Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Finance, the economy & Economics The coming crash

the 'unfortunates' are normally the non-voting poor. History tells us that they do, however, get REALLY pissed off and then its blood on the streets. I suspect the same may be true of the youth as well. The poor survive and that takes a lot of time and effort. Youth, on the other hand, have urges and that too takes a lot of time. I said, previously that they don't think and that would actually be wrong. The problem is having the time to think about something other than, in one case, surviving and in the other giving in to youth itself which takes up all their time.

Were we where we needed to be before Trump was elected?
I don't think so.
How is Joe Biden uniquely qualified to get us to where we need to be?

A progressive candidate would have moved us toward where we needed to be. A centrist candidate will keep us right where we are. Stocks will come back, the rich will still be rich and the poor will be much poorer.

Status Quo Joe.

No Malarkey.

Oh come on, the real question is where will we be if we get another four years of the Combover Caligula.
And hey man, I don't think you're running around shrieking at people over Bernie.
But seriously, what do you think this country (or the world in general) will be like in 2024 if Trump stays in power?

I would have loved to see Bernie win the nomination, but it's not going to happen. And sorry, I just don't believe some conspiracy is the reason.
Even Michael Moore, who I also love and admire, is admitting that maybe it was too far a leap to get from Trump to Bernie, and he's maybe Bernie's biggest supporter.
And he scoffed at DiNiro for waxing poetic about Bloomberg on his podcast.

Now I'm supposed to come up with reasons why Biden is uniquel....pffffttt. Who elected me Biden's cheerleader?

Biden has more blood on his hands than Trump.

Voting is a tactical and strategic act. Somewhere along the line, we’ve been confusing it with a consumer choice with the the sum total of our choices representing our morality.

Morality informs our politics but voting is strategic and Biden has no strategic value with anyone who’s morals are justice, common humanity or the prospects of a livable planet.

In short, blue no matter who is virtue signaling but has to strategic value deciding between Biden or Trump as it concerns those values.

It’s little more than a fat necked suburbanite wearing a North Face expedition jackets at a Cheese Cake Factory on a Friday night. A conspicuous consumer choice, signaling a prefabricated virtue to others while having no grip in reality.

Blue no matter who...Wonder what political shop crafted that brain dead tag line.
