yup I'm aware. harris also refused to commit to keeping khan. So americans assuming they're aware of these facts have two signals, one from the biden admin and the other from harris herself. personally I'm going to infer from the one harris sent herself.

But remember most americans dont care and dont pay attention to presidential orders unless they're effective; and the price of milk, eggs, and cereal are still 50%, if not more, higher than they should be. so how effective was biden? Why are my kellog flakes $7 dollars when the store brand is $3? its clearly not a supply chain/manufacturing issue the products are identical. this is rhetorical for you to think about what youre saying.

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.

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.
