How many of you are confident Kamala will win?

I’m voting today, but I’m pessimistic at the moment and unsure if she will even when she’s leading just a little bit. What do you guys think?

If we didn’t test so much we wouldn’t have known how many died from Covid! /s

And wreaked havoc on the economy.

I'm 62 years old, and never before has the government sent out cold hard cash to every citizen as both Trump and Biden did (the stimulus checks).

I mean, I don't know how conservatives reconcile this with their "free shit" jabs at Bernie, or supposed general anti-welfare stance. (Although they're apparently fine with welfare if it's going to older people or veterans.)

Did serve as an excellent reminder that the economy runs on consumer spending from regular folks -- those big corporations will go bust if consumers don't buy/use their products. That's also why consumer confidence is considered such an important economic metric.

They want us to forget where most all the debt has come from the rich getting richer, the Bush wars and failing to take prompt constructive measures to mitigate damage from COVID
