The US is quarantined because of COVID, and they aren't issuing new passports right now.

    So as COVID continues to spike and the economy continues to crumble should Trump win, or if American democracy ceases to be, it's not my skin on the line. It's yours. Which is why people are pointing out the cuckoldry in Americans voting for Trump when they are unable to escape him.
    So you wanted chaos in America but if things go sour you will piss off.

    My favorite part is how in Trump’s worker economy, the unemployment rate seems to be counter parallel to Wallstreet. Trump has achieved the dream of every worker in America... your employment has no negative impact on Wallstreet... celebrate good times... ‘comon... it’s celebration time...

    I as a gay man would not feel safe under a second Trump term for the same reasons a Jewish person would not feel comfortable under a Hitler chancellery.

    The term is "emigre".

    Piss off where? At the rate countries are banning US travel, we won’t have that option. We are the plague capital of the world.

    Dude... anyone that has ever worked a working class job a day in their life, could do better than Trump. I’m also not sure what you mean by “poof”...

    Yes, Biden... a man who busted his ass from middle class to being a vote away from president. Not a man with a silver spoon in his mouth acting...

    Real Americans don’t leave when their candidate loses... that’s logic of a “better Russian than democrat” Trump supporter. I’m assuming every Trump supporter saying as much, will leave for Russia if he loses or in 4 years?

    Why would I flee one rat's nest of religious extremists for another? Evangelicals are just as bad as radical Islamists.

    Because that’s the Trump supporter plan, if a democrat wins... just with Russia...

    You had Obama as president for 8 years surely you could demonstrate something that Obama or the democrats did that was good for the working class?

    The low unemployment numbers that Trump proceeded to balloon?

    By your metrics, I don't regard employment as a marker of health because it's FIRE wankery.

    really? the Dems and Obama are bad, but at least they can look at things like Obamacare and say they did something for working class people. at the very least a step in the right direction.

    Pandemic response team and ACA... making banks pay back their bail out, with interest. Consumer protection agency and pay roll tax cut. Those are just a few differences from Trump. Under Obama unemployment went from double digits, to a bit over 4%. Trump’s went from under 3% to nearly 15%... while still fucking up pandemic response. But, Wallstreet looks good...
