Direction, leadership....nada.

Percentage of cases requiring hospitalization is 17.1%, with 5.5% of cases resulting in death. Here's an article about how more men are dying from COVID-19 than women although the article doesn't mention the rates in Canada: https://globalnews.ca/news/6738088/coronavirus-deaths-men/ Edited April 30, 2020 by Jacquie

J5V Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 The problem with Hillary is, she had it in the bag ... until she didn't. How in the world did she not manage that? I think the world still reels in shock when they realize who the prez is.

For every negative thing you can name for HRC, I can easily give you a litany of the same **** trump has done. A little story from summer of 2016, we have a store in MN and I was visiting the staff there in July 2016 while the Democratic Convention was on. We have staff from both sides of the isle and they were constantly at each other about this or that. In an effort to smooth things down and get everyone more focused on work we had a discussion about the pros and cons of each. In the end the consensus was this. If Clinton and Trump were the best people that could be convinced to lead those parties the USA was fugged. Reasonable people in the USA knew that this period was going to be hard on the nation, they were just at a loss as to what to do about it. They knew then that by 2020 the nation would be a very divided and acrimonious place. Mark H., Wanna-B-Fanboy and blue_gold_84 3
17to85 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 There was nothing wrong with hillary clinton.... she just wasn't inspiring and would have been more of the same old same old. Trump was the outsider. Too bad people are too stupid to know that he only played a successful businessman on tv In reality he is a failure and wannabe mob boss. Us got what they deserved it's just too bad it's ******* the rest of the world too.
Tracker Posted April 30, 2020 Report Posted April 30, 2020 What sank Hillary was that the majority of Democrats really wanted Bernie, but the party bosses moved heaven and earth in order to stack the deck against him, as they thought he was too left-wing, even though he was polling well. The Democrats who supported Bernie were bitterly disappointed and went silent, ensuring Trump's win. Even so, it took an intervention by their electoral college to overrule the popular vote, which was bizarre to say the least.

Even so, it took an intervention by their electoral college to overrule the popular vote, which was bizarre to say the least. As much as I prefer Bernie to Hillary, this just isn't true. Yes, the primary process had problems, but the margin of her victory was large enough. Despite what social media suggests today, most people in those heady days of 2016 were still centrists and I suspect that is still the preference today, despite the rhetoric. Bernie Bros that either voted for Trump out of spite or sat out the election are either too stupid or too immature to realize that progress is slow when done peacefully and that the Republicans are more than willing to move things backwards. Bernie has successfully shifted policy discussion to the left and that is great. Democrats were afraid to label themselves as "liberal" less than 10 years ago, but now some are getting elected as Democratic Socialists. That's progress. I actually think that the U.S. can afford what he's proposing, but it's going to take a while to get there. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1
