2020 Presidential Election Thread

Read something interesting back when Macron was elected in France, that their turnout for that election was roughly in the 70% range, and that was considered historically low for them. And when compared to our history it would be one of if not the highest turnout level

 

think it through

 

good news fellas. ride’s almost over

 

One thing I’d like to understand regarding Trump improving with his non white share, does this actually mean he’s gaining votes or is turnout so much higher meaning that even though he’s gaining in % he’s still losing a larger number of total votes in this voter block.

 

This is your brain on conservative media.

 

Damn School House Rock hits

 

If I requested a mail in ballot, but threw it away (on accident), do I have to do anything extra to vote early in-person?

I know some said you had to write void on your mail ballot, but I'm pretty sure I threw it away on accident.

 

Just go in person to vote. Once you vote your mail in ballot will be auto cancelled.

 

for that amount followers his tweets have a pretty striking lack of engagement. just screaming into the void

 

Robertson should just simply it for everyone and proclaim ‘Trump is the anti-Christ.’

 

Just did my part to make America great again...


By voting that racist POS out of the White House

 

This is a hard thing to watch

 

The best answer is contact your local election office. It can vary.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at 160M (would be the highest percent turnout since 1908).

 

I just keep having to remind my self that this racist cock sucker won 2016 by about 70k votes across 3 states. Which is the political equivalent of throwing a Hail Mary from your 1 yard line with expiring and completing the fucking pass for a game winner.

 

Speaking of TH -- Today's episode of Behind the Bastards is on Jordan Peterson

edit - oops wrong thread but whatevs

 

We are going to have a runoff since 5 dem candidates refuse to back out for Warnock and ballots have already been printed.

 

Fucking ridiculous

 

This is atrocious. The DNC needs to black list the shit out of these assholes.

Senate Dems are such pussies. McConnell would publicly hang someone in the same scenario.

 

I knew SC was doing witness signatures too but wtf NC too?

 

The number 2 guy on the Dem ticket is Matt Lieberman whose claim to fame is his father who went from Dem lawmaker to MAGA. I wonder what the plan was there.

 

People continue to underestimate how deeply unpopular Hillary was...30 years of Fox News on the attack.

The worst possible candidate for the moment

 

I get that but it’s the “I thought a business man could do well” when he’s a failed business man. Or the “I was fine with him until covid” when that negates the children in cages, racism, etc

 

not everyone pays attention the way they should it really brought his dishonesty to the forefront in a glaring way

 

I just came to the conclusion that the funniest ending to all of this is Trump dying of the regular flu. So that’s what I’m rooting for now, as I like a good laugh.

 

+2 Biden / Hegar votes in Texas today. Line was 30-40 minutes.

 

You’re 100% correct and it’s obvious to people who follow politics like we do.

Im probably about to get dog piled, but for many people “it’s the economy stupid,” rings true and the fact is that pre-Covid I would venture to say a majority of Americans were financially better off than they were in 2016. Low unemployment, stocks, yada yada yada. They’re also not tuned in to the news cycle so failed businessman can be brushed off as an opposition attack vs. really digging in.

I wish it were more complex, but I really believe it’s as simple as that.

 

You’re probably right. It’s hard to think outside of my daily intake.

 

Voted in person and surrendered my mail in ballot. Took 10 minutes total

 

Biden up 13. Hillary won it by 20. If he wins Florida, it will likely be because he improved in a big way in south Florida.

 

Thanks man!

I understand there is a broader matrix and preferences can be complex - speaking as an Alabaman who has observed a fairly large social / familial network (N=maybe 75-100) and has seen the see-saw from 2008 to present day. I do think alot of positions (Roe v. Wade) fall by the wayside in the face of economic considerations for the middle 20%. There is also a reason for that phrase, it’s not a coincidence that incumbents who inherit good economies typically get re-elected

Am I overstating by reducing it to just that? Yes. But directionally I think that’s pretty close

 

I mean it’s happening in the exact same race. Loeffler and Collins are cutting each other’s legs out while Warnock gains steam.

 

They may as well say "we're cool with all the racism and shit, but it affects my life then it's problem." Fuck those people, I honestly hope the worst shit happens to them and the people they love.

This country is so fucking racist it's infuriating.

 

I don't think he's saying that the % is large or majority % but there is definitely a segment who pays zero attention to politics and is just "I still have my job and haven't been affected by much" (which is obviously a terrible way to go about it but it exists).

My mom is pretty much this category (she did not vote for trump though because she just asks me what to do).

 

This isn't fucking true

This is more of the same "My life is great so everyone elses must be" bullshit

 

This is much stranger than his political turn or really anything else he did or said tbh

 

Voted for Biden today, but only bc i expect him to cancel Christmas & hurt God.

 

It was this but political:

 

4.8 mill total in 2016, so almost half way after 4 days of early voting + mail ins.

 

Shalala is safe, Mucarsel-Powell is the Rep in trouble.
