Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[wunksta]

Former Bush presidency made Obama shine up too much...you all even supported Obama-approved police brutality. I expect the same such approval for Biden.

Nice gaslighting.

Evidence suggests several state Senate candidates were plants funded by dark money
(it's already a week old, maybe was posted here alrady)

...

Why am I not surprised anymore?

Now that's journalism. No sarcasm. That's actually excellent work.

[kaelleria]

I saw a similar story and was likewise not overly surprised. They basically introduce spoilers to try to split the vote in close contests.

It worked in at least 1 Florida race.

There's a reason the GOP is against campaign finance reform.

Local papers do some of the best investigative journalism in fact Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald is the one who took down Jeffery Epstein with her investigative journalism. Sadly local papers are dying out due to lower and lower subscriber counts.

Nice gaslighting.

No gaslight heree.
But not surpised by the defense.
It's no different when "progressives" did complain against Obama...and dems defended him.

Progressives hate Obama for his drone strikes and the dems who did nothing against police brutality, what are you on about?

You made a sweeping generalization about how everyone here actually supported police brutality when it was under Obama. That's just absurd. Please, find one example of this.

Did you complain about this sort of thing then?
Don't think so...

Where? In fact, many of the policies that Obama did to try to stem police brutality were overturned by Trump. Obama never explicitly promoted police brutality like trump has (multiple tones) and in fact what little Obama tried to do (you know having a beer with an officer and a black man that was accosted for entering his own house) was met with derision.

Yes, police brutality is bi-partisan, but can you show any evidence of what you’re saying?

Yes! Why do you like to lie?

And here we go...points for invoking Trump, because that makes it all good.

Yes I did.

Don't lie please.

[wunksta]

Don't lie please.

Alright, it's clear you are just trolling.

[AntiFascistVoter]

Yes! Why do you like to lie?

Accelerationists are very mad about Trump losing. After 4 8 years of Trump, they were expecting to be leading revolutionary armies.

But it's another 4 years of podcasts and shrinking patreon numbers.

Also, CyberPunk was delayed again. So they cant even roleplay their dystopian badassness for a few more months. That ruined their entire Christmas vacation plans of being 'jacked in'.

[Shadowferal]

Alright, it's clear you are just trolling.

And you're gaslighting trying to feel better about it.
Military hardware was being sold to police depts...an eo could have stopped it...temporarily, as it involved a contract, but at least the attempt could have been made.

[Breccia]

Don't lie please.

This thread is neither about Obama, nor police brutality.

These Politics forums didn't even really exist before Trump. You're asking for evidence that can't exist.

Please post constructively.

What makes you think opposing Trump means you support police brutality under dems?

So to "prove" your ridiculous claim that Democrats gave Obama a pass on police brutality, you link to an article by someone--who at least used to ostensibly be on the left--condemning it, citing evidence from a progressive, anti-police brutality legal fund not to mention truthout.org (!), as your way to demonstrate Democrats supported a police crackdown on...Occupy Wall St. I think you've embarrassed yourself sufficiently for the day.

[Breccia]

Not linking, fuck Trump.

In Detroit, there are FAR MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE. Nothing can be done to cure that giant scam. I win Michigan!

Yes it was immediately flagged.

Trump tweets are not evidence.

Trump tweets do not hold legal value.

"When police deployed military-style equipment during the protests after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, critics said the gear added to friction between law enforcement and demonstrators, and could be an incitement to violence. The Obama administration placed limits on the federal military surplus program, which had already supplied free gear, including MRAPs, to thousands of departments.

But the Trump administration lifted those barriers in 2017, and the distribution of military gear began to rise again. With the Floyd protests, experts — and some members of Congress — are again raising objections to the "militarization" of the police."

You'll note the words "in 2014, critics," "renew debate," and "are again raising objections," not to mention "Obama administration placed limits." Out of idle curiosity, why do you support a worldview that requires you to lie constantly?
