Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Benggaul]

I'm way too excited for this debate. If Biden makes it through unscathed, things will be looking as good as can be. This is a critical moment.

A lot of people will also be shocked to find out that he isn't senile.

Meh, I think it'll turn out exactly as I said before: Trump will just toss out insults, lie and generally not answer questions. Biden will talk about policy and for the most part have a strong performance, but he'll stutter once or misstate one thing (think "millions" instead of "thousands") and THAT will be what every Trump supporter (and "concerned independents") will be talking about in here for a week afterwards.

All in all I find the debates this year more pointless than they've ever been. There aren't any undecided voters at this stage in this particular election.

Finance journalist looking at Trump's finances for his Aberdeen golf course found some interesting details.

Every year Trump loans himself millions of dollars for the club, and apparently spends all of it at the club...despite there being no actual record of the money being spent on improvements. He then uses that money to add value to the club as if it's appreciating in value.

Problems abound. The place is actually a gigantic money pit, Trump's violating multiple laws likely by acting as owner/investor, creditor, and operator and not detailing where money is spent, and there's no way all this money comes from Trump.

It's sure looking a lot like the golf course is simply a front to launder huge sums of money.

Yeah, but holding criminals accountable would be "political"

So...he skates I assume.

[Milchshake]

Watching BernieBros and TulsiBros go full QAnon... one of the least surprising developments of 2020.

Yeah I agree with you 100% here. Trump will brood, say "wrong", say fake, say nothing of substances, Biden will talk policy and make mispeak once, the same people will hate trump, the same people will love trump, and the same retarded "concerned independents" will be "hurr durr biden bad" for the next month. Geez either way I just want this whole election over, kinda bored of the repetitiveness of this thread, and anxiety needs to either go down if biden wins, or let deep depression sink in if Trump wins.

The funny part is how much prep work Trump sycophants are doing ahead of time to excuse his poor performance tonight. They're already saying Biden's gotten the questions ahead of time and he'll be getting answers through an earpiece. Oh and performance enhancing drugs. Oh and Trump is too busy dealing with administrative things to properly prep. Oh and (etc. etc. ad nauseum). Even Trump supporters have zero confidence in his ability. It's hilarious.

This is why Trump's priming them with his "challenge" for Biden to be drug tested.

[Edge-]

Apparently there's some nonsense "FAKE NEWS" about Biden's camp pushing for breaks every 30 minutes.

Trumpworld media/social influencers are getting desperate.

Nope.

Biden will at some point pause to think or stumble over a word.

The maniacs on the right will take that moment, doctor it, magnify it and use it to claim Biden has dementia.

While completely and utterly ignoring whatever rambling Trump will be doing.

[Thepersona]

The disconnect here is that people don't seem able to grasp how Biden can be 'just as bad' as a choice. Those who do that underestimate how displeased parts of the public are with the status quo of the Democratic Party.

Then they shouldnt be thrilled with fascism.

The Trump campaign has probably realized that they set a trap for themselves and that they walked right into it.

There were people around Turmp warning him for months that attacking Bidens mental state could backfire on them since it would lower expectations for Biden at the debate, expectations he could easily surpass and it would utterly shatter Trumps attacks on his mental state.

It's why we're getting such insane bullshit from the right like 'Biden has dementia but takes drugs to suppress it!' or 'Biden has dementia and wears an earpiece to have answers fed to him!'.

[omerome]

I love that in light of the resident's tax information being in the news, that Biden and Harris released their 2019 tax returns just hours before the debate.

Not just the right. CNN and most of the mainstream pundits are desperate to horserace this. Any gaffe or slight pause by Biden and it will be "Biden campaign falters" takes.
Even if Trump snorts a line off of Chris Wallace's bare nipples, media will be gushing by the "bold electoral strategy!".

“The Post stressed that if Biden lost his "composure" Tuesday that that would be bad news for the Democrat. No such constraints were put on Trump though, who often becomes unhinged in public, spouting extravagant and discredited conspiracy theories.”

It's a debate between a normal well meaning guy, and a burning cross made of bounced checks.

