People seem to keep forgetting the past or choose to ignore it and continue another cycle of the status quo. 

Hahaha. Remembering the past is the whole reason I want nothing to do with Trump. He's not interested in helping the economy. Let's start with his tax policies. Do you remember when he gave tax breaks to companies instead of the American people. He specifically said that it would trickle down. It was that garbage to help his own friends. But yeah, let's move on to his monetary policy. He printed an obscene amount of money. Now that is negative at first glance, but you have to understand what that did to the fed and the purpose of economic policy. Long story short the fed is supposed to respond to economic changes to support the American people and they are typically prepared for emergencies like covid. But let's test this back to what happens if Trump prints money. The problem with printing money to such a degree is twofold. For one, it is the lazy approach. Instead of trying to figure out who in the market needs help and how to get it to them, he just decided to lazily print money. And the fed is not out of here yet, printing money to such a degree took away the safety net that the fed typically uses to respond to economic down turns. Long story short Trump literally set us up for the inflation that we are still experiencing. Let's not even go into the Supreme Court Justices he elected who overturned decades old precedent literally against the will of the majority of Americans. And let's also leave out project 2025 which is literally a plan to disturb the democracy we have in America. Sure he SAYS he knows nothing about it, but 140 at a minimum of his staff helped to write it. JD Vance himself wrote a forward for it. And it is a plan that doesn't care about the American people, is simply a plan to disturb the wonderful democracy that we have by forcing as many people as possible to do what he wants without insight into what AMERICANS want. Yeah we'll leave that out too. And then we are going to leave out the fact that this guy literally said that he would be a dictator and attack his political opponents. And let's leave out the fact that I am a Democrat. This guy is going to lose the election because everyone remembers the past and knows the effect of Trump in the office. Harris will win the election because literally anyone would be better than Trump. Seriously it's not even a challenge for her to win this, Republicans had the opportunity to pick someone they thought would be better for the job yet didn't. It's like they are not even trying and instead trying to setup an insurrection. The American people remember the status quo that Trump himself supported which was policy designed to increase the wealth of the wealthy and eliminated the wealth of the middle and lower class. Also I can't believe that a conservative would say liberals and progressives are the ones pushing the status quo. That's literally what being a conservative is about. I'm going to write literally the first result on conservative from duck duck go. "Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change." Tending to oppose change. This is literally about maintaining the status quo. But let's go ahead and talk about the status quo and the electoral college. Let's eliminate it. Let's ensure that all American citizens have an equal say in who is elected president. On its face this idea looks and sounds good. Hell the electoral college is the result of a months long compromise between those who wanted a democratic popular vote and those who wanted the president to be elected by the Senate. Now I think all parties today will agree the president should not be chosen by the Senate, we are a democracy/republic. So let's remove the electoral college. Republicans claim to have the silent majority so let's eliminate gerrymandering AND let's ensure that the people's voice is heard all done with just eliminating the electoral college.
