The good folk who somehow vote for Trump puff piece has become a staple in outlets like The NY Times and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. <br /> I think there are lots of reasons the left blows it. Instead of asking “do you really want to put a woman who has had an abortion in Jail?” We get ivory tower hokum about the patriarchy and sound like bitter divorcées. The Me Two moment of which we are so proud has basically been used to eat our own and make it appear we don’t care about fair play ( had Tara Reid been 5% less nuts, we would be living through Trump II). <br /> There’s a lot you could consider. But since Bob is only willing to consider the situation from one angle( does Right Wing responsibility begin ANYWHERE?) he’ll never have anything meaningful to say on the subject. But yes, more direct and dispassionate honesty and less snark might help. Yet we must note, there is to support attempts at civility will get results with Republicans.

Biden's lowest poll numbers are around Trump's highest. The problem is Dems are less likely to actually vote. When impediments to voting are diminished, like mail in ballots, Dems win, like in 2020. When progressives hit their stride with messaging, Dems win, like the blue wave in 2018. <br /><br />Somerby's notion is complete bunk, the reason people identify with a party is baked in early in life, voters are not going to switch parties, it is a matter of who has easy access to vote and who is motivated to vote, and Republicans have an advantage in both these cases = Republicans obstruct access to voting, and due to their inherent nature and privilege, they are more motivated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-46961982199162898582022-02-02T18:12:47.080-05:002022-02-02T18:12:47.080-05:00You want to know what supply chain caused increase...You want to know what supply chain caused increases in prices> Why don't you start here.<br /><br />https://prospect.org/economy/how-we-broke-the-supply-chain-intro/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-48513848614356778382022-02-02T18:05:31.143-05:002022-02-02T18:05:31.143-05:00Lily - I didn't present any figures on the eco...Lily - I didn't present any figures on the economy.

You should read Drum's blog more often.<br /><br />Also, covid has gone from affecting everyone to affecting mostly those who are unvaccinated (in terms of hospitalizations and deaths). Being vaccinated, I see that as progress. <br /><br />Drum showed graphs a few days ago that made it plain that volent crime overall is not rising, only homicides (murders). Black murders are not driving that increase, as you suggest. They show the same pattern as white murders. <br /><br />Biden has created more jobs, there are wage increases, unemployment is at historic lows, the stock market is doing fine, and Biden has improved the creation of manufacturing jobs over what Trump did. Most economists see the inflation as temporary and covid-related. <br /><br />Since you have not gotten the message about any of this, it must be the messaging and not the actual results, which are strong for Biden.<br /><br />I dislike having to spend time contradicting your nonsense whenever you post a bunch of lies here.
