It's tough to tell. Will Trump get political credit for, you know, sending people $2,000 and such in their time of greatest need or will the public ask themselves whether they're better off today than they were four years ago? I...dunno. The historical record would seem to suggest the latter. Then again, Boris Johnson won in a (technical) landslide over the UK last December in the middle of an economic downturn (albeit a far less severe one), so hey, who knows how gullible people are? It just goes to show that you've gotta remind people of how exactly our particular covid-19 crisis here in the United States got this bad in the first place.

It also helps to point out that President Trump also feels that the hotel industry needs a bailout. I wonder why that might be, and why that too seems to be an equally compelling priority for this administration.

I hope people aren't gullible enough to fall for it a second time. My anxiety has gotten to me big time because of all this shit happening. Hopefully Biden can pull himself together long enough to win the general. We progressives can work with Biden to enact some change, we can't work with Trump. A second term with him would be disastrous for the American people and the planet.

There's a difference between falling for the fake populism and seeing how things are being handled. Trump and the republicans are literally outflanking the democrats on the left with this issue while people like pelosi and schumer are trying this nonsensical means tested nonsense. People are going to remember who helped them in this crisis and who was too busy in neoliberal land.

Fake populism is one thing, but when you're enacting real solutions and especially if they end up working, he'll easily win re-election. Especially because "progressives" are pissed at the dem party, dem exit2020 is going to be bigger than 2016 and I've seen lots of people who sucked it up and voted for hillary in 2016 come out and say they refuse in 2020.

The only way Biden wins is if Trump royally screws up from this point on, and that's the last thing we want considering how many lives are at stake. But on to the last 2 sentences you said, Biden has been in there for 40 years, has been on the wrong side of history all this time, has had worse positions than trump, has literally said he would Veto M4A (and no his weasel talking points are a cover he litterally said it), his cabinet looks like a typical wall street loving business as usual one and you think he'll even remotely work with the left? Both Trump and Biden wont do that, just because someone has a D next to their name doesn't make them better than the guy with the R. If we went based off of policy alignment, both Biden and Trump would literally be in the same party.
