Interesting stats from the BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54783016
In their exit polling the Coronavirus ranked 3rd at the issue that mattered most when it came to electing your chosen candidate. 35% said economy, 20% said racial inequality, 17% coronavirus, 11% for crime and safety & 11% for healthcare policy.
To me this is really at the heart of what is happening within this country. As easy as it is to point fingers at leaders, we forget that we indeed are in charge. Covid-19 absolutely impacts all of our lives significantly on a daily occurance. The fact that frickin racial inequality was a bigger issue to voters than this is quite telling. By no means am I saying that it isn't an issue, it clearly is a very serious topic. But we have hundreds dying daily & the coronavirus barely beats Crime & safety as an election topic?
Regardless of what side of the aisle you're on, it seems apparent based on election results that the American public by and large wants to just let it ride until a vaccine comes out
