Correction...I'm not a Democrat. I'm old-school GOP but not a rhino...we needed to get rid of Trump and one of the most effective ways to do such after a failed impeachment...vote for the other guy in 2020. That other guy was Joe Biden. Yet, had Sanders, Warren, or Bloomberg won the DNC...I would have not voted in 2020. In fact, in 2016...I was sick in the hospital (coma) during the 2016 election. I didn't like H. Clinton and did not like Trump. Thus, I would have sat out that presidential election had I not been in the hospital. Today, as stated recently, I hope there will not be a Trump/Biden repeat and I plan to vote for a Republican independent...Liz Cheney (Wyoming) or Adam Kinzinger (Illinois) if they run as Independents...splitting the votes away from the GOP if Trump, any other election BIG LIE supporter, or anti-vaxxer shows up. More importantly, I have stronger political alignment in Québec, Canada to Parti Québécois...I'm a Québec sovereigntist that believes in Québec nationalism, social democracy, stronger support for the French language and economic nationalism for Québec. More important...I would love for Québec to gain independence from Canada...a realignment with France instead of England. Today, the Parti Québécois is the only party interested in independence from Canada. Yet, I'm not going to hold my breadth for such to happen. wrbtrader
“Half of US states were experiencing record-low unemployment — or very close to it — in June, underscoring the strength of the nation’s labor market,” Bloomberg reports. “The unemployment rates in 25 states are currently at or within 0.1 percentage point of a record low, Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed Friday. New Hampshire and South Dakota had the lowest jobless rates last month, at 1.8%.”
Its not the economy stupid (not calling anyone stupid just updating Bill Clinton's famous line for the present day). An economy wont win in election in 2024 unless real economic changes were made like 15 min wage
