That long overdue red wave is coming!

Now, when you get your coveted Red Wave -- please tell us all, in your own words, how the Republicans will lower inflation. Will they, for example, cut medicare, medicaid and social security? I mean, nobody needs those, right? Will they, do you think, make laws about how much businesses can charge for their products? Heck, capitalism wouldn't mind. Or, do you think, they will issue orders around the world that every other nation get its supply-chain in order? Oh, maybe they'll take over OPEC -- that's doable isn't it?

The Democrats have been peddling the idea that Republicans will cut medicare, medicaid, and social security for years...remember them spouting Paul Ryan will push grandma off the cliff.
It appears that you are living in the Democrate derangment bubble if you believe anything they are saying...."it's an election year".
What do the Democrats want to do?
Well let see
Forgive billions in student loan debt and make us taxpayers pay for it......they are for the working class...bullcrap
Close all the coal fired generating plants in the country
No more drilling for fossile fuels President Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud in New York: "No More Drilling"
Throw more money into the economy and cause inflation to rise more

Just what do you think they, the Democrats, will do to improve the economy?

The Republicans themselves constantly call for reductions in social security, medicare and medicaid. I rather thought one should believe them about that.

And, since climate change is really a real thing, and this isn't even controversial in the science community, what will your money really buy your progeny when there's no habitable planet for them to live on?

If you believe that we can survive without using all of the resources available to us you just might be living in a bubble world.
Yes, I agree that we need to work toward a cleaner world; however getting rid of fossile fuel isn't going to happen in your lifetime and definitely not mine.
The idea that we can switch to a world without fossile fuel in the immidiate future is, how should I say, ridiculous.
Fossile fuel makes up 60% of the electric generating power in the U.S. and I believe it makes up around 20% in Canada (50% from hydroelectric)
Also from Google Coal produced 67.8% of Canada's emissions from electricity generation, followed by 28.9% from natural gas 3.2% from oil and diesel.

What I find odd (but hardly surprising) about this response is that it is simply unresponsive to the question asked. I asked "what will Republicans do," and you focused entirely on Democrats. I'm guessing, then, that your hidden answer is "nothing at all."

I have answered your question before and here is the answer again
The Republican can not do anything as long as Biden is president if they do not have 2/3 majority in the House and Senate.
Reason is Presidental veto.

However they can stop the Democrats and that is exactly the best they can do until 2024.

Livng in New York, I see first hand how Democrats work.

The result? One of the absolute worst possible states for anyone to ever live in.

Oddly, that's not how U.S. News ranks it. In fact, states that are usually blue generally rank above states that are usually red.

Problem is what one considers the factors and their number 1 pick Washington. Maybe they, US News, should get some better reporters.

10 States People Are Fleeing And 10 States People Are Moving To
Washington State is number 6 on the leave it state.

Did you know that in the 2020 election, Biden won roughly 520 counties in the US, while Trump won the awesome total of 2,564. "Oh, wow!" I hear you shout, and "shouldn't that make him a huge (or as he would say 'Yuuuge!' winner?"

But alas, the bad news is this: those 2,564 counties that Trump won account for just about 29% of the total US GDP (Gross Domestic Product), while Biden's paltry 520 counties account for fully 71% of the US GDP.

So I'm guessing, with your hatred for where you live, is that you just don't like prosperity.

Nice brag.

I don't see prosperity for the working class.

For the wealthy and their crony union buddies though, it's paradise.

Congratulations for Democrats for a self serving job well done.

Where's the "red wave"?
Did Pubs shoot themselves in the foot
with their anti-abortion ruling?
And with SCOTUS threatening gay
marriage....& even contraception?

Perhaps Ameristan isn't as fundamentalist
Christian as they thought, eh.

It isn't the Democrats responsible for our declining standards of living, nor do I see America as a paradise for the rich, if they have to live sequestered lives in private enclaves; rich men in a poor country.

"Crony union buddies?!" Haven't unions been the traditional bugbears of the rich, owner-class?

All it takes is a good look at the type of unions Democrats support.

Hint:

It's not private unions.

There was no red wave. Which shows how extreme and radicalized the Republican party has become

U. S. Election Day 2022. All Signs Point to a “Red Wave.”

It's refreshing to see people finally waking up and seeing things as they actually are.

Thank you Times of Israel for an excellent news piece.

Putting it bluntly, the Democrats will do nothing to improve the situation. They will just keep on making things worse since they took charge.

But the good news is that AOC just barely squeaked through again with only 70%.

I'm guessing people had some pretty similar complaints when we switched from horse-driven carriages to automobiles.
Or from kerosene lamps to electricity.
Or any other countless numbers of major changes human beings have had to make along the way.
And yet somehow, some way, we did it.
With the type of attitude you have, we might as well just throw in the towel and give up.

Of course. It's the People's Republic of New York

They totally deserve her.

Difference is one is progressive , the other is regressive.

People tend to be pretty stupid telling the difference between the two.

That long overdue red wave is coming!
