Look at New York and Chicago since July 1, 2020 where you have murder upon murder and lazy useless people sucking the taxpayer dry, while they "protest". That is the future for all under 40, but only for the rest of your lives.

(1) The ACA will not be repealed and it will be improved so as to be less of a burden to upper-middle-class workers who are self-employed. Single-payer will never make it through an all-democratic congress
(2) The Trump corporate tax cut will be reversed to pre-Trump levels.
(3) Dreamers will be allowed to stay and we'll construct a path to citizenship.
Oops, shouldn't this be on politics page?
(1) And the ACA will include all the illegals (sorry, "undocumented") at everyone else's expense
(2) "Reverse tax cut" is just another way of saying "raise taxes" at the worst possible time for businesses large or small
(3) Dreamers "path to citizenship" is nothing more than election fraud in favor of Democrats
It's every bit as "radical as I might think" and then some.

Waaa waaa waaa Founder nailed it. 25 wakes up and has a hard on for Trump. Everything is Trumpys fault. This 25 is just a huge douche. When he burns his tongue cause the coffee is too hot, Trumps fault. He stubs his toe on the door, Trumps fault. What a whiny fuck always whining about something. Take a Xanax.
The radical left is, and will be, running the Democratic party/agenda -Bernie Sanders, Orcasio Cortez, the Squad, will all be given more power than they ever had before; and where do you think they want to take this country - Sanders is an "Independent" b/c he's been too far-left even for the liberal Dem party - Sanders is a communist that wants America to mirror the way Cuba is governed - the writing is on the wall, as in previous hard-left takeovers in history, people don't come to their senses till it's too late and the hard-left has consolidated power; then let the buyer's remorse begin usually for decades.
Traditionally, most politicians running for president will move to the center to appeal to the masses - Biden has done the opposite and he and the Dem party have moved left of left and are running on a radical agenda whose aim is to turn America into something radically different mirroring socialism *at the least* and likely closer to Sanders-style Marxism with complete government take-over of society and the economy.
All of Sanders grand Socialist ideas will only be the beginning - everything Sanders has always wanted he will pay-for by taking everyone's wealth - everything you ever worked for, i.e. your nest-egg, will be cut in half if not completely evaporate "in the name of equality" - where do you think the $$$ for "free college for all"; "free health-care for all"; "reparations"; "nice housing for everyone even if you don't work"; etc; where do you think all that $$$ will come from; it will come from you, your hard work, and everything you've saved/invested for your future - your earnings and savings will be confiscated to fund the revolution they want to implement.
We are already seeing a prequel of what's to come:
+ mobs allowed to run rampant terrorizing civilians and destroying w/e they see fit; while those in power protect them
+ white people being told they have to "deny their whiteness"
+ the bedrock of our democracy, freedom-of-speech, *only* applying to one group of people - anyone that criticizes the mob becomes an enemy not to be disagreed with, but to be destroyed (cancel-culture; people losing their jobs, etc).
This is is just a prequel - imagine if the radical left takes full-power - their actions and their words are already telling you what type of America they plan to implement - unfortunately too many people won't believe till they see it and they have to start living it.
Do you remember when early on Trump basically said that Covid–19 was really nothing more than the flu?
Well do you think he just pulled that out of his ass? (that’s rhetorical because of course that’s what you think). The fact is that he didn’t. He got it from his top expert Dr. Fauci who wrote:
“This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36% respectively.” New England Journal of Medicine: NEJMe2002387.”
None of the experts have been correct, period. And it is FUCKING foolish to allow “experts” to set policy. The dirty little secret is that most experts are not in any way “experts” and those that do happen to be unquestioned experts are experts in a very narrow scope of study but because they are so damn smart they think they are experts about everything. Here’s a clue for you: when that preening asshole Fauci (who has been wrong over and over and over again) started voicing his opinion about which brain dead Hollywood actor should portray him on SNL the whole world should have stopped listening to anything he had to say.
____________________
If you put the least bit of effort into being precise, there's a "case fatality rate "(which varies widely due to the number of reported cases) and an "infection fatality rate" which is thought to be about 0.1%, similar to the flu. But we have a vaccine for the flu.. Last time I looked we have 135,000 deaths from Covid in less than half a year -- which dwarfs the number of yearly deaths from the flu, which is about 65,000 deaths.
The infection fatality rate may be about the same as the flu -- but Covid is a far, far greater threat.
Damn we are doing so well against the pandemic, how many dead so far 135,500, almost three and a half million separate infections and yeah I think Trump pulled all of that out of his ass, unquestionably, I'm still waiting for when we are going to be winning so much we're gonna get tired of winning, don't blame me for not warning you that this presidency was going to be a disaster, boy has this President, been a disaster, one shit fest after another.
According to you @twentyfive it’s all Trump’s fault. Well unsurprising to me if not to anyone else the USA is doing OK (so maybe you'll will now credit Trump for doing so well, lol).
The USA was better prepared and better able to deal with the pandemic than anywhere else in the world. IMHO Trump gets some credit and very little blame while NY, the America hating media and the rest of the elitist scum get much of the blame. These are the numbers:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths worldwide per one million population as of July 13, 2020, by country
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104…
Belgium 856.41
United Kingdom 674.08
Spain 607.89
Italy 578.41
Sweden 542.66
France 446.70
USA 412.71
What I posted was a quote from Dr. Fauci. And one that he took time to think about and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine as I referenced. That was his "expert" opinion.
If you understand English, the total number of people who die is the infection fatality rate multiplied by the number of people who get infected. We don't have a vaccine for Covid. You're taking Fauci's comments out of context, dipshit.
I'm not arguing the medical reality of Covid-19 (you couldn't keep up as demonstrated by your inability to follow along with this thread). What I said in my post was that the idea that Covid-19 was like the flu wasn't Trump's idea but it came from his "expert" (who has been wrong time and again).
This covid nightmare is not Trump's fault. It's the fault of governors keeping people home and not building temp hospitals.
But fuck it, vote Trump out and this thing goes away.
BTW. everybody that disagrees with you isn't scum nor do they hate America, any one who says shit like that has no standing at all, so it would behove you to shut the fuck up.

That I suspect is why you hate him so much because the two of you have the same life story and are identical in every way with the exception that he became something and you didn’t.
Envy is the worst of the seven deadly sins because it opens you up to all the other six sins. Crawl back under your bed and someone will let you know when it’s safe to come out.
________________________
I'll try to explain this to you one final time in eighth-grade English: The number of people who die is the infection fatality rate multiplied by the number of people who get infected. If Covid is 20x more contagious than the flu, then then 20x more people will die if the infection fatality rate is the same.
Fauci didn't say "it's like the flu." HE SAID THE INFECTION FATALITY RATE MAY BE THE SAME."

unfortunately he's still our fucking mayor for another year and change.
Looks like the next president will get 3 SCOTUS picks.
Now if the left takes the presidency, the house and the senate. Game is over! Not just for the US, but as the stabilizing force in the world, LOTS of bad can happen.
IF the right can at lease keep the senate 4 years, then they can slow down/block everything and we only have to make it to '24, so the damage to the US might be mitigated a bit.
The left's narrative is that Trump's mishandling exacerbated the virus.
The right's narrative is that the virus wasn't a big deal anyway.
The truth is that the virus was a big deal, it has killed 140,000 Americans, which is a horrifying number. But it was not really Trump's fault. Everyone, right-wingers and left-wingers, were in denial back in February. I acutely remember it because I was incredibly frustrated trying to tell people to take the virus seriously and nobody was. I knew it was a lot more dangerous than the flu and nobody listened because it apparently takes 140,000 people dying before people will face the facts.
Laying all the blame at Trump's feet, however, is ridiculous when the whole nation was in denial. Trump banned travel from China early on. Could he have done more? Yes, he could have, but let's not pretend that the experts were begging him to be more proactive and he ignored them. The WHO was more in denial than anybody. If anyone has seriously mishandled the virus its them.
All of that being said, we've got to move on eventually. You can't shut a nation down forever. Things have to go back to normal. I don't see why people are so opposed to wearing masks. If its a matter of discomfort then the clothed masks are a lot more comfortable and less ugly than surgical masks are. But there are also drugs available right now that cut the mortality rate by as much as 60%.
None of this, whatsoever, is justification for allowing the Democrats to take control of congress. Because if they do, COVID will be the least of your problems. They will rip up the constitution and violate everyone's rights, imposing a censorship regime the likes of which we thought would never happen outside of China, North Korea, and Iran.
I’m here to tell you my family and I all wore masks while social distancing and we all got the virus. There blows your theory! I guarantee this virus will run its course with or without the masks, so if you are in a high risk you should quarantine yourself forever, because that’s how long this will last. In the meantime, your philosophy is everybody should suffer for the good of the sick and frail, and all of Our freedoms should be taken away from us. Your never ending anti-Trump campaign is worse than any radical left BLM/CHAZ movement, because it’s beyond fatigued.
I prefer when both sides stalemate one another and leave us to live our best lives rather than try to inflict their vision of utopia on us.
Straight Republican down the ticket though. Anything to stop GND and the race mongers.
If I was in a state where my vote mattered, I would again vote against the Dems, not for Trump. And I am not thrilled that for two consecutive elections I feel like I have to hold my nose and fill in the circle for the less bad choice.
There are plenty of things that I don't like about Trump, but he is NOT attempting to radically transform the country. The Dems are. I have little doubt that if the Dems take control of both branches of government, they will overplay their hands and the backlash will hit sooner rather than later. The question will be, how much damage will they do before that happens and how much of the damage will be fixable. Personally, I would rather not find out.
Yeah - you don't want some hack working on it; but one would assume there are reputable Harley mechanic shops out there given how popular Harleys are - when I used to drive a Honda (car) I would take it to a Honda shop and often times the mechanics (or owner) had worked at a dealership previously.

This isn't the kind of place where people buy into your Marxist bullshit. (Well, maybe a few morons) But please continue telling me how great things will be under a babbling idiot like Biden.
Don't you know that President Trump has a secret lab where the virus was made? It was only suppose to take hold on the dimwitted, but that part didn't work. Also it was to create jobs as places reopened. Worse case, if the loony tune gets in, EVERYONE will wish President Trump were back in the White House.