NEW Quinnipiac Poll of GEORGIA

President
Biden: 50%
Trump: 47%

Senate
Ossoff: 49%
Perdue: 48%

Senate special
Warnock: 31%
Loeffler: 23%
Collins: 22%

Ugh, Joe Lieberman's son ratfucking the Warnock campaign in the other open senate seat.

[Thereturn]

Ah, the 4 annual turd sandwich vs giant douche race is kicking off. And who are the contestants:

2 senior aged white male multi millionairs that are both:
A. Too rich to have any form of objective economic plan
B. Too old to actually try new and dary shit and progress
C. Too tangled up in ‘who do i owe’ that the only beneficiaries from their 4 year term is probably their family and friends.

Good luck America. May the “cough” best contestant win.

Youd have to wonder why the likes of a Richard Branson or Bill Gates doesnt run. Those guys would win by a fucking landslide.

[postman1782]

Yep. They’re good at getting uneducated voters. Malcolm X saw through their bullshit.

-snip-

That is literally the only demographic Trump won in 2016 besides white males. Everything else went for Democrats. And it is going to be worse in this election, guarantee Trump only gets those 2 demographics again.

- - - Updated - - -

On the debates, I expect them to go pretty much like the ones between Hillary and Trump. Each candidate's fans think theirs did the best.

Looking back at the 2012 debates, it was clear who won each. Romney the first one and Obama the last two. One of the many reasons Romney lost.

Unless one goes unhinged or has a major mental lapse, I do not think the debates this time will make any difference.

No, Trump supporters thought Trump won all of them in 2016 because he couldn't do anything but say "WRONG" the entire time, but Hillary DESTROYED his ass. Biden is going to do the same again in these debates as well.

- - - Updated - - -

I voted for President Trump because Crooked Hillary was unelectable, and the left has proven the past 4 years that all of the left is unelectable.

LOL, fucking hilarious, Trump has killed over 200k people and tanked the fucking economy, he shouldn't be near anything other than a fucking jail cell for the rest of his life.

He's not just as bad. That's a demonstrably false statement that even the most ideologically possessed eventually admit when pressed to look at the policies Trump has pushed over the past four years.

The answer to "I hate the status quo" isn't "welp, fascism it is" unless you only care about yourself.

[postman1782]

Can that be varified by a video or audio recording? If so, I would like to see or hear it. And context is important. He said some things about McCain which was wrong to say. And it sure has not stopped you guys from posting links or videos of things Trump has said. Why should I not do the same thing? The difference is, I use videos of Biden actually saying it. Otherwise, it is just a accusation.

Your precious FOX NEWS confirmed it happened, TWICE.

Is this the golf course that he has people like Pence and the Airforce people staying at? So the US Government picks up the tab?

Perhaps the browbeating Bidenbro shouldn't be casting stones.

Funny, I don't see them going full batshit insane.

Question: How much time is left until the debates? In order to grab a beer, activate an US vpn and watch it "live"?

PS: People, for the love of yoda, please dont respond to the poster with the same name as a resto shaman ability. It's a fire-and-forget shitposter

No, it is not possible for any rational human being, to claim that Biden is just as bad as a Trump... unless you are a a Trump supporter, trying to make Trump look better in comparison...

Is this before or after BernieBros called anyone voting Biden a rape apologists or even right now, a self proclaimed Bernie bro, wishing for fascism instead of Biden? I don’t know...

[Endus]

No, it is not possible for any rational human being, to claim that Biden is just as bad as a Trump... unless you are a a Trump supporter, trying to make Trump look better in comparison...

It's like you're in Albuquerque, and you want to get to New York City.
Biden's offering to drive you to Las Vegas. That's not the direction you want.
Trump, on the other hand, is currently at the wheel, speeding at 150MpH, heading right for the edge of a cliff, laughing maniacally the whole way.

If you're saying you don't care which car you're in, Biden's or Trump's, you're ridiculous and you are not making sense. Vegas isn't NYC, but you can always pick up another ride once you're there and maybe get a little closer. If you drive off that cliff with Trump, you're not going anywhere but down, into a fiery oblivion.

The two options are not equal, and it's a pretty clear demonstration of bad faith to suggest that they are.
