the idea that trump would improve the economy and decrease inflation is ludicrous.
Why he did it before
@@edyates7601 Trump never did- Crap for me n my husband. What did he do to improve the lives of the working class ppl? Nothing. ! Biden has lowered the cost of hearing aids and prescription drugs and put a price cap on Insulin for ppl. ! He has forgiven millions of ppl's outstanding student loan debt. Trump would never do any of this.....he's too busy giving even more tax cuts to the rich/his rich friends. 🤮🤢🤮
He did not He cutted taxes on the rich@@edyates7601
@@edyates7601 How did he improve the economy? He lost more jobs at the end of his presidency. Almost every other president in American history leaves office with more jobs in the economy than they entered office with.
@thewhiteknightman are you stupid it was called covid and the democrats would not let him stop flights from China
The caller really summed up the entire state of our country with his question. Priorities. Americans will vote on the immediate issues they see in front of them, like the cost of eggs, and not the long-term possibility of losing our democracy. Like who cares what the cost of eggs are if we lose all our basic civil rights?! It’s so ass backwards.
I've always been someone that looks towards the long term rather than short term goals. It's also funny that most voters think that prices are high now but will go down under Trump when the US is doing the best among most developed countries and Trump will sign another tax cut for the rich.
I agree but I don't see anyone making sure we can afford to live somewhere. It's very depressing knowing I will never have a place to live. I am already in the stages of giving up because at this time, having a place is more important than anything else.
The only right lost with the loss of democracy is the loss of the ability to impact governmental policy decisions if you are not in a position to do so. There is a tendency to lose some other rights, but other rights can be gained also.
The funny thing is eggs aren’t even expensive anymore after those farms were gouging and lying about a bird flu for profit.
“What would it profit a person if they were to gain all the eggs for free but lose the free soul of their nation?” 🥚vs🌎
What bothers me even more is that people believe their past, present or future situation would somehow be better under Trump. 🙄
For many it will be.
Gullible fools believe that , Trump got us into this mess in the first place
No doubt about it, we need to break free from this deep state swamp and trump is the guy to do it.
@@chriswatson7965 Many billionaires. There, finished your sentence.
@@thewhiteknightman That's not a complete list.
Price is controlled by corporate greed not the economy
Exactly 👍🏻
Yeah, because demorat rat tax hikes don't affect prices.
EXACTLY WRONG. YOU STOP ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. YOU PUSH GREEN ENERGY. YOU MAKE THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION MUCH HIGHER. THE COST GETS PASSED DOWN THE FOOD CHAIN. LEADING TO WHERE WE ARE NOW. YES CORPORATE CAN GET GREEDY. THAT'S LIFE.
BIDEN HAS FAILED AS PRESIDENT
To an extent. Trump bankrupted farmers, started a trade war, sold our refinery to the sahdeez, and - among other things - cut global oil production by 20% right as demand skyrocketed.
Substantial oversimplification. I am sure there is some unnecessary jacking up of prices but that is not the major driving factor of inflation.
Id argue 80% of the general public does not even know what is about to happen to their country.
They don't, I live in a very rural area, lots of veterans. None that I have met even know about the PAC act.
They have no idea. They don't see the Fourth Reich coming to America, just like the average German did not see the Third Reich coming in the early 1930s.
You think 20% of the country are oracles? How are you supposed to know the future?
@@emwZEEKit’s something called pattern recognition. We’ve seen certain actions throughout history so much and studied actions and similarities that you can point out harmful rhetoric and other negatives that result in dictatorships
I agree this is why Red states who are biggest recipients of entitlement prograns such as SSID, ACA, WIC and SNAP always vote Republican, the same Republicans who want to cut or eliminate those programs. It makes no sense
I'll eat fewer eggs if it means I get to keep my democracy.
Good thing we're not a Democracy, we're a Republic, Guaranteed by The US Constitution, nowhere does it even mention Democracy, as our Founding Fathers, not to mention Aristotle, Plato & Socrates were PETRIFIED of Democracy aka Mob Rule.
How about eating no eggs, as you faux progressives contribute to history's largest holocaust and animal abuse?
Yes, keep your democracy by destroying our democracy. Biden is treating his political opponent just like Putin treats his, with prosecution.
I just bought a dozen eggs at the Walmart in Washington Illinois for $2.00, and that is pretty cheap to me. And the Kroger store near me also just had a dozen eggs on sale with a digital coupon for $1.49.
Me too
Prices are for the most part are back to a reasonable price where Im at in SC. People are just trying to find a reason to vote for Trump. I wish they would just be honest with themselves. Gas prices as well.
Perhaps you should be honest with yourself. See how you use the preface of "for the most part"...?
@@ricardocabeza6006 once prices go up they don't go back down. The prices haven't moved but they have reduced the amount of product you get. However I am good with it to save democracy from the GQP. Women out number men in this country .....

