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.
