The biggest advantage of a Presidential candidates in a
democratic election is for the candidates not having to take
responsibility for any policy foul up after gaining office. Any wrong
move is up to the successor to have to correct or just kick the can
further down the road back to square one.
Look at the
homelessness and drug infestation problem that neither party, Democratic
or Republican honestly wants to address or even talk about during
campaigning. All they talk about is who is going to hit China harder,
who is going to send more money and weapons to Israel to commit more
genocide, who are the non-Whites going to support and why. Domestic
issues seem far apart from the minds of both candidates.
Look at
the gun laws for example that never gets to be amended despite all the
gloating after every shooting of action being taken. What does happen
are just cosmetic changes just to fool the public. The hold of the gun
lobby in Congress will make sure nothing ever changes. Have we heard of
the nonsense telling us that 'guns do not kill, humans do". Really?
Will four more years of Trump change anything? All I believe in is that any changes will be for the worse, not the better.

This is call 'kicking the can further down the road'. There are many things that the USA does which is just 'kicking the can further down the road' for the next successor to hopefully do something, but that is never going to happen.
Just like the US$35 trillion debt. Every new USA President is intent on outdoing his predecessor and piling on the debts and spending like no tomorrow to make themselves sound great. They have no responsibility to reduce the debt, and it is other people's business. Same with the homeless problem. Lots of talk and shifting the homeless people out of sight is no solution. They just returned to the same place to eat, shit and sleep as soon as the law departs. It will never be solved.
Now the USA has a big problem selling its debts or Treasuries. How long this is going to continue is uncertain. China is not going to buy any more treasuries going forward. China is in fact trying to get rid of the toxic Treasuries, touted to be the safest investment.
Japan has enough financial problem of its own and is also getting out of treasuries to save its Yen, now slipping into the sewers. If Japan cannot extricate itself from its economic malaise, we may live to see new Japanese banana notes version 2 in our lifetime.
