First off, I am a farm kid and continue to work with the Ag sector on policy. Your response (bolded) shows that you don't actually understand the complicated issue and are defaulting to what sounds simple :)

Both parties are to blame for our immigration policies. Farmers raise the workforce issues all the time especially H2-A visa program but republicans often block efforts. Even the "deporter in chief" did not attempt to remove over 12 million people. It will have a substantial impact on our economy if Trump is successful, which he won't be because of sanctuary states. Thinking through unintended consequences is important and our Ag sector already faces small margins, any increase in labor cost kills them.

I agree Kamala "price gouging" on groceries was an attempt at political messaging, trying to make something more complicated simple. I am not going to defend that. "Greedflation" does exist but groceries were the wrong target.  

Immigration is just one example. Tariffs are more complicated than just "another country pays". Ukraine war and why we should continue to aid them is more complicated than "why are we paying for someone else's war" messaging from the Republicans. Why inflation happened is more complicated than Republicans just blaming Biden because it happened during his term. All these things need to be explained but Trump and the Republicans used them effectively in their messensing because it's simple. 

A lot of qualities that people tend to find appealing in leaders, are not good qualities for leaders.

I don't want "strong men". I want smart people, I want empathetic people.

The RNC and the conservative media has done a substantially better job at lying to the country. 

These things are lies, because they're inconvenient truths. People would rather believe a lie, than believe they were bamboozled. 

Pretty short list of sanctuary States from what I can find. Very few in the central portion of the USA where most of the farming is besides maybe Cali.

How are all those illegals going to get to the farms to work? Even sanctuary cities within the non sanctuary States are too far from most farms.

What good is having those illegals in those sanctuary States or cities if they're not working on the farms, which is supposedly why they're there?

Ukraine isn't that complicated and wasn't from the start. You (USA) either make a deal with Russia or you potentially start WWIII with Russia. One or the other. This is Russia we're talking about. If they want Ukraine, they'll eventually take it unless you get serious and put boots on the ground. Otherwise you make a deal, and a deal is exactly what Trumps going to do because it's all you can do without burning trillions over a decade of war there, only for Russia to slowly take all of Ukraine anyway. Biden and Harris should've made a deal but didn't bother.

People need to wake up. Russia isn't some third world shithole, and neither is China. Treating them like that, will only lead to China becoming the new world super power sooner than later, and Russia would be right there supporting them. The only way the USA staves off losing their number 1 spot over the next decade is if they outperform economically, and that's looking 50/50 right about now.

Simple messaging has little to do with it. People knew the economy clearly wasn't doing well and yet they were constantly told it was great by the Dems and media. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on there. Those people remember being told all the 'negatives' about Trump in 2016 and how America was over if he won, and how things actually turned out, like the economy back then, so why assume all the 'negatives' said about him this time would be correct?

Illegal immigrants also do construction jobs, and other kinds of jobs.

What deal do you think Russia would want more than Ukraine?
Just because someone promises a deal, doesn't mean one exists that would sway Russia. 

Russia isn't a first world superpower either. 

By most of the measures that people talk about, the economy is doing well.

The problem isn't that the economy was a lie. The problem is that the measures that we use for the economy are aggregates. It doesn't mean anything if America is wealthier than ever, if all of that wealth went to 5 people. Low unemployment rate doesn't mean anything if people need to have 3 jobs to survive. 

A lot of the negatives of Trump were right. People have short memories, and in a lot of cases they're in denial. It wasn't that bad, Trump was just trolling, he's just joking. The media was lying when they wrote about Trump suggesting windmills cause cancer, or that we should nuke a hurricane. All of the negatives are a lie or exaggeration. All the positive things are truth.

Yes because when there's a screaming maniac in full sprint with a bomb strapped to his chest coming straight at you, you want the empathetic soldiers to make the call.

So the majority of the country has been lied to... by republicans?  Not the team that 80% of national news casts, hollywood and talk shows favor; not the the team that said Joe Biden was "sharp as a tack" for 4 years; not the team that said the election would be close... nah, it's those damn republicans, who've only pointed out things that the left call "conspiracy theories", only for them to turn out to be true later.  

"Illegal immigrants also do construction jobs, and other kinds of jobs."

Correct, they do other jobs like fentanyl dealing, smuggling, etc.

"What deal do you think Russia would want more than Ukraine?
Just because someone promises a deal, doesn't mean one exists that would sway Russia."

If you don't think Putin would go after Moldova next after getting Ukraine, then I'm sorry if you can't see the light.

"Russia isn't a first world superpower either."

Correct, again, however the Soviet Union used to be, and Putin desires that his Russia would go back to its glory days.

- There is no deal Dems would make. 'Brown Bear Man' is almost as bad as 'Orange Man', which means block or ignore them at all costs. AT ALL COST$.

- Thanks for adding this, because now we can ignore Russia again.... WTF.... LOL.

- Excuses. The economy is great only means something to the voter if they're benefitting, so they'd have to be truly dense or purposely lying to say that.

Pi-guy: "If you ignore that Fox News is the biggest national news cast. If you ignore right wing radio, and right wing internet media."

Sure Fox is #1. But are they bigger than the combined strength of NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, Facebook, etc.???