I'm in Las Vegas Nevada and I really don't pay attention to food prices but I literally have to give up eating if I wanted to find a place to rent. It's so expensive here and it's ridiculous.
@@ricardocabeza6006Look, when we had inflation 40 years ago this is what happened: some of those prices never went down. The public got used to it.
Maybe you won't get used to it but it's reality along with price gouging. In meantime grow up. Thanks.
The very fact that anyone believes the president controls the price of eggs, is really quite bizarre...
What is happening in Gaza is awful and so is the war in Ukraine. But, I think it’s more important to vote against Trump because second Trump term would be much worse for the people. Especially for women and the working class.
Trump would just give Russian and Israel exactly what they want without any thought for whats right and wrong.
Good point , pretty .
There was a whole bird flu outbreak that influenced the price of eggs.
There still is a bird flu epidemic and cows are being effected also.
and obv most people dont know that and or just like to blame everything on Biden cause they hate biden.. the amount of people in this country that lack critical thinking is very bad
Absolutely right. And Biden supports genocide
The people whose votes matter do not care. As long as there is a perception that Republicans bring cheap goods and Democrats raise prices that is never going to change. The solution to this is to get rid of the antiquated misguided idea that deflation is bad. We should recognize that deflation is good for people's perception of the economy and perception has huge effect on people's mental well being. We can stop pushing policies that get rid of normal deflationary pressures on the market.
True, but according to trump and his cultists it's Joe Biden's fault the price of eggs has risen.
Both very sad, when these smaller matters are so important to people, and they're not mature enough to distinguish the crucial voting matters.
Well said David!💙
Food prices are what they are, not what Fox News or other far-right networks say they are. In any event, I think that having a democratic country is far more important than whatever the current prices are of food or other consumer goods.
Funny part about food prices, we don't need a news outlet to tell us what they are because we all experience the increase everyday. I know people that don't vote and don't watch any news, that complain about the prices.
@@ricardocabeza6006 You are sleepwalking then. During Trumps last year, regular eggs were costing around 6 to 7 dollars per 18. Mind you average Salary was way lower than that today. Today, same eggs dont cost higher than 4 dollars. Have no idea how you all keep saying economy was better under Trump. If he gets in, price of eggs will most likely shoot up to 10 to 15 dollars

@@michelled8408still biden. Only dems have a chance at lowering rent because it's actually a part of their platform to do rent caps and build affordable living areas. Do I like the way they would do those things? No. But the Republicans don't even have a single thought or care about how to decrease rent. If you disagree I would love to hear a single policy that Republicans have advocated for that would lower rent. Maybe lower property taxes for landlords? But rent will never go down from something like that, only stagnate. A landlord will never willingly decrease your rent after you move in.
Personally my rent hasn't changed in 5 years so I don't see this rent thing as much of an issue outside of like Miami Beach or other very rich areas.

