Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[cubby]

I'm looking forward to when we can put the Trump Administration in the trash can of failed American experiments, like Prohibition.

Let's make sure we don't skip the part where we prosecute every single fucking one of them.

The challenges are going to be both Yuge and Significant. The GOP is ready to go in most states to challenge votes. I understand that Biden has legal teams/peeps ready to go as well, but in this case, offense is better than defense.

I agree. Especially because the bodies of the judiciary/congress that are Trump aligned— like the Supreme Court— are basically kangaroo courts at this point. Biden’s lawyers can make as legally sound and constitutionally relevant arguments as they want, but I’m fairly certain the GOP-aligned Supreme Court in particular would just drum their fingers during the arguments whilst internally debating what to have for dinner until they can bang the gavel in Trump’s favor.

I’m hoping first and foremost that Biden wins handedly and these matters aren’t taken to the courts, second most that, if it is close, any that are taken to court aren’t ultimately deciding factors, and third but still preferable that, if they are close polls and will be decisive in who the president is, that they ACTUALLY go to an impartial and neutral court.

In a single minute, Trump manages to claim Kamala Harris is "America's most liberal Senator," claims she can't pronounce her own name correctly, and says wearing a mask is "politically correct," somehow.

Supposedly he has another 15 rallies scheduled before election day.

God how much is this costing taxpayers, cause you know he is never going to repay the cost

they are so fast to get out the judgement they can't even get it right. When was the last time you heard about such glaring mistakes like the ones Kavy The Perv made?

Fuck every one of these people. DeJoy needs to be brought up on charges for intentionally disenfranchising voters. I have no clue what specific laws that would be, but surely he's violating some law in his attempts to deny millions of Americans their Constitutional right to voting.

I want to add something regarding this topic. One of the posters on these forums revealed himself to be a CBP officer at the border (he didn't post all that much). He spewed all sorts of racist nonsense, especially against Hispanics and Muslims. Of course, he was also stupid enough to have a rather unique username, that he also used in CBP and law enforcement sites. With a little effort, it wasn't difficult to figure out who he was. It was rather foolish of him to talk about applying for specific jobs, at specific locations, using his real name in those other sites.

A few phone calls to those facilities, and demands he be investigated... and he's no longer an employee of the United States Government, in any capacity. Pro tip; if you are going to be a racist fuckwit who cheers about torturing minorities, don't let everyone know you are one of those people who are actually doing it. Anonymity on the internet is not nearly as secure as some would think. One not-so-fine chap learned a lesson in OpSec.

No, I will not reveal the asshat's username, or his actual name. Yes, I do check in on him from time to time (he's a security guard). Yes, I am proud of what I did, it's one less violent racist working for the taxpayers.

What did he say to justify attacking his income?

“Violent racist idealism”

Awwwwww, look at you trying so hard to defend racist fucks. Dear Leader would be proud.

He explained exactly what was said in his post - why do you not read posts you respond to?

[Machismo]

What did he say to justify attacking his income?

I attacked nothing, I simply exercised my free speech,and highlighted his speech.

He cheered on the torture of immigrants, called for violence against them, and espoused Islamophobic and ethno-nationalistic beliefs.

Feel free to keep painting that racist shitbag as a victim.

It's still amazing to me that Texas is as close as it is. When/if it goes blue, I wonder how long it would take Republicans to finally start to consider the removal of the Electoral College... Would it be instantly, or would they maybe sleep on it and get back to us the next day?

If democrats win Texas it would be the end of the republican party. How could a major political party fundraise if it has no path to the presidency?

[Breccia]

If democrats win Texas it would be the end of the republican party.

If the Democrats win Texas, it will save the Republican party. They'll have to think about what they did wrong and become the Grand Old Party again, focusing on smaller government, lower taxes, and personal responsibility.

What are you talking about? That guy just needs to pull himself up his bootstraps. The US is the land of opportunity and all he has to do is work hard. He doesn't have a right to be guaranteed an income.

"I think that was actually, that was on the great Laura Ingraham show. Actually, I watched that," Trump said. "And I do believe Laura Ingraham is here someplace. Where is Laura? Where is she? Where is Laura? I can't recognize you. Is that a mask? No way, are you wearing a mask? I've never seen her in a mask. Look at you. Wow, she's being very politically correct."

Trump is a homicidal maniac. That's all.

Those in the current Republican party do not value them in the slightest and only paid lip service to them at best.

The current party would have to completely collapse and another replace it before they return to that. Its just too ingrained into the party at this point to cut that cancer out.

Yarp. The GOP as a major political party needs to die. Then Democrats can become the de facto conservative party and progressives can finally safely split away into a Progressive party to have a 2-party system that more accurately reflects the wishes of the general population. Or we could finally enact ranked voting (yes, I know that's a pipe dream) and do away with the flawed "big tent" concept.

But that isn't a winning strategy right now. That's why they are losing!

why did you report that bank robber, and attacking his income!!!

why did you report that guy stealing at your job and attacking his income!!!

why did you report that manager for sexual harassment of the female staff with dick pics, and attacking his income.

get it yet?

They were supposed to do that in 2008 when they got swept away, and again in 2012. We ended up with the astroturfed tea party and Trump.
