Trump vs. Kamala Voters: Who Will Fix the Economy? | SWING STATE DEBATES

This is the final installment of our Swing State Debates. In the lead-up to the election, Ben Kawaller has embarked on a mission to mend America’s fractured political landscape, orchestrating provocative conversations among voters from different ends of the ideological spectrum.

Taking place in various swing states across the country, each episode focuses on a specific hot-button issue, unfolding as an unpredictable microcosm of America’s broader political drama.

Presented by the David Merage Foundation and @weareevokemedia.

The only thing I learned from this panel is that the media propaganda works on a lot of people.

"i'm undecided" = "i'm voting for trump, but i don't want my sister to see this"

[sirsaltysnell]

It never fails, whenever someone says they are undecided or in the middle these days they are just ashamed to admit they support Trump.

POLITICIANS?!!! This is what Thomas Sowell has said about them.
“No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems - of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.”
“Someone once said that taxes are the price we pay for civilization. That may have been true when he said it, but today taxes are mostly the price we pay so that politicians can play Santa Claus and get reelected.”
“How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?”

I’m a small business owner and I don’t own a yacht…ridiculous statement. I started my business 30 years ago. COVID came, and because I live in California, I nearly lost everything. My souvenir is a $500k loan I didn’t owe before. Usually when you take out a loan you get to buy something. What did I buy? I paid my rent. Being told how to run my business by Alex is insulting. He doesn’t think we need to raise prices when the minimum wage goes up, energy costs spike, and every supply we have to purchase is 30-40%?!? Where does that money come from, bro? Do we go outside and shake the money tree? Dude we all have competitors. We can’t just keep prices high for no reason—our competition would destroy us. How do people not understand this?

Nordic countries being socialist is just silly. Denmark is one of the top participants of capitalism in the world. All those countries still are far more capitalist than they are socialist

[katedunning]

Jerica is too confident in her ignorance. She dominates the conversation to the point that others don’t offer their honest opinion for fear of her “launching into it”.

Non Covid deficit spending: Trump 8.4 T // Biden 4.3 T.
Covid deficit spending: Trump 4.8 Biden: 2.2
Inflation, due to Covid supply chain/spending is worldwide. USA has outperformed other G7 countries x3.
Corporations own 3% of US residential property.

The lady with 4 kids confuses me. She complains that things have been so expensive in d last 3yrs and wants to vote for d same party under which d extreme prices of things occurred

[ethancohen]

Anyone who ever says that greed is the issue has ZERO idea how economics work

[jasonpauldegraaf]

The blonde lady who owns a small business has seen prices for her family, food, and business skyrocket under Kamala and she's like, "Yep, that's exactly who I want in office." LOL

[betspath]

If corporations are going to be punished by higher corporate taxes, WE WILL PAY THAT.

[emmamcdaniel]

My heart sort of breaks for the woman in brown who went through a divorce and is now working a low wage job after having spent her life raising children. Much of the conversation centered around the need for childcare, and her skill set and temperament obviously lends her to be of high value in that field. It’s a shame that this problem can’t be solved.

[wickswandering]

The moderator could to do a little better job of not letting one person and her opinion dominate the entire conversation because she's not right on everything and everybody's viewpoint should be getting across.

Just because she's loud and overtakes the conversation doesn't mean she's always right.

[troyadeyemi]

I feel like I lost a few IQ points watching this panel.

[bartlebythescrivener]

Hilarious how most ppl don’t understand how inflation works. Prices NEVER GO BACK DOWN unless we experience DEFLATION (which usually only happens in a recession). Good thing that guy is an educator lol.

[EarlyRiser]

The girl saying we need to move away from 2party politics, yet votes for the party removing Bernie from the primary two elections in a row. Until you have the courage to stand up, you will not change anything.

[rsandhu]

Where exactly is this guy seeing a bunch of starving children. I work in a middle-low income area and all I see are overweight kids.

[NA-ools]

Politicians won’t solve your problems, don’t let them fool you into thinking that they will. Build the life you want to live.

[Dpwman_]

I wish there were better Conservatives in these. These videos are great, and I think Ben does a good job, but there’s several issues that are very easy to answer and they’re just not doing it. Jerica gave horrible takes and didn’t get properly challenged by the opposite side.
