Has Kamala Harris shot her friend in the face with a shotgun and then make them apologize?

No?

Then shut up, she's over-qualified.

Most Americans probably couldn't name 90% of the Presidents. So you're doing fine.

Biden's will probably be mostly overturning some of the 700-1000 Trump will put out in the next two months.

Trump’s focus has been on reelection and now will be on overturning the results. I doubt he cares enough about anything to do with running the country to do much more than that.

The fact that it wasn't a complete landslide victory for Biden should inform you that his chances were a bit better than most people assumed, almost 4 years ago, when I placed that bet. It was tight enough for people to get nervous for almost a week.

It was Office 95, not Windows 95, that I commented on. (Though, I don't think the art for Windows 95 was too shabby, either: Kinda basic, but at least it wasn't stark ugliness like previous box arts for the O.S.)

Apologies, but you're taking my comments way too seriously.


The only thing that made it tight was the never-happened-in-the-modern-era overabundance in mail-in voting and the protocols set in place to handle them.
 
Prediction: Joe is being honest when he says he wants compromise and to work together. The Republicans will do no such thing. With or without Trump, we're in for four more years of the same old lies and bull **** from the GOP. And their attempts to blame Joe for it. Hopefully, enough people will not fall for it.

In a lot of ways, it's more like they can't compromise than they just won't. After all, a pretty significant chunk of their base is the evangelical type, and you know what Goldwater said about them-

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

And when another pretty significant chunk are the type of people who can be convinced that Joe Biden is a damned commie, and GOP politicians rely on those types for votes...the hope that you can reach compromise with them is just a pretty forlorn one. This is not to say that there aren't some on the left who can be convinced of completely baseless ********- but, sorry, it really does seem more prevalent on the side that relies more on uncritical faith than evidence for support.

Pretty much. I suspect people dancing in the streets are less likely to vote -- meaning, Georgia's senators will probably be Republicans. It's still a conservative state, and we're talking about a special election.

The best hope for Democrats is that Trump goes to war with the Republican Party. Liberal trolls should be on Twitter in the next few months sending messages like, "Mr. President: Please create the Trump Party."

I don't know. I sense some serious moolah will be going to the Dem candidates. They're riding high and feeling the energy. Watch this space.

I don't think Georgia is all that conservative. Like Texas it is due for a flip. It's oppressive and the Republicans did almost everything possible to suppress the vote. The problem is it is hard to expect the Democrats keeping up the pressure without the Trump demon. And these runoffs will be super expensive races.

Won't happen. The Republicans are a unified force because they have no standards while the Democrats are already starting to form the "Liberal/Progressive" battle lines and will start eating each other alive as soon as the high of this win wears off.

The Republicans can get a man who bangs porn starts and Evangelicals under the same tent easier then the Democrats can get "We want to wheel out the guillotine and behead the rich all the time" and "We want to wheel out the guillotine and behead the rich 99% of the time" under the same tent.

Having no standards is morally horrible, but it means that the Republicans aren't running cause purity test on their own potential allies to anywhere near the degree the Left is.

That's why I think the Dems might start another money drive ASAP to fight for it. So expect to see more Chuck Schumer adds when you watch Youtube?


ETA: just saw this when googling Chuck Schumer.

Just wondering how much money the Democrats have left after the last election. Overall I know they raised over $1 billion dollars, and unlike the Republicans, they don't seem to have been wasting it on things like Trump's lawyers and kickbacks to Trump cronies.

Hopefully they still have lots of cash saved up to use to fight the runoffs.

Fellow Biden voters: What sort of executive actions would you like to see in the first week or so?

For one thing, rescind the decision to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization. And rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement.

Well 10% of 46 is about five.

I’d bet even money that at least 33% of US citizens could not correctly name 5 presidents without any prompting.

And I’d go even money that at least 40% of US citizens could name even 3 vice presidents without prompts.
 
Re: a biden presidency

Trump put the brakes on the neocon war machine. Will Biden's owners re-energize the killing machinery ?


Did you ever ask yourself "Who does own Biden, anyway?"


Never forget that Hillary was the war machine's candidate. (she wasnt supposed to lose)
Maybe Joe has a position in mind for her....??


Totalitarian Dictator To Leave Office After Losing Election: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

A dangerous faction of American extremists has been greatly emboldened by the election of Joe Biden, and they’ll soon begin calling for widespread organized violence and bloodshed as their fascistic ideology rises to power. I am speaking, of course, of mass media pundits.

Trump’s presidency emboldened white supremacists and other crazies. Biden’s presidency will embolden the elitist commentariat whose job is to call you a naive little child if you don’t think it’s good to brandish armageddon weapons and murder foreigners for crude oil.

❖

America’s election integrity ranks dead last among western democracies. Nothing has ever been done to fix this, so there’s no valid basis upon which to simply dismiss concerns about their validity. Yelling “conspiracy theory” is not an argument.

That said, the entire process by which Donald Trump and Joe Biden became the candidates Americans were given to choose from is also corrupt and rigged to its core, so I see no reason to get super fixated on the general election being rigged as well. It’s fake from top to bottom.

❖

There is no legitimate reason why Biden should not be grilled in every single press conference for specific details on how he plans to fulfill his promise to end the war in Yemen. If the US had an honest and responsible news media, that is exactly what would happen.


No Biden is not going to enslave you to communism, you idiots. He’s going to enslave you to end-stage imperialist neoliberalism like everyone else.