If people are this worried about fucking egg prices then they should just buy their own damn chickens it’s that fucking simple.
Yup. Everyone should just own and operate a farm so they don't have to worry about increasing food prices. Brilliant plan!
Eggs are not expensive. Get chickens if you can’t pay 3.00 for a dozen.
Yeah except that my landlord wouldn't like that idea
Not expensive to you or I, but what about the single mother who has to make choices about whether she or her kids will eat? Or the guy who is one paycheck away from being homeless?
@@TheBlueThirdthen buy something they can afford to eat, like beans, oatmeal, etc. people don't need pheasant under glass.

Fo4mer chicken owner, nope, chickens in your backyard are not cheap! Walmart sells cheap eggs. You will never raise them for less.
Thats how my mom is. She doesn't vote but because she can't afford rent, utilities, food or gas she would vote against democracy for those things to get easier. A lot of us are like this.

Eggs cost $4 for me, and i live in ny, not bad,
Growing up I would just eat empty bread for breakfast, small meal fo lunch, and would go to bed hungry most days. Last thing in my family's minds was the state of the country, much less the world. We were aware of the repercussions of bad leadership and whatnot, yet hunger was taking more space in our heads.

I think a lot of people on both sides flat out deny that we have democracy. On the right side, they look at democracy as purely a voting and level of citizen participation in government concept. They don't account for civil liberties and human rights. And on the left they think because our democracy is flawed that we just don't have it. We are flawed, we live in a flawed democracy. I know people have their issues with The Economist democracy index but I think it's accurate. If you go by that we went from a full to a flawed democracy in 2016. Probably around the time Russia started interfering in our elections. I think if we can get people educated and prioritizing the health of the country vs cost and health of another country we can get back to a full democracy. In the meantime, civil liberties and human rights are nothing to scoff at
There is 1 problem. The electoral college.
@@stevewilliams3212 oh definitely. We're making some strides with that but it's not enough yet. It won't be enough til we have ranked choice voting. I think if we keep up the pressure we could see that in my lifetime. For context I'm 36 lol
@@AuntieMamies By the index the electoral process is not a significant issue. Out of the categories it is marked the best. Here are the categories (out of 10)
- electoral process - 9.17
- functioning of government - 6.43
- political participation - 8.89
- political culture - 6.25
- civil liberties - 8.53
The electoral college is the biggest red herring ever and has no real impact on the political health of the US. The problem with the US is the fundamental lack of understanding of what a democracy is, how it works, and the point to elected officials and what roles they play. And way too much emphasis on the position of president combined with a lack of understanding of the skills and properties needed by a candidate by the public together with the direct voting of that executive position. The emphasis on the electoral college is in itself a sign of the problems the US public has with understanding and supporting a democracy.
@@chriswatson7965 I think the electoral college is a big factor in the health of US politics. It's how we ended up with Trump. Whether one supports him or not there is no denying that the already dying breaths of political health in this country was entirely exacerbated by that man. When the majority of people don't have their voices heard in an election that is inherently unhealthy. The electoral college is a way to drown out the majority
@@AuntieMamies There are a huge number of factors that contributed to Trump's election and it is erroneous thinking to focus on the electoral college. Firstly Trump should not even be in a position to have been a potential candidate. That is a huge failing of the system. Secondly the difference in the popular vote between Clinton and Trump was insignificantly small. On the basis of the popularity either should have been an equally good candidate and a toss of a coin would have been an equally satisfactory method of choosing between them. Thirdly the electoral college vote has only been different to the popular vote on 3 occasions, and on all of those occasions the difference in the popular vote was insignificant. When I say insignificant what I mean is that if you went into a room full of people representative of the voting population there is no way that you could determine the outcome of the election without actually counting up who would vote for what. If I were to concede that the Trump presidency was objectively worse for the US than a Clinton presidency (which I don't, I think that is purely subjective) it is essentially a statistical fluke that the electoral college could be "blamed", and it is only being "blamed" by the side of politics that lost. Fourthly direct voting for an executive position is a highly flawed concept. That is why the electoral college was there in the first place, though it quickly deteriorated into a de facto direct vote because of the lack of education of the voting public. Fifthly there is no compulsory voting in the US so the outcomes are not representative of the community's desires in any case.
