Not going to work this time, idiot. People are clueing in to the fact that the nominee, selected by a handful of Dem elites who only weeks earlier were trying to dump her from the Biden ticket, is a complete airhead with the most radical left voting record in the Senate. Her proposal to price fix shows complete ignorance of economics and history, and she is too stupid to know that her “rally” sealed her fate with her idiotic proposal.Your total ignorance on what is actually being proposed makes this OP completely ridiculous. So does recycling that old (GASP!) "communism" trope.
The voting public is sick and tired of being bent over and violated by greedy corporations and all the while having to listen to their brainwashed, sheeple mouthpieces like yourself telling them there's nothing they can do about it without selling out to "communism."
There are ways to check corporate welfare and redistribute hoarded, ill-gotten wealth back into the economy without becoming communistic.
Sounds like the year 2020 with Trump in the White House.

See, this is why Republicans can't win elections anymore. Conservatism is out of touch with modern demographics and the issues that the new voting majority really cares about.
Yes....I said NEW voting majority. These people are not "semi-literate foreigners.....that would be convicted felon Trump's illiterate MAGAt base. No, these are multi-racial, young first time voters, LGBTQ and other non-traditional couples, suburban college educated women, and so on.
In other words AMERICANS.
Your message is old and stale and doesn't resonate broadly with the largest cross-section of the electorate anymore.
Remember this in November so that once Harris/Walz are on their way to The White House and both houses of Congress have turned blue you'll finally understand how it happened and you won't have to invent ridiculous stories about how the election was stolen.
So why is Harris talking about this now?
Probably because inflation remains a highly salient issue politically. And plenty of voters do blame grocery stores, fast food chains, and food and packaged goods makers for the surge of inflation in the past three years. Corporate profits soared in 2021 and 2022.
"It could be that they're looking at opinion polls that show that the number one concern facing voters is inflation and that a large number of voters blame corporations for inflation," Strain said.
At the same time, even if prices aren't going up as much, as Harris noted, they remain high, even as supply chain kinks have been resolved.
What is 'price gouging' and why is VP Harris proposing to ban it?
Grocery retailer profit margins have surged in recent years. The idea behind a price-gouging ban is to keep corporations from excessively raising prices, but can it actually work?abc7.com
