Election 2020

[Mr. Tea]

i might have said thbat buit did i really?

 

[Mr. Tea]

Some voice deep inside me wonders whether avoiding starting international conflicts and bombing more civilians—like literally every single one of Trump's predecessors in the modern presidential era—is such a big deal that it outweighs all his gross priggishness and tax policies and moral modeling. Biden meanwhile is a war mongerer.

This has already been comprehensively dismissed. https://chicago.suntimes.com/platfo...rump-drone-strikes-far-exceed-obama-s-numbers

I asked barty he said Biden then he said something boring about the lead in swing states being very tight

‘Scoop’, not Andrew.

that conversation is finished now anyway we're back in the present. History class is over.

If my hero Corbin

if he truly is your hero, you'd spell his name correctly.

 

[Leo]

this is a bit frightening. years ago, it would have been outlandish but now plausible.

an interesting point in that article: trump has undying support from his MAGA base, not necessarily from Republicans. if he loses, GOP legislators and those in his administration could very well say "ok, it's over", but trump could continue to rally his base to stir shit up, even continue doing rallies.

 

[luka]

if he truly is your hero, you'd spell his name correctly.

I misspell it on purpose to signal the fact that he's not literally my hero. It undermines the claim at the same time as its being made. A sophisticated use of language but spoiled slightly by having to explain.

 

[Leo]

too sophisticated for me.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Surely it's Kert Corbin, late frontman of Durrvana?

i can already dream the headlines, "how could this have happened", "how come the polls could not predict this" bla bla bla.

trump is gonna win.

 

[Leo]

could happen.

i can already dream the headlines, "how could this have happened", "how come the polls could not predict this" bla bla bla.

trump is gonna win.

But please tell me more about why you think that than that you dreamed it.

i believe in that because the usa is not a democracy and the bully will just take what he wants

 

[IdleRich]

By cheating then? Fair enough, it's certainly an issue.

 

[Leo]

interesting point

70-30 Trump voters say they’re voting for Trump, not against Biden.
And roughly 70-30 Biden voters say they’re voting against Trump, not for Biden.

In a way, Donald Trump provides the enthusiasm and Joe Biden just keeps denying him something really significant to run against. Biden has this weird rope-a-dope of an election strategy that seems to be paying off.

 

[IdleRich]

Seems like there is another one of those anti-Trump voters in this pic

He's certainly going to try, and I wouldn't put anything past him at this stage. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[IdleRich]

Well yeah but where's the fun in that when instead we could speculate all over the shop and make wild assertions?
