Actually vast majority of Americans actually think these states are making a mistake. Like undeniable majorities. 65% oppose opening restaurants. 85% oppose opening schools.
"Bigger picture" lol Funny how the "bigger picture" is different for everyone apparently
The vast majority of Americans want to still stay in lockdown. When will people learn that Twitter and Facebook =/= real life.
Yeah nah, that's not even a picture I own, let alone a bigger picture.
Spoken like someone privileged enough to not have to worry about the impact of 4 more years.
It's good that people know, anyway, both candidates to presidency are alledged rapists so at this point, as fucked up as that sounds, you just gotta pick the lesser evil of the two and that's Biden by a hundred miles.
I'm not even sure there would be another round of stay-at-home orders if the virus has a second wave. I have very little faith in our elected officials. For example, here in Ohio, Mike DeWine started out with a strong response to the virus. I didn't vote for him and I don't support him, but I was impressed with the speed of his response and his reliance on medical experts to guide his decisions. But lately, he's wavered and shown he's not above bowing to right-wing protests and demands. If things get bad again, I'm not sure he would react with the same quickness; I don't think a lot of people would go along with another lockdown either.
Or we realize we have been left with a crap choice and one of those choices is way more disastrous than the others and already has done a shitload of damage and things absolutely will not get better and will only get worse if he and the gop get elected in. You aren't going to get the change you want under the gop or trump. Not that Biden is great but less likely to at least not move in an even worse direction. Maybe wait until we don't have a candidate that will absolutely fuck uo this country first? You really think helping trump win (and yes, not voting or voting for some one who has no chance against trump absolutely helps him) will do anything productive?
lol
Over/Under on the number of Chairman Mao replies in 24 hours?
The second could potentially be worse. That would really fuck things up with no lockdown.
Anyone thinking it's just 4 more years can't see the forest for the trees. If Trump stacks the courts for another 4 years, it will be the death knell for progressive politics for the next thirty or forty years no matter which progressive you'd be willing to vote for in five years time.
I thought most people already had mortgage relief? Aren't there several threads on this? Do landlords not qualify?
Rent relief is a great idea, but announcing the initiative at the end of the month isn't going to help many people tomorrow.

I tried to google a meme to post but I'm not sure any of them could be posted here.
The point is, no more landlords, society has moved past the need for landlords.
Is Biden actually left leaning or is he just throwing the left a few bones before the elections so as not to split their base?
I got a plan!
vote for Biden in November then ask him to step down in January and let his VP replace him
This doesn't go far enough. You need a rent and a mortgage freeze. Can't do rent without freezing mortgages.
He is not left-leaning in any way, shape, or form, and he'll give some token policies to the left in order to try and placate them to show up in November.
With what leverage? This is magical thinking.

You could just check his platform... which is what matters going into an election...

The dude is a 80s/90s centrist Democrat. He might throw the left a few bones but he isn't going to push for any major left legislation.

When will he call for a nationwide call to Believe Women?
I hope so, my mom has some rental properties and one her tenants pretty much taunted her about "kick us out" when they didn't pay the rent, knowing that she wouldn't be able to evict them.
The guy's accused of rape and will likely be president in less than a year. Of course every thread about him is going to have this cloud over it. People are going to take shots at Biden for the next 4 years if elected. It will be a stark contrast the Obama threads from 2008-2017 where there was a regular air of optimism and positivity.
He will be the furthest left general election candidate Democrats have ever run. He's left of Clinton's 2016 run who was well to the left of Obama
Biden being ousted after winning the office is unlikely, but the idea of him stepping down, either of his own will or because the party forces him too, is honestly even less likely so I guess you'd rather have Trump? Or do you think after 4 more years of Trump people will finally "come to their senses" and realize Republican policies are shit despite the fact that this strategy has provably not worked in 2016, or really any other situation like this because " burning it down" fundamentally doesn't work, because tumultuous times don't make the masses crave radical progressive change, it makes them crave familiarity and stability
He wants a violent revolution. Fought by other people, I assume.
You and I remember the Obama years very differently, especially once the GoP took back congress...
He's always been about a step left of the party consensus overall. It's not uniform across issues because no candidate is.
Careful here. I know the reaction to landlords inevitably turns to Reign of Terror flashbacks on the internet, but there's a lot of long term damage to missing middle housing stocks that can happen if landlords go underwater on smaller multifamily units and convert to renting out single family homes because they can be sold to non-renters once leases are up. And those units will go underwater vs. their underlying property value if no one wants to buy them if the risk of getting a renter who can't pay and can't be evicted is too high due to the regulatory environment.
You deserve it for thinking that way. I don't deserve any more of it. Speak for yourself.
Can we not have another thread just turn into a Biden is a rapist so you shouldn't vote/you need to vote for him anyway thread. And like...actually discuss the topic on hand?
Yeah, shit got dark after the 2010 mid-term elections. But people were still very much positive about the man--Obama--himself. I doubt there will be nearly that level of positivity surrouding Biden because: 01.) He doesn't have Obama's charisma, and 02.) You know, that rape allegation hovering over his head.
The candidate is a likely rapist. That's kind of a big deal. I don't see how you can stop people from bringing it up. If you don't want to talk about it, don't respond to it.
Rather than round 1,223,971 of "Rapist" vs. "If you don't vote for him you must love Trump" maybe we could talk about the politics and policy of this.
As policy, it's nothing, since the federal government doesn't have the power to do this.
It's pretty good politics, though. Hopefully it will force Trump to respond, and this is one area where his populist streak might not prevail rhetorically since he is probably more sympathetic to landlords than tenants.

Can we not have posters that try to downplay serious allegations?
