Green Balloons 496 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 9 minutes ago, SoBeDad said: The last 2 Democrats brought us out of recessions, while the last 3 Republicans left during recessions. This fear mongering about socialism and the economy under democrats is not supported by recent facts. Biden has a day-1 plan to help the economy, which includes clean energy infrastructure and giving the Dreamers a path to citizenship. More to come. What is Trump's day-1 plan for the economy, which is now the #1 concern for voters. More tax cuts for the rich? He'll let you know in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This does some serious damage to the ratio of CNN’s giant death ticker. Even if we figure that number is 10x what the current number of cases is, the death rate would still be 0.45%. If everyone in the US were to contract it, even with that death rate we’d be looking at close to 1.5M deaths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that...whatever doesn't kill you...makes you stronger!! ...and...as you see the infection rate skyrocket...the death rate will go down.. If they estimate that approximately 2 million have it now....it is probably closer to 20 million. If the death rate is currently .45% with 2 million infected...if that number was 20 million, the death rate would be .045. In order to keep that death rate higher...those infected estimates must be kept lower. Edited July 5, 2020 by Opie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep seeing/hearing this - but I am struggling to see the similarities. This race really is nothing like the 2016 race. In 2016 it was 20+ years of public politician Clinton v. unknown politician Trump (yes Trump was widely known, but how he would perform as an elected official was an unknown). That is no longer true in 2020 - you have two candidates where the public has ample evidence on how they are as politicians. In 2016, you had a lot of people - from across the political spectrum - who really disliked Hillary Clinton. In 2020, there is not the same animosity towards Biden. Even people who don't like his political positions generally don't hate Biden, the way people hated Clinton. In 2016 the election was between Clinton and Trump - people had to choose sides. Stick with the politician they did not like, or go with the Celebrity they were not sure about. In 2020 there is one one issue in play - do you want 4 more years of President Trump? Biden is really just a placeholder, and is one reason why none of Trump's attacks are resonating. There are very few people who will vote who don't already know how they feel about President Trump. Those who want 4 more years are not going to be swayed by anything Biden offers, and those that want Trump out are not going to be swayed by any Trump advertising. The election is not final, but the margin for error here is shrinking quickly as the electorate firms up their views. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
