No cuts to social security and medicare was part of what trump was running on, and something the dems didnt promise. So whatever ends up happening is what it is, its likely you are wrong yet again

Social Security and Medicare are the cans that both parties kick down the road. Neither party has the guts to fix them.

I don't really know why she lost. Honestly, I thought the abortion issue would win it for her. But there were a lot of other things that crippled her towards the end, I guess. It may have been the squirrel.

I think the abortion issue might have hurt her. 

 

Mort people, women in particular, knew that abortion remained available for everyone that wanted one, most everywhere, two years after roe. 

 

An abortion clinic at the Democrat Convention?

 

I think the left’s obsession with abortion likely hurt their whole cause. A large majority of people support early term abortion. That drops off pretty quickly in the second trimester, and is tiny by the third. 

 

But I do not believe many women think of it as something like squeezing a pimple. I know one woman that supports abortion, that had a few abortions in the ‘80s, and says it’s still something she regrets.

Why do you think that is?

Democrats lost when they pick the worst performers at the 2020 primaries added to that the censorship and dictatorial mandates during the scamdemic. 
Nobody ever got +80 millions votes at the presidential elections. Democrats cheated during the primaries and the 2020 elections. It will never recover unless tit starts from scratch.
I just hope to see in the next 4 years the end of NATO, WEF, WHO and UN. Next will be the EU and its autocratic administration.

Ridiculous B.S. conspiracy theory! 🤣

What was your forum name before?

IMO, she lost because the voting citizens in my home country, the USA, were dissatisfied with their economic conditions and voted for Trump, hoping he would turn those around. He won't, and in fact, I'm sure things will become much worse over the next four years. I predict the USA will descend into complete chaos because of his upcoming actions.

How exactly did you come up with this conclusion? Or did Joy reed and morning joe feed you this silliness?

I came to that conclusion because of what Trump has said he'll do. Of course, he might not actually do all of them—he lies a lot. But if he is able to do most of them, chaos will surely follow—and I don't mean chaos caused by rioting Democrats. I mean economic and general social chaos.
