupidest reasons and not because they are some sophisticated policy connoisseurs. let's not forget that biden failed to tackle growing wealth inequality and inflation + unemployment went up during his term.  i get that he inherited pandemic economy but let's not pretend him or Kamala are some working class champions when they spent the last two years chasing the white suburban and the non-existent Nikki Haley vote 

 

 

trump and many of his supporters are 100% bigots, racists, misogynists, christian fundamentalists, etc. but it's not the full picture and all these reductive takes are doing more harm than good.

Girl, what the hell are you even talking about? Biden was handed the worst American economy since the Great Depression and the Inflation Reduction Act saved us from the inflation Donald Trump PURPOSEFULLY caused and brought unemployment to its lowest level in 54 years.

 

The notion that Trump was good for the economy was a marketing tactic to take advantage of stupid people.

well, yeah, but violations to basic human rights are a real problem too

I looked through the person's profile that made the original post and of course it's a gen X white liberal gay man who likely won't be affected by any of this  telling poor people "I can't believe you care more about affording food than voting for Kamala!!!" Can white liberals just shut the **** up and focus on Thanksgiving dinner in a few weeks where they will sit and laugh with their uncles and cousins that made up the majority white Trump voters? 

[Blue Monday]

I'm getting really tired of having to feign empathy for people that vote against their best interests. First and foremost, the president is not going to control the price of groceries FULL STOP. Yes, the inequality in this country is absolutely out of control, but voting for Trump simply because you're feeling it more in your wallet now than you did 4 years ago is not only counterproductive (because he's not going to do a damn thing to benefit everyday people), it's proof that your bottom line matters more than the well being of your fellow citizens, many of whom will be directly impacted as a result of being minorities/in social classes that the people around Trump hate simply for existing. 

 

8, and even 4 years ago, I was more receptive to the idea of holding empathy for people who wandered over to his side after being led astray. This time around, no such patience exists, nor should it. He told us in his own words what he plans to do and the people voting for him simply do not care. Why should I hold space for people voting with their wallets when these people don't even care to consider how brutal and awful it will be to have families torn apart, or to continue to allow women to bleed out in parking lots or sustain injuries that leave them barren? Again, this is a moot point because Trump's "plan" is not even a plan; implementing tariffs will not do a damn thing to fight price gouging and corporate greed. People "want to go back" to a pre-covid world because they refuse to live in reality and reckon with the very real consequences of our greed and selfishness. They've decided to double down. Sara's post is calling it for what it is. I'm tired of coddling these people. These people heard (and saw signs that read) "MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW" and said "yes." That is despicable.
