First Lady Jill Biden went on ABC's The View to urge voters "to choose good over evil when you cast your ballots. On the one hand we have Republicans backing the evil forces of the marketplace as the best model for growth and prosperity. Take the issue of inflation. It's been my observation that all the prices put on goods and services are placed there by human beings. If we want lower prices we must get these human beings to put lower-price tags on the merchandise. Joe is doing that. He told the CEOs of Walmart and Target that if they don't want to end up in court like Trump, they should lower their prices. And they did. This is instant action rather than some mysterious workings of supply and demand."
"So you're saying that the free market is just an excuse used to try to dampen down consumer complaints against politicians who aren't willing to order companies to lower prices?" Joy Behar asked.
"Yes," Biden replied. "Karl Marx had all this figured out 150 years ago, but right-wing propagandists maligned his revolutionary ideas of how to eliminate want. Take food as an example. Scientists can specify with great accuracy the quantities and types of foods that are best for human health. Marx felt that rather than leave decisions about what to eat up to the whims of the masses, the government should directly provide the precise diets for optimal results. We're not there yet, but Joe is slowly, but surely inching us closer."
"The free market fanatics overlook some of the key advantages of a more direct government role," the First Lady added. "China, for example, uses a 'social credit system' to encourage obedience to the lifestyle choices the regime is trying to instill in the population. Bad choices can be deterred by immediate punishments. The free market can't do this."
"Sounds great," Behar said. "Thanks for chatting with us today on these intriguing concepts."
In related news, Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del) lamented that "too many voters aren't aware of what President Biden has accomplished. They're too bummed out over the bad economy. I saw a poll just the other day where 80% of folks now consider fast food to be a luxury they can't afford. If the President didn't have such bad luck he'd be a lot farther ahead of Trump in the polls than he is right now. And that's before accounting for the swollen ranks of justice-impacted individuals who are going door-to-door to register fellow ex-cons in the states where laws have been changed to re-enfranchise them."

Yep, Joe's capable of solving a billion simultaneous equations per second despite not being able to read a teleprompter or remember what he had for breakfast.
Your (sledge) hammer hit the nail again.
Yeah, like death is better than life.
The lies of the Left comes down to that. The Left would have you believe that darkness and death is better than light and life.
Apparently many are buying that lie. Amazing.

Sound advice. That is why I will be voting for Donald Trump.
