What ya mean? Like some albertans who blame the NDP for all the provinces woes , even though they haven’t been in power for how many years, they will just say it’s the dems fault still.

Not addressing inflation was a killer. Inflation brings down nearly every govt.

It's Tuesday morning quarterback now, but she should have run on a platform of:
1. Kill Inflation by balancing the federal budget and reducing the deficit
2. Tax cuts for small businesses under $10m in turnover and individuals under $400k.
3. Immigration: we're closing the our borders and moving to skills based Immigration, not corporate led. Complete overhaul.

Legacy media is in a death spiral. The only cable news outlet that's consistently pulling in eyeballs is Fox and we all know why that is.

Having Rogan, The Daily Wire, Twitter, Turning Point USA, LibsofTikTok, Adin Ross, etc., to spread your message is far more valuable than having CNN and MSNBC push it.

And honestly, fair play to the Trump campaign for recognizing that early on. From what I understand, it was actually Baron who was pushing his dad to go on many of these alternative platforms to reach out to young men, and it worked.

But that would be racist, that would drive away the Latino vote.

The Democrats actually believe that all non-white people support all non-white people and all support LGBT rights etc... BIG Tent identity politics.

Those are futures contracts. At retail, eggs did not cost $0.50 a dozen in 2016.

The job is awesome. You get chauffeured everywhere and all you do is 'executive time' and golf.

How do you address inflation to some of the dumbest voters? If you can't understand that it was a worldwide issue and that they got inflation under control they can't sell anything.

Instead, they voted for more inflation with tariffs. That is how dumb the American voters are.

It's going to be beautiful watching them struggle to buy those same eggs when Trumps inflation hits or put gas in the car.

Which is something the Dems should chew on as they reposition their party away from Obama era. Back to practical working class issues.

They'll have every chance to win in 28 if Trump enacts tariffs he has promised. Inflation will skyrocket. I can't imagine a US assembled product being cost competitive with China or even Mexico. If he Tariffs to onshore jobs hoping that will offset rise in cost of living, good luck.

He caught a good wave by chance last time, I am betting this one won't be so foolproof.

I just hope the Dems learn properly from this, unlike last time in 2016.

[rubecube]

Just to add to my previous post; not only are the Dems not establishing their own mediasphere or engaging with these alternative platforms, they are actively trying to alienate their biggest draws on those platforms.

There was an active effort by the pro-Israel wing of the party (e.g. Richie Torres) to try to get Hasan Piker, probably the most popular left-wing streamer, banned from Twitch because he's pro-Palestine.

Just absolutely brain dead stuff.

I think it's pretty obvious that Trump and RFK Jr are the best option for bringing down egg prices that have spiked due to uncontrolled spread of avian flu. Just need to remove a few regulations, and it'll all be OK.

The trouble is you cant address inflation, you can only lie about it, there is nothing anyone can do about supply chain issues, post Covid and the Ukraine crisis, Trump hasnt got an answer, he's just selling bull#### to the rubes

Since degenerate gambling has entered the political sphere, it does seem like we should take it to the next level. I need me some odds on the US having a polio outbreak in the next four years.

You sure?

2017 - Trump makes a mockery of hurricane relief in Puerto Rico
2019 - Trump suggests trading Puerto Rico for Greenland
2024 - "Puerto Rico is a floating island of garbage"; Trump Rally

Trump commandingly wins 2024 presidential race and popular vote

On the backs of uneducated whites who like this kinda talk

[Reggie Dunlop]

Racist text messages are targeting Black Americans across the country, telling them they've been selected to be enslaved and forced to pick cotton on a plantation. Screenshots of the widespread messages, signed off by someone claiming to be a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, are being reported to authorities and posted on social media sites.

Could be the work of Russians, or it could be hate groups becoming emboldened.

Didn’t he also claim that he was going to slash energy costs by 50%? ��

[WCW Nitro]

It wasn't a messaging problem on inflation, it's just that are a lot of dumb people who fall for misinformation, about this and many other things. Republicans will win as long as they have a charismatic enough candidate with today's social media environment.

Just wait until when RFK Jr. guts the FDA. They will be able to get cheap eggs and all the delicious an nutritious salmonella they want.
