Why is "freedom fuel" even necessary in the first place?

I still don't know anyone that voted for Trump that wishes Harris had won.

I know countless leftists online that have been claiming that Trump is hemorrhaging support, but we all know how the left lies.

It's just a private company's marketing device.

"The network is operated by a retailer that rebranded its locations to align with Trump’s call for lower energy costs.

A spokesperson said the company is not affiliated with the administration and is not receiving federal subsidies, the report said. Instead, the stations are reportedly cutting prices by accepting smaller profit margins."

Of course, lying leftists (redundant) want to pretend is state owned, so they can regurgitate idiocy.

The US sure needs some effective third parties. Both Repubs and Dems aren't different enough the make a difference. Not a statesman between them.

My experience in Canada. We had one effective third party, the New Democrats vs the Liberals and the Progressive Conservatives (whew!). They've moved far to the middle to protect their voters. Homogenised, The Greens are pretty electable but not enough so as to form a coalition govt. The other third parties are province-based, like Bloc Quebecois. Canada needs a new electable third party.

And once again, you are living in your delusion.

Third paries split votes and create dysfunction. That's what Ross Perrot did in the USA. Multiple parties create nightmares of political backroom dealing as seen in Italy and Israel. The absence of third parties is addressed by preliminary votes, runoff elections and open nominations.

Your experience in Canada is irrelevant, because it is out of date much like your political agenda. There is no such thing as a Progressive Conservative party at the federal level. It has been the Conservative party for 23+ years. The NDP party was decimated last election because it went the route of Starmer and Kinnock. They were good at spending other people's money. At its peak of influence, all it could do was split votes and deny one of the other parties a majority. Now, it can barely get past 6% of voter support. It will do even worse in the future because it has been taken over by extremist socialists who are pushing policies voters do not want.

The Greens are not electable and have no national support. . One riding has a Green MP. She is useless. The Bloc, is much like the SNP or the Irish national parties. It is a cross section of conservative rural people and leftist urban dwellers. Despite being proponents of provincial independence the Bloc is responsible for pushing through Canada's improved border security and more aggressive domestic procurement programs.

Yep, the midterms, if they go ahead, will be a shoo-in for the GOP based on the 600% reduction in drug prices alone!

Brits know that the Don is a bit of a prick but anyone who puts the safety of his country first will do for me.

Wish we and other European countries had a man like that in power rather than the beta males who profess to lead.

I see the new socialist government of New York cares so much about affordability that they just voted themselves an 18% raise, how funny is that?

So many odd assumptions but, just to be clear, the UK and Switzerland are in Europe.

Just to get your facts straight, it is not the point if these nations are in the european continent or not. UK and Switzerland are not part of the disastrous European Union of Bruxelles. Get it ?

You said Europe, the EU is something quite different.

That must mean their profit margins were gouging consumers to start with.

You're right. The public are suckers. They'd best have saved their receipts. Drug prices reduced! What nonsense!

I would agree with you in the case of Israel which has 50+ parties. But a few electable third-parties with platforms which actually differ significantly from the biggies--universal healthcare, for example--would be of great benefit to Americans. Repubs and Dems just don't differ on important issues like military spending.

Of course, I used Progressive Conservative as a joke, Son. Always thought it was kind of schizophrenic!

The biggest advantage to the Canadian sustem is to restrict campaign spending to <100k?> and forcing an election within 4 (?) months. In the US, the campaigns start as soon as the last guy in elected and the PACs starting putting up the money--usually for both sides.

I'm not sure what Canada does regarding lobbyists. I certainly don't think the system can possible be as skewed as the US bought and paid for.

Don't waffle now. If you think Zohran's 18% is the big steal, better check the pockets at Trump House.

Some socialist / nationalist policies, with the key word being some.

Do you not know the difference?

To claim there is any policy that hurts zero people, is just to lie.

In other words, you can't name one.

You increase oil prices, you loose support. Rather foolish to think that global oil price crisis would not affect the domestic American market.

Oil is lower today than it was when Trump took office.
