    Oh, and Biden never took a drug test, and he never had his ears searched. Fatty fatty two-by-four demanded changes, they didn't happen, and he showed up anyhow. He's already a loser. What a joke.

    Trump failed to make it clear his stance on some topics. But this question about white supremacists, he already has condemned it, officially.

    LOL 2017.

    got something a little more recent that represents his views and stance after all the shits that gone down since 2017??

    Sure sounds like you are backed into a corner of "well what trump meant to say...."

    This is the group Trump gave a shoutout to. A group that oddly discourages masturbation for whatever reason (who gives a shit?) and will only "promote" you if you assault libs.

    Donald Trump is a white supremacist, authoritarian who actively encourages violence and felonious behavior by his supporters.
    it actualy says alot about there internal belief structure tbh.

    also means ill never be a member haha my junks mine and ill do with it as i please, that and i dont like tattoos.

    "The first presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden has concluded. Following the night, the biggest takeaway is that there were no surprises, and nothing happened that will change any attitudes, cause either candidate to gain or lose any votes, or move any undecided voters one way or the other.

    Indeed, while the debate was contentious, and at times became personal, it lacked any real substance that could change attitudes in any meaningful way.

    Given the level of back-and-forth between the candidates, the substance of the candidates’ answers was often lost and took a back seat to their style of argumentation and command of the room.

    Though, in terms of style, in my view, President Trump was the clear winner—Trump was in command of the conversation, in control of the discussion, and if not presidential, certainly more in command.
    "

    But Biden did well I think, And Trump failed to express himself well enough on some topics. Both candidates interrupted each other and Trump was the worse about that.

    Overall, it was a draw and the winner or loser is going to depend on who you ask.

    This kind of response is because you didn't listen to a word Biden was saying and you made excuses for everything Trump said.

    No one expected any different of you.

    "in command". No the dude would not shut the fuck up.
    The leader of the free world could not handle a simple debate and its rules. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Childish.

    I swear to god, once they get sent their talking points sheets, we're gonna have to repeatedly remind the Republican types that inductive logic is, like, a real thing. They're gonna dispute that inductive logic exists or is logic at all. Because they're dishonest con artists, or naive and ignorant enough to fall for such despite how obvious it is.

    I mean...he's not wrong. I've watched the Star Wars Holiday Special and would gladly rewatch it in over rewatching last night's debate.

    Also, 270toWin has modified its consensus EC map by changing Iowa from Trump to toss-up.

    Dude... I post Jello Beafra campaign videos... yet, I’m one of the people he is talking about... The issue being, Tim Pool’s version of anti corporatist, is the same a corporatist. It’s how he calls Trump a liberal... that’s why the confusion.

    It's downright frightening to me that people need others to tell them how to think. Like they are simply incapable of independent thought. And they also depend on others to translate what our current president (lowercase 'p') because he simply can't speak for himself apparently. Which by the way, he usually turns around and makes his own people look bad by saying the opposite of what they defended.

    The US really needs to put education as a higher priority because if 40% of our population is this willfully ignorant (or even stupid), we're truly fked.

But other than that, I feel like you've been very pro-corporate and pro-status quo lately ever since the last US' election campaign. You also seem to turn a blind eye to the larger problems at hand: Trump and Biden are getting donations from mostly the same corporations and banks, no matter who wins, those donors always are going to win, and the public will lose. Furthermore there are countless studies that show that voting in the US is entirely pointless when it comes to influencing policy. Corporations and money decide policy, not elections in the USA. Meanwhile you seem to keep arguing to keep people engaged with the pointless hamster wheel.
    You can’t argue about corporatist being a problem, when a corporation is president... this is why Tim Pool is a joke and anyone who listens to him ends up in your quagmire, when you leave the Tim bubble. That’s the problem... your view of US politics is through a con man view...

    Consider the money spent and the money dependent on keeping the population like that and it won’t seem as stupid, but far more deliberate.

    He outright put someone on ignore for using Your vs You're....because one was a direct insult to him....

    Has nothing to do with bullying.
    Insults yes, but the insult is that you are not blind faith following his party and trump.

    It’s the same bullying that Trump complains about, when he is fact checked.

    Let me check their data and ....oh wait right, you have to pay in order to see the limited data and methodology they kinda sorta release... never mind

    Shocked they are even rated that high.

    But then again they had Clinton +2 and called for Clinton to get over 300+ EC.
