One administration gave us a secure border, low, stable (perfect) inflation, low gas prices, and low mortgage rates, and the other gave us the worst border crisis in US history, the highest gas prices in US History, the highest inflation in 41 years, and the highest mortgage rates in 24 years.

Even the republican candidate were just more normal. They had Mitt Romney and John McCain more normal candidates. Yes there was the tea party but they where more separate from the GOP and republican mainstream party. I live in Vermont which is a state that won’t matter really; because of this I have never voted before being almost 30 which is kinda shameful but this election I cannot stand by anymore. I have registered to vote and will be voting for Harris. I can not sit by and let a fascist President get elected again. I paid attention in school the way Hitler came to power is with radical fascism and targeting a minority group. I will not let fascism win laying down. I will not vote for someone who invoked a crowd of there supporters to try to over throw democracy. I know my vote probably won’t matter being my state is only worth 3 points but hey I’m going to be doing my part for once.

@@justmejustine1958 It is funny that Republicans inherit a booming economy and Democrats inherit a wrecked economy from their predecessor. The 2007 global recession was inherited from Bush, caused by deregulated banks. The covid recession was exacerbated because we did not take it serious enough when it mattered, unnecessary deaths and prolonging the pandemic caused the long-term inflation effects we feel today. Lastly, corporate greed as some industries didn't experience enough inflation in their supply chain to justify huge price spikes in consumer goods just because they wanted to squeeze profits out of working people. Thanks to the conservative majority in the Supreme Court, the only way to regulate these industries from sucking the average American dry is by packing it as proposed by FDR. Republicans have played dirty for the last 10 years, it really started when a Obama-appointed judge was withheld 8 months before the election but a Trump-appointed judge was rushed in a month before the election. Seems the Democrats are starting to realize that bipartisanship never works with a partisan Republican party that represents a minority of this country.
