Strong opinion.
This is as good a place as any to pose this question as it does relate to the election.
With the allegations of Russian interference in this election as well as the last and also in the British elections, is it not more than possible that Putin having seen the break up of the old Soviet Union and having taken power in Russia, has a vested interest in breaking up Union in Europe and in America and agitating for a breakdown in trade agreements both sides of the Atlantic.

This really is disconcerting as to how democracy is becoming an illusion.
If America ends up with Trump again then everything is up for grabs and the electorate will have little or no say going forward.

I think Idaho is probably the reddest State in the Country, having said that Boise and the surrounding area is becoming the new 'place to be' from all around the Country. The whole State has less than 2 million people and I can see things changing in the future with a more concentrated urban area

Oklahoma. Every single county voted for Trump last election — I think it was the only state in the union where that was true.

It's unfortunately true. There is no civil political discourse anymore. When I first came to the US, Republicans and Democrats got together and made deals. Clinton and Newt GIngrich balanced the budget (with some hefty help from the Tech boom). Dubya and Ted Kennedy passed No Child Left Behind. The environment in DC now is beyond toxic

The electorate has as much say now as they did before. Trump isn;t there by magic - he was voted in. There is a Republican Senate and a Dem House because people so cast their ballots. Now you can mourn the dearth of even vaguely morally upstanding politicians - but that's a different matter.

It’s going to get better if Trump gets axed. I guarantee plenty of Republican senators and representatives are voting for Biden no matter what they say (or we assume) publicly.
 
Does anyone need a roommate? I have UK citizenship and I fully intend to use it if this piece of shit wins (or err, cheats his way in) again.

America has never been a perfect country, but we cannot survive another 4 years of this lunatic.

Highly unlikely. Mitt Romney possibly - and that's personal. Maybe Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski but not even sure there. There are no even vague attempts to collaborate in the House or Senate and that has nothing to do with Trump. In fact it way pre-dates him, going back I'd say to Bush v Gore (briefly interrupted by a bipartisan moment on 9/11). Pelosi, McCarthy, Schumer and McConnell are barely on speaking terms and that's not going to change just because Biden is in the White House.

The 7 Republican Senators at Risk of Losing Their Seats in 2020

With Democrats pushing to overturn the GOP majority in the upper chamber, several Republicans face tough challenges to keep their seats.

These senate seats are under threat.


Lindsey Graham is shitting himself as his opponent is out donating him so much he’s begging on Faux News for money.

I’ve so enjoyed watching him literally cry in these fox interviews “help me, they’re killing me for money” - all the while he wants to lower welfare and kill the ACA, taking away health insurance for tens of millions.

There’s no hell sadly, but if there was, he’d be heading there.

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.

It’s what, 8pm NY time? That’s 3am my time so never going to be up for it.

Does anyone know where I’d be able to watch “as live” once I wake up? (I’ve access to all Uk channels and the usual tv apps)

Is walking around allowed? If Trump tries what he tried on Clinton what's the Biden response? "Get away you creep, I'm not a woman" Or "Weve given up being touchy-feely. Get away you creep."
