Well the silver lining is if Biden kicks the bucket before January 19th Harris can still be President. He's 81, so there is a chance it could happen.

The democrats also have nearly 3 months to do some of the good things Harris promised they'd do if she were in power.. which she is currently. So you got that to look forward to.

I imagine all the vacation time coming is more what gets in the way of them doing anything.

Being a lame duck President for a month or two isn't really conducive to doing anything . This is generally the point where Congress digs in its heels and waits until January.

Also, Biden's basically a meat puppet with a hand up his ass at this point anyway, so if the Dems want to push for anything last minute, they don't need Harris in the chair, they just need to find a ventriloquist and wiggle their fingers.

The thing you need to fear isn't if JD becomes President. The thing you need to fear is how Trump would die.

Natural causes? Controllable, though there'll still be conspiracy theorists who claim he was poisoned.

Accident? Or worse, assassination? Now you've got a martyr, and he's more powerful than he ever was alive. And can inspire people to follow in his footsteps long after he would have otherwise been gone.

Dems should spend the next four years praying every single night for Trump to stay healthy. And thinking about all the things they did wrong this time around, and planning how they intend to win next time. Or they'll just keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Hint: A large part of it is admitting what THEY did wrong, not just blaming everything on Trump being charismatic and voters being stupid. That ways lies another Republican winning in 2028. If you don't acknowledge your own flaws, you can never fix them.

I'm worried. One of Trump's threats was to arrest doners a couple months ago....which I am one of them.

With over $1 billion in donations, I hope there are just too many people to throw in jail to even bother with it, but it's hard to predict Trump at this point.

I'd guess it was packed with pork that didn't help anything and the bill in general was probably more to make Biden look like he was doing something without doing anything. That's usually the reason these things fail to get support. They had 4 years and still have time to at lest pretend to want to do something, but they won't try to do anything.

Good news is, if your worried about the border issue, Trumps gonna tackle it, and massively it sounds like. Good news is, he only needs the laws already on the books to do we don't need new sweeping changes to anything, just enforce the law.

If you are for real honestly worried about this. Go outside, talk to some real people. Get out of the echo chamber. Trump isn't going to arrest people for their political beliefs, he's not a communist.

He will lower your prices though and you will have more money to spend on therapy after a few months.

Love or hate Trump he attempted to do every single thing he promised to do the first time around. So you can expect the same again. He is entirely predictable because he tells you what he's doing openly. There is no secret agenda. Its more if the goverment allows him to do it or not.

You guys act like he's a malevolent spirit who's appeared on the earth to torment you, when in reality his entire life is public and documented, he is or was friends with every big name you can think of. He has no secret life or agenda. You can watch old stuff with him in it, and he's the same Trump.

I feel like a big part of politics is also maybe demonstrating your trying to do the thing? Kinda Harris's entire flaw is she had 0 policy and literally didn't do anything for 4 years. I can't think of a single thing she did, other then laugh at everyone and every question. Reason no one out side people who only vote party, voted for her is she had no policy. She didn't even know what she was going to do, you had to check a website. And she had nothing to show for what she did the last 4 years. Pretty much an empty campaign. You can't just run on "not Trump". Didn't help no one voted for her anyways, and she was just installed by rich elites and bypassed our democratic process.

Good news for you all is in 4 years, Trump can't run again so you just have to endure the hardship of lower prices and a media that won't shut up about him for 4 years, and your free to live in fear of the next big threat the media finds for you to fear. You'll survive, you may even thrive, but your hate will endure.

Also just to be clear, I didn't and wouldn't vote for Trump or any of them. I don't really personally care who won or lost. but this entire election is really weird. The entire fixation on Trump is weird. The being so overly devoted to a single party, is weird.

If you agree 100% with a single party (or even any one person), your in a cult. They are not right on every issue and the other side isn't wrong on every issue but if you watch people that is how they are acting increasingly and it's weird (goes both ways). The nation needs a lot more talking and realizing we agree on more then we disagree, and most disagreement is how to solve the issue rather then the issue, and most issues probably have a reasonable middle ground where everyone is kind of happy.

