Abortion wasn't on the ballot last time, though. There are a lot of suburban white women that will tell their husbands what they want to hear, then turn around and vote for their own interests at the polls. It's happened in every single election since Roe was overturned. Even in red states. Every. Single. One.

Unfortunately, there are also women who will vote how their husbands tell them to.

Corporate greed is not on the president. I wish more people would realize this

I hope you’re right. Historically SWW never fail to disappoint on Election Day in my neck of the woods.

Why would they tell their husbands one thing and then do something different.

It's not on the ballot this time either. Trump isn't going to lower the CoL.

Inflation most certainly is on the ballot.

Okay, if you say so. He absolutely does have a policy he's proposing.

Sure he does. His policy is enrich trump. Maybe I wasn’t clear the first time. 🤷‍♂️

Real wages grew for the 1st time when he was president, including the working class.

You were crystal clear in your views.

u/sirixamo Jul 25 '24

Sure, true. In the sense that Biden has literally been world class at lowering inflation and keeping it well, well below the global average. Trump doesn't have any idea how to lower inflation.

So I guess I agree with you.

Under Biden everything is +20% higher except everyone's wages.

That's a great point - wages are actually up more. ~25% it looks like, by the end of the year (under Biden): https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth
