  • The USA does have racist and sexist people but I don’t think that was a driving factor in this election. The news certainly favors portraying the opinions of the more outspoken “crazy” people because that gets views. I think a lot of people in the USA are fine with gay and trans rights. The real issue is increasing costs, people care less about minority rights than being able to feed their own family. I do think Harris’s tax and economic plans made more sense and I wanted her to try to make them a reality, but I think a lot of people here viewed these as the promises Biden made and couldn’t follow thru on. Cancelling student debt was a huge thing Biden tried to do but ultimately couldn’t.


  • I don’t think the average citizen of the USA is dumb. People looked at what Biden did for the last few years and that didn’t help them. The Harris campaign would have done better if they had taken more stances that were different from Biden. (I can say this confidently now that I know the results of the election, I wouldn’t have said it a month ago.)

    I also don’t think there has been “retaliatory price gouging” as you say. The cost of production and distribution is always increasing, it’s why there is inflation. I don’t think you can find any actual evidence of price gouging because of Biden.
