Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Redwyrm]

Just like propping up the confederacy, it’s not about accomplishing anything specific, it’s about showing how “the liberals aren’t going to keep you down!”

I’ve not noticed these Trump rallies in Orlando (my commute doesn’t take me near downtown) but I have noticed people taking their trump signs down.

These rallies are at the intersection of 17-92 and 436 on Tuesday around 5pm. Drive by if you want a laugh.

3 WHISTLEBLOWERS from DOMINION SOFTWARE have come forward and are testifying!Stay Tuned! PRAY.

This is nonsense I keep seeing from someone I know. And every time he follows it up with a tick tick tick, like any of the BS has ever actually lead to anything. Whats it like to be that unaware?

Even if I believed these people existed... pretty sure providing false testimony in front of a judge will land you a pretty nasty jail sentence.

I'm just thankful it didn't come down to Florida to do the right thing in this election.

Lin Wood is the same moron defending Kyle Rittenhouse, and he defended that Covington smartass.

I saw some moron on Facebook claim that Sydney Powell, who doesn't have the legal authority because she is the Whitehouse legal counsel, and Michael Flynn's shitty lawyer, seized and took control of Dominion's server. I told the moron that posted it that it didn't happen, they then linked me a video from Louie fucking Gohmert, saying they had. And I don't trust that bald headed racist dickbag with anything, let alone the truth.

The army thing is a big hit with these people. Like the US army can just do whatever it wants in other countries with zero repercussions. Or the fact that no other media outlets in the world would pick up on this story.

[Nastard]

they are smart enough to understand the kind of damage they'd be inflicting on the entire democratic process. It would be a short term gain with long term consequences for the country and their party.

That's part of the problem when your party is packed full of old selfish people, right? They're old. They'll be dead before the long term ramifications are made manifest. The only thing that will affect THEM personally is the short term gain. When you're a selfish bastard, a small short term gain that affects you is superior to a long term disaster that will NOT affect you.

These Dominion conspiracy theories look like some serious Pizzagate level bullshit from someone completely on the outside.

I imagine these internet gumshoes just frantically typing away on google searches and scanning CNN footage for the most tenuous of connections that they can piece together.

It’s ‘Romney’s son owns voting booths, this is going to be rigged’... from 2012... although that kind of stopped after the results... that’s a key difference.

It's not that far off of a "long term". It's maybe 4 years. Probably less.

Also, it's time to drop the myth that Republicans are all old. Devin Nunes? 47. Marco Rubio? 49. Ted Cruz? 49. All of them Younger than VP-elect Kamala Harris.

Then there is this Madison Cawthorn chap...25 years old...and just elected to the House.

There's always a next generation of Republicans coming up the chain.

You should share this with whoever that person is:

Viral social media posts claim that the 2020 presidential election is compromised because Dominion Voting Systems flipped votes to favor Joe Biden.

This is wrong. There is no credible evidence that the system affected any vote counts. Minor problems, including human error and temporary machine malfunctions, took place in a few jurisdictions and did not impact vote tabulations.

We rate this Pants on Fire!

bold of you to assume that people who buy into this in the first place are swayed by politifact or anything "the lying lame-stream media"

[Shadowferal]

And getting in confrontations with the police.

So much for the peaceful nazi marches.

That should please the acab crowd.

Oh I don't expect it to sway them.

[Xeones]

Some random guy sues Georgia, claiming that XXX therefore Trump wins.



Hmm. Where was this lawsuit before the election? What is this supposed to accomplish, anyhow?

In Texas when they tried to sue over the drive through votes one of the points the judge made was "Why is this just being brought before me now?"

I expect the timing of his case to weigh into the decisions of the judge.

FWIW They ran endless ads here in Arizona trumpeting the whole "Defund the police" slogan ... and yet Arizona flipped blue. And elected a Democrat Senator. They screamed "socialist" every chance they got, and yet Arizona flipped blue. So many ads with AOC's face and Nancy Pelosi's (that noted communist) face, and yet Arizona flipped blue.

Seems to me that good candidates win despite "poor messaging" and poor candidates get swallowed up by it.

It's not a binary situation, I'm not sure why you're trying to claim that. The Defund the Police slogan hurt candidates and the DNC. Arizona did ok and kept their blue seats blue, but other blue seats in other states were flipped, in some cases because of the Defund the Police campaign.

Stand up for what you believe in and people WILL follow you. Run away from what your opponent claims of you and people will just see you as weak. If the Democratic Party doesn't start to stand for something, there will be another Donald Trump.

Not sure, again, where you're getting the idea that I EVER suggested running away from anything - you let us know where I said that, please. I have only argued that the slogan needed to be changed, because it's bad - objectively so. Some people refuse to see that. I mean - do YOU think it was a good slogan?

i think you mean voting machines, and i dont trust anything done electronically, but guess which party wouldnt vote for additional election security safeguards and funding..the republicans https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4...security-bills , lol its ironic, if there was an insecure election, which so far there is no evidence of, it would be their own damn fault. but regardless we should get rid of electronic voting and have universal paper ballots.

Unfortunately these people consider snopes and politifact as at best satire sites like the onion. At worst in the same conspiracy bracket as the mythical msm.

They're shifting more and more these days. They're even blasting Washington Times and New York Post (on Conservative reddit and twitter) as leftist fake news, and flocking to Epoch Times and Newsmax instead.

It's becoming more and more apparent that those sorts don't want their viewpoints challenged with facts or opposing viewpoints and instead just want an echo chamber.

Sorry to pop in, but I haven't been paying attention to the election outside of hearing that Biden won. Can anyone give some quick highlights as to what's happened during this election, and after?

Trump was ahead on election day by a pretty hefty margin from in person voting. Then the states that decided the election started counting the mail in ballots that they were not allowed to actually count til the polls closed on Election Day. It took about 4 days to count all the votes, and eventually, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania all flipped blue from the mail in votes. Trump had like a 600k vote lead in Pennsylvania alone before the mail ins were counted, and now Biden is up over 55k I believe at the moment.

Now, since all of the states were called for their candidates, Biden has a 306 to like 232 lead. And since the votes were started counting on election day, there has been about somewhere in the range of 25 or so lawsuits alleging fraud or other bullshit. Trump won 2 of them. One to move his people 6 feet closer to the counting in Nevada or Arizona, not sure which one, and to have the votes that weren't counted but were received after November 3rd. The rest of the lawsuits have been laughably thrown out of court.

A lot of Trump supporters have been claiming that the votes that were counted after November 3rd are illegal, but they were cast by mail or received before November 3rd, so that makes them legal. They are claiming that some 700,000 ballots weren't witnessed in Pennsylvania, even though there was someone there to witness them. They are claiming that some software glitch by Dominion software that counts votes, allegedly gave more votes to Biden, even though there is no evidence of that.

So basically Trump and his supporters are going through the several stages of grief and are stuck on denial.

Trump lost in an Electoral College result that he called a "landslide" when it fell in his favor in 2016, refuses to concede, claims that counting ballots is fraud (not literally, but that's what his tantrum amounts to). Right-wing pundits conveniently forget that media outlets call every election before the results are official, and use their lapse in memory as further evidence that there's a nationwide mainstream-media-driven conspiracy to delegitimize the election.

Or that these pundits called elections themselves....
