Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Fugus]

Alright I accept that, but do you REALLY think Republicans can be happy with what is happening right now. Not the party but the people, as I said, I understand people being very angry. Anyone!

The people, no, they party, they don't care so long as it helps them and if it had worked better, they would be celebrating it and lying and blaming the Democrats for it like they ALWAYS do.

They either don't care or they're too stupid to understand what's going on. The Republican party is just using them to push their agenda.

His supporters are literally intimidating and obstructing the count. Trump's lawyers are filing suits to try and slow or stop the counts in battleground states.

[Doctor Amadeus]

nobody is happy right now. of course we all want to know who's president. thankfully we do, and Biden is gonna win.

Trust me I so badly want that.

[Fahrenheit]

Dear DNC,

Make Philly and Atlanta the first primaries in 2024.

Yeah, black people in Philly and Atlanta about to rip Trump’s heart out of his chest.

[Logwyn]

Yeah well honestly I might be alone in this, but should Biden win, I would REALLY like a full investigation into Trump with no protections for him or anyone else that might have had a hand in voter suppression.

I am probably wrong in my wanting that to be a priority with so much on Biden's plate going forward but FUCK how can anybody be ok trying to steal peoples right to vote!

An investigation by who? Do you know what happens in the rest of the world when elections are being portrayed like Trump did tonight? The UN comes in and observes. You really want the UN mucking about in US elections?

I honestly can not see how anyone can support Trump after that speech he just gave. That was not stately, there was no leadership in it, and it was almost like a child having a tantrum. So bad that the major news outlets cut away from the current President of the US during a press conference.

[Draco-Onis]

You can't rip out what doesn't exist.

TeamFourStar nailed Nevada right with this one.

I have been a Liberal Socially and Fiscally along with Democrat all my life, I am PROUD of that even if I don't take pride in many other things. But as I said my points were simply made in regards to the election processs, and If Biden wins with it looks like, I'm saying I would like to see this fixed.

With our technology and the way we do things I am not sure why this can't be better, I get it I accept what you said, but I really feel we need to do a lot better.

Republicans are the ones who caused this prolonged counting. They could have easily prevented this by having their states (like PA) start counting weeks earlier.

They chose not to. Hate this slow counting? Stop voting for republicans.

[eschatological]

They weren't appealing to republicans. They were appealing to NPVs. This talking point is the tail wagging the dog. If youths and progressives actually voted regularly for dems (instead of voting 3rd party or not showing up at all), they'd start catering more closely to issues that appeal to youths and progressives. Look at bernie bros. Look at youth turn out throughout history.

And Biden cleaned up among Independents this cycle, who were also a bigger chunk of the pool, compared to Hillary.

Lincoln Project did their job, now we can go back to them being the opposition.

[PhaelixWW]

Edit, hey, you're from Eire. How do you feel that your county flipped?

I think you're confusing Erie County, Pennsylvania with Eire, which is Ireland.

[Adam Jensen]

Stop voting for republicans.

Honestly the solution for a lot of things.

They used like 0 money for their ads... They're using the money to "try to rebuild the republican party"

[Milchshake]

Yeah, black people in Philly and Atlanta about to rip Trump’s heart out of his chest.

I'll just go with; respecting them as the base of the party and saving our asses.

I dont trust them to ever govern. But they did spend $50 million attacking Trump.

Some Berner on twitter, twisting Michael Steel's words is just more of the populist garbage we're trying to get rid of.

No no no Logwyn please don't misunderstand me, I said I understand the ANGER. Trump is a fucking moron everything he has said long ago and especially up to now I am surprised hasn't turned everyone against him.

[Xeones]

I won't lie I stared at this for a good 20 seconds then I suddenly got it and started laughing.

[Ripster42]

Dear DNC,

Make Philly and Atlanta the first primaries in 2024.

I've argued against this for a while, but yeah, Iowa needs to give up its spot. GA would be a good one. Trump won IA +8. It's not really as representative as it needs to be anymore.

[eschatological]

I get that things are looking better. I just don't think they look good enough. And "if this trend continues..." is a conditional.

And even if Biden takes both states, that's when the lawsuits pushing SCOTUS and the redneck riots begin.

Trump has more avenues to victory than Biden does. Biden won't cheat.

You've been doom and gloom this whole election, when the math and the statistics have been showing what we expected for 3 days. It's over. Try and have some faith, friend!

Trump is a fuckstain and no court, not even SCOTUS, will change a legal vote to overturn an election.

If Biden wins, he can help some but he STILL can't get it fixed unless they take back the Senate because old Moscow Mitch The Bitch will still be running it and will refuse to let a vote come to the floor for anything like that and will blame the Democrats as "Do Nothing" just like he did during Obama's time and just like he did the past 2 years while sitting on 400+ bills that he refuses to allow votes for. He has even admitted on camera where he said you could call him the Grim Reaper of the legislation.

Me and none of the others here have any issues with you calling out that there is problems and this is screwed up, you are just flat out wrong on the part where you tried to give the Democrats ANY part of the blame for it.

Even if Biden takes the president and the Democrats keep the House, unless they take the Senate, they still can't fix anything because the Republican will refuse to get off their fat, lazy, useless bum ass to fix anything if it serves them personally better being broken.
