People keep talking about the forthcoming recession in terms of politics, instead of as a humanitarian catastrophe that'll exacerbate an already horrible economic situation.
The only political calculus to make is which candidate grasps the severity and has a plan to remedy it.
The whole "Clever Trump is crashing the economy for a Dem successor" take is asinine.
First, Trump doesn't plan on leaving. Second, he's crashing it for his disaster capitalist cohort so they can continue stripping the US and selling it for parts while reducing citizen power.
Trump told you he wanted to crash the economy repeatedly and that he has enjoyed and benefited from previous recessions. Here's one example from 2014:
The person best equipped to deal with this economic crisis, in my view, is Warren. She predicted previous crises, grasps the depth of corruption, has concrete structural plans.
But whoever your candidate is, make sure they see the future clearly, without ego or false hope.

Blinken was always a terrible pick for Sec of State due to his family ties to Israeli espionage and organized crime. His stepfather Samuel Pisar was the best friend and lawyer of Robert Maxwell -- the criminal Israeli "superspy" who was Ghislaine Maxwell's father.
Robert Maxwell died in 1991 and was given an elaborate Israeli state funeral. Pisar, allegedly the last person to see Maxwell alive, became Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.
I've gone over the Maxwell family history many times, but here is an excerpt of HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT with key details:
When I learned Biden had selected Blinken for Sec of State, I was horrified. Even if Blinken were an honorable man -- which he is not -- it is too easy to compromise someone raised by the best friend of one of Israel's most notorious spies and mafiosos.
Tweet from March 2018. I still think this is the crux of what's happening. Assumed it would play out under Trump, not Biden. But it's one continuous agenda, with recurring actors.
Another tweet from 2018. Worth considering as the Biden admin lets Ukraine down, dragging that war out while prioritizing Israel. Upon Trump's reinstallation, this will turn into straightforward support of the Kremlin.
The people to look at most to see where this headed are Netanyahu, Kushner, and their broader network in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and the US. Look for overlap and at people installed to ensure elite criminals thrive. Among them, Merrick Garland:
Imagine if in 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, Netanyahu was recorded without his knowledge bragging that “America is a thing you can move very easily” and that a video of this is online:
FFS we’ve known about Trump’s Hitler fandom since 1990, when Vanity Fair reported on it. That’s 34 years ago, people! archive.vanityfair.com/article/share/…
It should chill you that Biden and the DNC don’t understand why the average Dem voter is horrified by the mass slaughter of 25000 civilians and in particular, 13000 children.
That objecting to child murder is so unfathomable to them that they think it’s is an op is revealing.
Before you “but Hamas” my mentions, the average Dem voter also finds the murder and kidnapping of 1200 civilians in Israel horrifying.
Which is why they don’t want more carnage carried out, with their tax dollars, on a massive scale against Palestinians who didn’t do anything!
Trump built his political cult by convincing some Americans that acts of cruelty and corruption were justified and should be applauded. He got his kicks from getting ordinary people to back atrocities they would have once opposed — especially when it was to show fealty to him.
Johnson is a religious fanatic who believes God appointed him to serve Israel. He has met with the Kahanists — the most extremist sect of Israel’s govt — more than any US pol except Jim Jordan. His moves toward other countries should be viewed through this lens, not separately.
Israel and Russia have long worked closely together. Oligarchs from the former USSR with multiple citizenships, including Israeli, fund the US Congress. Mafia ties, religious fanaticism, and kleptocracy bind the worst of these countries together and annihilate US sovereignty.
Many Russia experts have chosen to utterly ignore this relationship, even though the first arrest in the Trump admin was about illicit deals between Kushner, Flynn and Russia concerning Netanyahu’s illegal settlement plans. Always was about Israel. theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…
