2020 US General Election Thread IX: One Month and Counting

[Borderlands of Rojava]

How stupid are the people who think a dementia addled old man like Biden can beat Trump lol, he's ruthless and Biden will be literally bullied.

I mean Trump has 200,000 dead people on his hands, so Biden may be able to do it tbh.

[Ifreann]

Now do Congressional term limits.

Two terms with six month terms. Constant elections! Election years will never end!

How would America manage to have two years of campaigning for elections that happen every six months? I don't know, but I'd be fascinated to watch.

Democracy perfected!

What you're experiencing now ... this is democracy. Everyone exercising their political speech to the utmost, with the intention of influencing others.

I'm enjoying it. And if it happened every six months, I expect it would calm down. Democracy all the time, what could be more democratic?

You say "ruthless". I say "desperate".

"I really, really truly want to be Pwesident. Pwease gim it to me!"



OK, Donald, you had your turn. Someone else's turn now. Be nice now!"

The USPS has announced it will undo all changes made by Trump hack Louis DeJoy and will make delivering election mail its number one priority.

They haven't "announced" yet so to speak, but it seems if this memo is true, it will certainly help with the Election- that's if DeJoy doesn't interfere more so.

~SNIP~

Wow, I didn't realize that many GOP Senators said that in 2016. Hypocrites at their finest.

[Borderlands of Rojava]

My mom worries that Trump is gonna steal a page from the playbook of the last governor of Kentucky, and he'll pardon everyone in Federal custody if he loses the election, releasing shitloads of terrorists, gang bangers, rapists and serial killers out onto the streets.

[Thermodolia]

Actually it might not. The constitution doesn’t explicitly say that judges have to serve for life and besides it wouldn’t apply to any justice currently on the bench.

It’s been pretty much agreed it’s a lifetime deal. It makes sense as you really don’t owe anybody anything after you are appointed.

Pretty much agreed doesn’t mean it’s unconstitutional to do the opposite. I’m sure it will go to court. But the text of the constitution says nothing about the length of the term. So you could definitely argue that life terms are unconstitutional because the constitution doesn’t say anything about it and therefore congress has the right to alter the terms

[Thermodolia]

Non-American here:

I was originally pro Trump because I thought “Here’s someone who could shake up the system and political class of career politicians, here’s someone who goes against PC. If someone like a Trump can win, that’s an inspiration for every day Joes to achieve great things with their lives, excel, and do amazing things.”

Fast forward to 2020:

He’s excessively anti-Chinese; he tries to undermine HK’s economy with sanctions that will hurt the HK people to “support the HK people.” This whole Blame China for the virus situation in the USA Is absolutely pathetic.

Also, he has the commissions look into investigating/possibly banning League of Legends (threatening the majority of the NA Server), affecting millions of players.

Every day I turn on the TV or watch the news I have to see this guy (or Pompeo) make some anti-Chinese posturing.

...

So with all of this said.

Biden.

It’s time for Biden to win.

He may continue the anti-Chinese policies but I think he’ll at least be more classy about it and also have the sense not to go after video games.

I’ve already convinced my brother and his group of friends from Silicon Valley to go Biden.

Don’t tell me you actually like the Chinese Communists

They are no different from the National Socialist Worker’s Party of Germany at this point, with the sterilization of the Uyghur people and the concentration camps, not to mention during the cultural revolution, their people "killed people for fun," according to my grandfather who was a survivor and fled to the US.

Nothing makes me angrier than people (usually leftists, but anti-American right wingers as well) say they support China just because "it’s a better alternative to America"

IM willingly lives in HK and gladly supports the CCP. He’s also from a very rich family so he’s isolated from the horrors of CCP rule

There's nothing that precisely stipulates that Justices serve for life, so presumably an act of Congress would be enough to alter that clause (per Article III saying Congress sets up the judiciary).

Though that'll probably get challenged and SCOTUS justices will have to rule on whether or not they get to have a job in a couple years, which seems like a conflict of interest.

Well since the bill doesn’t apply to the current justices I’d say it’s not really a conflict of interest as they will still be in for life.

I live in Australia, and if I had the choice of Xi ruling my country for the next four years, or Trump ruling my country for the next four years, I would have to toss a coin.

Discounting "China first" or "America first" because neither leader would control either country, as my PM, I'd go with the cunning and ruthlessness of Xi, over the incompetence and foolishness of Trump.

It says nothing good about me, but in the choice between two odious ideologues, I would choose the winner.

Right, ex post facto, I forget.

Did Trump have 217 indictments against his staff during the investigation?
Yes!

EDIT

In fact, Republican Presidents have had more indictments against their staff than Democratic presidents post-WW2.

317 in total, with Trump having the most than any other President.

That alone is cause for concern.
Along with Trump not wanting to have a peaceful transfer of power after the Election id he loses.

I see you did not answer my questions like I answered my own. So why should I answer your questions.

I posted the article on Trump not wanting to have a peaceful transfer of power after the election if he looses. Pointing out the article s leftist bias, as it talked about vote fraud. Pointing out what President Trump is concerned about is voter fraud of any kind by the fair, unbiased, unpartisan, political saint Democrats, I am being sarcastic, lol.

You did not answer my questions on.

As a Republican who agrees with President Trump and the Republicans on most issues, I hope President Trump wins as he deserves to win, according to our Republican Political views on most issues.

[The Black Forrest]

Standard are different for Republicans.

The Democrats want to pack the court or whatever anyone calls it, they want to add more Democrats to the court, even RBG was against doing this.

"Standard are different for Republicans." What about the Different standards of those Democrats?

Saying they want to and actually doing it are two different things. I suspect there are more then a few of their supporters who will say this is a bad idea.

Even then; this does not excuse the out right hypocrisy...out right lies...the republicans have told over seating a judge during an election year.

Trump said it himself, so I guess you don't believe what Trump said

Apparently there was voter fraud in the 2016 election too, until Trump won the Electoral College.

[Northern Davincia]

That's Biden's whole deal, doing most of the same fucked up shit as Trump but being more classy about it.

Well? As somebody here said. He is not the President we want; he is the one we need.
