What if Biden wins in 2020?

Well, first of all, Biden is an empty suit, so someone else would be running the country. The Obama/Clinton/Pelosi gang? Deeper into the swamp, the deep state and transnationals? Whoever would be in charge would LOVE Biden to be President because he wouldn't have an independent thought in his head. He would never travel the globe or speak with other foreign heads of state. He would never hold live press conferences. Everything would be pre-recorded in five-second sound bites.
But I digress.
All of the investigations into the political corruption of our security agencies would be shitcanned, as well as any investigation of Biden's and the Clintons' financial corruption.
More importantly, the Democrats would use the oppty to solidify their hold on power inDC. Make DC the 51st state? Offer instant citizenship to illegal immigrants? Change voting rules? Get rid of the electoral college?
What would they DO with that power?
Well, there are some things for sure they wouldn't do:
They wouldn't institute single payer because they're just as beholden to big pharma, hospital corporations, and insurances as Republicans, maybe more so.
They would never re-industrialize the USA bc the Obama/Clinton/Pelosi wing of the party has been pushing for offshoring American jobs as long as establishment Republicans. After all, how would Apple make its unconscionable profits if it had to assemble its phones in the USA?
They wouldn't REALLY reduce the wealth gap (altho they might make a show of it) because their donors belong to the international elites, who they don't want to piss off or drive away.
They WOULDN'T be able, or even willing, to fix Covid-19-induced economic problems.
The would probably want another bite of the Syrian/Libyan/Ukrainian/Iranian apples because it didn't go the way they planned. But because Russia and China would be standing in the way of their plans, hostility towards the other major powers would also increase. BTW, "interventions" would be framed as "humanitarian" bombings.
They would probably want to revitalize NATO, but the EU itself may not welcome such a move- Germany in particular.
And while the USA may want to "re-set" its relationships with major powers, it's unlikely to bear much fruit. Even if the people behind Biden want to institute the JPCOA with Iran, it will not cause Iran to undo the $400 BILLION dollar deal that it just inked with China, and neither China nor Russia are likely to succumb to the blandishments of the internationalists. (Russia because it knows better, and China because the 2008 collapse opened their eyes to the fact that, no, the western economy really DOESN'T know what it's doing.) The only wildcard in this sphere is India.
OH, AND REPORTING ON COVID-19 WOULD CHANGE DRAMATICALLY. The facts on the ground woudn't change, but you wouldn't get that drumbeat of statistics. I think the press would wind up ignoring the story.
So, since life-altering economic, healthcare, or foreign policy changes are not in the wind, what WILL the DNC do?
Well, my guess is that it will focus on identity politics morning, noon, and night. There will be all kinds of drama and meaningless concessions and speeches by politicians wearing kente cloth, and they and their base will try to outdo each other in "purity" tests: who can be the least racist/sexist/*ist and the most pure?
It will be like something after the French revolution and the Reign of Terror, except instead of losing their heads people will lose their reputations and their jobs.
After four years of totally meaningless and pointless drama, nothing will be better than before.
I got some of those ideas from here

My thoughts on Biden are none too kind. I would be really unhappy if he was president and the globalists were filling his empty suit.

Why don't you try writing 'What if Trump wins?' an essay about GOP flaws.

Every Legacy Media story 24/7 for the last going on 4 years wasn't enough for you, huh?
That's okay. When Trump wins in November you'll get 4 more of them.

Quote:What would Signym write on the GOP that matches what she wrote on the Democratic Party? "It will be like something after the French revolution and the Reign of Terror, except instead of losing their heads people will lose their reputations and their jobs." Compared to guillotining, Signym softened the ending of that sentence since a million people routinely lose their jobs, not lives, every week in Trump's misgoverned America.

Our current president is a stable genius. He said so, himself.

The problem some here have, sig kiki Jack and so on, is that they are trying to label Joe Biden as being something his decade’s long service proves to be untrue. I’ll elaborate. Every negative liberal, progressive, empty shirt label they try to hang on Joe is proven wrong by his decade’s long record. A record most Americans are aware shows him to be anything but.
This is nothing more than a failed strategy. Think not, just look at Trumps drastically shrinking support. Biden leads by double digits. So, to all you trolls who think I may find your posts troubling I would say. As long as you continue to post about Biden’s Ukrainian or China ties, his liberal tendencies or the Clintons, I smile.
This means Joe’s support will continue to increase as Trumps continues to fall. It’s soothing to see you guys post a losing stratagem again and again. And, my asinine friends, as Trump goes, so goes the Senate.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

What if Trump wins?

Two trends will continue:
(1) The rise of Donald Trump represents a radical transformation of the Republican party and American conservatism.
(2) Everything Trump has done is a continuation of long-established Republican policy and practices.
In trying to find a way to understand this, I was struck by the idea that the concept of a phase transition (such as from liquid to gas, or dissolved solid to crystal) in physics and chemistry might be a useful metaphor. I didn’t get past high-school in science, so I may well use the metaphor inaccurately – I’m sure commenters will feel free to set me straight.
To develop the metaphor, think of the Eisenhower-era Republican party as a complicated mixture of many dissolved ingredients, in which the dominant element was the business establishment, and the Trump era party as a crystallized mass of plutocratic economics, racism and all-round craziness. The development over the 60 years between the two has consisted of keeping the mixture simmering, while adding more and more appeals to racial animus and magical thinking (supply-side economics, climate denial, the Iraq war and so on). In this process various elements of the original mix have boiled off or precipitated out and discarded as dregs. Stretching the metaphor a bit, I’m thinking of boiling off as the process by which various groups (Blacks and Northeastern liberal Republicans in the 20th Century, liberaltarians more recently) have left the Republican coalition in response to its racism and know-nothingism. The dregs that have precipitated out are ideas that were supposed to be important to Republicans (free trade, scientific truth, classical liberalism, moral character and so on) that turned out not to matter at all.
Trump’s arrival is the seed crystal that produces the phase change. The final product of the reaction emerges in its crystallized form, and the remaining elements of the mixture are discarded.
