The impact on gas prices this election is being vastly overplayed. Folks need to quit falling for it.
Um, "falling for it"?
There's no "falling for" what the pump tells you when it stops after a fill-up and a quick calculation of how much your account has in it now.
Again, quit thinking like a political sycophant. The average person out there gives zero ****s about politics and only about what their hard work gets them.
Is it as bad as some are saying? No.
Is it good? Also no.
If the average person gives zero ****s about politics, then why are they voting based on a talking point fed by the left?
You way, way, way over simplify things to a single issue that is sticking in your side.
Gas prices driving the midterm decisions is based on what… polling? Yea, see LA polling story from this morning.
I remember when it was prescription drug pricing is all Americans cared about. Then it was healthcare premiums.
Your personal financial struggles regarding petrol aside, gas is being presented as a wedge issue because it's a simple talking point people understand graphically and because they are reminded when they fill up. I get that, you do too.
Now whether someone is going to give up a lifetime of voting one way because gas prices are a bit higher, though not historically high in the least, well that sounds like buffalo chips to me.
You do you Rob.
