2020 Presidential Election

[angrysoba]

It's politics. There is absolutely zero difference between a supporter and just being someone who just always runs apologetic interference for you at every opportunity.

Even if, IF, there's any truth to the "LOL I'm totally for realizies not a Trump supporter" routine

There's a You Tuber who was on Rogan's show a lot called Tim Pool, who did this. He constantly referred to himself as a liberal, and yet every video on his channel, and literally every last thing he said on Rogan was supporting Donald Trump and complaining, first of all that the Democrats were going too left wing (with AOC and Bernie) and alienating moderate mainstream establishment Democrats (like him, apparently), then when Biden won, he had to claim that the left were pulling him towards crazy progressivism. Then as establishment Republicans started joining the Democrats, and did speeches at the Conference, he started claiming that Donald Trump was proving what he had always said he would do of "draining the swamp". Finally, he fessed up that he would be voting for Donald Trump like no one ever saw that coming.

all it does it change you into the equivalent of someone who buys a ticket to a movie in order to complain about it on Youtube, or as Marvel and Star Wars and Star Trek call them "some of our best customers."

I buy the tickets for Star Wars, it is true, but I almost never watch Marvel films, because they are **** like Donald Trump.

I think that's uncalled for tbhtbk.

FTFY.

Also, I agree. I don't think Tulsi is a moron. I definitely heard a lot of criticism of her that seemed to have been second-hand opinions. When I looked into them, they seemed to be massively embellished from what little we knew about them. Someone on this very forum was trying to argue that she had some plan to kill as many Muslims around the world as possible using drones.

Biden and the Democrats want to get rid of the Private Healthcare Plans for 180 MILLION Americans that are happy. They’ll be put on socialized medicine!

Well, that's another blatant lie. What next? Biden and the Democrats want to get rid of churches and replace them with porn shops?

I've heard that from breakaways from more radical progressives who favored Tulsi Gabbard over Bernie Sanders.

I have to say though her statement about being a "hawk against terrorism" and a peacemaker otherwise was a bit eyebrow raising to me, especially with respect to Syria and Ukraine.

Like Woodward said, Trump doesn't know what is real and what is unreal. I don't think he was exaggerating. I think Trump really does believe his own lies.

Ya think?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

It's weird. As oddly and childishly obsessed with certain critics as he gets, he has huge blind spots as to other.

That's not weird, he knows they are all staunch Republicans, the ads are aimed at Trump, so denial is his likely response. Why refute something you fantasize isn't real.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

"Trump campaign strategy now clear: he’s running against the election itself."

No surprise. He did the same in 2016 when he thought he would lose to Clinton. It's his fallback.

Of course he's in a more damaging position now. We shouldn't forget that threat.

A vote for Republicans is a vote for safe communities, great jobs, and a limitless future for ALL Americans. Instead of letting Washington change us, despite all that we have been through, we are changing Washington! http://vote.donaldjtrump.com

At no time before has there been a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, & two agendas for the future. On November 3rd, Wisconsin will decide whether we will quickly return to record prosperity—or whether we allow Joe Biden to impose a $4 trillion...

...dollar tax hike, ban American Energy, confiscate your guns, shutdown the economy, destroy the suburbs, erase your borders, and indoctrinate your children with poisonous anti-American lies.

If Biden Wins, CHINA WINS. If Biden Wins, the mob WINS. If Biden Wins, the rioters, anarchists, arsonists, and flag-burners WIN. I am running for re-election to bring jobs and factories back to Wisconsin, to put violent criminals behind bars, and to ensure the future belongs...

...to America – NOT CHINA. Because if we win, AMERICA WINS. We built the greatest economy in the history of the world, and now we are doing it again!

Didn't he Tweet this exact same thing before? I guess I'll respond like I did last time.

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

For me, as a Belgian, the video embedded in this tweet is truly amazing!

"It’s the first day of early voting in Virginia, and I think Virginians are excited to vote. There’s a two hour line in Fairfax County already."

I don't know where in the forum there is discussion of Biden's Town Hall last night, so I'll throw a comment here.

After Trump's town hall the other night, the response was to fact check, with a litany of lies and distortions, and the response from Fox News is that it was an ambush in order to excuse why he looked so bad.

After Biden's town hall, I haven't heard any accusations of rampant lying (although I'm sure there are analyses on PolitiFact or something where they have found examples of something), and the response from Bill Reilly and others on the right wing is that he did so well that he must have been given the questions before hand. Because we know that he is so demented, that memorizing answers for 25 questions is a better explanation for his performance than the fact that he might have prepared himself and was able to answer clearly without crapping his pants.

I saw an assertion that "obviously" a teleprompter was involved. Which is certainly an odd use of the word "obviously."

Thanks heavens for early voting. Makes voting surpression just a tad bit harder.

Also, the size of that crowd in a blue state, this early before the election, is encouraging.

Voting starts in Virginia TODAY, and we are going to WIN. You have a crazy Governor who wants to take away your guns, which he will do without me in office. He is in favor of executing babies after birth - this isn’t late-term abortion, this is a step way beyond! Vote for me...

...I’m playing for your guns, and I’m playing for your values. For all the Federal Employees in Virginia, remember, it was me that got you the Federal Pay Raises, not Sleepy Joe Biden. I’ll be having a Big Rally in Virginia, to be announced soon!

 

[Andy_Ross]

I didn't even realise Executing Babies After Birth was a campaign platform.

Trouble is that close to 50% of the US electorate are willing to believe that it's true - and denying it only makes it worse.

 

[Armitage72]

Everyone is somebody's baby. If you execute a 50 year old man, you're executing a baby (50 years) after birth.

There has got to be a point at which even his most hard-core followers have to say, "wait, what? That doesn't even make any sense."

(And the "playing for your guns and playing for your values" seems an odd way to put it. "Playing"?)

Look, if those babies will grow up to be rapists and murders, we might just as well save some time and money - quick Death Panel Trial and be done with it.
