2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[WayNeacTia]

Who in their sound mind wants a White House cabinet staffed by Jenner/Kardashians?

Would be one way of getting a reboot of The West Wing.

Are you saying that Kushner is better?

Pfffft. I'm voting Biden, kthanx.

[Thermodolia]

New Ipsos poll (1114 A; 538 B-) says presidential approval is Disapprove +19
[38% Approve; 57% Disapprove]

The last president to ever reach a -19 net approval rating in their first term was GHWB

Good... everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

How long before you declare you’re the senate?

[New Eryon Vern]

I mean I wasn't supporting Biden in the first place, but I was on the fence. Do I vote Trump? DO I vote Green Party? Do I write in Bernie?
Well the civil unrest and failure of the Democratic "Leadership" proved them to be beyond annoying. They're failures who believe a dementia-ridden senile creepy old man is the way to beat Trump. Even the ones who were supposed to be good, AOC, Ilhan Omar, proved to be nothing but Pelosi shills and weak. Voter shaming, actual collusion with foreign countries, the Bubba Wallace incident, Pointing the finger at Trump for Corona Virus instead of looking at blue state mayors and governors (and the WHO, and CDC. Fauci Lied about masks), supporting an anarchist "autonomous zone", defacing of American statues, wanting to blow up Mt. Rushmore, desecrating cities, burning buildings, looting stores, wasting political capital on nonsense, attacking of cops, and many, many other factors have brought me to the boiling point.
I will NOT be voting Biden, and I WILL be voting for Donald J. Trump and the Republicans this November. Until the Democratic Party can stop being such spineless corporation-lovers who whine about literally anything while caving to Republicans and not getting anything done, I will not be supporting the Democrats. I will not vote for their worthless politicians.

Also please stop voter shaming. A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump, a vote for Green is a vote for Green. Not voting is not voting. A vote for Kanye is a vote for Kanye. Anything that isn't voting for Trump, isn't voting for Trump. IF you really believed that anything would split Biden's vote (especially Justin Amash, you think a libertarian who was a republican would split the democratic vote???), MAYBE, the Democrats shouldnot have ran such a weak candidate in the first place. If Biden really needs progressive support in order to win, maybe they should have, I don't know, ran a progressive.

[Thermodolia]

Deadlines for ballot access are rabidly approaching in many states

Which states have rabies?

Mine

Yeah how dare people vote for who they want in the primary and anyone vote differently from you.

You have any evidence of your absurd claims?

Pfffft. I'm voting Biden, kthanx.

And? I was comparing Kanye to Trump, not to Biden.

Man you've really gone off the conspiracy-theory deep end huh

[No State Here]

Apparently the Biden campaign has started fearmongering and guilt tripping third party voters saying "A vote for a third party is a vote for Trump"

Which makes zero sense

This isn't new or unique to the Biden campaign, it's been a sentiment shared by partisans for decades. It's also something I change sides on a lot.

[Gormwood]

Pfffft. I'm voting Biden, kthanx.

And? I was comparing Kanye to Trump, not to Biden.

Both "choices" are incompetent and nepotistic. One just shows off more skin to tantalize reality show junkies.

[Asle Leopolka]

He's in the "Jill Stein and Gary Johnson cost Hill-Dog the election" camp.

The sad thing is a LOT of people will vote for Kanye "for the lolz."

Kanye West may currently be the one individual with even less competence and motivation than Trump. That easily amused meme addicts are likely to vote for him is an indictment of the pervasive Watch The World Burn mindset.

I'm curious on how you seen this coming, boi

I've been saying that Trump is likely to be a one-term president since his election, with varying degrees of conviction since then.

Ah yes, you have. Now I see what you're talking about.

I wouldn't personally jump to the conclusion he'll be a one-term President just yet: we still have 4 months, and that's an eternity in politics. However, it seems his chances are slipping away, and if numbers like this maintain to election time, then I'll say he's toast.

In the meantime, an opinion piece believes that Tucker Carlson might have just handed Tammy Duckworth the Vice Presidency. While I doubt she'll be the one (I like her to be), Carlson certainly has given her more name recognition, and in a good way too: she smacked him down hard. Doesn't help he's still attacking her, which is actually helping her profile.

That's if hes serious and gets on the ballot. the deadlines for ballot access are rapidly approaching in many states and write in laws vary.

You do understand what split opposition voting is, right?

[Jerzylvania]

The Economist/YouGov Poll - General Election: Biden 49% - Trump 40%

And the beat goes on.

[The Alma Mater]

And? I was comparing Kanye to Trump, not to Biden.

So, Vermin Supreme for prez ? Brush your teeth and love your pony.

Nobody wants to blow up Mt. Rushmore apart from a few livid people in South Dakota, the Dems are simply NOT in favor of looting, not in favor of desecrating cities etc etc.

But you're not gonna believe that, I mean, why would you? The thing I find most preposterous is the asinine claim of the Dems being "corporation lovers." I'm sorry, are we in an alternate timeline where the GOP is hard on predatory corporations and against laissez-faire capitalism? Because, if so, then I must've accidentally stepped into an alternate fucking universe.

I mean, you're not wrong in this specific instance, but considering the amount of times you've attacked people for not wanting to vote Biden, the hypocrisy here has enough mass to cause its own gravitational pull.