I will most strongly point out the most dangerous myth that many have about a democracy. They believe that it is a system where the majority have the stronger sway. This is underlined by your comment "When the majority of people don't have their voices heard in an election that is inherently unhealthy." A healthy democracy listens to every individual whether in the minority or in the majority. Voting is used, not as a first case, but as a last case when every other potential aspect of compromise has been reached. It also has the effect of having politicians focus on the needs of the community. That the politician that has been voted in has missed the plurality by a couple of percentage points is irrelevant to the healthy functioning of a democracy. If you want a democracy to work you need to start looking at the real things needed to make it work rather than look wins for your political party.
To paraphrase Trae Crowder, “Has inflation got you down? Try fascism!”
Prices have always risen over time in my lifetime.
Vote Blue if you still want to have eggs to buy.
Seeing rising prices that affect their quality of life and trigger anxieties is a real tangible thing that affect their lives.
"Threat to Democracy" is ethereal and theoretical with no apparent immediate tangible affect of their lives. Human nature.
I understand what you're saying, but the threat is very real. I would add that studies have shown that people overstate more immediate threats like violent crime and demand more draconian laws to combat it (yet violent crime has declined significantly year over year) but are bad at recognizing longer term threats (climate change, health issues related to poor diet and sedentary lifestyle). Likewise, the assault on democracy didn't just happen overnight or when Trump took office; the right WI g groups have been working on dismantling democracy since the 1980's.
@@728huey
I didn't say the threat to democracy is real. It is VERY real; but due to human nature it is not perceived as much by the general public because it is not obvious in their faces like the price of gas, the price of housing, or the price of eggs. The people not generally feeling that the economy is quite good despite the very good by the numbers statistics is an example. Another is abortion issue. You see a lot more concern over the specific threat to Choice than to democracy because it affects them much more directly than any Donald Trump Revenge Plans if he is re-elected.
They are going about their daily lives paying attention to the news only casually unlike us political junkies.
@@728huey
I never said that the threat to democracy isn't real. It is VERY real. I am saying that due to human nature, the price of gas, the price of housing and the price of eggs is a more obvious immediate concern because they see inflation happening right before their eyes and in their wallets than any "vague" threat to Democracy. Abortion is another example. The people see the danger to Choice as a far more real threat because it effect them and their loved ones. They see it happening now and so it is a much bigger campaign issue than a theoretical danger of a Donald Trump Revenge Tour if he is re-elected. Even student loan forgiveness is probably more of a concern than an unspecified threat regarding Donald Trump. That is just the way it is for people in general even if us political junkies feel differently.
I’d rather pay high food or gas prices than have women’s healthcare rights stripped away.

Not just price of eggs.
People in comments taking eggs too seriously. The caller means groceries in general. Your average Joe living pay check to pay check is tempted when they're told trumps economy had cheaper groceries n gas.

Well.i get it the voters have to think about loosing your price of freedom will.cost you allot more then the price of eggs Democrats need to get people to understand that
Eggs are $4-$5 a dozen barn laid in Australia and $6-$7 a dozen free range in Australia. Our fruit barn charges $13 for 20 cage eggs. Bread is $3.50 for a loaf. Milk is $1.20 a litre. Then again our basic wage is $23.23 an hour or $882.80 a week.

