2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Valrifell]

Probably voted for Libertarian or Constitution Party given her views.

She’s not a libertarian lmao, she hates civil liberties.

Yeah, so she's a Libertarian

[Kannap]

Bruh Biden lookin pretty good

I'm honestly considering voting for him now

I feel like I missed some news or something, did something happen?

[Kannap]

Ah. Political nihilism.

The best form of nihilism

[No State Here]

Tbf, I wonder why that is not a more common view amongst Republicans. After all, Trump has not actually achieved anything noteworthy* during his presidency - except breaking the records for time at the golf course.

--
* That is assuming that said Republicans refuse to hold the commander-in-chief and leader of the country responsible for responding to pandemics and raceriots ofc.

Maybe because most of us on NS are political junkies,

*Leftist political junkies, on this thread at least. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, but the overwhelming majority of the site, right now, seems to be in a mutual consensus that Trump is bad, Biden is slightly better, progressivism is good, etc. It’s kinda like the "Twitter Bubble" from 2016

While are a lot of leftists on the site it isn’t a majority. There’s a lot more liberals than not.

Also right wing posters can be political junkies and we have had quite a few

She probably thought that Trump would actually have a wall built at the southern border, paid for by Mexico.

I'm no fan of Ann Coulter, but she knows that she was played for a sucker... and she's doing something about it.

Actually her beef started back in 2016 pre wall. She never voted for Trump

https://www.thewrap.com/ann-coulter-tur ... tter-rant/

From what I read in the article, it seems like she voted for him. She even wrote this obnoxious book in support of him.
Coulter disagreed with Trump for basically not being Conservative enough. She announced an open break from the Trump Cult last year.
It's so sad that the Ann Coulter types get constantly played for suckers by conmen like Donald Trump.

Discerning voters should be wary of all politicians, even the ones that claim to support our issues and our world view.

It's not like Trump's con artistry was sudden and unexpected. The GOP got greedy and made a deal with an orange gargoyle statue.

This is the article I was talking about. She has had many issues with Trump starting in 2016

So did Lindsey Graham and other Republicans; now they've done a 180 and back Trump 24/7.

A person like Coulter would never be 100% happy with anyone other than herself running for office. And, in this day & age, her total lack of credibility might actually be an advantage in a Republican primary.

People like Ann Coulter and Donald Trump deserve each other.

I doubt she'd ever run and if she did would likely do so in Florida since that's where she votes. Given how good the Florida Democrats are at losing I could see her winning.

Looks like the Lincoln Project is using some of Karl Rove's strategies. It's Super Effective!

[La Xinga]

For the people that voted "yes" for who and how come?

Holy cow!!!! A new poll has Biden up five in Texas!!!! I think it’s very possible it’s a toss up. If it flips Trump is toast as is the gop as there is zero path to 270 without it

CBS News Poll - Florida: Biden 48% - Trump 42%

He hasn't a prayer without Florida either. And Florida is also cattle country.

It extremely doubtful: Texas I still view will go red, but it'll be closer. Texas is definitely not a Swing State, at least, not right now.

Florida is much more likely to go blue, as is Arizona though a CBS Polls has Biden and Trump tied at 46%. Either way, the polling, even if it is understating Trump's support, is reflective of his poor handling of the virus, race issues, and well, just many things beside the economy.

Texas is doable if people vote. The state doesn’t have very good voter turnout. If more people in the most populous counties voted the state could flip albeit narrowly

[Kenche Gle]

To be honest I find it incredibly unlikely that Joe Biden will have any sort of footing to win the election if he decides to debate against Trump

Dallas and Fort Worth are unusual as they are red cities and not democrat voting. That metro area will not vote democrat in enough numbers to flip from red to blue it’s just not happening.

Also that poll you linked to what was the rating given?

That’s not true. Dallas has shifted hard left in recent years and Fort Worth is 50-50 at this point

[Kenche Gle]

The fact that Biden has time and time again forgotten basic things (like the Declaration of Independence), confused numbers (the times he confused thousand-million-billion-trillion is just endless), he often goes on never-ending ramblings about unusual topics (like when he talked about his hairy legs). These are things that he WILL do in the debates and Trump will call him out on them in a manner that will make me feel sorry for Biden even existing.

tl;dr Biden would fail any debate simply due to the fact that his brain is too old.

Rick Perry once said Austin is a blueberry in tomato soup. Now add Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso. That gets you more blueberries.

Dallas hasn’t done that at all. It’s not hard left at all. It’s barley democrat if anything. You aren’t going to get any more democrat votes out of that metro area. Face it Lumen texas isn’t going blue this year.

Also you have yet to answer my other question about the poll rating. Which makes me wonder how bad the poll might actually be
