That's very fair. Democrats need to earn the trust of voters.


All the talk about invoking the nuclear option, adding states to bolster their Senate majority and stacking the Supreme Court did them no favors in this regard if you ask me.

That's one thing where the Biden campaign low-key did a really good job: not scaring or upsetting the persuadable center-right but trump-wary swing voters who were looking for a palatable alternative to the president. Bernie would have caused a lot of them to stick with Trump.

they will do that with a proposed nationwide lockdown mandate, nationwide mask mandate, and they will enforce this by defunding the police

A nationwide lockdown mandate is a pipe dream anyway. Most GOP governors will just tell the federal government to fuck off, end of story.

Basically this.

Joe has said the entire time he's going to have to work with governors to get things done. He didn't just say that to be politically correct, he said it because he understands the separation of powers lol

It will still make a difference when the president encourages mask wearing instead of actively undermining the advice of health experts.
And a Biden administration should be more trustworthy han a Trump administration at rolling out a vaccine once it becomes available.

Covid is the one area where even a committed Trump supporter like myself has to acknowledge that Biden will be far better...

no he doesn’t, he flip-flopped several times. his team and courts had to remind him nationwide mask mandates and shutdowns are Unconstitutional

yeah of course but this doesn’t matter much to (D)s, they will just try and get the USSC to call nationwide mandates for masks and shutdowns ‘a tax’ like they did with the free affordable universal healthcare act

My spider senses tell me the 6-3 conservative SCOTUS will have none of it...

its 5-4 right now, so it just takes one crossover vote. the 6-3 is a fallacy because the chief justice is the guy who called the free affordable universal health care act a tax

Roberts likes to go to Democrat parties in DC so he has to give the wrong decision and call it "moderation" so that he still gets invited to the scum parties.
