@mizzle We are living in bizarro world now where a narcissistic orange reality TV conman/game show host guy is running the country, so who knows what crazy thing will happen next. It's possible that Trump hate is so strong at this point that the Democrats having a pretty lame ticket won't matter and Biden will still get elected. We do have unemployment on a massive scale not seen since the Great Depression and a deadly virus running rampant that Trump's incompetence played a big role in worsening.
Could be. Biden has the numbers right now is all I’m saying. And he has for a while. Not to mention he is stronger than Clinton in ‘16, moving outside of that margin of error that doomed her. There’s a lot of reasons for it. Whether it’s Trump invading Portland and shooting moms, to Trump invading churches to gas priests, or Trump giving a pass to Putin on soldier bounties, or the massive unemployment, or the coronavirus response, or California voters moving to other states, or Trumps relationships with Epstein and wishing Ghislaine well, or his trade wars that hurt Midwest farmers... honestly, Biden doesn’t have to do much besides show up. He was already terrible in the primary debates and ran away with the nomination. Trump may be appealing to his base, but there are less boomers than ever and Gen X and Millennial voters aren’t really Republicans. Remember, Trump isn’t really all that popular to begin with, his people are just loud and noticeable. If there is actually anyone left who is still so undecided that Harris is their tipping point, that’d be something. But it’s true, people really don’t like this guy. They would give dubya a third term if it would get rid of him. The fact that Trump campaign members are moonlighting for Kanye should tell you all you need to know. They think Democrat hip hop fans are going to turn away from Biden and head West in states like Wisconsin and Michigan? Pennsylvania? Might work in Florida, though.

I'm convinced the Democrats are trying to throw another election. You couldn't do much worse than Biden/Harris. I guess they are going to stick with the political ideology of "we're just like the republicans, only nicer". I think they'll win against all odds. The country is just too tired of winning so much... We just can't win anymore...
Their strategy in the last election was to run bland moderate status quo candidates, push feminism and identity politics (I'm with her!) to try to distract from not actually being progressive on anything that matters like healthcare or student loans, and hate on Trump. Their strategy this time is identical. Actual progressives who want real changes have been sidelined again. Have things changed so much that a failed strategy is suddenly going to work? It will be interesting to watch that's for sure.
The problem is actual progressives who want change don’t actually vote. Or Bernie would’ve been the nominee. The Dems are taking the antifa/defund the police argument away by nominating a cop as VP and the guy that wrote the bill giving cops super powers as Prez. What I don’t get is the post office attack. Don’t elderly voters skew GOP and all vote by mail? It’s like he just hears things and runs off with it. Disinfectant treated blood and mail fraud. Anybody think there’s a Russian piss tape out there?
2020 is the gift that keeps on giving. RBG has died. So a seat on the supreme court is open. Trump will no doubt replace her with someone awful.
It is with their constitutional powers to do exactly what they are doing. It’s a shame they want to act this way but whatever. Maybe after the next 40 years of American taliban white supremacy court eroding our rights we won’t vote for a reality show con man again. Boomers had Reagan, Millenials have Trump. I bet he nominates a catholic abuelx to solidify Florida.
He already has an abuela in mind https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...rbara-lagoa-eyed-possible-nominee/5840189002/
I think Trump is going to win and Republicans will keep the senate. I have no faith in Democrats at this point. Their "we're pretty much just like Republicans, but we're nice about it!" Republicanlite™ strategy is not working. It doesn't get progressives (i.e. just about anyone under the age of 40 who isn't a 4chan troll or incel) to the polls.
Who knows at this point? The post office is breaking. Dems are bringing in money. Trumps are sinking boats. The polls are still wrong. The Chinese are coming. The kids still don’t vote. The BLMs are ruining it. The MAGAhats are dying of covid. Trump will steal the Mexican vote. Not if Kamala arrests them first. I still think Trump wins but the Dems take both houses and impeach him again. It’s 2020, so anything can happen.
Lol Trump derailed that debate in seconds. It went about as well as anybody should’ve known. I will say this. He’s still entertaining in debate form. I feel like acting like a troll in debates actually helps him. I couldn’t help but laugh lol. Biden did better than I expected (at blocking Trump). Biden scores 100% of the debate points but I’m not sure if that matters. also, there is a serious problem with the Democratic Party that this election isn’t a shutout. I think Democrat’s give too much attention to niche, aggressively vocal demographics, at the expense of wider appeal. There is no reason to be working 5% of a president that called for white supremacists to standby to deal with a antifa live during the debate.
There's no point in debating him. He'll just derail the thing and start in with the bullying, lying, and making it all about him, as we saw last night. The best thing you can do with a narcissist like Trump is just ignore them.
The Proud Boys are morbidly obese soldier boy LARPers who you could defeat by running up a flight of stairs. They probably also number all of a few thousand in the entire country.
The Proud Boys is not a white supremacist group. This is the current chairman of The Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio. I'm not a fan of The Proud Boys, but regardless of that they are not what Biden claimed they were. Trump has already addressed this topic pretty clearly: Trump does have plenty of fans who are degenerates, but the same could definitely be said for the Democrats, particularly the authoritarian social justice activist faction that has been fairly dominant and influential in recent years. I'm in the lower left quadrant of the political compass with Gabbard. I'm not fond of anyone near the top of this graph, particularly the upper left or right corners occupied by the social justice commandos and alt-right:
If he was asked to denounce white supremacist groups and he starts talking about proud boys... and have we forgotten the story of Clayton Bigsby?
