Another product on the Walmart site that spiked in price was a left-handed fishing reel. It rose from $57.37 to $83.26 from April to May, a jump of 45 percent, with a post on Reddit showing the two price stickers. Aisle Gopher’s price history says that the price of the reel was $51.12 on March 14.
Another Reddit post showed an increase in the price of cocoa powder from $3.44 in May 2024 to $6.18 in April 2025.
I’d love to see this same perspective voiced with equal indignation when Joe Biden campaigns with black people and pledges support for BLM, but then doubles down on militarizing the police once elected. (Among other outright lies.)
Absolutely not. If you want people to vote for you, you have to give them something to vote for. Despite knowing the deep unpopularity of Biden’s presidency and campaign, the Democrats crowned a weak candidate (wait no, two weak candidates really) who promised to change nothing about it. If we’re being reasonable here, one has to credit Democrats’ outright stupidity and obstinance in the face of a base demanding real change.
Some day, maybe, they’ll take responsibility for their own actions. Today is not that day.
Much like the Democrats who told poor people that they should, you know, just be joyful about it.
Then again, to take responsibility would require some introspection.
If you don’t understand the concept of harm reduction, that’s your defect, not anybody else’s!
You voted for something much worse. You can try to explain it however you want, the facts are, you collectively over the years made it so your choices are meh and sometimes much much worse, and then voted for the latter.
You of course can blame whoever you want, deep state, establishment, democratic party (never republicans though, for some reason), but that would be the deflection. Up until recently, US had a shitty but semi-functioning democracy, and whatever is happening is a result of your collective chosing.
Joe Biden’s left testicle could be removed from his body, and it would run a better presidential term than trump
And this doesn’t mean Biden is a nice guy or represents something good, it’s just the less terrible option
Joe Biden was a genocide monster. The problem is that the entire Overton window of politicians the system will actually let get elected in America is composed entirely of genocidal monsters
It would be the first leftist in the Oval Office since FDR.
They’re beholden to the same forces of campaigning and capital in a first-past -the-post system. If they wanted change that matters, their financial backers pull out.
So how’s their strategy working out for them?
There are two groups at fault here:
The protest voters refusing to take the simplest action to prevent what is now happening.
The people who said “we’re not going to try to change or improve anything because we’re running against a literal dictator so it’s not like we have to actually try to improve people’s lives. What are they going to do? Let Hitler win?”
For the privileged classes, it’s working out splendidly. For now anyway.
That, as they say, is a choice.
The modern horseshoe of leftists and rightest being okay to burn the country down if it does swing far enough on the political pendulum. This shit right here folks. If I don’t get my way, I’m gonna burn the whole house down. The future is so bright for all of us get to burning it you little pussy.
You say that is if the status quo isn’t actively burning the country down
That dipshit’s not “the left;” he’s a troll. Real leftists held their noses and voted for Democrats.
