Ari Melber invited me back on
@TheBeatWithAri
this week to talk about why I knew, and told him a week ago, that there would be no red wave. Hint: It's a false equivalency to think that the price of gas somehow equates with womens human rights being stripped away

(47,512 posts)We've been through these cycles over and over again throughout history. We have ways to address it, but it takes time and patience. However, the loss of democracy could be permanent and that would probably come with out-of-control inflation as well.

(3,861 posts)a lot of people who are concerned about inflation voted for Democrats because we know they will handle it a lot better than Republicans will. I'm concerned about crime, which is also why I voted for Democrats. And yes, gas prices bother me, but the Republicans won't do anything about it because it's price gouging by the corporate interests, and nothing else.
Republicans just naturally assumed that stoking up fear would lead to votes. But they offered nothing except finger pointing. No reason to vote for them.
