We say it all the time but it always bears repeating: The Democrats have no plans or policies that will actually lower the cost of living and never will.
The "Affordable Care Act" made healthcare more expensive.
The "Inflation Reduction Act" made inflation worse.
Any kind of "Green New Deal" would make energy completely unaffordable (and unavailable eventually).
That brings us to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has been saying this about the price of gas:
Seeing that number at the gas pump is the difference between being able to afford your groceries or not. All because of an insane war that we had no business fighting. https://t.co/Enw2CpQuF2

There is of course always a vast difference between what lefties like El-Sayed say, vs. the kinds of things they believe.

"Why do we need to be moving fossil fuels when we have the Democrats' indeterminate magic that will power everything!?"
What could possibly go wrong here?
Totally insane Reporter: "I heard you say you wanted to shut [pipelines] down. Then what is the alternative to moving those fossil fuels?" Abdul El-Sayed: "Why do we need to be moving fossil fuels?" https://t.co/y8CF6wH6Eh

That video is from about eight years ago but that's the REAL Abdul El-Sayed, so vote accordingly, Michigan.
