People seem to equate capitalism with exploited labor as opposed to free market.
This is the kind of shit that makes me start Googling expatriation topics.
LMFAO....Trump is going to get re-elected and they're going to blame the coronavirus - and they'll claim the inadequate response was intentional for that purpose. In other words, Trump is colluding with coronavirus (you can see this coming)!
But seriously. Trump and the Repubs are downplaying the virus, while the Dems are crying [hoping] Armageddon. Which voters do you think are more likely to stay home come November?

I think it comes down to the Trump-lovers-under-any-conditions vs. the Trump-haters-under-any-conditions. While both groups are vocal, I believe there are more in the former. Biden is a not a candidate that will inspire. In fact, he's probably regarded as a huge letdown. He is not going to get enough "people who are not in the Trump-hater camp, but will vote against Trump nonetheless" voters to come out to make up the difference between the lovers and haters.
It is funny how both extremes (as they always do) use something like coronavirus as a political argument. The left wing acts like Trump is thwarting response to supress dissent. The right wingers claim it is a conspiracy between the media and democrats to "weaponize" a disease that is really just a common cold in disguise.

There's a good chance CV-19 gets cranked back up around election time. I don't think there's any question it will suppress turnout. Even if you expand mail-in ballots. It might actually have the unexpected effect of INCREASING turnout in 60+.....because one thing the geezers still pwn is snail mail. They might not remember to vote on election day, but eventually they'll remember to mail that ballot in!
It's crazy to think about. What if turnout was half what it usually was? Voters on the losing side are going to completely lose their shit about how the results aren't valid because of supressed turnout.

BS talking point. Trump enacted a "racist" travel ban a month ago. THe left went bent on how racist it was. They brought Americans back and put them on military bases for 2 weeks under lockdown. Dont post the medias lies on here.
The CDC and NIH had funding increased long before this happened (you wouldnt know this if you watch CNN all day)
When obama floated the payroll tax cut back in the ’09 financial crisis, all the dems embraced it, and it was bipartisan; when Trump floats the payroll tax cut now, all the dems bitch and moan.
They really are a disgusting evil group.

You're not wrong. However, they're not the only party that has flip-flopped on it.

They definitely have flip-flopped on this and it is very hypocritical. That said, if this meets your threshold for "disgusting evil", then I hate to tell you that you are going to have to put your beloved president in that category too for his myriad of flip-flops.
The whole of their behavior over the last 3 years is what qualifies them as disgusting and evil. This is just icing on the cake.

Sounds like bushmeat sushi.
Don't eat it. You'll contract a new strain of coronavirus and apparently cripple the world economy.
Meanwhile, in Europe:

Ironically, coronavirus could breathe life into Bernie's campaign. At least, that's what he's hoping.
I think the Dems might be getting way out over their skis pushing all-in on this.
Don't want to politicize the Coronavirus thread so I'll post it here.
Supposedly Pelosi and Co tried adding some bullshit funding to the Coronavirus bill, which Republicans would then not pass. I know both sides do this all the time, but she should f right off if true.
Oh she did. Some real shady shit that would have permanently funded shit that the dems have always wanted.

As always, you are right on top of the intracate details. You have amazing sources at the highest levels of government.

She is trying to pork up the entire thing with incentives to not work and spending that has nothing to do with solving the problem. It is a national embarrassment. I hope the president tells her to shove it up her ass.

I'm not saying fiddling with this bill is right. But man, this is the shit both sides always pull. The Republicans did this during Obamas emergency rescue. It's the same old shit from both sides. Don't get sucked into it. Pelosi, Trump et. al. - these are not our friends and do not have our interests at heart.

Things like mandatory paid sick leave are one of the things Dems wanted that the WH refused. Why?
Bernie going on and on about how China has lifted hundreds of millions of its people out of poverty....when is someone going to point out that it was CAPITALISM that did that?
Perfect example of why they wouldn't give Fox even one debate.

Really? He's giving props to China? The country whose minimum wage is the equivalent of $322 per month?
Sounds like Biden isn't the only one forgetting things.
