2020 Presidential Election

A. Spectre · 08-30-2020, 07:32 AM

No wonder that thing is going nuts today. 😂

Trump’s approval rating has dropped 5 points in two days according to the latest You Gov polls (RV).

August 26:
44% Approve
54% Disapprove

August 28:
39% Approve
60% Disapprove

OK. One more poll from today.
USC/Dornsife (LV)

Biden 54%
Trump 40%

---------------------------

It does not appear the mandarin menace got a post convention bounce. Who would have thought bloviating about death and destruction was not the best strategy?

6 out of 10 Americans are sick of this shit! and 4 love the taste of it.

Too close. We need a decisive victory or I am afraid Trump and his people (and I use the term loosely) will find a way to steal the election.

Moderators for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates have been announced. I think it sounds pretty good. They each only have one moderator. I am not familiar with Steve Scully from C-SPAN but the others I am. Chris Wallace is from FOX but tends to ask tough questions. I can't wait!

Presidential Debates

September 29, Chris Wallace - Fox
October 15 (townhall-style) - Steve Scully - C-SPAN
October 22 - Kristen Welker - NBC

Vice Presidential Debate

October 7 - Susan Page - USA Today

I'm a Canadian and I guess it doesn't matter...but SHIT, can't the Democrats even rouse anyone who's got nothing to fucking lose.. like me ?????

If you can't win this election, you don't deserve to govern.

Who the Hell is running your election campaign???? I'm a little old lesbo in Canada and I could do a a fucking better job.

Stop wth the gentle , kind, we are there for you bs and BE THERE. Stop with those "Yes, the Reps. are right but here are the details you should understand" bs . People don't read or listen to sentence #2... you're dead before the end of sentence 2.

[B]Someone needs to put Biden on ice until the election is over and then defrost him in time to take office .

Until then, let the Dem dogs loose so they can rip the throat out of that hateful demagogue. This is no time to be "nice"... You'll have another 20-30 years to be "nice"... by then, you'll have figured out that supporting Fascists sucked the life out of you and left nothing except benefit for those who never gave a moment of care for foolish, sucker, stupid, you.

VintageFemme · 09-02-2020, 12:02 PM

Our country's governing and elected officials have always been and most likely will continue to be, corrupt. This administration though, has turned our thinly veiled democracy into a mockery and circus. It's despicable at best. The only hope is that we can find some semblance of what was once known as normalcy and try to get back to the business of living the "American Dream". For giggles sake, has anyone here ever actually found that dream to be a reality? I'm just looking forward to the day when I don't have to see, hear or read a trump name anywhere in my world.

Postnote: The flipside of all this absurdity is the civil unrest and hopeful subsequent change that seems all to near, to clean up this country's shameful stain of hatred and racism. And much to trump's chagrin, that will ultimately be his legacy.

I guess you missed Biden's speech in Pittsburgh the other day where he completely shredded Trump. The campaign is doing just fine in my opinion.

That being the case, why is it that thousands of people, like me, never heard it....and it's not like i'm not trying to hear him.

It's there, but he just can't seem to punch through the fog...so find him someone who can help him do that....That's the job at hand. Someone who can take off the quilted cotton housecoat.

Yes, this.

This tweet went out from Joe Biden five hours ago:
"Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos are the worst possible people to lead our nation's schools through this pandemic."

I'm no politician or political insider, but I could write more exciting tweets than this.
So can Donald Trump - and that's why he gets re-tweeted and reported on the news all the time.

For starters:

Our nation's SCHOOLS need Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to lead them through this pandemic

Donald Trump's pick Betsy DeVos has NO BACKGROUND in Education, but they think they can get our schools through this pandemic? No Way!

We need smart leaders like JOE BIDEN and KAMALA HARRIS who believe in SCIENCE to get us through this pandemic

Okay that last one is like preaching to the choir, but still.

And, no periods at the end of tweets! Keep up with the technology and the times!

Biden gave an entire speech today on trump’s handling of the Coronavirus and the relationship to schools being able to open safely. He gave a very strong speech on Monday about trump being the one fueling violence. They were both great speeches. He has been very crisp and forceful.

No one is perfect and things can always be improved (although I never want Biden to start tweeting like trump).

I find all the negativity about Biden here to be not accurate or useful in getting people motivated to vote. Fortunately I do have other places that I discuss politics as well.

Trump Encourages Voters To Break The Law

The BBC Radio World Service News

Trump has encouraged voters in NC to attempt to cast their ballots twice - once by mail and once in person to "test" the electoral system. He does not like that so many people can vote by postal mail.

Voting twice in a U.S. election is illegal.

* * *
What about a candidate encouraging crowds of voters to vote twice - shouldn't that be illegal too???

It's such a serious election this year, but this does remind me of an old joke about voting back in the day in Chicago's 1900s when it was used in relation to the activities of organized crime figures. On election day, of course this was when there was ONLY in person voting...."vote early and vote often"

C0LLETTE · 09-03-2020, 08:02 AM

In May, ABC News released the results of an investigation that showed 54 criminal cases where Donald Trump was specifically cited in violent attacks or threats of violence. (Forty-one cases were committed by the President’s supporters.)

ABC couldn’t find a single case in which presidents Obama or George W. Bush had been similarly cited.

Cin · 09-03-2020, 08:15 AM

Attorney General thinks it might be okay to vote twice in elections.

For people who claim to stand for law and order, Trump and his white house break the law at will and with impunity.
