John Wright Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 hour ago, ThreeRaccoonsInATrenchCoat said: It's remarkable the way the corporate news media have managed to gaslight everyone into believing this false image of Biden/Harris being the lovey dovey "liberal" option when they're nothing of the sort. Appearance and propaganda aside, Biden and Harris are the most far right, authoritarian, warmongering, and extreme option. Trump's a mild pacifist liberal hippie in comparison to those two.

Trump isn't a pacifist. Sure he has not pursued an aggressive foreign policy but his claims about voter fraud, involving lawyers should the result not being going his way, and refusing to step down as President are likely to help trigger a civil war. I can't help but think that this benefits Russia and China whilst dragging the USA deeper into the mud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 It can still sink lower. It's very close indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarley Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 1 minute ago, Declan said: It just did. Trump's speech. You mean his lie-fest? He claimed he's won states that haven't completed counting. He's well known for projection - claiming the other side is doing things that he's actually the one doing. And he's claiming fraud and claiming his voters are being disenfranchised. It's what HE is doing. He's been planning this for months. It's why he put a fence around the White House. It's why he moved his party to the White House. He wants easy access to his bunker for when the shit hits the fan, and it will if he doubles down on claiming victory before the final count. And he will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Its difficult to work out which would be worse. A close trump victory or a close trump defeat. Not sure it will make any difference either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 So far the only positive I can see from this shambles is that it looks like more people have voted than last time. In my book that's good news for democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Looks like a shutdown and legal battle looming. Neither side looking strong enough at the moment to claim anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarley Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Looks like an absolute clusterfuck looming. It's pretty much neck-and-neck. The Senate race is very close too although the networks aren't reporting on those races as much. It's crucial for the democrats to win a majority in the Senate regardless of who wins the presidency if the House (safe dem majority) wants to pass any legislation. McConnell has been blocking over 400 bills passed by the House over the past two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I wonder if spending the last 4 (and longer) years polarising and radicalising individuals on both sides of the political spectrum and then having an election where the margins are fractions of a percent is perhaps a bad thing.

HeliX Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Just now, Roxanne said: I feel quite sad today. I didn’t expect to, because being the eternal optimist, I thought the people would finally see through his tactics. Stockholm Syndrome is a bitch though - I should have known better. I think it's worse than that. I think the majority of America sees Trump exactly as he is. Depressingly, about 50% of them like what they see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
