I have no idea why anyone would want another 4 years with either of these clowns from the incompetence that they have put on display.
You want to talk about hurting people's pocketbooks? A vote for Trump or Biden means that you like inflation. You WANT inflation. Because there were several Trump policies + appointees that led to the inflation we saw in the last few years....just like there were several Biden policies that contributed to it as well. The bad decisions from both administrations in aggregate really screwed over the average American.
What about the Trump tax increases? Why do Trump supporters always skip that topic? Trump decided to unilaterally raise everyone's taxes by implementing tariffs. And other than a few exceptions, Biden has decided to keep the Trump tax increases intact.
And I could go on and on.
Again, I have no idea why anyone would think that another 4 years of either Trump or Biden is good for America's future.

The nature of capitalism is that on average, there is a recession every 15 to 20 years. That pattern has repeated itself for well over 150 years, and it has happened regardless of whether or not there has been a liberal Democrat in the White House or a Conservative Republican in the White House. We have had recessions under liberal Democrats (Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama), and we have had recessions under conservative Republicans (Richard Nixon, George Bush, Sr.) We also had a stock-market crash in October of 1987 ...... that stock Market crash was not the fault of Ronald Reagan, and by the same token, the economic upswing in the early 1980's was not to his credit, either ...... both of these occurrences would have happened, regardless of what President was sitting in the oval office at the time.
In a nutshell, Emma Goldman summed it all up in one sentence ......
"If voting changed anything, they would make it illegal."
For a more contemporary take on this premise, George Carlin opined ......
"This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit that they shuffle around every 4 years doesn’t mean a fuckin’ thing."
