Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Mehrunes]

Scotland derp fries Mars bars and votes consistently left wing *ponders*

And yet when push came to shove they voted to stay in UK because "welp, we'll lose EU funding" only to be fucked in the ass by Brexit shortly afterwards. Besides, they likely balance out (by killing it) the impact of deep fried stuff with haggis.

You know as fucked as florida is, 'cause fuck florida, they at least didn't vote that shitty cunt laura loomer in.

If you work 8 hours a day and assume you have 8 hours of sleep that's another 8 hours where you can make an effort. If you can't use Google to check in 2020 then I'm sorry you're failing to live in the 21st century and need to adapt.

It's the overworked and underpaid Latino farm workers that are the problem, not the Biden campaign for not reaching out to them. Again, continue blaming everyone else but the campaign or the Democratic party, and make 0 changes and keep seeing how well it goes for the Democratic party.

Am I to take it from the results so far that Trump actually increased his vote amongst black people?

[zorkuus]

What works for you doesn't work for the rest of the electorate, many of whom work on farms in the blistering heat for 8+ hours a day and have exactly 0 time to check out what a politician's agenda is because they also have a family to take care of. Assuming that everyone in America has a cushy desk job and spends all day checking Twitter is delusional, you have to appeal to the working class people in this country by actually reaching out to them and telling them what you stand for or even just helping them register to vote.

If you have time to go to a rally, you have time to look up a few things from the internet/TV. Again, I'm not saying it's a negative thing to reach out to voters but the american elections seem to be more like a sporting event. A circus, reality TV. People care more about "showmanship" than the actual issues.

Latinos are all over him for some reason.

if calming people down makes me an asshole then fine. Suck it up buttercup. I'm not going to panic and wet my pants when the election is still going on and Biden still has a large chance to win over Trump.

You're not calming anyone down. As a matter of fact, the only person freaking out in this thread is the guy screaming to calm down in all caps.

[Grapemask]

That will definitely be a downer. Them Georgia ballots ‘could’ favour Ossoff. Gideon ‘could’ win Maine. If that happens along with Mark Kelly, and then Biden wins...it’s fine. But that’s a LOT of ifs.

I'm hearing a lot of speculation that Perdue's seat has a pretty good chance of heading to a runoff just like the special election seat. Third parties bled off just enough that Perdue only needs to lose a handful of vote share to lose a majority.

[Magical Mudcrab]

Funny because i'm the one who's trying to calm people down.

This is going to sound harsh, but you're not calming anyone down. If anything you're adding tension because what you're doing is, quite frankly, very annoying. Tone policing during an election when emotions are high is always going to rile people up, even if they don't respond. Skimming past and seeing posts that read as if you're telling people to go away if they are just going to be negative will never be received well.

Please understand I'm not trying to be mean, but for a lot of people this situation is pretty bad.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Why?

He's going to say "I won, the election is rigged, stop counting."

This. What's the point of listening to that troll.

we won't know the exact breakdown till all the votes are counted.

Yup, he needs 50%+1 and with the amount of outstanding dem votes, not sure he'll keep what he has now which is 51%

[PACOX]

Why?

He's going to say "I won, the election is rigged, stop counting."

Because...

Im addicted okay!

I have a problem!

What more do you want me to say?

Its like a tick. I can't go to sleep until I know where the clown is.

i honestly don't care anymore. people panicking right now are annoying as hell. if your emotions are that bad then go to sleep. im glad im not far left or right. my skin isnt thin like paper.

Trumps tone sounds like he's fixing to lose this

EU funding was keeping Scotland afloat Tbh. Plus at the time EU support in uk overall was over 65%. It wasn't until Boris went on his "This is easy path to PM" view and farage Nazi inspired posters did it go the other way. (Plus the courts said leave cheated so heavily if the vote was legally binding it would have been thrown out.)

Trump absolutely rambling right now lol.

What else is new?

Assuming that everyone in America has a cushy desk job and spends all day checking Twitter is delusional, you have to appeal to the working class people in this country by actually reaching out to them and telling them what you stand for or even just helping them register to vote. Or even better, reviving unions in this country and holding union meetings to tell people to vote Democratic. Democrats literally used to do this before unions were killed off in this country, and they used to actually win because of it. Now unions overwhelmingly support Trump.

So they don't have the time to even check a candidate's Twitter, but they totally have the time to sit in a meeting with a candidate they don't even know if they like yet? This doesn't exactly pan out.
