Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Felya]

I've never heard the Stooges, Pixies, Beastie Boys, and the Breeders in a political ad.

Biden going hard for the GenX vote. I'm into it. Also like every band I was in, we always did a cover of "Down the Street".

It aired during the nfl game...

Another good sign for Biden. African American voters make up a larger share of early voters than in 2016. More than six times as many African American voters have voted early this year than had at the same point in the last presidential election, according to TargetSmart.

I wonder what kind of total numbers we're going to see at the end of this - will be interesting if it balloons past 2016, given the current pandemic and voter suppression.

In a recent interview with Revolver, former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon admitted that he's the architect of a coordinated roll-out of the Hunter Biden laptop contents, and that there's much, much more to come.

*laptop they claim with no evidence belongs to Hunter Biden.


Fixed that for you.


Also, I'm really not sure how this relates to the 2020 election.

Hunter Biden isn't running for president.

The detail, found in an FBI report partially published Wednesday by the New York Post, is a barely visible signature bleeding through from back side of a December federal court subpoena.

A picture of the subpoena, issued by the FBI to seize the laptop and a hard drive, has personal details redacted, but it looks like the censor missed the barely legible signature.

The signature appears to match that of FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson, who isn’t just some bureau pencil-pusher.

In 2012, Wilson was described by The Star-Ledger, a New Jersey-based newspaper, as “an FBI agent based in New Jersey who has spent nearly five years working full time on child pornography.” (More recent news articles suggest Wilson has also worked child abduction cases.)

A child pornography criminal complaint from 2012 includes Wilson’s signature — seemingly an exact match to what was found on the December subpoena.

After an investigation, even mainstream liberal outfit Business Insider admitted that it appeared Wilson was involved in the laptop investigation.

The fact that you listen to the currently indicted for fraud Bannon, who is lucky he wasn't caught working for Russians in 2016?

Especially for some publication claiming to be the new Drudge Report and fucking Zerohedge? You might as well have posted a fucking Infowars link.

And this link doesn't help you either. Again, Hunter Biden isn't up for election anyway.

So no real evidence and no relation, then.

Oh okay so a partisan rag of a source reporting a blurry signature on a redacted document somehow validates the ownership of a laptop that came from some random shop from some random state suddenly means... what, exactly?


Why is it that the more “evidence” that trump and co try and drum up for this non-story, the less believable it keeps getting?

And of course you’ve yet to describe how this is related to the 2020 election.

Hell, you’ve yet to do anything but post links to hack conspiracy sites. Not a single word in the last two posts of yours were yours.

More on point with Trump's "record" on covid, does anyone think that we'll hit 100k new cases a day by Election day?

[Hinastorm]

This Biden laptop story is so pathetic, christ.

The kicker is how wholly incompetent the timing is on this. Millions have already early voted, and Bannon has some "rollout plan". Rofl.

It's so fucking over. I'm gonna have a HELL of a time on election night. Gonna order some food, watch my favorite political streamer, and just have a ball at the impending landslide.

OR i'll be getting ready to go to war if Trump decides to go all in on stealing it. Won't be boring either way at least.

I actually can't believe there's "political streamers." I don't watch much Twitch, but how do I get that job? I'm a gamer/lawyer/activist, TRUST MY OPINIONS ON ALL THINGS.

I mean it was rolled out months ago and no one paid attention then because it was bunk.

When are these conspiracy peddlers going to banned? Also, why bother keeping these posts up when mods know and acknowledge they are lies? You guys snip far less offensive dive and destructive content all the time?

Asking for a friend because they think it's weird you let this shit fly, especially during a sensitive time before an election.

For context, the Western Journal is founded by the guy who also setup Citizens United.

In short, it’s not a newspaper. It’s just another propaganda machine. Huge surprise.

If you're at all interested/curious check out Hasanabi on Twitch. Ya, his channel is a leftist echo chamber, but I chose that specifically because it lines up with how I think.

They always have to weigh the "mods censoring conservatives" outcry versus just not doing anything.

When in reality it's just mods censoring ridiculous, dumb conspiracy shit.

It's not the mods' fault that ridiculous dumb conspiracy shit and conservatism just happens to be one and the same so often.

Please don't tell me you're falling for this. This is essentially a rerun of "But Her Emails" except it's essentially a clip show that somehow relates to Biden. Anyone that falls for this obvious desperate attempt believe that clip shows of a t.v. show is a "new episode."

The likelihood of Trump stumbling into yet another batch of supposed emails weeks before the election against yet another political opponent is so minuscule that for once the chances of me having sex are actually higher.

I think like with any channel, it's about taking information away that has relative basis in fact. There's some things that Hasan says, which I don't agree with. And that's okay. He does have a lot of smart things he says. The overriding message for me is that there is no element of our lives that isn't susceptible to echo chambers. Politics is just more evidently affected by it, but then so is health or music or entertainment and so on.

But I digress. Hasan is cool. A little head in the clouds, which is expected from anyone that's associated with TYT. Same issue with them. Lots of smart things, but they have this idealistic world view that is disconnected from reality. 'WE NEED PROGRESS FROM EVERYONE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND IF WE DON'T GET IT THEY'RE CORRUPT!' Surely they know that corruption is systemic and yet relative. The entitlement is annoying.

I like folk like David Doel, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Crooked Media and for the full on socialism, Vaush.

Exactly. The mods playing both sides to seem fair. So tired of seeing miss constantly interacting with bad faith posters actively discussing conspiracies, and bad faith arguments. It happens all the time. They know who the fucking problem children are and are too scared to remove them.

[Ihavewaffles]

Lol as if even emails are needed..his son became head of ukraine's largest gas company when joe was vice president n involved with overthrow of democratically elected president, government & parliament in ukraine through Obama sponsored Maidan coup. You need to be a special kind of person not to think they aren't involved.

That would be like Jeb Bush becoming head of Iraq's largest oil company during president George Bush's desert storm 2 iraq war n then deny there's any connection n conflict of interest.

LOL

In fairness, basically every right wing poster left on here is a complete jerkoff, there are no reasonable ones. If they removed them all, this place would be a total echo chamber. I used to lurk on here to read actual debate on whatever the news of the week was, but with mega threads and the complete lack of character from the right, this place has been a shit show for awhile now.

*edit* Just look at the comment above this, holy shit.

God damn do I hate religion.

A FB friend of mine last night shared some literature that was distributed by Relevant radio and I decided to give it a read. It just made me angry.

I can see how it sucks people in who are already a part of those brainwashed cults. It talks about choice and how you have to decide based on morals and what's important to you. That you need to choose what feels right BUT INNOCENTS AKA ABORTIONS ARE THE WORST THING EVER AND MOST IMPORTANT THING.

It doesn't outright tell you to go vote for Donald Trump but pretty much implies it because you need to protect the babies.

The fact remains that abortions DROP when people receive proper sex education and access to contraceptives such as condoms.

To top that off, even if the Republicans successfully overturn Roe v Wade, it isn't going to criminalize abortions, it's going to make them a state-level problem. Basically, red-states are going to criminalize it and blue states are going to pass laws allowing it doing pretty much nothing except making it harder for people who actually require abortions to get them.

It's annoying, I hate the church because it is straight up a tool for evil that thinks it knows what is more important and tries to subtle push it's political agenda. Kind of reminds me of a certain snake who convinced a couple people to eat an apple.

Edit, I was thinking about it as I took a shower. I remember there being one point about when they talked about the 10 commandments and under "thou shalt not kill" they have decided that an asterisk belongs there because you can kill if it is to protect your own life such as if a robber breaks into your house. But why doesn't that apply if the infant is putting the mother's life at risk?
