2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Ngelmish]

Former Ohio Governor John Kasich is expected to speak at Democratic convention on behalf of Biden.

While I do feel this is bound to irk a majority of Democrats, especially Progressives, I do also feel Biden would welcome Kasich's support. I believe the former Governor is still popular within his State though it remains to be seen whether he "endorses" Biden.

Kasich, a Republican, being welcomed with open arms to the Democratic convention is interesting and a bit offputting. Though far more off putting is the rumor that Kissinger is going to endorse Biden, horrendous man.

In the exercise of power in a two-party system, candidates take support "from the other side" where they can get it. There's a reason McCain put Joe Lieberman front in center in 2008 and Romney gave a speaking slot to... I forget the name of the one term house Democrat who flipped Republican after supporting Obama previously. By the same token, it's why Trump's bench of GOP luminaries in 2016 was pretty thin and a lot of has-beens like Guiliani -- people didn't want to get that close to him.

Provided that Biden continues to campaign on Democratic and left of center policies, people like Kasich are just window dressing for Republicans/center right voters who don't want to vote for Biden but have ruled out voting for Trump. It's cosmetic.

how is the orange man bad thread doing?

I cannot even fathom what kind of mentality you have to have to actually believe Trump is even remotely good.

He let Putin place bounties on our soldiers and did nothing about it, he stole medical supplies from states trying to combat COVID-19, he's trying to hide the results of testing from the public, he refused to help states whose governors didn't lick his boots, he siphons taxpayer money into his own pocket through frequent vacations to his own properties and even charges the Secret Service for staying at his hotels when it's their fucking job to protect him, he's spent a year's worth of days on the golf course, he let Erdogan's bodyguards assault American citizens and did nothing about it, he supported lockdown protesters, he called Neo-Nazis "very fine people", he express admiration for brutal dictators like Xi Jinping, he claims to be "tough on China" yet still does business with them including making all his MAGA/KAG merchandise over there, he promised to "Make America Great Again" and has done nothing to fulfill that promise, he continues to advertise products when it is explicitly stated that this is illegal, he gave his children important government jobs (that's call "nepotism", which is illegal and immoral), he put billionaires in charge of departments they don't have any experience in, he hasn't kept a single of his campaign promises including "Lock Her Up" and "Build the Wall", he was told in advance about the damage the virus could cause to America and he ignored it.

Over 100,000 Americans lay dead because of Trump's negligence, stupidity, and selfishness. If you have the nerve to defend that man after all this then the only logical conclusion that can be developed from such a stance is that you hate America and want Trump to destroy it because no other explanation makes sense. He is a criminal. He is a traitor. He belongs behind bars and, if I had my way, he'd be facing a firing squad.

So, yeah, Orange Man is definitely bad. I'm sorry if you're incapable of figuring that out on your own. Have fun reveling in your own ignorance.

What ever your views and facts are, there are persons who strongly disagree with you on the same issues. It is called Democracy and respect for other persons different views. In a negative way, I have been called a neo con, a deplorable, a snowflake, a liar, a cultist, and a Trump cultist for strongly disagreeing with certain leftist on Trump and the Republicans. I have to be fair because not all. I was a called a liar, then I posted a link with a video proving I did not lie, and I was still declared wrong by the leftists and they right, I did not lie. Certain leftists on here have called Black Americans mentally ill persons for supporting the Republicans and President Trump. I guess according to them that makes me mentally ill too. This what all don't seem to understand no matter what your so called facts are, there are persons who have different views than you all on the same issues of Trump and the Republicans.

No, you don't get it. I have always said I don't mind you guys criticizing Trump and my posts, But don't say You are right and I am wrong every time we strongly disagree. Nothing phases me, except this total disrespect for other persons different views, I don't do this to your views and support for the Democrats. But according to you guys I am always the bad guy, and you guys are always the good guys, who throw personal insults at me, I don't throw personal insults at anyone. I don't use foul language like has been done to me.

Because you confuse facts with views.

You can have another view, but you can't have other facts.

For example:
"The Trump administration is amongst the most corrupt administrations in US history".

When you state that based on the number of Trump officials indicted and convicted, this claim is true.

Another example: "I dislike the thieving businessman Trump who stole millions from other real estate investors/depositors."
You can agree or disagree about liking or disliking, but you don't get to say Trump didn't steal from other real estate investors/depositors because that is what he did.

Last one (for now): "I like how manly Trump never settles in court".
You can like or dislike certain behavior, but if you claim Trump never settles in court than you are about as wrong as you could possibly be, as the court record reflects 1,200+ times Trump settled in court.

[Vassenor]

Noone has called you a bad guy. Noone has insulted you.

[Gormwood]

The Chris Wallace interview with Trump was exceptionally bad. I don't think there is any defending Trump's performance. I suppose it can be done, but its not a place I'd want to be. It is like Hitler insisting that the march to Moscow is going fine but the reality on the ground is that the entire front has collapsed and the Wehrmacht is in full retreat and there is insufficient strength to shore up any part of the line.

The Neo-Nazi says Trump is Delusional as Hitler delusional as Hitler. You heard it here folks

I wonder if OANN is giving it the old college try...

The MAGAs are trying to ignore this, pretending it didn't happen. I'm pretty sure that's how the Trump campaign will enter the fall, simply deny, deny, deny.
By October social media will be flooded with MAGAs claiming it was all a big fat hoax (Hillary/Soros/Gates/Obama) to try and make vaccinations by frogs mandatory for people who ever voted GOP.
