Summary
Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”
In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.
Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.

So fucking do something about it, Democrat dipshits
Did you forget that the Republicans have control of all three branches of government?
They can’t really do anything to a filibuster.
the democrats had plenty of time under biden to introduce bills regarding grocery prices. All I remember were finger wagging press releases and corporate give aways in funding.
Edit: yup, they did nothing effective
The past is gone, the now is republicans. I know it’s hard to remember, but they’re in control of everything. The voters could have also not voted trump in, why not get mad at them?
This is so completely upside down it hurts. “Why punch up when you could punch down?”
Even if voters were the ones at fault, it’s completely pointless and unproductive to blame the public at large because changing their behavior is a hell of a lot harder than changing the behavior of the handful of people running the campaign. They should be the ones to change based on what the voters want, it shouldn’t be the voters who have to change based on what politicians want to do!
Yeah, but that point is in the past. And back then, a whole shitload of people decided it wasn’t worth their time/energy/feelings to vote for the not-a-nazi.
The reality of now is that no one can do shit. Feel free to post more theory about how shit should work. It won’t amount to shit, we’re in fascist oligarchy times. You’re not going to change their behavior.
dude that was a few months ago. =) they literally wasted 4 years. again. I’m pissed because my entire adult life the democrats have been worse than ineffectual at improving the american baseline. The republicans managed to take all 3 branches because of how piss poor democrats have been at representing their base. after harris’ disgusting behavior on the campaign trail and biden absolute disgusting policies w/ respect to israel im basically done with the DNC at the national level, they can rot.
Harris had disgusting behavior on the campaign trail? She didn’t piss me off until she said “Fuck confirming judges or demanding recounts or investigations, I’m going to Hawaii!”
Yes. Her campaign shit all over Muslim americans. She refused to condem or even admit to the genocide. She repeatedly tried to gaslight americans over bidens mental fitness. And completely ignored the economic hardships many are experiencing. Wouldn’t commit to keeping ms khan because her family member was under investigation by the ftc.
Absolutely disgusting. Never mind the fact she had no real policies positions that would have improved anything.
And then on top of all that nonsense, palling around with Cheney. And rank and file members immediately throwing lgbt+ under the bus post election in an attempt to deflect responsibility for the loss because of their shit policies.
Dont get me started about actions she took over the last 4 years as VP.
But she and the dnc lost because they refuse to acknowledge how absolutely pissed americans workers are atm. And keep trying to gaslight us.
“Nothing fundamentally will change.”
It’s telling how much they downvote your sensible take
Keep on it guys! If downvotes were real votes, you’d surely win the election!
Downvotes are all they have to reasonable facts about how Democrats purposefully fuck over their voters to guilt them into voting for them compared to Literal Evil Republican Party.
Yeah a bunch of people were pissed off. They should have voted for her anyway. The choice was shit, or radioactive shit. Personally, I’m kind of fucking furious over everyone with the privilege of washing their hands of participation because they knew they wouldn’t feel the consequences.
The sad truth is that everything you posted is right, and it still wasn’t the reason she lost. A third of the country just didn’t fucking vote. And it wasn’t even in protest.
