Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Hinastorm]

Pardoning himself would be the prime example of conflict of interest and abusing your position of power for personal gain. I don't see how that wouldn't cause revolt. Though it would be great if he relinquished his power to Pence, who would then hang him out to dry as Trump's no longer useful.

Him pardoning himself for federal crimes isn't going to matter. We're already ass deep into the moronic "Lets come together and heal" messaging from Biden. Trump will never face any justice from the feds.

New York state, on the other hand? They're ready to hand trump his ass. They don't give a fuck about Biden's dumb "lets make peace with insane Q-anons" thing.

Not to mention his debt collectors, his taxes, and the rape case he's in the middle of where he's been refusing to give the court his DNA.

Something is going to stick, and he'll be fucked. Luckily we don't need naive Biden to do it.

[kaelleria]

Yes, they did.

Except, the rural/suburban shift happened literally nationwide.

Omar knocking on doors probably helped, but it doesn't change the fact that this election was won by that shift. Running 20 points behind the top of the ticket and 14 points behind your 2018 vote share does not mean you're helping as much as you think you are.

[Fencers]

I am drunk as hell right now.

[Fugus]

Yeah, I don't know how they calculate that. It will probably be McConnell since Bernie and Angus King are still Independents but caucus with Democrats

I think if it came to that, they would immediately switch party affiliation to make that change. Or it comes to a vote who is speaker and Harris is the tie breaker anyways.

"Jim Rutenberg, in New York 2m ago

The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging irregularities in some in-person voting in Maricopa, County, Ariz., seeking to delay certification of results pending an investigation."


Of all the lawsuit, this is the dumbest of them all. WHY WASTE MONEY ON ARIZONA?

I truly believe the lawyers are milking Trump's delusion.

Will Trump even pay them? I would ask for full payment in advance. In cash.

And John Kasich lost Ohio for Biden and the Lincoln Project didn't win over any Republican votes, but let's invite them to the table, surely they have a winning strategy.

All I'm asking for is to invite people to the table who actually fucking helped. Not Republican grifters who literally did nothing. Democrats are not going to keep winning by listening to anti-abortion, anti-gay rights people like John Kasich or the architects of the Iraq War at the Lincoln Project. The fact that anyone even needs to say to Democrats "please don't let Republicans run the party" is absolutely fucking insane. They didn't help Democrats win, and they don't stand for anything Democratic voters want.

How worried about Monday's court battle are you? The Supreme Court could rule in favor of Trump.

Are you 4 or are you simple?

You've been asking the same 3 questions in a loop since Monday.

[muto]

Rashida Tlaib is from Michigan and helped campaign for Biden there, even when his campaign had stopped canvassing her campaign did it anyway.

If that's not worthy of a seat at the table and Biden/Democrats would rather give one to Republicans like John Kasich who lost Biden Ohio or the Lincoln Project who won Biden no Republican votes, that's fucking ridiculous.

Do people who put in the work for Biden and helped him win not deserve a seat at the table?

Yes. If Democrats want to win more they need to go back to being moderate and drop socialists like Tlaid and AOC who are both part of DSA.

[beanman12345]

Guys, seriously, newly-active, old accounts that have previously posed as an incel asking braindead questions shouldn't be given the time of day.

ahh now it makes sense. thanks for posting this. someone new to add to the ignore list.

WHY WASTE MONEY ON ARIZONA?

Trump needs all of them. Remember, Biden was at 253 until recently. NV, PA, AZ and possibly GA are all looking to go against him.

He needs to block every single state on that list, maybe not NV I guess, to stop the legal, honest election from declaring Biden the winner. He cannot allow Arizona to come to their honest, legal conclusion.

And that is why Arizona. Trump's about to wipe, so he's blowing all his cooldowns.

[Flower Milk]

They need to drop 1/3 of the party (progressives) in favor of trying to court "moderate Republicans", after Trump went from 90% of Republicans voting for him in 2016, to 93% of Republicans voting for him in 2020? Especially right after a bunch of progressive policies passed in red states like legal weed and minimum wage raises.

Yeah seems like a winning strategy, go for it.

I hope they do something. its also been like a few hours. Lets wait and see what happens.

Trump's contesting is tantamount to blowing all his cooldowns when the boss just hit the enrage timer and is still only in phase one.

Why do you think I'm in favor of inviting them to the table? Lincoln Project is a bunch of grifters who accomplished what they set out to do - raise money to rebuild their party. Kasich is wholly incompatible with our party.

The DSA can do whatever the fuck it wants as long as its quiet, but its not the blue print for winning elections nationwide.

Reps and Senators need to run races that make sense for their district and state and not get attached to the divisive rhetoric that has been attached to DSA/Justice Dems/etc... candidates.

Lurching to the fringe left is not the answer and neither is moving right. Fixing our goddamned messaging is the answer.

They have no standing.

This is what I'm talking about.

And he has no evidence. Guiliani should keep his head low after what was seen on Borat 2. Fucking ghoul.

[Bodakane]

Today we celebrate.
Fuck it, tomorrow we celebrate some more.
Monday we focus on winning Georgia's senate run offs.

I am drunk as hell right now.

Oh, i forgot, mojitos to celebrate!!!!

Trump isn't paying shit his entire legal fund is from his fucking cultist who are eternally grifted including Lindsey "Help give me money my campaign is broke" Graham to the tune of 500,000 dollars. What is even funnier is in the fine print for the donations it says a large portion of the money is being used to pay off Trump's campaign debt. So isn't paying a dime for this parade of charade lawsuits and he isn't going to pay a penny for his campaign. Trumpsters what would happen if the phrase "A fool and his money are soon parted" became a literal human being and greeted you.