What i have been asking all along. And who is stupid enough to think economies do well in autocracies? People should oick up a history book and read
I think that you need to look up history books. Economies tend to do better under autocracies. The confounding factor is that countries with better economies tend towards democracy.
I agree that in the US the depth and accuracy of understanding of what a democracy is and its usefulness is extremely poor and should be remedied. However even with full knowledge, and perhaps for some because of knowledge, there is a distinct movement in the US towards the abandonment of democracy. Democracy is now seen as undermining the way of life for many in the US and they wish to maintain that way of life at almost any cost.
I'll also add that you stated "if we don't even uphold the basic pillars of democracy on which this country was based" - the US doesn't already now, starting with the de facto direct election of the president, rather than indirect election which was what was intended.
Who controls fossil fuels controls inflation
A dozen eggs cost $0.05 in 1950. Why do things change?!
Inflation, if low and steady, is good. It keep people buying goods and services and keeps our country's production of food and other products at an even pace.
I could you what I think it says about the average voter but my comment would get immediately deleted.
I paid 3.00 for 18..I live on Long Island it’s rip off central here

I am 1000% voting for the price of eggs the price of gas the price of electricity, lower inflation and closed borders over democracy. Ive lived through trump before and all those things were lower and democracy was just fine.
Democracy survived (barely) only because Trump failed to complete his attempted coup. We had a VP who stood up for the Constitution instead of for Trump. The next time around there will be no guard rails, and Trump will be surrounded by hard-core loyalists. Anyway, I doubt that you really care much about Democracy anyway. Question... would you rather scrap our Constitution (as Trump has suggested) and live in a Dictatorship with low/no inflation, or would you rather live in a Democracy with fluctuating inflation?
@@ctpaul1261Democracy was just fine before Trump and after Trump and will be again after a 2nd term of Trump for 4 years and will be fine for the presidents after him so I'm not buying into that media manufactured propaganda. What isn't fine is how the current administration continues to spend money with inflation through the roof and illegals coming across the border by the thousands. So my vote is going to go to whoever stops funding these 2 wars that have nothing to do with us and shuts down the border. Don't forget we live in a republic not a democracy and thats why it clearly states in the pledge of allegiance "i pledge allegiance to the flag, of United States of america, and to the republic for which its stands". So in short I and millions of others are more concerned about everyday costs and the protection of our country, and since the day biden stepped into office its been complete catastrophe like I've never seen in my 46 years on this earth.
Drumpfs border was the same as Bidens border. The price of gas in 2019 was almost 4 dollars a gallon and only went down because of the pandemic. Democracy wasn't fine back then and we had drumpf terrorists in our country. We still have the drumpf terrorists, we can't have drumpf in there as well.

Probably not.
In practice no it isn't, despite many thinking that it is. Democracy is about weighing up the needs and desires of every citizen in the country, making policies to match that, and providing the framework in which that happens. In practice no situation could ever arise where the balanced needs of every member of the community resulted in the requirement for the elimination for one part of that community.
Ah yes because trump will definitely not scale things up to 11.

