Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Felya]

Honestly that does seem to be the strategy, and why the Democratic establishment ghouls flipped their lid over Justin Amash entering the race as a spoiler against Biden. In the end their whole shtick is to shuck the Socialists and Lefties for Republicans and the CIA fanclub.

Uhm... it’s anti Trump republicans claiming it won’t help. Like the Lincoln Project and Walsh...

Democrats shouldn’t freak out just yet. It’s just as likely that in November he could hurt the president.

@PACOX FYI

Are we done talking about Reade now that she's once again lied/changed her story?

Now that Biden says to pull out the official records so the public can view her complaint, she's now saying she never actually made an official complaint despite in the past saying she made an official complaint?

She's a Russian saboteur. At this point, she needs to be sued for defamation and likely put in jail if she violates a gag order put on her for her fairy tail obsession with Joe Biden fingering her.

I have yet to see this, do you have a source?

[Lenonis]

longest breath hold on record is 22 mins 22 secs. 22 secs longer than the previous. who knows maybe they will reach your 30 mins one day. you know..as long as folks keep trying.

Thanks for proving my point.

Which is a good thing an identical thing didn't happen with Trump. Or did you forget the payouts to the pornstars, after he lied about it ever happening? You Trumpkins are beyond adorable. Do you have a plan for after the world burns?

Damn, yeah - that's just awful.

The important thing here, the distinguishing thing, is that we do NOT attack her. Let her story and issues die away naturally. The Trumpsters would be sending death threats. We need to be better. We are better.

Right, I would never attack her. I actually believe there is a mental disorder in play here, and as someone who suffers from one myself, would never do on another. Trumpsters have no empathy or shame, so it's not surprising they resort to such tactics.

[Lenonis]

no it's defeatism. whining because you can't change your system and then refusing to do anything to change it.

Thanks for the strawman, but next time let's not invent things I didn't say.

[Felya]

The house is establishment ineffective and only passing bills first passed by the senate. useless.

Yes, US has 3 branches of federal government, with congress represented as two equal parts, the house and the senate. It’s house first, then senate:

[cubby]

The house is establishment ineffective and only passing bills first passed by the senate. useless.

I see your lies continue with abandon. Congrats on making the world a worse place.

The House has passed more than 400 bills this year, as you well know, all of which are sitting, unaddressed or actioned upon, by the Senate.

[Thepersona]

defeatism at it's finest. of course nothing's possible if you give up before you even try.

Dude, i'd love to agree with you, but i happen to live in reality, where you have less than optimal choices and you have to vote for the less bad one. Biden IS the less bad one, at leas between the 2 candidates that have any real chance of winning this (and again, No third party candidate will win, so voting for them is wasting your vote, or even worse giving it to dotard tang, if you happen to live in any swing state).

You trust a segregationist homophobe with a history of working with vile racists and far right Republicans to promote a liberal supreme?

Why the fuck do we let burner accounts stay here?

[Felya]

I see your lies continue with abandon. Congrats on making the world a worse place.

Remember the good old times of school house rock, instead of turtles or some bullshit? Well I don’t!!! I was under the iron fist of communism!!! Cyka blyat...

I have a strange since of humor...

[Edge-]

The house establishment is ineffective and only passing bills first passed by the senate. useless.

I swear, y'all literally either haven't the foggiest clue about how the US government actually works or you're wilfully ignoring that.

Controlling the House gives them very limited power overall, but still gives them some power. Trump tax cut 2.0? Yeah, that's not gonna happen now.

They've passed tons of great legislation, it's just sitting dead at McConnell's door because they can't force him to take up legislation in the Senate.

I'll take the ability to stymie awful Republican legislation like the Trump tax cut over giving Republicans full control of the government however I can get it. And if that means looking to establishment Democrats and Tom Perez to deliver that victory because the Justice Democrats are failing spectacularly, then so be it.

[Thepersona]

The house establishment is ineffective and only passing bills introduced by the senate. useless.

You know that Turtle McConell is blocking almost every bill that has passed in the house since the dems retook it, right?

That actually helps his point that they are useless...

Oh ye, go ahead and try to wave it away by trying to imply she has a mental disorder.

Really classy.

[Thepersona]

That actually helps his point that they are useless...

Because it is by design, not because they're stopped by corporate greed or something like that

- - - Updated - - -

So why does the House continue to pass bills introduced by the Senate?

Because they're doing their job? Your problem is with the Senate and the Turtle, not with the house.

[TigTone]

That actually helps his point that they are useless...

Mitch is a evil smart man, who cares about only one thing. Power.

As long as he holds power and has others basically begging him to pass bills he will never change.

I’m pretty sure his dream is to for trump to die, Dems and republicans to die from corona and have the courts he packed make him king.

[Thepersona]

Democrats have failed as much as Trump and the GOP at their response thus far. Full Stop. They are both terrible, and passed Trillions of dollars in no-time with only single peep coming from Republican. The only good part was the part worked on by Sanders. Huge Surprise there.

They blocked the republican led covid stimulus package and made their own on the house. WTH are you talking about?

[Felya]

Because it is by design, not because they're stopped by corporate greed or something like that

I know, but I need to highlight faults in what people I usually agree with say. Otherwise, I seem biased...

[PACOX]

That's largely the accusation levied against both Clinton and Obama too. So let's compare their "compromised" SCOTUS nominees, vs. the nominees of those stalwarts of non-compromise, the Republicans:

Clinton/Obama:
RBG
Breyer
Sotomayor
Kagan
Garland (nominated)

Bush Jr./Trump:
Roberts
Alito
Gorsuch
Kavanaugh

Which list do you prefer?

Clinton and Obama ran as progressives) relative to their time). Biden wants to go backwards and Republicans have shown they can pull him even further back with a little bit of pressure.

[JohnBrown1917]

It's actually more insulting. Kinda of sad that is where their mind went.

Just goes to show how prevelant the rape culture is in the US, even outside its prison system. Speaking of the later... Biden contributed a lot to the very high incarceration rate the US(highest in the world) has with his crime bill.

That was the work of Nixon and the war on drugs.
