Because you now did it to yourself.
The question was if they blamed Biden. Nothing to do with Harris, but since you mention it, yeah that is really troubling for Harris supporters.
I agree Americans dont pay much attention. They also are bizarrely confused about who to blame. The president doesn’t set prices, companies do. There was a period of inflation put into place from Trumps tax policy in 2017 expiring to recovery acts during Covid. Prices went up. Why would a business lower them now? They are no longer going up at 7%, but the prices were coming back down.
So “Why are my kellog flakes $7 dollars when the store brand is $3”? Because people will pay for it?

and thats why biden’s admin is at historically low approval. like you he was unwilling to take the steps he needed to take to stop the gouging. its why he was ousted and harris lost.
not because of their policies that were ineffective. but because they wouldn’t fight. they wouldn’t fight for workers, they wouldn’t fight for arabs.
Except he did do something. Like we discussed previously. But nobody cares. If he had done price fixing they would have complained about that. But nobody wants to talk about how Trump put this all into motion in 2017 by signing the the tax bill.
And exactly what SHOULD be done if a company wants to charge $7 for their cereal? Perhaps if you didn’t want it to be $7 you wouldn’t buy it. But here we are, blame someone else for their lack of self control. Harris would have given money to a small business that wanted to make quality cereal at an affordable price to get it off the ground. But they wouldn’t go for that either.
Their is no solution to stupid. That is why she lost.
In the end the prices of food today are NOTHING compared to what they will be. We have droughts in all states but 2 right now. Tarrifs are going to limit imports so we are going to rely on local farms that are going to start really seeing the effects of climate change, that are only going to be made worse by poor environmental policy and increased carbon emissions. The stupid have spoken. They want to be told things will be fixed: when the only thing that will be fixed is an acceleration of money up. Like always. Kamala may not have fixed that, but at least she wasn’t going to put it on the fast track.
there was a solution. biden just wasnt willing to do it and neither are you. you’re not even willing to discuss breaking up monopolies, applying huge windfall taxes on over priced goods, mobilizing the government agencies in creative ways to address the problem. and kellogs is a monopoly.
now please get back on track. this conversation bores me. I certainly stopped buying the $7 dollar cereal age ago. I was simply demonstrating the price gouging still going on. Your lack of creativity in addressing bad actors isn’t my problem nor does it resolve the issue with democratic party being an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to campaigning.
Your like an abused significant other clinging to your partner. ‘they arent always this way!’ sometimes you just need to let them go. which is essentially what happened to the democrats this election.
