2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Day-um.. and here I was thinking they'd crash given a communist had taken over..

Financial markets around the world have received a marked boost in the wake of Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential election, with Japanese shares hitting their highest level for nearly three decades and oil prices also climbing.

Stock prices in Europe and New York were also expected to rise sharply on Monday after the president-elect pledged to try to bring unity to the US after four tumultuous years under the Trump administration.

"But but but muh bad eccomey beacuse demicrat wins!1111"- /pol/ reacting to this news, probably.

[Albrenia]

Gotta laugh when I hear people call Biden a communist.

I'm more of a communist than he is, and I am not a communist.

That's unfortunate.

Except the government's not openly arresting people for the color of their skin and publicly executing them. At least in the US such victims have somewhat of a chance at justice. In Saudi Arabia you'd just be "another one for the pile" and no one would give a shit.

Regardless it's still enough for me to despise the country so much that I no longer want to associate myself with it.

Ok, but I prefer the US any day over an autocratic monarchy that punishes LGBT people with death.

We all have different opinions.

Feel free to leave.

Okay, but why not a country that won't murder you? Like Ireland?

I hope you are able to find somewhere to live which you would be proud to call home.

Move to Riyadh then. No one is stopping you

Making money is communist now. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Feel free to leave.

I definitely plan to within the next couple of year. And revoke my citizenship as well.

Personal reasons that I can't disclose.

How about we not encourage people to do stupid things?

Good luck, you'll need lots of it as a gay man in Saudi Arabia.

There are personal reasons forcing you to move to a country that is objectively worse in every single way?

No doubt Trump will claim credit.

Well, he wouldn't be entirely wrong. Him leaving is the reason for the jump.

Saudi Arabia may not be where I end up, but it's on the list of the 194 other sovereign nations I'd rather be in.

Yes. How I handle my life is my business.

[Xanthal]

you do need a couple of things.. a leadership that sets an example, wears masks, encourages everyone else to and avoids large enclosed gatherings. More importantly you need a population who are willing to make such sacrifices for the sake of everyone else.

I'm not going to deny Trump's role in making things worse, but in fairness to him there's this thing in America where anytime anybody says to do anything, a very loud minority will always respond with, "screw you, you're not the boss of me!"

I actually thought the GIF froze for a few seconds. I was ready to blame Spectrum yet again.

If he want's to leave the US and move to countries objectively worse in every way, it's not our job to talk him out of it.

Then stop posting about how god awful the US is and how Arabia would be better.

Honestly the tendency go think of America as this absolutely desolate dystopia is just disgusting when you consider the suffering endemic to places like Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Congo and many many others.

And on top of that, no one was encouraging me anyway.

We all see the world in different ways, I guess. Mine is my own and yours is yours.

I'm having G.W.-era flashbacks.

Markets are really hyped for President Biden because it means more stimulus checks for big business. I'm not even lying, there was a WSJ article about this.

If Hayek was alive today he would pull a Cato and kill himself.

I think they're more hyped about there being the stability of a establishment president with a congress and court that can keep him in check.
That and they're reacting to the good 3rd quarter reporter and the fact that we should see a vaccine for covid in the next quarter.
