What are the most important issues in the 2024 election?

I put Uncle J on ignore a while back. Suggest others follow suit.

What we're seeing now is both late stage capitalism and an empire that's in decline.

Agreed. All states that had the world's strongest fiat money economically collapsed in 60 to 120 years. The U.S. took over in 1945 as a result to WWII. They got off the gold standard in '71.
All states tax people which is legit. They also run a Ponzi scheme in which they just print fiat money to satisfy their desires. This results in inflation, the hidden tax that erodes everyone's savings. Eventually, the currency becomes nearly worthless.

Bitcoin? Good Luck!

Eh, fiat isn't as easily inflated as a currency based on say gold or silver. Inflation hits those backed currencies harder due to the physical limitations of gold and silver.

As long as the US dollar remains as a corner st9ne in western trade, it's safe. Inflation hit hard post pandemic, but its slowing back to pre pandemic percentages, not prices sadly. The US would not switch off that standard without permission from the very people that give the dollar its worth.

Both parties work for the super rich. The democrats do a better job at throwing the masses scraps and maintaining our institutions.

I wouldn't say that

The U.S. dollar is not priced using the gold standard. As can print as much of it as they want... and they do so.
The CPI is a joke as the government picks and changes the items in the basket to make themselves look better. Also, the inflate rate varies for each individual as, for example, a person wanting to buy a home inflation rate would be different that a person who owns a home and does not wish to purchase another.

THe US dollar is safe to the degree that it is superior to other currencies. Most other currencies 'suck' more than the U.S. currency. History has shown that all currencies go 'down the toilet' eventually because the government is free to print more.
