For those who won't vote, answer me this

[task0778]

Here's what I think will happen if Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate:

The Senate filibuster gets shit-canned, simple majority vote for everything. Do you think this is a good idea?

DC gets admitted as the 51st state, giving the Dems an extra 2 seats in the Senate and 3 or more electoral college votes. Maybe Puerto Rico gets admitted too, so that's 4 new Senate seats and perhaps 6 or more EC votes. Which makes it harder for the GOP to take back the WH or the Senate. Both places will be a drain on our resources.

Bailouts for fiscally strapped states and cities. We pay for the riot damage done in the big cities that didn't even try to contain the violence and destruction. What makes you think all that goes away if Biden wins? What'll happen when the next black guy is killed by a cop, justified or not?

Will democrat run cities and states defund their PDs, or will the federal gov't provide additional funding for those cities?

Repeal of the SALT deduction for rich people.

Higher taxes, more spending. More regulations too, none of which will help the economy grow.

More lockdowns and social distancing. Won't help the economy either.

My guess is, the stock market will take a hit, maybe a crash. A lot of less than rich people will suffer a drop in their 401ks.

Reinstitute the Iran deal. Maybe restart the Paris Accords too. How many ways can we send billions and trillions of our tax dollars overseas?

China resumes it's rape of American businesses. Hunter Biden gets really wealthy.

No doubt some other stuff I didn't think of.


Okay, so here's my question: what on earth is Trump going to do that is worse than this?

I don't often reply to posts, but will remind everyone very little of this happened under Obama, our economy recovered nicely from the great recession left over from Republican George W Bush, and Biden will run things about the same as Obama.

Your fear mongering is duly noted though....

I don't often reply to posts either, but I will in your case.

"remind everyone very little of this happened under Obama"

Biden isn't Obama and this isn't 2009. The Far Left is pretty much running the show on the Dem side and the establishment Dems had a lot more control than they do now. It didn't happen under Obama cuz he lost the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Have you seen the stuff the Dem platform calls for? It's ridiculous, basically the Bernie Sanders socialist agenda.. Green New Deal. Amnesty. Bailouts, etc., are you telling me that none of that and the other things I said in the OP won't happen? You naivete is alarming.


"our economy recovered nicely from the great recession"

Oh, it did? 1.6% economic growth is your idea of 'nicely', and even that wasn't due to Obama's policies but rather the Fed's QE and the rise of fracking, which Obama opposed. You know the Biden has promised to raise taxes, and increase spending for all kinds of social programs, at a time when our economy is extremely weak and fragile coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown; increased taxes and spending has NEVER lifted any economy's growth. NEVER.

But our economy did improve quite a bit under Trump, up until the pandemic hit we were an order of magnitude better.


"Biden will run things about the same as Obama."

I don't think so. I don't think Biden will be running anything, Schumer and Pelosi and the Far Left will be calling the shots IMHO, and I don't think Biden has the mental capabilities to do the job.
