Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[TACOshake]

Barbara Lee and other CPC members endorsed Biden:
- Ro Khanna
- Andy Levin
- Jim McGovern
- Jamie Raskin
- Mark Pocan
- Deb Haaland
- Katherine Clark



Khanna is notable, as the national co-chair of Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign.

So Biden keeps winning over actual progressives.

Randos that live in Podcasts or somewhere in undisclosed Europe, are still holding out.

I'm with Barbara Lee on this

He’s a tribalist. You’re either with the Democrats or you’re against them, in his opinion.

safe to say it sums up a lot of peoples opinions in this thread.

Seeing as how Bernie now endorsed Biden... selecting Biden is... uhm... “pleasing” everyone...

seeing as it's pretty much standard practice for losing candidates to back the frontrunner in hopes of getting a seat in the administration or tapped as a vp this isn't surprising he did it in 2016 back then as well and i did not like it then either but realize it's part of politics.

you do realize that sign was made out of the irony of the being told by the left she can't do what she wants with her body right? Specifically those that think they will be forced to take a vaccine to go anywhere.

That’s a mask on the picture, not a needle. So you’re making things up or she’s an idiot, or both.

Is the irony how deliberately you're lying about left-wing views?

She's attempting to parody a pro-choice slogan, the reason she's an idiot is that abortion doesn't affect anyone but the pregnant woman. Wandering about without taking proper precautions during a pandemic puts everyone you encounter at risk.

She's just an idiot, who doesn't understand the principles behind the slogan she's parodying. There is no "irony" here. Just an idiot being an idiot.

If we were talking about a form of COVID-19 that wasn't transmittable that she wanted the "choice" to infect herself with, to get her infection over with, then she'd have a point. But that's basically a vaccine. And essentially nobody is trying to deny vaccines for this, on the left; that's a right-wing talking point parroted by idiots.

Oh totally, he is as “tribalist” as the rest... which is sort of the point.

No, I was explicitly saying that the obvious being missed, is due lack of understanding... instead of malicious intent. You know... defending her integrity... but, if you want it to be malicious, all power to you. She is doing it to harm America... feel better?

Again, huge difference between “implicating” and “inferring”... Last I checked, linking a wiki page, wasn’t highbrow. Even if you interpret it as such... the issue is your interpretation, not the act of linking Hedlon’s Razor. That shit is basic... you need to ask your self, what clouded your judgment to come to the conclusion you did. Since, I can’t read minds, I’m not about to infer what you are thinking.

[Theodarzna]

Just counting the votes not received by Sanders in the primaries, he does not please everyone.

Are you saying if the choice was a Democrat ticket headed by Sanders, you would elect not to vote?

That was the intent yes. But it only actually functions as irony to complete morons who don't have any critical thinking or analysis skills.

When a woman has an abortion it ONLY affects their body. It doesn't have consequences for the bodies of anyone else.

For this imbecile, not wearing a mask or not getting vaccinated absolutely can and will have direct negative consequences on the bodies of others. Making it far more likely that she will catch it and spread it to others.

[Felya]

Are you saying if the choice was a Democrat ticket headed by Sanders, you would elect not to vote?

Are you saying that if Bernie won, you wouldn’t be fueling the communist conspiracy, as you have Biden conspiracy? Let’s not pretend you would be pleased, regardless who Democrats choose.

Sine when did Theo turn to a "far"-left supporter? Strange times we live in

[jonnysensible]

we sure there is going to be an election at this rate?

The boogaloo force is looking mighty fucking dangerous right now.

[Orbitus]

Is that a normal traffic road? Is there no police removing that moron from the street? You know some people need to get to work otherwise Corona is the least of your problems.

The only morons I see, are the dipshits in the Trucks violating stay at home orders because Fuhrer Shitstain said to "liberate" your state by violating Virus orders to spread the fucking virus.

[Felya]

What a scrub... look at her hanging out the passenger seat of her best friends car, trying to holler at me...

What? You don’t drive to work with someone falling out of your passenger seat, with a crudely written “Land of the free” poster. Totally normal and rational people driving to work... getting blocked by these nurses who totally have nothing better to do than get in the way of people spreading a pandemic.

Maybe the ship has sunk enough for him to abandon.

[cuafpr]

what the fuck are you talking about?

there's a deadly virus going around people, be responsible for once

talking about pro-choice ralies where people hold signs saying my body my choice.. so the right is using it back at them to say their body their choice in regards to leaving their homes, going out, not taking vaccines, not wearing mask.

not supporting them but that is what that's the point of the sign.

Again, this isn't a hypocrisy. Because pandemics aren't just about your body. It's a communicable disease. You can spread it. You're endangering others by leaving your home without taking proper precautions, or refusing a vaccination without a good reason (and about the only ones that are justifiable involve negative medical reactions to the vaccine or compromised immune systems that can't handle it).

The same isn't true of abortion, which is entirely about one person's right to control the use of their own body.

No inconsistency whatsoever, just right-wingers either truly not understanding basic principles, or lying about them to push an agenda.

But it isn't just their body, they are infectious and will get other people sick, as far as I know, getting a vaccine or having an abortion isn't fucking CONTAGIOUS.

i am well aware... and i'm not saying i agree .. just saying why she and others chose it cause that's how they view it.....

I can understand Jeffrey Dahmer. It was his body, and he chose to use it to murder and dismember other people. Pro-choice !

[Hobb]

Actually that issue is already addressed in a couple of laws.

A law passed in 1845 marks the first Tuesday in November as the general election date. An older law in 1792 requires the general election to be held by the third Wednesday in December.

The 20th amendment of the Constitution also states if no candidate is ratified by Jan 20th, then the current sitting president and VP are removed from office and the line of secession will be followed.

End result if the election is cancelled Nancy Pelosi becomes president by default.

[Masark]

No, because if there's no election, Nancy, like the rest of the House, is out of office on January 3rd.

So we move on to the next in the line, President pro tempore of the Senate, which is Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). He'll still be in office, like 64 other senators, because he isn't up for reelection this year.
