Which is why I voted for him in 2020. It’s 2022, and Trump polled with a 57% disapproval rating -that’s Hilary territory; nobody wants that as their leader if there are better alternatives.
Plus it means Trump will never win the Presidency again, 2016 notwithstanding. Unless the Dems recycle the corpse of Hilary of course…
Did you have something in mind?
No. Just curious.
Both Parties helped cause problems. There are no more than a handful or so of congressmen who truly support actual federalism.
Russia/Ukraine alongside geopolitical instability in the middle east is causing gas prices to inflate
That’s not necessarily just a ‘democrat’ vs ‘republican’ issue.
What continent are you on, anyway? The Democrats campaigned on and then followed through with their promise to kneecap our domestic energy industry. There were a number of day 1 Biden Administration executive orders regarding this issue. I linked video of this above.
Regardless of my opinion, a lot of Americans are seemingly on-board with where our present train is heading. We all get to learn where we’re headed together.
Not entirely. Steady increase since the first week of January 21. There’s a few things signed that week that made the US more susceptible to global supply issues and sharp price spikes.
Feb 22 the obvious spike from Russian invasion.
Please sweet, baby Jesus don’t let me ever have to see Stacey Abrams ugly-ass, gapped tooth face again.
Or Beto.
Amen.
Disagree
stopping or reducing energy production in your own country leads to high fuel prices
Just saw on Fox news YT (yeah, yeah), former Clinton pollster and adviser Mark Penn: says after these midterm results, Biden will absolutely run in 2024 unless his health (LOLLLLL) prevents it.
Also said, if DeSantis can triumph over Trump to get the nomination, DeSantis is unbeatable in 2024.
As I mentioned previously, Trump losing “face” because his candidates flopped or underperformed, is the upside of the lack of a red wave.

No matter who runs or wins the next presidency - it will not matter. We are headed towards global war and global economic catastrophe. At this point, there is no stopping it.
The interest on our debt is about to reach the entire DOD budget. Almost 1 trillion per year in just interest. A currency reset is coming and I guarantee when it is enacted is when they roll out the USD “crypto”.
It doesn’t matter who gets in office in the long term - we have been headed to the same point for a very long time.
Austrasiamico!
I lived in the states for seven years if that matters.
Australia is doing the same thing. Increasing gas prices, trying to encourage the procurement of electronic vehichles. The rationale is “fossil fuels are bad, global warming!” Notwithstanding the fact one needs to CHARGE up electronic vehicles frequently.
I’d be all for it if we had a sustainable alternative that could be quickly implemented. Within the next decade I imagine we will have an alternative.
Out of curisoity, what percentage of Americas fuel is domestically produced?
I don’t think his death could prevent it.
Death did not stop a PA state rep from being re-elected.
That’s because Democrats are thoughtful voters, who vote for the individual and not for the Party. Or something.
Their follow through was terrible then.
We are pretty close to net even on imports and exports. The yellow line below is net exports of petroleum products. Very close to 0.
We could produce more oil here. I’ll give you that. Biden hasn’t helped in that regard, but we are in a global economy. If the prices elsewhere are a lot higher, our domestic oil products will end up going there. Then even though we are producing more than we need, we would still see high prices at the pump.
I think it really is a global issue. Biden’s policy hasn’t helped our situation here, but even if there were no restrictions, not all of that oil would stay here for cheap. It would be exported and split up among many countries meaning we would only see a bit of relief at the pump.
Yes, we should have let Russia steamroll the Ukraine.
But, we can’t have the politicians’ children corrupt training ground and money laundering state just be let go so easily.
Of course it is a global commodity. Of course there was new production set in motion during the previous administration.
Biden has been clear in both word and deed that limiting the future supply is a priority.
Well the fix is in
all the voting issues are in democrat controlled areas with republicans having a chance to win…arizona, nevada, california…sad
