That’s all nice and dandy, but do the people who vote for him get to make some extra money for themselves or do they just get cheaper eggs?

No, cheaper eggs is what Harris wants! That is extreme Marxism!

More expensive eggs (and nearly every good or service) is what they’ll get, through massive tariffs on everything, and they’ll kiss his feet for it! That’s the pure free market capitalist way!

Probably neither.

Interesting stats.

Early voting is up and registered dems are 10 points up on registered Republicans. However in 2020 they finished 44 to 30 so 14 up.

Still a lot of time before the election — and I’d bet more registered Republicans are voting for the opposition this time.

In your opinion.

Just like yours was that his post was too simplistic. It’s a rather circular argument.

American people have an admirable faith in democracy and all kinds of good quality.
If you look from my position, if you are a Chinese you can find some obvious "bug" which means your country may not be as democracy as you thought it to be.
But it's hard to make anyone who are proud of the democracy to believe it, because all these things can be called conspiracy. "Deep state" is a conspiracy concept no matter how many times Elon Musk or Jeffrey Sachs talks about it. No proof.
I think Trump will be in control. He knows the consequences.
I don't know. I'd prefer to give people here some information. And I never insist that my post about America must be correct. I am just honestly telling people our thoughts and feelings. I don't insist that these are all right, because we are not Americans.
Don't take it too serious.

You’re giving your thoughts, not those of all Chinese and certainly not those of Chinese expats that are very much against your authoritarian dictatorship and I know a great many as there’s a thriving Chinese community where I live. But I understand why you tow the party line, wouldn’t want to ruin your social credit.

Social credit?
Wow...

Guilty as charged. These things are so complicated, arent they?

Is this an expat community you are talking about or an immigrant community? We have both in large numbers where I live and opinions, at least those expressed, differ enormously for obvious reasons.

Less interestingly, it's "toeing the line". In my opinion.
