    Simple thought exercise.

    There is a commercial of people illegally entering the country. It uses the common ethnicity of those illegally breaking our laws.

    Now a little empathy exercise. You are an ethnicity that is common to those who are breaking our laws. You did everything right. You have family members doing everything right to try and become American citizens or get work visas. Now tell me they should be offended by a commercial that is just portraying a real issue.

    I get you are so focused on being offended you can’t see straight. But spare me the “brown is bad”. It shows you are the race baiter you are.

    Inflation and the economy are a mess because of the dems. Covid is more of an issue for education and shots for kids that don’t need them. But it is absolutely part of the economy and inflation based on policy decisions made.

    Keep thinking this is just a midterm shift lol. It is going to be brutal for the dems. They earned more than the normal!

    Can't be simple because you really didn't think this one through.

    It really does show how worried the dems are about the midterms. Biden wants to frighten dems into coming out to vote. Again, the rhetoric is not friendly, downright hostile towards pubs. Too many voters like me who don’t want to hear the president talk about maga when the country is suffering from high taxes and dependence on outside oil.

    You didn't answer my question. And your thought exercise requires no thought. It's just a statement.

    And that real issue? People have be been coming across our Southern border for generations. It's nothing new. And nothing we've done has ever stopped the flow, or even slow it down.

    Now, if you're Hispanic, and see people who look like you portrayed as invaders, murderers, rapists, and will turn the US into a third world country, please explain how that's not racist.

    “Because Democrats” somehow explains worldwide inflation? C’mon man, it’s not that simplistic.

    I think you’re being a bit sensitive and over dramatic.

    Maybe not but you shouldn’t spend and raise taxes while under inflation and possible recession.
    Be honest. Dems are not doing the best job on energy either. It’s why y’all aren’t talking about the issues. It’s why you have Hillary and Barack on the trail talking about Trump.

    Maybe he is worried. Probably so. It's par for the course that the midterms go for the party not in power. It's cyclical - everyone knows that. But again, his speech that you're referring to wasn't hostile towards pubs, it was hostile to maga. There is a difference and he made the distinction... clearly. I also made it, clearly in my last post. But you're lumping everyone right of center in the same boat - painting with a broad brush and saying he's hostile to all pubs. Again, he did not do that. In fact he went out of his way to make the distinction - but you're won't acknowledge this important point.

    Sorry you don't want to hear him talking about a real threat. Maga election deniers are a very real threat to democracy (see my example in the earlier thread re: Wisconsin - and it's far from the only instance).

    Would you agree that those who rise to power, then refuse to adhere to the will of the people by not accepting results of the election, or worse... fixing them, are a threat to democracy? Can we start there and agree? After all, free and fair elections is what makes America, America, no?

    No. AZ is in Arizona. This is pretty clear in context.

    AZ is in Arizona. He wanted to make up some pointless exercise. So I countered with another to show the race baiting by him.

    Yes the dems have thrown way too much cheap money into the economy. They get to own it now…

    Keep trying to blame this on world wide inflation lol!

    Who is the President? Is it Trump?

    Eventually you will realize democracy is working just fine right now.

    We all want fair and free elections. Yes.
    But you seem to have dismissed the poll I cited earlier too. I know it’s one poll but do you think those polled were only maga types? Probably some dems mixed in there too who said it was a divisive speech.
    Can’t both of us make points that are true?

    He didn't race bait. You just don't understand what racism is.
