I thought this article had some interesting findings that are especially relevant after the latest polls from 538 and the Economist suggested that Trump had a slight edge this coming November. Since 2020:
Biden has mostly seen an increase in support from demographics typically associated with high-turnout voters such as those who are college educated, live in suburbia, women, and even some older and white voters.
Trump, in contrast, has generally seen an increase in demographics associated with low-turnout voters such as those with no college education and men. He has also slightly increased his support amongst black and Hispanic youths.
Hopefully, this means Trump’s increased support does not translate into actual votes on November 5th. For Trump to win another term would be a complete disaster not just for the United States, but also the world.
His voters have shown time and time again their eagerness to vote despite not being reliable voters. They'll come out when there's a high enough chance to hurt the people they hate.
Prices will sadly never go down. As public perspective is locked on a price, prices will stay the same as cooperations will see any price decrease on their costs, as an increase in their profit margins.
Though I don't expect people that cling to Trump for hope of ever realizing that.
Yup. I believe Dubas had highly overrated GM skills. Not any experience at the NHL level. It’ll be interesting to see what damage he does to the Penguin organization.
Lower prices under mango Mussolini, a big bag of BS. The only thing that was low under his train wreck leadership were fuel prices, because he set a new record for unemployment and demand for fuel tanked.
The only complaint I have with this headline is that it says Trump’s policies “may” raise prices.
Trump’s policies absolutely will increase prices. His protectionist, mercantilist ideas about the economy will lead to more tariffs which will be paid for by the average American.
To be fair, Biden hasn’t been as free-trade as I’d have hoped he would be, but Trump is decidedly worse in this category.
I’d be fine with that. But wanting me to install an app now on my phone to get the discounts I always got for being a safe driver pisses me the fuck off.
Biden is doing everything in his power to eliminate the argument that trump is worse/less responsible/more bellicose.
As a trans person, I still hope genocide joe wins for my own personal safety. but I’m also aware that safety provided by dems is tenuous at best. Especially if we decide to fry the planet over Taiwan and Crimea.
As a fellow trans person, I don’t think Biden can guarantee my safety because I’m in a red state. He seems to be allowing red state anti-trans legislation without much pushback. At best he might not make the problem even worse, but he won’t protect us.
Thousands of hostages. Guess that means they’re allowed to pull an Israel and kill 200 times that number in civilians. At least based on what I’ve been told by people defending Israel.
Shroedinger’s Russian nuclear arsenal. When there’s a story about risking escalation, libs tell me it’s fine because Russia doesn’t have the money to maintain its nukes, so it’d only be a “limited” nuclear exchange. When this story comes out, the libs tell me that Russia has a much larger and better maintained nuclear stockpile, so it’s only necessary for the US to spend more on it to catch up. It’s sort of the same way that Russia simultaneously is on the verge of defeat, yet also has the intention and capability to conquer all of Europe, like Hitler, if we don’t stop him here.
The enemy is both strong and weak, and you never know which one it’s gonna be.
The thing is countries can change. Russia was ill equipped to fight a war against a prepared equipped country. Supplies were missing because people sold off supplies they thought were never gong to be needed. Now they know they need that equipment and the countries economy is on a war footing.
Look at how much a difference being prepared made for Ukraine the recent invasion compared to the earlier invasion of Crimea.
I’m not talking about changes over time, talking about things I’ve seen recently on here regarding Russia’s current status, in response to news stories and comments discussing the danger of escalation going nuclear.
If anybody wants an excellent overview of why the US thinks this is needed (and how other countries are doing their nuclear re-armament efforts), I highly suggest this video from perun: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBZceqiKHrI
