Donald Trump stops being president on Inauguration day. After that, the Secret service answers to Biden. We won't need to ask the military to step in.

Yet they continue to refuse to, and I believe this is because of their wealthy donors who don't want them to Voters' choices make no sense. Even among Republicans, a form of M4A (the type that keeps private insurance intact) enjoys majority support but they consistently vote for candidates that oppose even the ACA. It's absurd. I wish voters would go back to voting who they agree with and stop caring it's there's an R, D, I, whatever next to their name.

Sloansabbith 136 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 4 minutes ago, Gagaloo911 said: Maybe. It remains to be seen but I certainly hope that Biden can do that. And I disagree on that last point. In parts of the country things like marijuana legalization were strongly popular and passed, and given Bernie Sanders really pushed this, coupled with his economic populism that has been proven after 2016, 2018, and now 2020 works, I strongly believe Bernie would have been in a stronger position than Biden by putting forth a strong, positive agenda as he was. If you really think about it, neither Trump nor Biden had that. Had one of them had a strong, positive, economic populist agenda that actually gave Americans a vision for the future, they would have likely won in a landslide. But neither did, and it was razor thin. Bernie did have this, and progressive economic policies are incredibly popular around the country passing even in red states and Florida where they passed the increase in minimum wage. If Democrats would just lean into this, they could actually have a decent shot of winning people over. Yet they continue to refuse to, and I believe this is because of their wealthy donors who don't want them to. I felt this way about Bernie last time and would have agreed 100% this time. But then George Floyd happened and the cities burned (rightfully so) but that sent independents and moderate democrats right back to the middle and made me believe we needed someone like Biden.

We're in uncharted territory & Trump is backed into a corner. But there is a huge difference between what Trump says and what he DOES. He knew he was going to lose. He’s setting up for his next endeavor - to be run around and talk about how the election was stolen from him. This election isn’t going to be decided by the Supreme Court. That’s PTSD from 2000 talking but that was also a different situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
