2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[Kannap]

Just trying to figure why we're apparently supposed to coddle Trump supporters given how they reacted after 2016.

I agree, but in reverse

Why should we "unify" with the people who called us racists and censored us, and on three occasions killed one of us?

For Dems, the only solution to avoid unifying the left is to try and unify with the right. I think it's an incredibly stupid decision.

We need to unify as a nation, no if’s, and’s, or but’s. Creating more division will not heal us as a country. Even the president-elect called for people to stop looking at each other as enemies. I don’t even necessarily like Biden, but in this instance he’s right-let’s put down our arms and try to reach out to each other.

Now if he’ll double-down on that himself and try to encourage bipartisanship for real, and not just with nice words, then we might have something going. Our country is ill, and we need to work together to make it better.

If Mitch McConnell gets to be Senate majority leader again the chances of that happening are precisely 0.

[Kannap]

If we do that then law abiding gun owners in blue states will lose their freedom

Yes all states should have no gun laws whatsoever right

That's right, now you're getting it.

Can't wait for the Unite The Left rally where people just smoke weed and chill but a riot still breaks out over obscure differences in tendency.

We are united as Americans, we are united as the USA, but we cant unite Politically, because we have different Political views, because we think differently on most issues.

But there is nothing wrong with thinking differently and having different political views, it is called Democracy.

This respect is given it is not earned.

Who agrees? Who disagrees?

We shall see. Hopefully both do. We also still don’t have the Alaska senate result.

Yes we do. AK is republican hold. Though interestingly the NC race is still undecided as they are waiting on some 170,000 votes and only 96,000 votes separate the two candidates

How awesome would it be if it flipped but I won’t hold my breath for it. If it wasn’t for the stupid nonsense republicans brought up late in the game Cunningham would have won

Abrams has already said she’s going all out to win both

Agreed, maybe he'd have won if he didn't cheat on his wife.

Team Trump held a press conference in Las Vegas Sunday afternoon to update voters and the public on the fraudulent and/or unsecure activity they’ve uncovered since Election Day that may have resulted in hundreds of thousands of illegally-cast votes being counted.

A van load of ballots arriving at one vote center, where they were unsealed, ballots substituted, then re-sealed

And they have no real evidence.
That's why the courts have thrown out their legal challenge.

Stupid nonsense? The guy was a fucking idiot who cheated on his wife during an election campaign. The south is still very religious and holds democrats to a different standard.

He should have known that but decided to not keep it in his pants

Republicans could have also kept it private and been decent people but why do that?

You do realize that it’s nearly impossible to reseal those ballots and it’s highly obvious if you did attempt just that.

Yet courts have consistently rejected his claims.

You are joking, right? In an election? Both sides have been playing hardball for years, come on now.

The fucker should have been decent himself, don’t blame the republicans for his fault. The republicans didn’t force him to cheat.

Also you know damn well that you would be jumping at the chance to expose a republican as a cheater if they did the same. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t

This is actually a refreshingly typical scandal for a politician compared to accusations of pedophilia.

Your country has become ill in part due to rhetoric and hatred from the right, and I do not see cooperation and compromise when that party continues to exist in present form.

Which is arguably why the states should have far more autonomy and the federal government scaled back

Face it, no matter how much Biden drums it up, there is no "healing the divide," so the best thing to do is delegate more power to the states so that more conservative states can govern themselves by their values, and liberal states govern themselves by their values. The Federal government should only step in when civil rights and basic freedoms are being violated, but not other than that

The thing is that a lot of "values" only make sense at the national or even international level.

I'd like to not choke to death, so I support air pollution regulation, but this is only effective if all of my neighbours play ball. I live about a thousand kilometres away from a major manufacturing basin, but there is an international border between here and there so there's absolutely nothing I can do about pollution from that basin turning the skies here gray (said neighbour is also really adamant about their coal heritage). If you take regulatory powers away from the federal government and give it to the states, this is exactly the situation you will be recreating right there in North America.

Chopping government into many smaller bits don't make for more manageable government; it makes for an utterly ineffective one.

Just in case anyone was wondering what the new incoming First Dogs of the White House look like, the incoming First Lady has a picture of herself with them:

So is the Alt Right mad about all this or have they already known for a while that they weren't getting their white ethnostate even if Trump was the president?

The courts have given a resounding "lolno" to the claims of fraud.
