2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Zurkerx]

Trump says "I think she’d be a fine choice. Kamala Harris. A fine choice" as for Biden running mate.

And that's a sign not to pick Harris.

It also shows polling might be more accurate then in 2016. Polling had Trump down in MI and the rest of the Rust Belt in 2016, but he kept campaigning there. Most likely, Trumps internals probably showed a much closer race. Now his internals probably look like the state averages and he might be giving up.

Polling is more accurate due to some pollsters adjusting correctly and there being less undecided voters but, some pollsters, particularly State Polls, haven't still fully adjusted yet though Biden's 8 point average margin would likely mask that.

I have a hard time seeing how he wins Nevada. Clark county leans blue and Washoe is trending that way. Together it’s 85 percent of the population.

I agree: I don't see Trump taking Nevada, not with its growing Hispanic Population and strong union membership there. It was only a 2 point difference the last time but I suspect it'll be somewhere between 4-6 point difference this time, in Biden's favor.

Lets not forgot Trump said he would love to run against Biden saying he'd beat him easily. Polling isn't showing that nor is history on Trump's side.

Sure, I guess, Trump probably assumed Biden would be one of the easiest to best, but at this stage in the game, even John Delaney of all people could be crushing it in the polls.

Harris, really, is still a bad choice in that she alienates many parts of the base, as well as many right-leaning independents who are considering Biden. Overall, a bad pick in terms of adding votes to the ticket.

Delaney was unironically the worst candidate, even when Tim Ryan was still on the stage.

I forgot about Tim Ryan - poor guy, seems friendly enough but just not all that bright.

SCOTUS sides with Florida, 6-3 in felon voting rights case.

SCOTUS sides with Florida, 6-3 in felon voting rights case.

Interesting, Breyer sided with the majority on this issue. Well then, it looks like the only way Democrats can change that is to take the majority back when the State's Legislature is up- or if the Federal Government under a Biden Administration passes legislation overriding States that are harsh on voting. As long as Robert type Conservatives are on the court, I suspect they'll continue to endorse stronger voting restrictions, like IDs and such.

In what can only be described as an act of sheer karma Republican fuckface Louie Gohmert (who I brought up before on this thread) has contracted Covid-19, the lawmaker claims he got it 'from his mask'.

Neoliberal corporate Democrats like to pretend they're leftists, when by the rest of the world's standards they're actually center-right.

Unfortunately they, along with the Republicans, have convinced a lot of the American people that they are the leftists and that you cannot go further left.

America's political spectrum is so stunted and so skewed towards the right.

Getting a little down in the weeds but state Senator Katrina Robinson in Tennessee has been charged with theft, embezzlement involving government programs and wire fraud. Only even number district are up for election this year in the Senate therefore she is not up for reelection. Given her likely resignation there will probably be a special election in November possibly earlier depending on what the law is

The 33rd district is entirely within Memphis and contains the airport therefore Democrats are almost guaranteed of holing this seat.

I honestly couldn't tell who this shirt was supposed to be for.

Kind of feel like that shirt is for all those conservative 'cut ups' who wear other shirts that try and tie Hillary Clinton to 'cooooomuuuunism. The actual venn diagram of 'people who like Hilary Clinton' and 'people who like Che Guevara' doesn't really have as much cross over as hacky conservatives like to think. After all, the complaint wasn't that Hillary was too communist from the people who were upset she beat Bernie.

People who like to claim they're for universal healthcare like to pretend that the Clinton's didn't try to pass universal healthcare too, it's strange.
