One thing you don’t give any weight to- democracy and upholding the constitution. Do you really believe he will leave quietly in 4 years?

And also the current economy, which is pretty great for anyone with money in the market right now.[/quote]

Thanks for the feedback.   Correct, I could have written a couple more paragraphs on that.   The very short summary of what those paragraphs would say are:

--- Future of Democracy ---

Both sides are a "tie vote" and get a D- on this.  Trump's personality is competitive and combative, but his tantrums in the last few weeks were pathetic.  However, I have zero concerns that he'll leave in four years.  He will have accomplished much by then and will be satisfied with his legacy on matters like immigration - which will be the define his first two years of a potential, second term.    Harris concerns me that she has not spoken out enough on censorship, and I do believe that is a problematic area in our society.   A good, classical Liberal like Bill Maher can say publicly that transgenderism among teens is almost entirely a faddish social contagion, and he can get away with it because he's "too big to cancel".  But if I were to say that on Facebook right now, I'd have my account banned.  That's a first-Amendment problem in my views.

--- Economy ---

Tie vote.  Both candidates get a C+.   Looking at FHA loan and credit card delinquency, I believe a recession is likely.   No matter who wins, they will get blamed for it by the other party.  Kamala should not have cast the tie vote on pet project social spending, and her vague plans sound like a bunch more, ill-defined handouts.   Trump's talk of tariffs is always concerning, as I tend to prefer 'Chicago style' neoclassical policies.  Both of them pander to organized labor, and I tend to find organized labor as just a way to try and create market imperfections of people hoping to earn more than they are worth, based on the natural supply-and-demand equilibrium point of laborers with those particular skill sets.
