Do you think we see the same riots without DJT at the helm with a pathetic job after Floyd? Or that the companies that all sent out SJW messages do the same under an HRC presidency? He did nothing to try to unify and appease and everything to rile people up.

Do you think we'd have this many COVID-19 deaths under HRC with a more rational approach than the WH openly fighting the CDC and NIH? And we're not even close to the end of this.

I'm not saying I'd rather see HRC as president. I think a lot of other bad stuff would have happened. But I have a hard time looking past the shortfalls of both candidates.

Why would the rioting be any less under HRC? Was the rioting better or worse in Democrat run cities or states?
As far as companies are concerned, I’d think that a lot more would’ve bowed under pressure knowing that no-ones backing them.
And last, the virus, of course Trump made mistakes but which party said it was racist to block China from coming in? Imagine a corrupt politician at the helm, How much would you have to donate to the Clinton Foundation if your loved one needed a vent? Imagine what it would take to get a contract to produce test...

Wish there was a competent candidate that has morals. This country needs leadership from a moral person. Trump is absolutely not morally OK & Biden will not lead the country, it will be the unmoral AOC, Ilhan Omars of the world running the show behind the curtain.

I would say that the media and certainly social media can take the blame for the fact that we can’t have a normal candidate for president

Singapore pays ministers $2m/yr. USA should pay the president $100m/yr. You have to be insane to pursue public office in todays world of exposure, אין צדיק אשר יעשה טוב ולא יחטא, nobody can survive social media scrutiny. And no, being able to make money as a beggar with foundations and speeches isn't enough.

I guess electing a scumbag like Trump had nothing to do with lowering the bar.

If you are going to stereotype occupations how about we start with lawyers and CEO's?
Then we can move on to car and insurance salesmen.

I was initially going to include lawyers, but then felt it was too broad (it somewhat depends on the area of law practiced).

With CEOs I'm assuming you mean those of public companies, and they have the corporate boards aiding and abetting.

As for politicians and journalists, it's not about stereotyping, it's probably a required trait.

Does that make it easier sleeping at night believing that?

It's illegal in CA to ask if you're a citizen before providing emergency care (at a hospital). Illegal immigrants come in legally already sick, go to a hospital and get service. If (and that's most likely the case) the hospital isn't a county hospital that treats patients for free if they can't pay, the patient gets transferred to another hospital what can handle them. Now since each hospital gets money for each COVID case they have, each hospital claims a COVID case, meaning that there are really 2 cases reported for one person being sick. Sometimes they are in more than two hospitals, and often they get transported by very expensive means (helicopter, private ambulance) for miles upon miles (as the southernmost counties in CA are rather large), leaving the taxpayer responsible for those costs as well. Now that illegal immigrant may go back to Mexico when they're better, but whether they do or don't isn't the question at hand.
