It is infuriating how, according to polls, many Americans are so obsessed with economic issues, that they are ignoring the most important matters—Abortion Rights and the Threat to American Democracy!
Anyone with any sense of history would know that the Republican Party presided over nine of the last ten recessions going back to 1953 onward, with the only exception being the brief recession in 1980 under Jimmy Carter!
It is lack of knowledge and being easily manipulated by propaganda that the economy will be better under Republicans, when it has NEVER been better, and inflation was high under Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush at periods of their Presidencies!
The world is not going to be better just because gasoline prices come down, and food prices come down, and neither of these issues is caused by Democrats and Joe Biden, but rather by international circumstances, including the Russian war on Ukraine.
Hopefully, common sense will prevail in three weeks, as it is extremely worrisome to think that the right of women to control their own body, and the preservation of democracy hangs on a thread of gas and food prices, when this will pass, but we cannot afford the loss of basic human rights and American democracy!
Frustrates me as well.
The Democrat running for House in our Congressional district must be concentrating on the more liberal areas of the district, as I haven’t seen any ads for him on our local TV stations or our local radio stations or in our local newspaper.
Bernie Sanders is worried about turnout amongst young people and working people. He suggests that Democrats should focus their messaging on the economy, not abortion, to drive turnout.

Absolutely outrageous and unacceptable, Pragmatic Progressive! 🙁
I’ve donated money to the Democrats. I’ve mailed in my ballot. Now I’m praying that Americans will come to their senses and keep the ReThuglicans from winning.
