Why did Biden win?
Because Biden honored common sense. First of all, Biden won the most by his anti-epidemic policy, which is essentially common sense. If no Americans paid much attention to the epidemic in the early stages, the second epidemic taught them that they must win long-term economic growth with short-term shock therapy, and that Trump's laissez-faire policies would not be recognized by most Americans.
Biden's bigger win is to tax the rich. the 2008 financial crisis and the development of modern information technology, the biggest consequence is the growing rich and poor. Governments in order to stimulate the economy, can only engage in extreme monetary easing and long-term low interest rates, the central bank printing money into the real estate and stock markets and other asset markets, and these assets are held by the rich, the ordinary workers in the manufacturing industry is greatly impaired, the epidemic has led to Internet giants to achieve profiteering, and the polarization of the rich and the poor in the world is an important issue. That's why Biden's tax for the rich and large corporations, increasing the capital gains tax; and providing tax relief for working families is very much in line with what the people want.
But Trump's claim to be the savior of the average working man, the champion of the Rust Belt, but the fact that it's just lip service, that there's no real meaningful policy, and that the policy direction is still in the interests of big plutocrats, is a disappointment to the blue-collar class.
With the tax levy, in order to solve the problem of fiscal debt, but also in order to have the funds to solve the problem of backward infrastructure, so that it can also be implemented to stimulate the problem of economic stimulus, to solve the economic downturn affected by the epidemic. This series of policies, which on the surface seem to be singular, are essentially one ring around the other, back and forth, and systematic, which is what most voters in the United States are able to see, and which is also very much in line with common sense.
So Biden's policies include increasing infrastructure investment, building a modern infrastructure, and planning to invest $1.3 trillion over the next decade. This includes, among other things, investments in transportation, smart cities, energy, water, schools, networks, and many other areas.
Trump, despite the infrastructure program, but it is a verbal shout, there is no specific plan, because he does not have a financial source, can only increase the debt, and the debt has become a major drawback of the U.S. economy, it will be difficult to save the economy. The climate and the Green New Deal itself is increasingly becoming a major concern of the general intellectual class, Biden attaches importance to new energy, plans to invest $1.7 trillion in climate and environmental investment, to ensure that the United States to achieve a 100% clean energy economy, before 2050 to reach "net zero emissions", to rejoin the "Paris Climate Agreement".
Trump's insistence on withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and repealing the Clean Power Plan, and his insistence on developing a traditional energy economy, is also against the tide of the times.
On health care, the bottom line is definitely more supportive of Biden's policies, including: lowering premiums, eliminating the eligibility cap on health care tax credits, providing a low-cost, high-quality health care system, opposing abuses by prescription drug companies, and pricing drugs with reference to overseas market prices.
Trump opposes Obama's Affordable Care Act and favors market competition to lower health care costs and allow generic drugs to enter the U.S. market. This is certainly not in favor of the majority of the underclass.
In terms of jobs, Trump's encouragement of the return of manufacturing over the past few years has been largely ineffective, and the trade war with China, where many farmers have been damaged and China's exports have become even more aggressive, hasn't solved much, at least in the short term.
And Biden proposes to scale up short-term compensation to save jobs. Raising the minimum hourly wage, providing immediate relief for families, small businesses and communities, expanding crisis unemployment insurance, mobilizing American manufacturing and innovation to provide jobs, and more. The policies are well-targeted and promising.
And Trump still won't get the people's belief and support if he doesn't support raising the minimum hourly wage and plans to expand federal funding programs and job training programs to encourage manufacturing back and jobs.
Trade, Biden does not support the use of tariffs, and tends to unite allies to pressure other countries. Concerned about "unfair competition" and theft of U.S. intellectual property. Trump supports punitive tariffs and anti-dumping investigations against countries that engage in "unfair dumping and subsidies".
Biden support allies, united allies this move is very absolute, the original trade is between allies, especially technology blockade, you sanctioned a country, and allies do not cooperate, you still have no effect, the technology will still be from other countries to enter the country, blockade of goods will still be through other countries to get.
In particular, Trump's so-called America First policy is very hurtful to allies, and treating allies equally in terms of trade sanctions makes other traditional allies very hurtful, and this policy is extremely unwise and inconsistent with common sense.
This policy extends to geopolitics, which divides the United States from Europe and allows Iranian nuclear Russia to exploit the loopholes, which many people in the United States see clearly. Geopolitically, Biden will reconfigure alliances.
The above simple comparison, you can see that Trump's policy is still a continuation of its style, too much focus on short-term results, too much catering to the voters mind, but the voters are also changing and growing, too emotional, too alternative, too much to talk to the style of the people, and gradually away from common sense, away from the voters.
