2020 US Elections

What time in the UK are results likely to start coming in?

Unless you're pulling an all nighter and willing to stay up until 4 or 5am, it'll be tomorrow morning.

But that’s just not true, so that might be why I didn’t “get” it (not sure why there’s a need for quotation marks there).

Just recently I posted that the hillbillies that hatched a plot to kidnap AOC were ‘fucking lunatics’ and that Trump did himself no favours with his 60 minutes interview. I said there’s no defending him on his bleach comments.

As I say, I’ve barely posted at all in either thread this year (a handful of posts in each, maybe 15 total posts) and probably 30% of them are criticising Trump, 30% criticising Biden. You’ll just carry on seeing what you want to see mate.

I agree, you've been a total nobody on this thread forever :)

Can't entirely agree with that mate. You can be misinformed or, as last time, half the country, including many black and Hispanic voters, decided to vote for a non-politician.

I voted Brexit, don't have a racist bone in my body, yet the narrative was that anybody who did was subsequently a bigot or racist.

I went with my gut and what info I could try to understand, knowing I was voting with no sinister undertones.

People can be wrong, they don't need to be pigeon holed as racists. If anything, it puts backs up.

while you are not racist, and I am happy to take your word for it, a lot of the people who campaigned for brexit used racism as its selling point. Therefore its not a stretch for other people to associate people who voted for brexit with racism. Its not right, but you have to understand where that comes from.

It’s not racist to want stricter immigration control or border checks.

Voting for Brexit is not the same as voting for Trump. If you're voting for Trump, you're 100% undeniably voting for a racist.

We already know this, there's 30 years of well chronicled evidence backing it up, and look, just to make it easy, he's decided the best way to finish off his campaign is by using racist language to whip up islamaphobic fear with some lies.


No matter how much hand-wringing you do, voting for a racist to be president is saying you don't think racism is a bad character trait. It's saying you don't care that he's racist, or that he will implement more racist policies.

And at that point there's not much difference between you and a racist.

It’s not racist to want stricter immigration control or border checks.

And will they be stricter?

Will there be more checks?

How does Brexit solve that?

If you're voting for Trump, you're voting for a racist.

Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids

Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.

Case in point.

Oh look, it's the thread's resident "but both are the same!!!!"-er for today.

If you want to get in a comparison of every despicably racist thing Donald Trump has done in an attempt to pretend Joe Biden is the same for joking about his popularity with black voters, you will lose, and no one will fall for your disingenuous bullshit.
