What Swing Voters Care About
April 11, 2024 at 11:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 71 Comments
The Economist: “Swing voters do not view this year’s election as Republicans would like them to: immigration is not the most important issue for them. Neither do they view it as Democrats wish. Their most important issue is not the defense of democracy, climate policy, or abortion. It is inflation, which remains sticky , followed by the economy.”
“Politics is less central to the lives of swing voters than it is to news hounds and committed partisans. They may not know much about Mr Biden’s position on natural gas or North Korea, but they do know that eggs are expensive and driving to work costs too much.”

And those MAGA clowns will 100% pick trump.
So I'll say it AGAIN:
A vote for RFK Jr is a vote for trump.

POTUS: Today's data shows inflation has fallen over 60% from its peak, but we have more to do to lower costs.

Today’s data shows inflation has fallen over 60% from its peak, but we have more to do to lower costs.
My plan would lower the cost of housing by building and renovating 2 million homes, and I’m calling on corporations with record profits to pass their savings to consumers.

Doyle McManus: “To one presidential candidate, the United States is ‘a failing nation’ that’s ‘descending into a cesspool of ruin.’ ‘In many ways, we’re living in hell right now.'”
“To the other candidate, ‘America is coming back. … Our future is brighter.’ ‘The American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told.'”
“You already know which candidate is which…”
“The collision of those starkly conflicting visions is the core of the 2024 presidential election.”

Applegrove:
Typical psychopath: They put their followers in hell, like taking union jobs away, or flood their TV news and radio with crime as Sinclair is doing when crime has gone down, interrupting legislative solutions on important issues like the border deal so they can fan the flames and use it as a political tool in an election, and then get their followers to blame some other for their feelings of unhappiness. And then they get their base practiced in attacks. Note to MAGA: you are unhappy because you have given power to people like Trump and many of those Republicans who came before him. Liberals have done nothing to you. Neither has Biden
