Bernie's already won. The government is re-distributing the entire wealth of this country. The government is getting involved in everything. 96-0 Senate vote. Trump on board, republicans on board. There's not a dimes worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Bailout of states, companies, people, small businesses, printing presses going 24 hours a day. The government's going to bail out everyone and pay for everything.
I'm ordering stuff online and everything is 2x+ normal prices This is what inflation is going to look like even when we get back to "normal". No one's going to be able to afford eating out like they did. The Chinese are now #1 economically because they manufacture and we don't. Of course without us buying, they'll have problems too. Service jobs are over. Everything Trump said about losing our manufacturing is true but no one's talking about it now because of the election. They'd have to admit he was right about tariffs.
We will have to re-trench around the world militarily. Europe will be on its own to face Russia. Spending on defence with crater. So will stocks, home values and everything else.
Gee I hope I'm wrong and Trump is right that we'll come back "quickly". But that's just his positive marketing before the election, I'm afraid.
No he has not. First, this is a national emergency and policies need to be different. Second, the 5th amendment protects us from government use of our businesses without compensation. Government has shut down our businesses and owes us compensation for it.
I also doubt we will be seeing big government, especially with Trump in office. Trump is refusing all temptations to increase government size and take over business, which is a good thing. Not to mention the free market is really shining here. This pandemic is showing the world that we have the best healthcare system to handle this even though it is free market based.
Just like Biden pointed out with Italy, socialized healthcare does not make things better.
But anyway, I think both Bernie and the intersectional left are going to destroy Biden. Biden may be considering Harris as his VP. There is no reason to pick a looser like her for VP, especially over Klobuchar, who is probably the best pick when looking at everyone, other then checking the black box as well. And we know that if Klobuchar is picked, there will be plenty of people on left say, "yes, she's a woman, but she's a white woman. What's wrong with picking a black woman?" So Harris has a chance just due to this.
If Biden had any balls and was smart, he would tell them and Bernie to screw off. He's won already, does not need their endorsement anymore, and should start moving back to the center. I have little faith he is smart enough to make this call though.
