Like raising taxes on the rich? Being a leader in slowing climate change? Going big on infrastructure? Unlike trump whose policies did nothing for the middle class and the poor...... "Working-class voters who look a little deeper will notice something strange about their perceived champion: He is against unions. His first Supreme Court pick, Neil Gorsuch, helped erode the ability of unions to collect dues and fees in a landmark case. Another strange thing: The Trump administration's interim trade deal with China focuses far more on opening up the Chinese banking and insurance sectors than on creating blue-collar jobs". Also, Trump's 2017 tax cut favoured corporations and shareholders — including those who aren't American citizens. Money that would have flowed into the U.S. Treasury went instead into their pockets and deep bank accounts. The companies used much of it to buy back their own stock, making their owners richer, instead of hiring and training new workers or increasing pay. The buybacks were so shameless that even Trump couldn't defend them. Trump is either incompetent or he's a Trojan horse who used blue-collar workers to get into the White House, only to hand over the keys to the 1%. Now that the Trump administration is trying to kill the Affordable Care Act, which millions of people depend on in the middle of a pandemic, it could not be more clear whose side he is on.

The Trump administration is rushing through new rules in case he loses. One of those rules would make it easier for employers to legally treat defacto employees as contractors. So they would enjoy far few rights, less protection, and lower pay. The conservative justices on the Supreme Court have a mostly horrendous record when it comes to corporations vs. workers. Well, horrendous if you're on the side of workers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get them to vote against their own self-interest. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read a report that even though the Trump administration is supporting the case to declare Obamacare invalid, his supporters still don't believe that he is trying to get rid of effective coverage of pre-existing conditions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the fact that in accordance with the guidelines established by Trump own White House Covid advisory committee, Biden is not holding mass rallies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
