How much do you expect "payback" to influence Democrat policy?

Can someone give me some examples of "payback" policies they think might be enacted? I'm going to save my vote on the poll until I think this through a little.

Lightman replies on Nov 5, 2020:

@TheMiddleWay Only Democrats put COVID top of their list... probably due to their Dear Leader's scare campaign, and blaming Trump for what is essentially bad management by Democrat states. Of course economies debt and deficit all over the world has been affected by the Pandemic. In the simplest terms, a trade deficit occurs when a country imports more than it exports. A trade deficit is neither inherently entirely good or bad. A trade deficit can be a sign of a strong economy and, under certain conditions, can lead to stronger economic growth for the deficit-running country in the future. The total deficit for goods and services for the same period in 2019 was $447.1 billion. Total exports are down 17.4% this year from 2019, while imports have declined by 12.4% as the coronavirus pandemic has sabotaged global commerce this year and disrupted global supply chains everywhere. The notion that bilateral trade deficits are bad in and of themselves is overwhelmingly rejected by trade experts and economists. For many economists, the current trade deficit has been scapegoated, and they argue that the trade deficit is not itself a problem for the U.S. economy. This means that the U.S. pays little for its foreign borrowing, allowing it to finance its high consumption at low cost, which boosts global demand. Under the Democrats the trade deficit will only grow as globalisation is one of their tenets not national sovereignty. https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-economy-tradefigures-idUSL1N2HP288 I think the US government has continuously had fluctuating public debt since 1789. Apparently only during the years 1835–1836, was there a period in which the US under the presidency of Andrew Jackson, was it completely paid off. So not unusual for the US and not unusual for other countries to have debt. In fact the Progressive Left in my country always insists of creating debt and spending spending spending. Which along with higher taxes will undoubtedly occur under the Democrats. don't say you weren't warned... airy fairy utopia, comes at a price...and it is usually not cheap. Most countries in times of low interest rates like now tend to not worry about the debt too much some even see it as a good time to borrow. According to articles in The Wall Street Journal and others, based on documents released on October 29, 2018 by the Treasury Department, the Department's new projection estimates that by the fourth quarter of the FY2018, it will issue c. $1.338 trillion in debt. This would be the highest debt issuance since 2010, when it reached $1.586 trillion. Wasn't that under Democrat President Barack Obama? You want to see debt and deficit look at ours after all it is a Global Pandemic right.

The problem...

Any suggestions as to how to emotionally prepare for the election?

@TimTuolomne ah no.... I'm backing facts not a political party or their plans for your constitution. In case you missed it "here" is Australia. People do not come here for our Constitution, our Constitution is very different to your and we do not have or need a Bill of rights. I doubt very much most of your immigrants know much at all about your constitution or have even read it before migrating. that was my point. They come to the US for a better life as they see it. Just as they do here. My original comment BTW, points out my politics and it would be very anti-Progressive in case you missed it.

I've been thinking a lot about the media Bias against Trump and its effectiveness, if most Americans believe this rubbish then Trump is in trouble. Why haven't Trump and the Republicans concentrated on all the good that Trump has done and refute the democrat lies in regards to them. Basically the media and Democrat attacks have been simply ORANGE MAN BAD... it is garbage. We hardly here any factual accounts of the good Trump has done here in Australia even the National broadcaster here is Anti-Trump. This morning they had a "NEVER TRUMP" guy on and he had no real reason to not vote for Trump except that he was a bad person... no facts just garbage. Shouldn't these "NEVER TRUMPERS" and people in the "LINCOLN PROJECT" simply call themselves the "BENEDICT ARNOLD CLUB"?

@JacksonNought Oh look someone else has noticed what I said... and you deny... "Despite the misleading headlines from most of the usual suspects… such as The Guardian, Huffington Post, Yahoo, and sadly the Business insider and their ilk. I did not urge President Donald Trump to declare martial law in the event that he lost the election. What I did say was that if there was overwhelming evidence of fraud, the president would be completely within his legal rights to implement the Insurrection Act, as well declaring Martial Law if the Democrats and they’re not very well disguised thugs step up the violence in America’s cities. For Americans, politically motivated violence in the streets is a stunning new development that requires stronger action by the government to protect the sanctity of an accurate election. It is not a surprise that these groups are planning election-day activities. That includes harassing voters at the polls as a form of intimidation, again exactly what they are falsely accusing us of right now."
