Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[eschatological]

Except she's half-Indian (I think) and I'm pretty sure it's a Hindu goddess, so it'll blow right back in their faces.

Kamala is the Hindi word for "Lotus." In Hinduism, she's an aspect of Parvati, but I don't know anyone who actually cares to worship Hindu goddesses worship her as Kamala over Parvati (who is her more common name).

The word is definitively associated with the lotus flower.

well, if its actually as corrupt as you and kasuke claim, the Trump campaign will be all over it
I doubt Biden didnt vet through that issue

so while we havent gotten an answer, I doubt its going to be the poison pill you two are making it to be

I mean, as if conservatives are going to attack the Dem candidate for VP for NOT prosecuting their own Secretary of the Treasury.

Again, it's an attack from the Left of her....largely unfounded and based on speculation, and largely irrelevant, because Bernie's people couldn't get him the nomination despite him being the clear frontrunner.

Given his expected voters, he like Trump, knows his voters wouldn't care.

This is a competition between brands to see whose fanboys are most loyal and dedicated.

Well, of course it would blow in their face. It'd be utter lunacy.

Like how Fox news were blasting Obama for wearing a bicycle helmet, and comparing him to the pictures of shirtless Putin. Like, what the fuck?

That was the joke. That it'd be insane. And something I'm half-expecting to see on Fox news.

But then again, insanity seems to sell quite well over there, so what the hell do I know...

Neera Tanden frames it in a powerful and poetic way, from The Atlantic.

All of the "totally independent TRUE progressives" on Twitter are blowing their loads about Tulsi now, so it's nice to get all of that out of the way so I don't have to hear another fucking word about it for the next few months.

rank and file corruption is in the resume, it's not a disqualifier regardless of party affiliation lol.

You haven't looked at her record as a prosecutor have you?

Looks like you are projecting.

What the fuck is with Tulsi and "Progressives"?

Really it's just Joe Rogan fans worried about aging out of their parents healthcare coverage. They're honestly quite bad at pretending to be progressive.

Unlike others in her party and Washington in general, Tulsi Gabbard rather uncharacteristically has values and a soul. Unlike the ghoul Pelosi, the snake Warren, or the human-turtle hybrid Mitch.

Nothing like voting "Present" to show her values and soul.

[Jimmy Woods]

I like Kamala as VP. She's good at grandstanding and is very charismatic so hopefully can help sure up a blue wave. Wooooooo.

Still not a Joe fan despite his physical prowess of being able to handle himself on a bicycle, something even 60 year old in shape Simon Cowell cannot do effectively and most definitely something 2 hand water drinking, ramp fumbling Trump cannot do. BUT, after tonight it's 100% confirmed Republicans are sending a Qanon terrorist to congress it's either vote Biden/Harris or vote for the radical violent right-wing. Easy choice. Also, LOL @ Tucker tonight having a guest on saying Joe Biden is a SECRET Muslim shhhh and Tucker not laughing and dismissing it like he would if he wasn't a fucking hack and loser.

Hopefully Trump and MAGA land are excited now that these four are going back to congress for 2 more years and maybe 20+ more to come:

The MSM and Right-wingers tried desperately to defeat them but they couldn't.

For an obvious charade of an impeachment. See that is the thing, Dems, nor the press went after him for any legit reason, like him basically not keeping pretty much any of his promises and in the end it seemed like they were mostly pissed he was .5% less trigger happy for war than the establishment blob in DC and media is accustomed to.

Democrats only serious objection to Trump was that he wasn't a Democrat, had he been a Democrat or switched parties tomorrow everyone in this thread would instantly scold you for not supporting him.

You're out of your mind if you genuinely believe this trash.

[Benggaul]

Trump WAS a Democrat and tried running as one. He was practically laughed out of the party. Then he joined the Republicans and they ate his shit up and begged for more.

But hey, it's Theo. Again: what they don't plagiarize, they make up.

[Theodarzna]

Believe it? I know it.

The good news out of this is getting to watch everyone who ever said ACAB and arguing passionately for "Defund/Abolish the Police" start doing gymnastics worthy of Olympic Championship medals to justify voting for Biden.

Ex-Lifelong Republican here. I wish he had been a democrat. Then he'd never have made it to the primaries. Him being a republican is one reason among many that I left that party of frauds and liars. Anyone who supports him spits on the grave of what proper republicans were. It's become a group of hypocrites and boot-lickers.

You're a spinster hoping Trump can win again, otherwise you'll have to go back to your cave, denying you ever supported that con-artist. Don't pretend to be anti-democrat. You just go with whatever person can con and/swindle you next, doesn't matter what they pretend to be, democrat or republican.

If it was so obvious, you vote "No". Is that too hard to do if you're principled?

Not exactly true.
After everyone else running for 2016 lost...and even then they were pretty damn reluctant
This was the field then;
Donald Trump
Ted Cruz:
Marco Rubio:
John Kasich:
Ben Carson:
Jeb Bush:
Rand Paul:
Mike Huckabee:
Carly Fiorina:

That's a fucking lie.

I get that you love the guy, but Democrats have long loathed him.
