Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[eschatological]

Well he's also running out of ways to subtly say "black people" so it's getting more overt.

I mean, he made it overt in that very interview when he mentioned Cory Booker several times, claiming he would be in charge of HUD, and that "Cory Booker would be coming to your suburbs."

From the replies I read on Twitter, a bunch of thirsty white suburban housewives were fine with the idea of Senator Booker showing up in their neighborhood.

[Felya]

Which is something that will never happen to the GoP.

You mean the tea party swinging it to bat shit crazy, resulting in Trump?

[Paranoid Android]

Starting tomorrow, you may see Joe Biden campaign signs and yard banners on your neighbor's island in the video game "Animal Crossing: New Horizon" too. https://t.co/R9piDagy25

Political signs in a video game to own the Trumpkins. Love It.

I don’t know if this is the right spot for it, but it seems like the Q of QAnon has been doxxed, after someone tracked his IP... it turns out to be Jim Watkins:

From helicopter repairman to leader of the Internet’s ‘darkest reaches’: The life and times of 8chan owner Jim Watkins

Color me shocked. The leader of QAnon, being the owner of the website that primarily pushed the website? Would not surprise me.

Reminder about where Trump's priorities lie. Not with combating a pandemic, but with making sure unpaid college football players can risk their health for our entertainment.

I live in Iowa. I want football back but our infection rates are out of control, including the county where the University of Iowa is, Johnson County leading the way.

There is 618 cases in the University of Iowa atm as of 4 days ago. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/n...asses-20200828

On August 29th, the Hill reported that there was 1200 cases on the University of Alabama, I wouldn't be surprised if they finally pull their head out of their ass and cancel their season as well. Because by the time they play their first game, which I think is in 25 days, they are going to have thousands more cases.

He bought it, after the original owner no longer wanted anything to do with it. As soon as he brought it back, Q returned to the platform, without missing a beat. His YouTube channel is pretty much QAnon, without mentioning it... and... ah... yoga...

As part of the house hearing, he said that his revenue from the site is only 12k per year... he literally bought a platform, to spread his conspiracy theory and people fell for it.

I am worried Trump can win. Anyone not worried clearly isn't paying attention.

But you are spending a lot of time, whining about something so little.

He is also not voting... that’s the primary conflict most people have with him. It all sounds very agreeable and completely logical, then... bam!... don’t vote Biden... It’s pretty strange... causes a lot of weird accusations.

Is he still mad his pedophilia website got shutdown?

Even 4chan found 8chan degenerate, that's something.

Is he one of those that thinks that Bernie didn't get in, so that means he must go the opposite end of the spectrum and vote for the worst president in US history?

Yeah, I think Edge called it projecting, but I agree with you... this is revenge...

Close, but I don’t want to turn this into a thread about him. Let’s leave it at, you are close...

I agree...dammit.
Too many saying Biden can't lose, and that smells like 2016 all over again.

Perception, versus reality:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/30/polit...sis/index.html

Yet, the same poll found that Americans believed by a 51% to 46% margin that Trump would defeat Biden in the election. (Among voters, it was a tighter 50% to 48% spread in favor of Trump.)

The polling on who voters think is going to win is a marked reversal of what was happening at this point four years ago. Voters believed that Clinton was going to win by a 62% to 28% margin in a mid-August Quinnipiac University poll.

[Edge-]

Like who? Because almost everything I've seen whenever someone posts a poll with Biden ahead are people saying to ignore the polls and just act like he's behind. Folks seem to have learned from 2016.

[unfilteredJW]

That wasn't outrage. That was disappointment and only confirms they are using the same staffers as 2016. I still think Biden will win, but it won't be because of a virtual yard sign. This waste of time and energy will get Biden zero more votes. I suppose it may make a few more enthused, but if this is their attempt to garner unlikely or reluctant voters this will do nothing.

Yeah fuck those 100 million Americans. Who would ever try to anything so moronic as expanding an electorate to win.


Zoomers and millennials don't need their policy concerns addressed. It,s not like they vote. /sarcasm

I was talking to the adults.

Direct your tantrums elsewhere.

[Felya]

Zoomers and millennials don't need their policy concerns addressed. It,s not like they vote.

Yeah, you don’t speak for either. Especially while saying nothing, about Trump spending the last week demonizing issues that are important to zoomers and millennials. Do you think Trump will win because he claimed Biden is a puppet of the extreme left or because Biden wasn’t left enough?

[Elegiac]

Are we quite finished with people having a Tan Suit tantrum over the fact the Biden campaign is advertising in Animal Crossing?

It certainly is an interesting change of pace from "Biden's campaign isn't advertising hard enough".

If they did, maybe Bernie wouldn't have lost the primary. *sips tea*

My gf literally logged in for the first time in a month, just to check it out. I thought it was a fun treat... I want a Fall Guys skin with aviator glasses and a JOE rainbow...

No, but you see I'm still super salty that I lost the primary to the point I'm willing to see the country burn to the ground unless my demands are met. /s

Remind me how these folks are different from Trumpsters, again?

[Blur4stuff]

Trump and republicans have done absolutely nothing to bring in voters that went for Clinton. They've done the opposite. They've made Clinton voters hate them more while chasing away moderate republicans and giving them to Biden.

The wild card is how effective will Trump's cheating be and whether or not they've figured out a way to monkey with the results in ways we don't even know about.
