All of them, but not all of them? Get your story straight, OP.

by Anonymousreply 3October 17, 2022 9:59 PM

Well, duh.

Of course they are - especially the ones that don’t work and are use to just being handed their hubby’s credit card for the day to day.

Now they are being told they can’t spend money at Bloomingdales - if they just shop they better go to TJ Maxx - and they better stick to the clearance racks. Their hubby’s are scrutinizing the monthly Amex bills and arguments erupt at the beginning of the month when the mortgage payment is due

The other group - the ones that actually work for a living are trying to budget what little they have l- just so they can afford groceries for the kids. They can’t even buy the kids cereal because even that’s too expensive nowadays. That, plus higher gas prices, to fuel their over priced over mileage used beaters has them on the brink. Listening to Pete tell them just to buy an 80k electric car doesn’t help things.

Their only recourse is to vote red Down ticket and pray they can get their old life back.

I don’t blame them one bit,

Actually r19 - abortion is actually classified as a boutique issue at the moment. It’s not as big of a deal as you may think. States rights and all that.. all the Supreme Court did was pass it back to the states. Most people recognize this despite the push to make it the main be all end all of the democrats campaign.

People care WAY more about the economy. It’s the number one issue. If you think abortion, trans issues and teaching CRT in elementary school is - you’re in fantasy land.

And when you have an administration that decides to change the definition of a recession ... even though it’s as clear as day that we are in one - People get tired of the gaslighting. They are worried about paying their bills - They don’t want to be told everything is great when it isn’t. They are sick of being lied to.

If you’re referring to us losing our constitutional rights - we won’t lose them. That being said people are damn tired of being made to feel like they can’t have or them. They can’t dare have their right to free speech, right to privacy, right to assembly, right to bear arms, rights to religion etc.. or the one relating to abortion - the 10th amendment - Rights reserved to states.

And there goes r26 on cue... the Boris bot.

There’s some kind of deviltry afoot. Why are they spending money claiming Zeldin has a snowball’s chance in hell? This is some fuckery that suggests they’re going to try to claim the election was “stolen” because Zeldin was “so close to victory” before the election.
