2020 US General Election Thread IX: One Month and Counting

[Kowani]

Why? It could cut into Trumps margins. I think it’s a good strategy. No area should be written off.

Because the pro-Roe v Wade/pro gun confiscation/pro LGBT rights guy isn't gonna make much inroads with rural populations.

He doesn't need to flip the states.
He just needs to depress Trump turnout in critical areas.

Also he's got way more money than Trump, and seems to know how to use it better.

There are other dimensions to people than the "culture war", you know. The lack of good pandemic relief for farmers and tangible economic improvement for rural areas, for one.

There are but the culture war tends to override most other things. Which tbh is a really interesting thing.

The glories of not being stuck in a thousand concurrent lawsuits right lol

That's because most people haven't read Marx >:(

Tbf neither have I, so.

Or get better margins than Clinton perhaps even win a few rural counties. It could be very helpful in state legislatures.

Campaign money shouldn't be going to fighting off lawsuits directed to the President, though, if only because that's not what people signed up their money for. Is the campaign itself being sued?

Several of the ones I'm aware of were initiated to stall early voting efforts, most (or all?) of which failed.

Maybe you should sue the campaign for misusing their money

[Cordel One]

The debates are always tense, but I think we could improve the system with a mecha battle. Let's put 'em both in 80 foot tall heavily armed robot exoskeletons with their running mates and make them fight to the death for the presidency.

Things you should do while running a presidential campaign: Be squeaky clean.
Failing that, don't purposely make enemies among the bureaucratic class.

I actually did laugh out loud.

They're unlikely to support Biden on those issues either. Not everyone's the same in those areas, but almost all of them oppose Biden's views on something important.

That and the current ones are a bit slow and clunky, but with our military budget we could fix that.

I have, and the culture war is still infinitely more important than muh class struggle.

A joke about the campaign misusing money and ways it could be stopped, which would just exacerbate the problem.

To be fair I don't think Trump is capable of being clean.

Which is what the second step was for.
The Trump campaign ignored my sterling advice.

Also, Trump confirmed the SCOTUS pick will come sometime on Saturday. 99.9% sure it'll be Barrett but I'm still holding out hope for Justice Cruz, it'll really complete the Zodiac saga.

The handmaids tale may soon be reality. It’s what a number a Republicans have wanted for years.

The handmaid's tale banned all sorts of Christianity outside of a very specific sect.
They don't want that.

But many other polices of the regime they do.

You seem to be under the impression that Lumen is familiar with the story beyond it's ham-fisted use as a political talking point.

Hmm. No.
Gilead has a command economy (anathema), legalized hierarchy that cannot be ascended(poison), and despite the Reps' burning hatred of abortion, they don't want to make women into slaves.
