Let’s use this thread for general discussions related to the upcoming 2020 Elections in the United States.

This includes presidential, congressional, state, county, and municipal elections, along with the overlap between them and the general debate about social/political/technical/economic influences on them and possible outcomes.

This is a catch all for topics that span multiple factors so may not be appropriate for discussion in other more focused threads (i.e. a situation that involves Trump, Biden, *and* the Supreme Court, where meaningful discussion requires analysis of all three in the context of the elections, and so should happen here rather than their individual threads).

As always, please keep the discussion civil — obvious trolling, OTT abuse directed at other users, and/or personal arguments that derail the thread will not be tolerated.

If you see a suspect post or pattern of behaviour from a poster please report the post/poster for mod review rather than calling out the poster directly. Don’t feed the trolls — ignoring their posts in the thread (and reporting their posts) is usually the fastest way to get rid of them and avoid giving them exactly what they want: your attention and a distraction in the thread.
 
Would this be the better thread to comment on the debates Tues night?

Trump will go with sound bites and bullshit and Biden will do his best Foghorn Leghorn impression. I’d like Biden to get a petulant tantrum bite out of the parasite.

Yes, this would definitely be the thread for live and retrospective discussion of any debates (Trump-Biden, Pence-Harris, etc.) since it substantively overlaps multiple topics, rather than being generally about just Trump or just Biden.
 
Both are shit candidates. Feel sorry for the general public. Their future is at stake by drama artists They being duped into selecting either a perv or a peado. Someone who's quick to sanction other countries or someone who's a war mongerer. Fuck, the Americans are so stupid to buy this shit.

That made me laugh.

What time is the first debate (UK time)? Think it's going to be a car crash for someone, possibly both.
 
2am in the UK.

BBC and Sky will show it live.
Moderator is Chris Wallace of Fox News. He needs to be strict with both as Trump has shown he ignores times for answers and any kind of moderation in debates.



President Parasite already accusing him of favouring Biden.

Yeah, can't see him shutting up, or letting Biden speak without dicking around.
 
So this quote made me laugh in the Biden thread!

To win presidential elections you still need to appeal to the center because there are a lot more people there than there are all the way on the left. Most progressives actually understand this, which is why Biden has overwhelming support within the party, it's just that the holdouts have to make it their thing to be as annoying as possible so they end up being way overrepresented in stuff you see online.

The irony being, of course, the centreline of voters actually support Progressive ideas on healthcare and the environment. This is NOT a NeoLib offering and they patently lose the centre voter when pitting against the idea of M4 and the Green New Deal!

Biden doesn't have standalone support from Progressives for his ideas; it's a borrowed vote, but posters of the above mind don't seem to understand the difference.

Also, the poster negates the 100M that don't vote being a major factor in the pres vote.
 
Very few undecided voters relative to last time round or times previous; little convention bump for either; Trump’s approval rating steady (steady at weak levels); poll splits pretty consistent for several weeks now nationally with some movement within states.

Breaking out my upper-crust analogies, Biden has a three-stroke lead heading into the back nine on Sunday it would seem. But the weather is unpredictable.

Let's be honest, if you've lived through the last four years and you're undecided, you're clearly a moron.

Unless it's one of those "I stand to benefit from this prick, but I don't know if my conscience can take it" situations.

I’m more referring to the “they’re both the same” crowd which is far smaller (and, yes, dumber) than it usually is. And I suspect that crowd is largely made up of folks who would otherwise support Trump but have the semblance of a conscience and detest his behavior, but can’t bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. And then there is that sliver of infantile Progressives who stamp their feet and fold their arms over their chest (ironically, just like Trump) because Biden isn’t Simon-pure enough for them, boo hoo hoo. They aren’t really undecided; they’re just children who pout because they won’t get their way. Give them some grape juice and a Tonka truck and lock them in their bedrooms until 2024.
 
The first debate is here in Cleveland, scene of the 2016 RNC. Thankfully, this time downtown hasn’t been turned into something like a DMZ from Bladerunner. Partly due to Covid and partly due to the fact that it’s a few miles down Euclid Avenue in the Uptown/ University Circle neighborhood. We still had plenty of yahoos driving all around the city at the weekend in their pickup trucks, waving their flags. I passed a group of the clowns on a sidewalk in a west-side suburb on Saturday morning. It was like a cross between an old people’s home day out and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
We also have the pleasure of a bus load of ‘Proud Boys’ hitting town too. Hate these fuckers with a passion. Not only because they’re racist scumbags, but also they are the reason I can’t wear my Fred Perry shirts nowadays.

They stopped selling them today for this reason!
 
Let my first contribution to the new thread be that I think the GOP candidate for the upcoming election is a ****.
Stop that. Posted elsewhere how i saw a sweet old lady in D.C. wearing a t-shirt that said "I'd call Trump a **** but he lacks depth & warmth."
