What are the most important issues in the 2024 election?

[bluedragon]

It seems that they are trying to make allowing abortion and 'climate change' and open borders the most important issue on all the news reports, but research points to the inflation and soaring housing costs directly hurting people and the economy. We have other things which they are trying to ignore or keep quiet such as the unrest at the colleges, crime and killings spreading to even rural America, and the social breakdown and unraveling in the cities and especially in what was claimed to be progressive in California and other states now seeing the results.

It seems like ideology cannot be pushed above the truth that is plain to the voters. What is truly more important, needing to cover up the lack of moral restraint and destructive results, or taking care of and feeding your family, seems like a easy answer...

He got embarrassed yesterday in Florida, trying to pitch abortion.

Tesla says "Good luck with overpriced cars no one wants. They laid off another percentage of their workforce.

Still think John Kerry should be grounded

I love your U-Haul evidence. Of course California masks the population exodus through a kind of replacement theology-- where citizens move away to Florida, Texas, Utah, Idaho.... pick almost any RED State-- and are replaced with illegal immigrants who become residents of California. Look! The numbers don't lie! California is barely shrinking at all! The drop is less than 0.3% per year!

1. Election Integrity
2. Border Security
3. Draining the DC sewer. Fire the Administrative State or Deep State.
4. End "Foreign Aid" which is the new phrase for money laundering.
5. Term limits
6. Debt

Normally, debt is #1 for me, which is the tip of the financial or economic spear. I may have lived to see my last valid election. Without that, elections become meaningless, a facade, a farce.

Decades ago, a friend suggested we go to a parlimentary system instead of the winner take all system we have, which drives polarization. We could have some % of:

• far left
• left
• moderate
• right
• far right

Now, we have the uniparty. Mike Johnson choosing Ukraine over the US was disappointing, to say the least.

If we can't fix the elections, we can't keep the Republic.

I love this quote from Abraham Lincoln-- in fact I have it on a wall hanging....

We the People are the rightful Masters of both the Congress and the Courts.
Not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

Don't forget fixing our military. Get rid of the high ranking officers who are all about politics and replace them with officers who know how to lead men to fight and win battles.

Amen and a man....

I saw a meme that our new rainbow weapon is to call the enemies by the wrong pronoun until they surrender.

 

[Grailhunter]

Well, I wouldn't go that far. I would just say politics is a dirty business, and leave it at that..

Politics are dirty so I will give you that and I can complain about the republican performance. But the democrat platform and initiatives are overwhelming evil and consistently across the board and inline with the desires of Satan. So it is not just about how politics works......it is about the evil that democrats want and stand for.

And some Christians may not consider killing 600,000 babies a year….year after year as evil and supporting that and voting for that as evil. Sometime the huge numbers are too over whelming for some people’s minds to comprehend. And supporting evil….that may not be something that some Christians think as evil depending on their morality, if they get someone else to do it, it don't count as a sin on them. They keep the abortion process hidden….Most Christians are not going to hear the screams of the babies as they are being murdered. They are not going to know the anguish the mother as she contends with murdering her own baby for the rest of her life. And damnation she will receive on Judgment Day.

Some may think supporting child molestation is not evil as long as they are not physically doing it. Watching child porn is OK. Same thing for supporting homosexuality. And the thing about teaching our kids in school to be homosexual and to accept homosexually as a norm is very bad.

And then you have the support of drugs and legalizing drugs…..all this may end up damning them on Judgment Day but the support of drugs can come home to roast….drugs destroy lives and families.

The political side….some Christians might think that communism is good….probably because they have not lived in a communist country. So some of that like the invasion of illegal aliens and the general anti-Christian initiatives of the democrats might be considered a matter of option.

But one thing for sure and certain….just saying politics are dirty is not enough.

Well, they are basically looking for new voters and think they can pass laws instituting them after a short period, and you see them trying to buy student votes with the loans no longer being required to be paid back and we know about the gay stance...

The tax payer gets strapped with paying the tuition.

Billions here,billions there. The power to print money.

Billions here,billions there. The power to print money.

Used to be.

Now, trillions here. Trillions there. We didn't get $36T in debt by only spending $.001T. https://www.usdebtclock.org/

With $.095T as the most recent "aid" to Ukraine, the total is approaching a healthy fraction of a trillion dollars. Billions are less than a rounding error of consideration these days.

Oh, I just found out the total wasted largess, money laundering through Ukraine now stands at $0.23T. We are not giving this out of our excess; we're giving it by adding to our already out of control debt.

This is what happens when you listen to propaganda.

Our old and retired equipment and munitions are sent to Ukraine meanwhile it needs to be replaced with new technologies and equipment. We can't replace equipment until the old stuff has a place to go....either recycled as scrap metal or sold to another country.
What the bulk of the 60 Billion is used for is to primarily purchase new equipment so we can sell Ukraine our older equipment. (None of it is actually given) Granted, the old equipment is considered debt by Ukraine and they will have to pay the US government the money back (with interest) over time.

There are no grants or free stuff.

 

[Wrangler]

If this is true, why did Congress have to pass a $95B spending bill to aid Ukraine?
