Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[downnola]

Pot passed in just about every state... minimum wage passed in some... The issue isn’t socialism, but because of politicians like Trump. As I have been saying this whole thread. Liberals or leftist can take the same socialist policy, call it populism, and people will buy it. The issue is that populism, as absurd as it sounds, has been over taken by a billionaire oligarch and his corporate cronies.

Funny how it doesn't matter if the Dems win, lose, or keep it close, the narrative is always how they're out of touch with voters. Dems are always expected to explain why they didn't get x,y,z demographic, but Republicans are never punished or need to explain why they lost those votes.

The whole discussion is absurd because without the electoral college we aren't even having this conversation, and these sorts of takes are impossible to have.

Progressive ballot measures won all over, even places where republican candidates won.

It only shows that branding the dems as far left, no matter what they do, still works.

Dead people seem to have been voting. Likely not enough to make a difference:

Why haven't you been banned for conspiracy theories yet?

They should stop voting Trump, ey?

[Timester]

It's not happening. I'm going to blast you once you see for yourself.

It's simple math, based on the data we have.

Biden is getting 8 in 10 of the remaining votes right now.

Absolutely right. I dont think its a coincidence that everytime democrats try to run on more and more leftist agenda they get destroyed. They won the midterms on a moderate message but the stupid optics of the left are detrimental

Bullshit. Allowing Republicans to control the political narrative and allowing Democrats to retreat into their center-right hidey-holes when the going gets rough is what is causing them to be destroyed in elections. Democrats skitter like roaches under sunlight the moment the political wind shifts. Their flaws stem from their refusal to hold any left-wing position that is not currently convenient and they dive for the safety of "moderates" and "centrists" the second they get scared.

Democrats who actually hold left wing values can get elected. Democrats who hold left wing values long enough to curry votes only to abandon them when things get tough get destroyed.

[Demolitia]

We know socialism is incredibly popular even with republicans. Try taking away their medicare and social security. It's really just about labeling and propaganda coming from the right.

I always find it endearing when people in the US talk about socialism in their politics. You guys really need to catch up.

[Snakeseye0]

Even if it's 300k, Biden wins if gets 60% of it.

Wrong. What makes you think he's going to continue getting 60%? He needs more than 60% anyway.

[Thepersona]

There's less than 300k left. Where are you getting 500k? He's not going to win PA.

The 300-350k number is the number of uncounted ballots. There are around 100-130k counted ballots but not tallied.

I mean if you actually go check the site - https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index

And put in that information here's what it shows -



So someone fraudulently registered them, but there is no evidence that a vote was counted.

This is why you don't take bullshit grifters at their word. Because usually, they're lying.

[Thepersona]

Wrong. What makes you think he's going to continue getting 60%? He needs more than 60% anyway.

Because almost all of the 500k votes left are from Philly or other cities. Mail in votes, from democratic cities. The average of said two is 70/30 Biden.

According to everyone, he needs around 60% of the vote left to win. He's been averaging around 75%. That would only work if there were around 500k votes, as everyone said it would be.

[Blur4stuff]

Whenever Trump voters complain about social justice or PC stuff I think it comes from fear. They're scared to death of being treated the way they know minorities have been treated over the course of America's history.

Screaming "WRONG" without giving evidence makes you look a fool.

[Endus]

I'm going to tell you my opinion, which you won't like.

The reason people vote Trump mainly is because they don't like the (exaggerated) social justice stuff that the status quo / centrists / Democrats keep putting their support behind.

Or, to use less words to say the same thing, they're bigots.

The fact that "maybe don't be an abusive douchenozzle to random people over superficial shit" is somehow a politically divisive issue is . . . fucking ridiculous.

It's not about left / right as much as it's about social and economic policy, most voters dislike the social justice stuff, but love the economic justice stuff.

Citation needed. If you're gonna argue that most Americans as asshole bigots who enjoy victimizing and abusing innocent people, I'm gonna want to see you quantify that with hard data.

I seriously do not understand how some of these people get through life living so ignorantly.

[Yetanothernewbie]

A few thoughts. Vote by mail should seriously be outlawed. We have an Election Day, Allowing people to vote before that day is completely retarded. Split Wisconsin's and Michigan's Electoral Votes between the candidates. When it's as close as it was winner-take-all is completely retarded.

No. /10chars

[Timester]

Wrong. What makes you think he's going to continue getting 60%? He needs more than 60% anyway.

You are correct, it's 65%. He is getting above 70% currently.

It's just math, if the trend keeps, Biden wins.

If he were right, his name would be ArchAngel of Wallstreet... it’s like he isn’t cognizant of his own posting.
