    A. What the heck are you talking about "Food deserts is the kind of thing that turns off average voters"??

    I didn't know candidates running for office were running on "Food Deserts". I know Biden likes Ice Cream but universal ice cream for everyone is not part of his Build Back Better Agenda. I'm talking about Bill Maher who is a pompous douche. He's sort of the exact profile of someone that qualifies as "Elite Hollywood Leftist." He checks pretty much every box.

    B. Get some chicken from the grocery store today. Look at the back of the package. Is there a label on it that states the caloric intake, etc? Then that chicken is processed. Anything at the store that has that label on it has been processed. If you eat from a restaurant pretty much everything they serve will be processed and then have a mountain of salt and fat added to it that they do not tell you about. Even Dasani Water has salt added to it that most people don't know about. Bill's hot takes on food are misguided at best. At worst he's just a giant pompous A$$hole.

    under GOP POTUS Trump

    it was supposed to be infrastructure week, every week. by the time he was fired by the American voter, nothing was done, not even the border wall that he had assured Americans that Mexico was goin to pay for it.
    Under Dem POTUS Biden

    in his first year, the largest infrastructure bill ever was passed, w ~ 12 GOP lawmakers crossing the isle to vote w the Dems

    Watch those videos, read the stories. Do not deflect. Attitude like this is why you Dems will lose and lose big in 2022 and 2024.

    Biden on the new COVID variant

    "it is a cause for concern, not a cause for panic," as federal health officials brace for the first cases of the new variant to be detected in the US.

    "Sooner or later we're going to see cases of this new variant here in the United States. We'll have to face this new threat just as we face those who have come before it,"​

    contrast that w the Orange Hair, when the new Covid was just making its way to the new

    "it is a hoax"​

    Dems are gonna get destroyed in 2022 and 2024 and I love it. And not even a new COVID variant and mail in balloting is gonna save them. They’ve lost the plot

    You might be right or you might be as wrong as you were in 2020.

    Look Dude. These days, I prefer status quo. But I fear some of these far right wing politicians getting into office. The democrats are doing a terrible optics job. Stop telling us everything is fine. We are tired of Covid. Its time to move on. But thats not going to happen, so the Republicans will get in office and stop many of these subsidies to the poor. And the economy will come to a screeching halt.

    Covid-19 shouldn't be a political issue except to out those that didn't do enough.

    It will be moved on from when we have it under control. The main thing that is keeping it from being under control is a significant percentage that are against vaccinations.

    Nobody should move on from it for political reasons. Only because we have a handle on control.

    Republicans may definitely do well. But that is based on manufactured anger more than actual issues, but elections seldom really come down to the issues anyway.

    Mail in balloting is democracy not a ploy. It only favors those that use it to vote. If Republicans used it to vote, it would help them in equal representation to the way it helps Democrats who vote.

    Mail-in balloting only helps those that cast a legal vote just like in-person voting only helps those that cast a legal vote.

    You are correct about the VA results.

    Thomas “Tas” Alexander Starks, 31, of Lisbon, N.D., faced a strikingly different approach by the Justice Department. The self-avowed Antifa member took an axe to the office of Sen. John Hoeven’s in Fargo on Dec. 21, 2020. Federal sentencing guidelines suggested 10–16 months in prison but he was only sentenced to probation and fined $2,784 for restitution . . . he then reportedly mocked the FBI for returning his axe. Others declared him a hero and Democratic politicians pitched in for his legal defense.
