Should Dems avoid major purchases until after Nov 2020?

Not saying we want a really bad recession, but if a slight economic downturn helps get rid of Trump that would be a good thing.
So I’m just wondering if we should postpone buying houses, cars, large furniture, etc.

Many of them will be Democrats. Many companies may close their doors in addition to those that have already done so. drumpf has already poisoned the economic well and I don't think it is ever a good idea to induce a recession. drumpf will be gone before November of 2020. It is important to have a strong Presidential candidate like Joe Biden to ensure victory.

should make decisions based on their personal needs. Why should major purchases become the purview of political affiliation? I need to replace an expensive picture window before winter. It's no a choice we'll make based on voter registration .