You seem to have a thing for denying the bad things that the people you voted for said. Sure, odds are nobody will actually end up going to prison for donating to the president's opponents, but the fact remains that Trump has - in no uncertain terms - expressed a desire to make that happen. At best, that means government resources are going to be spent stopping him from acting out his temper tantrum. At worst, he's going to keep up this rhetoric (with a sprinkling of "the deep state is keeping me from bringing them to justice") until some of his cultists attack Democratic donors, since stochastic terrorism is kind of Trump's thing.

Or just started lurking instead. It's like they have no faith in their own positions unless there's a president who agrees with them (or at least says he does because doing so makes people like him more), which I guess just drives home the point that Trump is popular because he tells people what they want to hear.

caprontos posted...
He will lower your prices though

How exactly do you think that's going to happen? By forcing corporations to accept lower profit margins? Not likely for anyone, but least of all the overtly pro-corporation GOP. Tariffs on imported goods? Those will be passed on to consumers, and even if it does stimulate domestic manufacturing, domestic manufacturing is more expensive than outsourcing (hence companies outsource) and you'll still end up paying more. Deregulation? Most savings from that will be pocketed by corporations, so you'll be paying roughly the same amount for your box of Cheerios but now you won't know how much asbestos they contain. Somehow reducing inflation? Actual inflation hasn't been that high for a couple years now; the increases in prices you're seeing have largely been a matter of corporate greed (McDonalds, for example, has increased prices by upwards of 100% during a period when inflation only increased prices by 20-30%) and chasing pandemic highs.

The cost of living crisis is a global matter, not one that any president of the US has caused or can readily control without going much further to rein in the free market and/or establish UBI than most communism-fearing Americans would accept. Trump's promises to make things cheaper have very little basis in reality, instead preying on people's belief that things being expensive is primarily due to inflation caused by Biden and not a combination of opportunistic corporate greed and the economic fallout of the worst public health crisis in a century.

The people who say Kamala did nothing as VP just let everyone know they don't know what the vice president actually does. It is an advisory role.

For example, Pence did nothing the entire term.
Biden did nothing the entire term.
Cheney shot a guy, but otherwise did nothing.
Gore established the website for the White House, but otherwise did nothing.
Quayle tried to get congress more worried about asteroid impacts, but otherwise did nothing.
Bush turned the VP role into an advisory role.
Mondale laid the groundwork for Bush to turn the VP role into an advisory role by doing nothing.
Rockefeller attempted to take charge of domestic policy but was prevented by the then Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld who said that was stupid, and ultimately ended up doing nothing.
Ford did nothing, mainly because he didn't really have the time to do anything before Watergate happened, which saw him promoted to President.

she was appointed chief diplomatic officer with central american countries

her role was addressing the factors that make people leave their home countries, not managing the border.

Ive asked her to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border, Biden said

he sure did.

once again, you were told something by a grifter and believed it. instead of blindly believing everything you're told by them, you should be fact checking them.

but that would also involve you coming to the realization that you blindly believe every lie being told to you, and you can't have that can you.

The president has asked [Homeland Security] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas to address what is going on at the border. And he has been working very hard at that, and its showing some progress because of his hard work, Harris said at an event. I have been asked to lead the issue of dealing with root causes in the Northern Triangle, similar to what the then-vice president did many years ago.

Harris said shed focus on economic struggles, violence, corruption and food insecurity in the countries.

In June 2021, Harris visited El Paso, Texas, with Mayorkas. They outlined their responsibilities to reporters. Harris said she was addressing the root causes of migration, predominantly out of Central America, and Mayorkas said, It is my responsibility as the Secretary of Homeland Security to address the security and management of our border.

This is just standard 2 party politics.

You try to block everything the other party wants to do that can remotely be seen as good to the public then when the next elections come up loudly proclaim the other party hasn't done anything while the people suffered.

I'm not saying "only one party does this", BTW, this happens basically everywhere in the world where 2 parties vie for control of the government. They don't care if anything is actually done, only how they are perceived.

Your hint is something I think people could do with a lot more of, understanding WHY Trump won, other than just saying "only racists and extremist christians voted for him". From afar, I feel Harris didn't do as well a job communicating to the common person as well as Trump did. Someone like Obama did. He connected with the average person on the street. Obama would have won against Trump.
