It’s not just that... checking thread name... okay... it’s on topic... Here is a bit more in comparing before 2016 to 2020 elections now:
During the entire 8 years of Obama, all of the Obama threads were in general. There would be several ‘Obama is a fuck up’ threads... how you doing @Vyxn... It would be common to see several Obama hate topics on the main MMO Champ page. If you consider the commonly tossed around term, at least very recently, in curating. Consider all the issues of Obama flooding the forum, while Trump just has one thread. If you don’t look deeper, beyond how many threads each generated, Trump has only one fuck up... Although, to be fait, how do you measure when a Trump stops fucking up, to create a gradient?
Now... none of this is saying there is a conspiracy. It’s extremely obvious why they needed to do this... But, it does change perception, even if that wasn’t the intent.

Hmm? Despite poll numbers those Midwest states are the root of my election anxieties. I think it's right to have them all light red. I bet (hope) Biden's ground team isn't taking them for granted.

Trumphadis on Twitter are ranting about Tucker Carlsons show tonight given he was supposed to be interviewing Hunter Bidens business partner tonight and how it's "devastating for Biden". Given I have yet to see any actual reporting about it on any reputable sites I'm assuming it's mostly hearsay or just outright bullshit.

Just to get ahead of this because you KNOW the usual dipshits are going to be posting about it shortly...

You know, because the Trump Defense Squad (hey! TDS!) here loves to take things Biden says or does out of context for a reallllly pathetic gotcha.A six-second video tweeted by President Donald Trump’s campaign seeks to build on Trump’s narrative that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is not mentally sound to serve as president. The clip is deceptive and leaves out significant context.
The tweet posted Oct. 27 by the account @TrumpWarRoom shows Biden saying, "Why am I doing this? Why? What is my real aim?"
Biden did say those words during a campaign stop in Warm Springs, Ga., on Oct. 27 — but he was quoting something he said Pope Francis said, not expressing confusion about his own campaign.
Biden said that throughout history, there have been "charlatans, the con men, the phony populist, who sought the play on our fears, appeal to our worst appetites, and pick at the oldest scabs we have for their own political gain."
Biden, a practicing Catholic, went on to say that Pope Francis recently said people who want to lead should reflect on their purpose. He was referring to Pope Francis’ Oct. 3 encyclical letter.
I found this list to be pretty handy, so I'm posting it here as much for myself as for everyone else.
