    You should never have had to pay for your cancer treatment in the first place. That's how life should have got better for you and that's why men like Trump are never really on your side.

    Dude I grew up Poor on welfare, and was homeless starting out in life, I have struggled all my life, and it's because I struggled often times needlessly I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    As to people losing their jobs, a lot more people will lose their jobs and life if we don't get this pandemic under control, factories and business is business society changes. I mean we don't make buggy whips anymore, and it wouldn't matter if manufacturing buggy whips employed people, nobody needs or wants a buggy whip.

    Meanwhile when other countries are leading us in education and innovation, we can say we use our resources to keep the buggy whip factory going. Traditionalism of this kind of a death sentence for any kind of future for anyone.

    Wouldn't you rather have a system that looks out for you and doesn't throw you under the bus as soon as your material situation worsens?

    Well rest assured that your friends will be better off in a Biden America than a Trump America.

    I’m guessing your friends were not liberals to make them cry? Are they losing their jobs because Trump can’t handle his hotels being closed, so he lied to them? Have they had troubles visiting their loved ones in the hospital?

    I’m also interested in the treatment of cancer and how it relates to Trump stealing healthcare from millions... including those with cancer... guessing those Americans are also not your friends?

    The taxes thing is just frustrating, because it was marginal for the middle class. Unless you were paying the mandate, which doesn’t make sense with cancer, middle class lost in taxes. One of the prices for the massive corporate tax cut, was middle class losing a large portion of deductibles. Pay didn’t go up to explain it either...

    Media polling was election interference, in the truest sense of that word by powerful special interests. These, really, phony polls ... were designed to keep our voters at home, create the illusion of momentum for Mr. Biden and diminish republicans ability to raise funds. They were what’s called suppression polls
    -- Trump, on FOX News

    Just a second, I'm sure I can find...got it!

    Fox News Poll: Biden's lead over Trump narrows slightly to 8 points

    At time of said poll's publication, 538 had a running aggrevage of about 9%.

    Trump just accused FOX News of voter suppression, on FOX News.

    Also, if that's voter suppression, what did he and his Russian friends do in 2016? If fake bad polls are voter suppression, wouldn't "Clinton had a stroke" qualify?

    And yes, I saw the Georgia thing. Biden leads by 1,000 with 54,000 left in play. The state's a literal coin flip and Trump still has legal, and illegal, actions left to play.

    At this point, for Biden to win, he has to basically run the table. Yes, this is unfair, but this follows Trump's own game plan. Call it SCOTUS suppression. Flipping one state because Trump appointed them is one thing, but five is too much.

    Same as xenophobes/racist everywhere. These people will destroy their own healthcare if it means the dirty immigrant will loose it too.

    So yeah, we also have some trump fans. As with most right-wing and/or racist/xenophobes. Oh and conspiracy nutters, because they hate mainstream news and the EU?

    You're being entirely too pessimistic. The numbers are there. The likelihood that Biden will win PA, GA, and NV is extremely high, based on the nature of the votes remaining to be tallied. AZ is less certain, but it doesn't matter at that point.

    We're looking at a likely 306/232 EC victory, or a slightly less likely 295/243 EC victory for Biden.

    The vast majority of Military ballots were already counted in GA. There are like no more votes for Trump to get in GA.

    Considering how 2020 was, the end of the failed experiment of "conspiracy theory populist proto-fascism" is the best news yet.
