Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Kaleredar]

No no no, don't you see? The Lakers should have lost to Miami, so that next time they face each other in the championship they'd be STRONGER and more energized and therefore more likely to win!

Yup 10 years ago, his career would be done. Thanks Trump for normalizing this bullshit I guess.

I'm glad in the sense that the Democrats aren't going to suffer for something that the GOP wouldn't suffer for, if that makes sense.

So according to Joe Biden, voters don't deserve to know what they're voting for.

This whole refusal to simply state whether Biden will stack the court is confounding. Biden and his campaign are hurting themselves more by doing this. I do not believe admitting intent to stack the Supreme Court would be a deciding factor in Biden's win or loss of the 2020 General Election. To anyone who sees it, this "you can't make me answer, and you don't deserve to know" response to the question is, in itself, an admission of intent. It is an admission bereft of honesty which will call into question the integrity of promises and pledges made by the Biden campaign.

The average person does not like being kept in the dark regarding decisions that will affect him. More so, I would be hard pressed to find a single person who would respond well to being told he is not "deserving" of that knowledge. This wound will fester.

You answered your own question - by doing what they are doing, the Democrats are signaling to their people/voters what their intentions are regarding expanding the court while providing exactly ZERO sound bites for the GOtrumP nitwits to use. The GOP nitwits do not deserve that knowledge, and the people on the side of angels, as you accurately pointed out, already know.

It is entirely unbereft of honesty - it is a deeply tactical political answer, used very well to walk the thin line necessary to defeat fascism.

So the real problem, from the GOtrumP's perspective, is that they didn't see this coming at all. It's nice to see the good guys blindside the cultish idiots.

Sorry buddy. You're years too late to pretend to care about these things.

Nobody but the most butthurt republican's Trumpers care that he's not answering the question, because the smart people know what's gonna happen, and the butt hurt don't get to use it as an attack.

[kaid]

I mean, the other side has a sexual predator and a person who repeteadly cheated on his wives at the top of their ticket. I think that the "holier than thou" conservatives have little floor to stand ATM.

Yup thats pretty much what they get for lowering the bar so far on such things that nobody can bring themself to care about what two consenting adults are doing which honestly is probably more healthy of a stance anyway.

It is also contingent on so many things he does not and will not control there is no point chiming in now. First we have to take the senate AND the presidency AND nuke the filibuster something which is not a given AND the senators decide to move that way and pass a bill and lands on his desk.

All of this is fucking IRONIC from a Trump supporter.

While all this is true, knowing how butthurt him not answering is making Trumpers makes me happy.

Is this where it's ok to laugh at your repub-tears?

[Machismo]

I will say this again, for all the leftie lurkers:

STOP MAKING PURITY TESTS FOR PEOPLE THAT AGREE ON YOU POLITICALLY 50-60% OF THE TIME, AND MAY HELP YOU FURTHER YOUR LONG TERM GOALS! BY DOING SO, YOU'RE ENABLING FASCISTS!

This is what costed the republican side the spanish civil war, and the lefties in germany their lives, when they were murdered by the nazis.

Are you referring to me? I'm a small-government conservative.

Well the themes of Star Trek is pretty much EVERYTHING that modern day republicans are against.

To take a moments break from politics I would suggest not... if you do only give them a few episodes to see if you like them. I was rather disappointed by both but they got me to watch deep space 9 and Voyager again.

I find it's usually a humanist take that shows the other side of the argument rather fairly. You could point to episodes that argue both point if you ignore modern star trek.

Nah, i know you are a small government conservative. I was reffering to the cosplay socialists that shitpost threads with their purity tests and all of that jazz.

So, Amy McGrath debated Mitch the Bitch tonight, and totally rinsed him as far as I'm concerned.

And a recent poll put her up by 2 in KY. I'm not sure if it's an outlier or even a reputable poll, but thaaaaaaaaat would be interesting as fuck.

Mitch basically spent the whole debate laughing in her face whenever she talked about his blatant corruption. Methinks he's feeling invincible after he's rammed through the Republican agenda for the past 4 years.
