2020 US Elections

[Blue Maverick]

Thought he was meant to be in PA stoping the corrupt counting of votes against Trump?

He is, you can see him now mad as fuck knowing his gravy train is losing and he’s royally fucked.

Borat is releasing the "bonus footage"

That poor, poor sheep.

Senator is just by the popular vote in the state they're running in. It's one of few fairly straightforward elections we have

Thanks. Is it just 2 Dems and 2 Reps to choose from? Or do the party decide who is 1st and 2nd?

I wonder if Putin will release the golden shower tapes now it seems very likely that Trump won’t be of any more use to him.

Only just seeing the Giuliani interview - fucking hell. This kind of rhetoric is so dangerous. They'll be a civil war at this rate.

I am still waiting for evidence of the mass voter fraud allegations.

Eric Bolling on the BBC saying the idea of counting paper votes after midnight on polling day is wrong - ripe for fraud - its funny but when its pointed out to him the system was fine 4 years ago he just walks right on by that comment

There's a twist right? No way it can be that basic!

Fucking hell this is batshit crazy, they're going to cause riots. Declaring results with over 1million votes left to count. Giuliani is a danger.

Don’t hold your breath. It’ll come out with his tax returns and health care plan.

Dems 5/6 joint favourites to take... GEORGIA! Wtf is going on

im not trying to defend him, im trying to work out why he gets the support he does? i get that alot of Americans are not that educated and many may be gullible. but surely it cant be that many. Anyway have a good evening.

This is a way oversimplification and just my opinion, but I think it boils down to 2 things.

1) The two-party system inevitably creates an "us" vs "them" mentality. It's just human nature. There's no room for compromising an alliances. Your side either wins or loses. And nobody wants to lose. So even if you're not thrilled about your candidate, you're more likely to vote for them because there is no other option

2) Conservatives in the US in general tend to be single issue voters more so then Liberals. So, they pick one thing that they care about and then vote for whoever best fits that policy. Unfortunately in many conservative pockets that tends to be an anti-abortion, or anti-immigration, or pro-gun, or pro-blue collar jobs vote. Which the Republicans frame their whole campaign around. And it works

It's obviously much more complicated then I can ever hope to fully understand or explain but in my opinion those are the 2 biggest reasons he gets that support.

Another one that should be locked up

You blind or something? Farridge says its now plain to see. Although he couldn't see it yet......

And the truly batshit crazy part about it is that most of us expected this behaviour.

It was that obvious, to so many, that they were never going to go quietly, with grace and dignity, even before Trump — as is his want — opened his mouth and removed all doubt of this scenario.

It was honestly obvious from before his inauguration.
