[POLL] 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

[Joom]

So you're doing nothing about him labeling members here as racists, facists, nazis?? Repeatedly.

k then.

Again, if someone is literally here posting Nazi or racist rhetoric, then I'm gonna call them out for it because it isn't behavior that belongs anywhere. You can post rhetoric without it being hate speech. I also didn't start doing this until I was initially called a racist for making a rather accurate generalization of Trump supporters. I'll continue to say it, too; if you're a Trump supporter, you're either racist, or fine with racism. I haven't seen the first MAGA at a BLM protest unless they were there to antagonize and terrorize while the president champions this despicable behavior. I haven't seen the first MAGA to speak out against Trump's dog whistling toward white nationalists and hate groups. I haven't seen the first MAGA to disavow the actions of the police, and instead shout out crap like 13/50. They support a man who perpetrates blatant systemic oppression of minority groups, and are so consumed by fear of the "radical left" that they feel it's their patriotic duty to "stop" these BLM "terrorists". So please, please, somehow pull some apologetics out of your ass to prove me otherwise.

Great /s
A democrat president with a republican senate.
Nothing will change, sadly.

Democrats get another crack at the Senate majority in 2 years.

They get another crack at it in two months.

"If you don't see every legal and political issue the same way I do, you're a racist. Prove me wrong."

Objectivity through demonstrable evidence. Maybe learn what that means. This isn't a matter of opinion.

I hope all 51 of those votes in this poll for “other” were all for Kanye.

 

[Lacius]

And I explained what that meant, in my last reply to Lacius. You're looking at a 15 degree slice of this, but I was reacting to something I've been seeing for a while. I invite you to peruse @Joom's previous posts where the name-calling happens, rather frequently. This isn't something new, it's a pattern of behavior that has been tolerated here for some time. I guess I just hit the boiling point over it. For that I apologize, but his behavior is simple bigotry, just not race-based. The majority taking part here are anti-conservative which is fine but that's why you don't hear more about it. I let it slide for some time but he just kept it up. If you don't see it, or won't see it, then that's that.

It's not bigoted to criticize ideas.

"If you don't see every legal and political issue the same way I do, you're a racist. Prove me wrong."

Donald Trump is a racist. Anyone who voted for Donald Trump is either a racist, they don't know he's a racist, or they tolerate his racism.

I know you're joking, but we know Vermin Supreme was among the Other votes.

 

[Joom]

I wish they'd just give that guy a seat in the House already. He's been running for president for so long with the same held principles all this time. I think he deserves it, and then he can finally get to work on getting Americans what they deserve; a free pony.

If Vermin Supreme wants to hold office, he can run as a Democrat or Republican (or as a Libertarian in a race that's winnable). He doesn't actually want or intend to win anything, like Kanye.

Oh I know. He's just a satirical piece that's there to poke fun at our boondoggle of a political system. I still think a commemorative seat for his camaraderie and tenacity would be well deserved, though.

This translates into 'we didnt bother to translate our message into spanish' instead we had our social justice warriors spend money on interacting with their favorites, the white privileged classes - in NYT speech.

Just for the people that want to ignore this and respond with instead.

You know who you are.

I haven't seen anyone respond with

Finally a president as good as Al Gore.

Explanation: States where the 'winner' in a senate race didnt reach 50% of the vote and where three candidates were running go into a 'runoff'. And as it stands right now, democrats winning those states still looks dicey.

Which is why you have Sanders do the entire 'you were the greatest, what great grass routes organizing, you are the true winners - now lets focus on the senate race once more' spiel currently.

Its called motivating people with not much in the brain.

But still, it could work.

I mean, it's really unlikely the Senate will go blue right now, but I have a good feeling it'll happen in two years. Trump has tarnished the Republican name so badly now that he's not only disenfranchised people from the party, he's brought people out who have never voted before just to get him out of office. Progressiveness is the majority in this country, and it'll slowly overtake more and more as time goes on, because society isn't immune to evolution. As it stands, the Republican party is currently seen as way too far-right, and those ideals are dying. It's like what I said earlier about the romanticization of Americana culture that the Republicans do. That era in our history is long gone, and it isn't coming back. Younger generations are much more likely to vote for the left, and those on the right are dying out from old age.

At first glance it would seem unlikely for the Democrats to win both seats in the Georgia runoffs (being a traditionally red state and all). The Republican Perdue actually would've won his election if not for the Libertarian draining his total down below 50%.

But... the Dems do have a weapon working in their favor -- Trump's defeat could lead to a less enthusiastic Republican voter turnout.

Well then - lets not examine, that the reason for this was, that the democratic campaign forgot to translate their messaging into spanish, and instead had a big social justice warrior festival, looking like this:


...addressing mostly young white educated voters.

I think thats only fair - as it is exactly what Sanders is pleading right now. Just a bit longer, just a bit longer, until you're desire for change matters.

Just another two years, but then...!

Those apparently easy to acquire (someone just listened to them, and talked to them in their language) latin votes lost over the last months, are far harder to gain back on your side, than to suppress once more. I hope you realize that. NYT spoke about 'non loyal male latin votes' for a reason.

To translate that - thats 'fuck them, they werent supposed to show up'.

I'll help you out. It means I find your novels to be laughable. Enjoy your weekend.

 

[notimp]

But much of the Democrats’ resources in the closing days is being devoted to providing basic voting information to registered Latino voters, rather than funding a deeper dive into the voter files to reach more voters, or a big effort to change the minds of wavering male voters, party officials said.

Donde esta la biblioteca?

It's still up on the cards for senate no? House will probably be the democrats.

Man you yanks need more parties than two... honestly!
