Its pretty obvious theres a large part of our population engaged in magical thinking and wont believe any of this till it happens to them or their family. At the rate we are going soon everyone will know someone who have gotten sick. And the economic impacts have really not shown up in the magnitude thats coming.

It is so essential that Biden win this election. If Trump tries to steal it, or somehow successfully steals it, I think that might finally be the thing that pushes this country over the edge. I shudder to think. Donald, just fucking go. Go the fuck away. Quit this fucking crap. Hey, how about a LIVE in primetime address from the Oval, where Donny pulls out a handgun and ends it all?!?! Would be the best ratings ever!!
This is how fucked up things are these days.

I curse him to rot painfully in hell for eternity and beyond.
The Country has never needed anyone like it needs Joe.

(3,017 posts)Why, exactly, do you want them included? Do you think it's because their cases exceed ours? Some last grasp to protect some ideal of American exceptionalism, a way to say that 'Well, at least we don't have the most cases!'.
India is at 1.1 M cases. Far below our numbers - And thats before accounting for their having almost 4x the population to boot!
China is at 83k cases. With again, having far more people in their country than we do. Still though, doesn't matter how many cases they have - Everyones just going to call their numbers fake, no matter what they are.
Our country fucked up. I get it, some people don't want to admit to that shame. But Joe Biden has the decency to admit to our countries stunning failure, and we should follow his example.

In the not too distant future, we will look upon these current times as the good times.
