Forward doesn't mean better; it can mean things have gotten worse. There have been plenty of losses, including rights - take 2nd Amendment rights, as an example. There are other issues, such as inflation (legal financial bankster theft).
Problem is, the current MAGA brand has gotten the acronym wrong. It's actually MARA, not MAGA.
There are alternatives like Tulsi Gabbard.
What gun rights have been limited? Should the mentally ill have access to guns? Should those with domestic violence issues have guns, as if before the SCOTUS now? The SCOTUS has been very generous in their interpretation of this right. This generosity has certainly allowed the USA to have a serious gun violence problem, including mass shootings. What more do you want? Total access to machine guns? Children having guns? Explain.
Inflation is a global issue, not something local. The only reason that Biden was able to slow inflation in the USA was due to government having the authority to regulate commerce. Still, the government can't stop corporations from taking advantage of higher wages and pushing up prices to increase profits, and that is what they have done. No president or congress could stop them, including Trump. What can Trump do about inflation if he's elected? No one knows, he never mentions it. He just rants about boat batteries and being attacked by a shark. The man is disturbed ns incoherent.
You seem to be confused, as usual of late. We all remember how you repeated complained that the powerful never see justice for their actions and the one time that it is happening you oppose it. And this action is far more deserved than any other in the last 100 years. It is hard to take anyone seriously that cannot argue consistently and rationally.
Why would you blame Biden for inflation? If anything you should vote for him since he has done better with inflation than other countries have.
Never thought that. BUT if you support Trump then you are by default a MAGA.
Notice you only focus on "gun rights" & it's much broader than just guns. Anyhow, nothing is limiting 2nd Amendment rights, because that's not possible with laws (i.e. they're unconstitutional); in other words, it would have to be repealed in order for there to be limitations. What is happening now is that our 2nd Amendment rights are being infringed by any laws that impose any sort of restriction, ban, or mandate pertaining to keeping and bearing arms. Even taxes on the purchase, sale, rent, lease, possession, storage, or use of arms would be unconstitutional, for the same reason poll taxes are unconstitutional.
Global not local is bandwagon fallacy - the US doesn't have to have a private central bank system that issues interest-bearing money loaned into existence, like the rest of the world. I don't know that Biden was able to slow inflation - that's begging the question fallacy. I'm only interested in actual inflation negatively affecting the average American buying groceries, fuel, paying rent, etc., not whatever political propaganda statistics you seem to be referring to.
Do you have any reason for posing such a question, or was it simply some ugly knee-jerk smear?
Voters having to deal with higher costs of groceries, fuel, rent, etc. will decide whether Biden or anyone else would be the best candidate.
Oh I hear it all the time from the liberals I know. Plus, they tend to politicize EVERYTHING. It's tiresome.
Of course I have a reason; read the post I'm responding to.
I'm going to write someone in. It doesn't matter because the electoral college votes will go overwhelmingly to one candidate. But at least I won't have either candidate on my conscience.
Your rhetorical response was worthless at best.
Aren't you the same forum dweller who I suggested to put me on ignore if you don't like what I post?
Oh, I don't live in California. Thank goodness, or I'd be even poorer.
Therefore? At issue here is that you're the same dweller who backhandedly suggested that @F1fan cares nothing about violence other than gun violence.
Well if we are going to be so hard line on the amendment then we had better make sure citizens are part of militias for these rights to be enforced. The dilemma is that the militia part of the 2nd amednment is ignored, completely. The 2nd amendment is only one sentence, so how does that half get ignored, and the right to own and bear arms get inflated to a broad absolute? What would January 6, 2021 have been different if those Trump supporters been armed with machine guns? The Capitol poilce and congress was lucky there were laws in DC that limited guns. Fortunately most of those rioters followed that law. How many police would have died if the law was ignored?
Oh my, as if mass killers are so mentally sound that they worry about being killed if they attack children in a school, or people sitting in church? This heavily armed society is insanity. It is vastly more sane to screen people if they want guns, and limit the risk that mentally unstable people will open fire at your picnic. How fast can you get your gun if you are the first to get hit by a .223? Are you going to have your gun in hand every time you are out in public, just in case? Don't want to be caught off guard do you? It's not like mass shooters annouce where and when they will open fire. Maybe you will be at the grocery store minding your own business and you become face to face with a guy who pulls out a gun and aims it at you. Oh dang. Do you ask him to give you 30 seconds so you can pull your gun and have a fair gunfight?
Look at you deflecting from gun violence. Humans are not perfect beings. Many humans have low emotional intelliegnce and stuggle to manage their emotions. Look at road rage. Look at domestic volence. What I prefer is more mental healthcare access. But as we know the cost of living keeps going up, and insurance companies have cut mental health benefits. This is why medication is being used more, and those who lack resources often end up commiting crimes and end up in prison. This is why libertarians overestimate their ideals, as if all humans will become wise, responsible, and accountable if we eliminate laws. No, that has never worked in any civilization ever in human history. Even many wild west towns banned guns in city limits. Why? Because the good people did not want to be killed by the stupid and undisciplined. It's called law and order for a reason.
Sorry, inflation is global. That's not to say there aren't local issue, like a bad crop affecting prices, but that's why there are futures markets on certain commodities. For example Biden sold a lot of oil that the USA had in reserves back in 2022, and it helped stabilize the price of oil on the gloabl market. He sold it at $97 a barrel. After the price of oil dropped he bought back oil for the reserves at $67 a barrel. That was a profit of over $500 billion for the USA. This illustrates how inflation can be managed at a global level. But corporations these days are global. They sell to all markets at prices they can get and maximize profits.
