Stock market is up because companies big enough to be publicly traded got a bailout. They were also paid to not lay-off. But the layoffs are getting started again. Also with that bonus unemployment people actually made more money during Coronavirus than they would’ve working. So they fell over themselves to spend it back into the economy and not go back to work. It’s estimated 60% of small businesses won’t make it till the end of the year. Also if you were unfortunate enough to work a minimum wage “essential” job you got fucked. Others collected 2x that to sit at home. I’ve never seen $5 trillion lit up in smoke in 6 months in such a haphazard manner. It makes the Iraq war look like a bargain. I laugh when I see Trump ads calling Biden a socialist.
Yeah a minimum wage that hasn’t been updated in how many years? It’s work three jobs, get a student loan for overpriced schools, or join the military. Those are your options to make a living in America. That or be a commie. I have heard that people in the trades (plumber and such) do well for themselves. But even they are getting hit hard in the Covid. We had a guy come out a while back and he said his business was pretty dry.
Trump is refusing to do the second debate now that it will be through a video call and they can mute him if he starts acting like an idiot again. First debate was a horror show that tanked his polls: Trump and his mask-less entourage spreading covid-19, him bombing a question about white supremacy, an hour of two old men yelling at each other like they are in the Deli line and the Deli ran out of whitefish salad. At least the VP debate was like a normal debate. I don't think anyone really even wants to see a second Trump/Biden debate.
Looks like Trump's "very fine" right wing militia buddies that he told to stand by tried to assassinate the governor of Michigan
I will be voting in person on election day. I don't trust the other options with how much Trump has done to undermine them. I'm not intimidated by Trump dipshits. I will walk right up and cast my vote for Biden.
We're only days away from Election Day. Are there enough young voters with a modern "education" to put Biden and the Democrats in charge, or will that require election fraud at a scale the likes of which we have never seen?
Honestly everyone should vote. Be like Washington state and get your ballot in the mail. Ours were dropped in a drop box and then rejected and then accepted. Of course, if everyone voted we’d never have another Republican in office again.
I'm guessing Biden wins the popular vote by some ridiculous number but loses the election because all that matters with the electoral college system is being popular in swing states. I hope I'm wrong. My expectations for this election really couldn't be lower. If by some miracle Biden wins it wouldn't surprise me if some of the knuckle draggers who support Trump become violent. Dude attracts the absolute dregs of humanity.
We may not know till January. There’s a lot of weird things that can happen, constitutionally, too. Trump possibly forces a House of Representatives vote. Or if there isn’t a president by a date or something then Pelosi gets to name an interim. It’s getting hard to pay attention anymore. I still think Trump wins but gets impeached and ousted. But I wonder why is Biden and Dems working on Texas if the swing states are in play. Either he is ahead and going for the jugular? Or behind and making a Hail Mary?
I keep laughing at CNN pushing the idea of solidly red states like Georgia, Texas, and Arizona as swing states. They’re going to Trump. Florida and Ohio which actually are swing states are almost certainly going to Trump. Pennsylvania stands a good chance of flipping blue again. I’m not really seeing how Biden is going to win the electoral college. He’s much more popular overall but not popular enough where he needs to be to win.

Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are quite liberal, but it's probably not enough to turn TX blue

I’ve read safety problems and lack of funding... whatever happens Tuesday and beyond this is the funniest election ever. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump...-for-hours-yet-again-after-rome-georgia-rally
