However, I think liberals miss the difficultly of the decision for many. The dem ticket is extremely liberal - socially liberal and fiscally liberal (ie Harris’s recent big gov idea to control food prices displayed a complete lack of understanding of how market dynamics work - scared the heck out of evonomists). Also shes been a disaster of the border. Net, net for many she is a policy and ideological disaster. So for many moderates and conservative never trumper’s - it’s a much tougher call than liberals might realize. Sorry, I didn’t give Lefty a pass on this and you don’t get one either. I understand the hold-your-nose vote for Trump in 2016, after that it’s just stupid. As far as the price control ideas go, I agree it’s not workable, we only need to look back to Nixon and Ford’s efforts along that line….but really I never expect that to see the light of day. As to “the border”…kindly STFU after Trump tanked the border bill. If those points are how you or someone you know justifies voting for Trump, you need to take a really hard look at yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the … tips. The EO biden just did could have been done over 3 years ago. No interest from him or Harris. I appreciate your passion about trump being a “pos”. I agree. But the Harris option exists only because of right place, right time. IMO she’s a low talent and policy train wreck. btw I didn’t say I was voting for Trump. Cool your jets.

To me this was her first significant misstep. It's an easy attack for Republicans because pretty much every economist disagrees. It doesn't even apply to most situations we've faced the past few years, and I doubt it plays all that well even with most of the hard left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the housing situation there would need to be some coordination between people eligible for subsidies and current supply. If not demand alone would increase housing cost.
