She might have been for this before running, but I don’t think this was part of her platform. Having said that, people are basing their decisions on this issue, that speaks pretty poorly of the electorate.

Dems are bad messaging and don’t differ enough from corporate Republicans. That’s why they lose elections. Not because of pee pees and veejays.

You’re as delusional as Murph if you don’t think the culture war had a lot to do with this past election.

What happened was Harris had a small line in the debate calling Trump's tariffs a tax cut, instead of spending the entire debate debunking his stupidity on that one, critical issue.

The thing about the culture wars is - politicians don't really need to fight them. They fight themselves. If Obergfell was overturned today, gay marriage would be illegal in California. Even this 6-3 court which includes Roberts, Thomas, and Alito who dissented, would not overturn Obergfell. Gay marriage is a thing. Not going back. Women get to vote, and have credit cards, and can buy homes. Society moves on with these things in parallel to the fights in DC and on TV.

Given that, stake out your position when asked, and focus on the big ticket issues. Harris did the opposite, and then spent an inordinate time trying to win the election by trolling Trump. Pathetic.

Trump says Wal-Mart needs to EAT THE TARIFFS. Bessent gets on TV and says he talked to Wal-Mart and they are in fact going to eat some of the tariffs, he says. Bottom line - the tariffs are going to be split between consumers and Wal-Mart, which cuts Wal-Mart's bottom line and either comes out of employee compensation or the stock price. Either way - all of the tariffs will be paid for by Americans, not China. How Harris did not prosecute this case beggars all belief.

Nobody is either right or wrong on keeping Eberlose. Or Justin Fields.

As long as the McCaskeys own the team, the Bears will suck. Period. Doesn't matter who the GM, coach, or QB are.

Obese, excessively tattooed, uneducated white people who identify as cunsurevuhteeve don't have a clue what woke means, but they know they hate the woke agenda.

Thought you were talking about modern feminists at first.

If inflation hadn’t gone nuts, there would be a Democratic president. Sure, some people vote over bathrooms and pronouns, but it’s the economy, stupid!
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Haha I compared you to delusional murph and you retorted with something delusional Murph always says that conveniently lets the Democrats off the hook: it was purely messaging around the economy and definitely not the flood of illegal immigrants or discriminatory DEI practices or insane gender ideology! If you just pretend it was the economy you won’t have to take any Ls on the fundamentally and deeply unpopular positions of the progressives. Until the next election, that is.

From the right-wing rag National Review. Even they concede inflation was the death-blow. Yes, they mention some of the other reasons, but inflation was the main reason the Dems lost. The border probably second.

It's 2025. There are a few companies within spitting distance of where I am sitting who will quickly provide that answer for you. The fact you are asking here means one of a few things...

1) You are too stupid to use Google
2) You are too lazy to use Google
3) It's a lame attempt at a shitposting rhetorical question

I'm guessing #1

While a lot of Trump supporters (Mn cough cough) are super fucking racist, a lot of racism pretty much comes from needing someone to blame for their woes, whether externally caused or self inflicted (Custard cough cough).

The whole border shit is a joke. Plenty of illegals in California, have been forever. Among quality of life or economic issues, that's a completely trivial component of any problems we may or may not have. Maybe other states are less adept at dealing with it, but frankly the border is a made up boogeyman compared to tariffs, FEMA not being functional, etc...

Trump supporters have lost more money to his meme coin scams than the border
