Please educate me. Explain how the President can quickly fix grocery prices without an Executive Order? I haven’t seen anything else that can be done solely by the President.
Man, you really don't get it do you?
I never insinuated that a President could affect grocery prices, I said Democrats should be savvy enough to realize they should hold his promises against him, which clearly you are not.
Americans that on average read at a sixth grade level don't give a flying fuck if the President can magically fix grocery prices or not, it's what they want to believe and what they tell themselves so they can sleep through the hunger at night.
I honestly don't get how bad Democrats are at actually talking to people and connecting to regular people. You just hammer away that the guy in charge of the party in charge promised to fix your prices, you point out repeatedly that prices went up under their watch, regardless if it was their fault or not, and you outline how you will fix it, lie or not, in some folksy twang and not act like a giant pretentious douche talking down to the American public. Hell Democrats don't even have to lie if they would actually listen to what progressives have been trying to tell you Democrats, "It's the economy and the billionaire stupid".
I'd be watching those egg prices and blame Republicans for the rise in egg prices as soon as he takes his oath but you know Democrats won't be doing that, they're not smart enough and savvy enough to do it.
They lost on purpose. Legit, only way i can make sense of it. Not only should there have been a primary, when they stumbled on the (as in the. Period. No other option) working strategy they stopped it. If their fuckwit institutionalist ideology doesn't win they'd rather there be no one left to see their failure.
