@Marié telléz That is so funny. I voted for Hilary then I realized Trump did bring a big change to the U.S. and it was my first time feeling the real change and how POTUS matters. As an immigrant, the changes Trump brought made the health insurance more affordable, small family business to prosper, and less tax that we can invest in business again. I really don't understand why people follow Biden. Biden and Harris talks about "ideas", what can, what will, nothing solid. It really sounds like what I have been hearing back in Korean when pro-North Korean government has says things.

@GnoS Corruption IS politics . However at the moment Trump is the best bet. As he says 'I'm not a politician'. Biden is as corrupt and evil a kiddie sniffer as you could get.

I don’t agree with Zanny at all when she says that these days the Republican Party is the white working class party. That’s what they say but not what they do.. just like when the Republicans keep referring to the Democrats as the communists and the socialists. Does that make Clinton, Obama or Biden communists, Judy because of the Republicans invented narrative? So she buys into their rhetoric? All she needs to do is to look around the rust belt states and she’ll understand that the Republicans haven’t done a thing or two for white working class Americans. In addition, they were doing whatever they could to get rid of ACA which covers millions of poor working class Americans.. I can understand if these ordinary working class Americans fell for Trump’s sale pitch: that he was going to make America Great Again.. (talks are cheap) but nothing is further away from reality. They are much worse off now than they were five years ago.. Millions are being evicted or thrown out of their jobs precisely because Trump doesn’t care about ordinary- poor citizens..All the money and financial injections went to the banks and WS, not much went to help the millions threatened by evictions or losing the jobs…

Anyone imagine that the media would be calling it for Trump right now if the numbers were reversed?

The polls were part of a gaslighting strategy to prepare the American mind to accept what it knew by experience was not true. The enthusiasm and the turn out favored Trump. How to distract people from the ballot stuffing? Train them to accept a Biden victory before Election Day. Then threaten to ruin anyone that doesn’t believe you.

Get out on the streets and have masse demonstrations against corrupt gangsters like Bill Barr, trump and sons. The republicans are afraid of trump, gutless cowards, but trump and Barrare taking away our vote and democracy., and we are letting them. Organise and get out there and take your country back, show them who’s Boss.

Biden has not won presidency yet. Not even one state has given the certificate of confirmation of the vote counts. Biden is not an elect yet. Trump is questioning results now because it is the time for it. There are really serious allegations like votes by death, faulty software counting Trump's votes to Biden etc. Media are artificially hiperventilating Biden for you to believe it he won, but he hasn't yet

If the Supreme Court struck down the Affordable care act, 20 millions of people will lose their health care plan, and this will lead to a recession.
The Obama care act allowed 30 Million people to receive treatment, that lead to build hospitals, clinks, and hire people to run it, but if the Supreme Court struck down the Affordable care act, this will lead to close down many clinks, hospitals, will increase the cost of the medicine because of less demand and many people will lose their job in the health care field.
Also delaying the transition funds and resources for the president Joe Biden, will slow the recovery for the economy.
Also delaying the relief fund for the economy, could hurt our economy and as a result many people will get hurt.
People could get evicted, lose their house, lose their unemployment benefits, or lose their job.
Some low income people support their republican party, because their party is a Christian party does not support killing baby (abortion), but they do not see that somebody who may know could die from cancer disease because he does not have a health care cover

Joe Biden 's plan is to keep up the dismantling of the American economy. More factories moving to China.

Republicans are the party of sabotaging the working class while pretending they're all about protecting them. The people in this video are giving the GOP way too much credit.

Hi. How are you? @ Since Corona, ordinary daily life is more precious than ever. Now that it's winter, I hope there's no more damage.
