Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[beanman12345]

Bernie voters who voted for Donald or third party especially the second time are not Progressives or Democrats.
At-least Bernie understood that America needed to unseat Donald Trump.

Young voters also completely failed to vote for Bernie Sanders.

I voted bernie, and biden. I'm no longer the youth vote of 2016 anymore though. but even 2016 i voted bernie then clinton but had to take a long shower after i voted for that bitch.

All these "Biden supporters" in here are really upset and paranoid right now aren't they? I thought you were blue or bust? Now you're saying they chose the wrong candidate. /sips tea.

Oh, have you finished pretending you're a "Biden supporter" now? /wanking motion

[Kallisto]

And yet, eg privatisation never reminds them of the worst excesses of Nazism, and privatisation was literally invented by the Nazis.

Almost like someone's feeding them a bunch of skewed political rhetoric or something.

Yes but remember the nazis had socialist in their name so they're totally left wing. (I'm being sarcastic here by imitating crazy republicans. I know the socialist in the full name of the Nazi party is as socialist as the Democratic part of North Korea full name makes North Korean Democratic. Aka not at all)

If dems cock this up, they've got nobody to blame but themselves.

Watch them attempt the exact same strategy again in 2024 regardless. Just look at the excuses they're making here.

[Kellhound]

Still hoping for a Biden win with the GOP retaining the Senate....

[Kallisto]

Again - there are places in the world outside of the US and Europe.

What you mean to say is the US vs. every other developed nation.

When you're right you're right. I should have been more careful with wording.

Nevada is looking to be decently close. Lander and Lincoln counties will be red, and have no votes tallied yet.

I mean, I personally am not a Biden supporter for sure, so whatever. I just think that Biden is a walking corpse really and Democratic Party should have chosen better... and no not Bernie, yet another dude one foot in the grave.

Dems should have put out a strong, charismatic and young nominee with a lot of energy, like Obama was in the days. Biden? That was the best they could do? Really?

As a whole, I think putting some 70 years old+ up for a job, and that includes Trump, is simply making a country disservice.

[Zantos]

Just woke up early. Checked the news.

"Too close to call, Trump could win."

Really, America? Fucking really? Jesus fucking Christ guys.

Trust me, I am American and I am thinking the same thing. Most people I know are. I have no idea wtf is going on. Like, are all these Trumpsters hiding all the time or something? When most of the people I see all the time are all so against him, it makes me question how this is even close.

[Cthulhu 2020]

I mean no offense by it, and I think pretty much everyone realizes that. Policing speech like this is part of the reason this election is far closer than it should be. We're trying to defeat a legitimate fascist and people on the left want to talk about how the word "schizophrenic" is offensive. Let's get our priorities straight.

The first mistake in trying to combat fascism is attempting to use Democracy to do so.

Self-proclaimed conservatives claim they want freedom, but they hold their arms wide open for despots they happen to agree with. The funny part is how much conservatives call liberals "Sheep" just looking to be herded. You look at every single talking point used vs Biden or the left, and it originates from some big conservative name or Fox News. There's never an original thought out there among the sea of the Trump cult's social media, just all regurgitating the same things they were fed.

I'm British so I'm not a Biden supporter as such, the guy's basically a walking corpse and should never have ran in the first place. But I assumed he would get the win on a 'anyone but Trump' basis. Seems I could be wrong.

[Mehrunes]

There's a lot of "special" people in the US. C'mon guys, it's the drinking water isn't it? Tell me.

I'd go with food. I recently learned they even deep fry goddamn pickles. Though I suppose nothing should surprise me in the frying departament after I read about deep fried butter a few years ago.

[zorkuus]

I don't know about that. The american voter seems to be pretty dumb and impulsive. What more does one need to say/do to convince people tRump is a disaster? If Biden campaigned with shit all over his face and drank piss on stage, the smart thing would still be to vote him over the orange clown.

[Grapemask]

GA won't go to Biden. 93% vote in and 120k votes for Trump margin? Not much room for flips left there.

There are about ~700k votes still out, the majority of which are from Fulton, Dekalb, and Cobb - all of which are about 70-80% Biden territory. There's plenty of room for Trump to win it, but it's why the NYT's giving it a 64% for Biden.

[beanman12345]

Well i'll tell you who won besides biden in Illinois. the super rich. fkn hell. the placement of this referendum was shit i almost missed it myself and so did most of my family. I think many didn't see it and therefore it's a no count.

I had said the same thing months before the election and everyone was screaming and ree'ing their asses off about how much Biden was the perfect candidate and how bad sanders was and yang and buttigieg. now they're saying biden didnt do this, biden didnt do enough, the dems didn't do this, oh boy. the irony of having your eyes open. oh and thing is? the mail in/absentee votes as well as dem areas havent been counted and theyre still screaming and worrying about losing when there's a 60% chance biden will win.

[Flower Milk]

The Majority of Young Voters failed to vote for Bernie during the Democratic Nomination.

Yes and he failed to get them to turn out for them even though it was integral to his campaign strategy. I blame Bernie for that, not young voters. Will you do the same and blame Biden for failing to get voters to turn out for him if he loses? That's all I want the Democratic Party to do, to hold itself and it's candidates accountable when they lose and choose a different strategy instead of blaming everyone else and continuing to think running moderates is the winning strategy.

[Anastacy]

We’re fucked, aren’t we?

[Mormolyce]

doesnt matter, you said dems kept moving right when that's demonstrably not the case.

In 1986 Ronald Reagan passed an amnesty to illegal immigrants, making the majority of the US's illegal immigrant population full citizens. RONALD REAGAN. Today no Democrat would dare touch that subject for fear of alienating right wingers. Obama pushed a very weak half-measure in the form of DACA and the Republicans crucified him for it.

Modern Democrats are, with no exaggeration, to the right of Reagan.

Precisely because they keep trying to meet in the middle with a right wing party that's further and further to the right.

deep fried pickles are amazing, also you dip them in ranch.
