Summary

Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”

In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.

Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.

    Yes. Her campaign shit all over Muslim americans. She refused to condem or even admit to the genocide. She repeatedly tried to gaslight americans over bidens mental fitness. And completely ignored the economic hardships many are experiencing. Wouldn’t commit to keeping ms khan because her family member was under investigation by the ftc.

    Absolutely disgusting. Never mind the fact she had no real policies positions that would have improved anything.

    And then on top of all that nonsense, palling around with Cheney. And rank and file members immediately throwing lgbt+ under the bus post election in an attempt to deflect responsibility for the loss because of their shit policies.

    Dont get me started about actions she took over the last 4 years as VP.

    But she and the dnc lost because they refuse to acknowledge how absolutely pissed americans workers are atm. And keep trying to gaslight us.

      It’s telling how much they downvote your sensible take

      Keep on it guys! If downvotes were real votes, you’d surely win the election!

        Downvotes are all they have to reasonable facts about how Democrats purposefully fuck over their voters to guilt them into voting for them compared to Literal Evil Republican Party.

      Yeah a bunch of people were pissed off. They should have voted for her anyway. The choice was shit, or radioactive shit. Personally, I’m kind of fucking furious over everyone with the privilege of washing their hands of participation because they knew they wouldn’t feel the consequences.

      The sad truth is that everything you posted is right, and it still wasn’t the reason she lost. A third of the country just didn’t fucking vote. And it wasn’t even in protest.
