    Funnily, most Americans still think Republicans are better on economy, although Republican presidents brought recession and Democrats recovery.

    Biden is doing more for domestic investment than any president in recent history....he's bringing computer chip manufacturing back to the states and upgrading rapid transit trains so the alternative to driving will be faster, cheaper and a safer way to commute....global warming is going to get addressed under Democratic leadership...Republicans want to pollute and abuse resources for short term profits because the wealthy don't think they'll suffer from global warming as they're already too old to have much future anyway or in some cases...they want to see the world burn and fulfill some Armagedón fantasy that will end their earthly suffering.....yeah...it's not looking too bright these days if the GOP takes over again. As they haven't really been held accountable yet, I'm not happy about the state of this country. Let's hope the youth of our voting population wake up and take control of the future soon.

    Republican candidate for Arizona governor went on Fox to claim women are getting abortions while on the way to the hospital to give birth.
    And she knows that's a lie.

    Asked by CNN what their top priorities are if they take the House, Republican leaders said
    Hunter Biden
    Investigating Covid conspiracy theories
    Removing metal detectors from Fouse chamber doors, so Congress members can bring guns
    Cutting social security and Medicare

    That will surely end crime and bring down the price of gas.

    I'm a registered Republican so I get that attention very often. I vote a straight Democrat ticket because Republicans won't let anyone win fair and square unless it's a MAGA Republican and that's not how red blooded America works.

    Dems should back off on wedge issues and just focus on protecting rights and access to education, healthcare and improving the social safety net.

    There are very popular policies that make a ton of sense. Stick to those.

    But Dems have their own corporate overlords to appease...

    FWIW, I've always wanted balance to the extent that it can be done. I'm also hopeful for the future of my kids and grandkids. Biden draining our current oil reserves doesn't seem prudent. We still need to keep drilling now with an expiration date on that. Continue to incentivize auto manufacturers to produce EV vehicles. Again, though, we're still dependent on fossil fuels. Realize that, and drill accordingly.

    Gerrymandering will be the biggest topic of this election. this shit needs to stop, and it’s gonna take a lot to do it.

    expand the Supreme Court first, then a pass a Bill (HR 1) banning partisan gerrymandering.

    this must happen or our democracy is dead

    Cops are well-paid.

    Cops and police unions don't want more training.

    How much do you think a police officer should make?

    Last year in Portland over 20 officers made over $200,000

    ...

    Police and training are very similar to how you post here. You make some bigoted posts and then claim you didn't know better. Just like the police, they fuck up they claim it's a lack of training, but if they get the training they can no longer use the lack of training as an excuse.

    This is the BS republicans keep pushing, that we are not drilling for oil. In 2015 the US produced 567 million Metric tons of oil. In 2021 the us produced 711 million metric tons of oil. The US is drilling and producing more oil now then ever, but listen to you and the fellow republicans and the oil fields are shut down. Let me guess. OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE, so canada can send their oil to the gulf and shipped over seas. It is amazing to me that lies republican's tell and you and the rest just eat it up. it is easy to refute these lies it, but the cult members won't believe it. So tell us how we need to keep drilling when we are producing more oil then ever.

    You haven't been correct on a single politician since 2016. I think I'll take Sly's opinion over yours. You keep having to eat crow when your preferred candidates turn out to be inhuman shit bags, yet you keep "trusting your gut". It grows rather tiresome.