Wages have gone up faster than prices have. I wonder why it's so easy for voters to ignore that.
Hey 2a24396, , check out the aveerage wages , do some research , then tell me , with proof, that wages have exceeded inflation . By the way wtf do you dofor a living .
Not everywhere. My husband has worked at Walmart almost 18 years n he makes 16.65 an hour. !!
@@lopresti4559 Not sure what current wages prove. It's a comparison between cost of living and wages, not just wages.
Simple. Most people don't believe that democracy will end. It's easy to vote for cheaper groceries over fear mongering.
And many people want democracy to end.
@chriswatson7965 Nobody serious wants democracy to end. Trump won't end democracy. Nobody is ending democracy. Even if Trump wanted to our other branches exist for a reason.
@@kylewilson9260 There are plenty. I've talked to them on the internet. Usually their belief is that democracy is the rule of the majority, and they are usual of strong Christian background. Often they will deny that the US is supposed to be or is a democracy, but that it is a republic. They believe as a potential minority that their way of life as Christians is under threat and that it needs to be protected as inferred in the US constitution.
Trump wants to end democracy. He certainly does not believe in it. If he gets the required support from enough competent people it will become a reality after the next election.
The other branches will only resist the removal of democracy if the people in those branches want to. The Supreme Court has at least 2 corrupt judges willing to do Trump's bidding, possibly three. Congress is divided and ineffective and would not remove Trump, so Trump has 4 years to put everything needed in place in terms of rigging elections, arresting the appropriate people, nominating judges, manipulating and threatening the media, and filling the ranks of the executive branch with devotees. There is an organised plan by many on the right to do just that.
Many people don't read history nor do they see the big picture.
David Pakman has a reasonable proposal.... Voters could eat democracy if it came down to it.
How is Trump's proposed 10% tariff on all goods and 100% tariff on some Chinese goods going to help the cost of living? It will greatly increase it, as will the global instability and increased war due to Trump's 'surrender first' policy when it comes to standing up for the US's allies and against the authoritarians.
The US under Biden has been among the best in the world in terms of getting inflation down and lower inflation means that prices still go up but more slowly not that prices go back down, that's deflation and there are very good reasons to avoid that such as the deflationary spiral. Join a union so you can demand higher wages.
I thought you said the economy was good and inflation was down? Why are we having this conversation? Are you admitting that bidenomics suck?
Inflation being down means that the prices are rising at a slower rate, it does not mean that the prices have returned to the previous amounts.
@@chriswatson7965 he sure doesn’t say that when he’s talking about it. ever.
@@3rdjrh I must admit this channel suffers in quality significantly in presidential election years. It becomes a bit of a mouth piece for the Democrats and loses some objective criticism.
you, sir have obviously never had to worry about the price of eggs!
Most people have had to worry about the price of eggs. But some people realize that there are things that are more important and that it is basically unheard of for an authoritarian leader to not completely plunder an economy. Trump has no interest in lowering prices. He didn't lower them before. We just didn't have a pandemic for businesses to take advantage of
We don't live in a democracy.
What? Have you lost your right to vote?
Its an Oligarchy
@@louislafontaine5984 the term "democracy" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution
No one can get ahead with these prices. We can't worry about democracy until we can stop worrying about putting food on the table. Maslow's hierarchy
Because higher prices of everyday living are fact, meanwhile taking away your freedom is just an appealing lie to hook people.
America First....yes that price of eggs is important
How is this even a question? It comes down to basic hierarchy of needs. If humans are in a situation where they can’t afford the most basic needs of food, water, shelter, they are in 1000% in the right to vote solely based on that issue. Even if we do choose to define the continuation of democracy as what is being ignored according to this persons take. Honestly a pretty hyperbolic statement of what is the option they are voting for in Trump.
(Don’t get me wrong trump has attempted to walk over democracy at several steps, but fortunately we have pretty strong safeguards on our system. Which we saw demonstrated during his attempted reelection campaign, and used the power of his office in obvious attempts to subvert democracy. But mostly important was pretty easily thwarted at each and every step.
@boshamburger123 The president doesn't have much direct control over prices, but they can affect the policies that influence the prices. Congress has more control over prices. ¶Do you remember the food shortages during the pandemic, the long lines of cars trying to obtain food? Do you remember Ivanka going to Texas to help, and being outed bcs she was carrying empty boxes? 😂
@@lorrainehirsch you’re absolutely right! But yeah I am aware of how little control especially over direct product pricing a president has. When really 99% of instances are just market factors.
I am just responding the initial argument/disblief over voting based on this issue (even if incorrectly imo) vs voting for “the continuation of democracy”
Just to be in anyways shocked by voting in this manner has to come from a place of EXTREME privilege.
You all do not understand basic economics.
Lol. No kid that’s you. lol.
Lol. False. lol
Lol. No kid that’s you republican sheep. lol. Remember kid if you knew literally anything about the economy you’d be a liberal. Lol.
That's because its everything not just eggs silly boy.
Not Biden's fault for any of it, if anything it is tRUMPS. Troll and TRAITOR!
