2020 US Elections

Trump.

Surely the majority of his supporters (and party) must see him as the buffoon after that last appearance and the TV networks cutting him
He won't win another candidacy

 

[bobmcfc]

Dangerous maybe in isolated cases but nothing coordinated- let’s face it they couldn’t count to ten between them.

Dangerous to themselves.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

The great thing about this is that you know Trump will see it and be seething. He's lost a twitter feud with a 17 year old.

Indeed, a perfectly formed riposte.
He might try declaring war on Sweden, I suppose.

Put the champagne on ice, someone is going to call this election very soon I think.

It’s 10:05am but it is Friday and somewhere in the world it has to be 5pm

 

[BlueHammer85]

can everyone stop celebrating and remember the hurt you are causing Bigga in all this.

 

[Corky]

You guys posting celebratory vids don't realise that nothing will change for the people. It will be a lame duck presidency in most aspects and may even be austerity as Dore said, starting with the cutting of social security to attend to the deficit, which Biden has always leaned towards.

I have said before it will give him reason to not offer anything on his campaign promises. We shall see on that, but here's Andrew Yang addressing what he thinks on the results for 5 mins.

If nothing will changes and the election doesn't matter, then what is your interest in this freak show?

Margin of results is often meaningless but it doesn’t stop the media spinning - Thatcher got a 43 seat majority in 1979 - the UK press depicted that as a landslide. In 2005 Blair got a 66 seat majority. The Mail, Express and Telegraph depicted that as virtually a hung parliament saying a few by-elections and a couple of defections and the Government wouldn’t have a working majority! If Biden wins with 270 he’s President and Trump (and his cult) will spend the rest of their sad lives in denial.

Dangerous to themselves.

Let’s hope so.

Which was the last US Presidential election that changed things for the people? Johnson in 1964?

I‘d say the Affordable Care Act-had an impact for many people.

 

[Bigga]

I'm not American, so at the risk of sounding selfish, as long as I don't have to spend every day for the next 4 years hearing about the orange moron, I'll be relatively satisfied.

Well, it's a 'reason'...

 

[Bigga]

There are hundreds of good things Biden can and will do to help the American public and undo the damage Trump has done without controlling the senate, Bigga is just being Bigga, the same boring old Biden hating faux lefty he's been for years.

Things like what? Holds hands and sing Kumbaya?

Govern by executive order? Cos that's what he has if he doesn't have senate control; the sweet sum of FA.

 

[Bigga]

Only you realise anything

Meaning what?

Is this cos you're happy to see this election as a sidestep not progress?

 

[Cityfan]

Stop the Count

oops spell checker on.

All I'm saying is this crack in US politics will become a crevice heading towards a chasm as Biden gets nothing done in 4 years.

I think there's high chance of more civil unrest.

Id say the Affordable Care Act-had an impact for many people.

Yes but it takes more than a POTUS to get that kind of change. You need various branches to come together. The bottom line with the current ultra partisan mob is that the Dems will get very little done as they dont hold the senate. But at least you will have a decent man as head of state and he sets the tone. If you replace Biden for Sanders he would be in the same position - he would end up with the same outcomes.

What Bigga and his like really want is progressives to hold sway across the whole piece but its not very realistic. But they wont ever admit that - its the same with Corbyn supporters here who still want him to be the next labour PM when in reality he may not even be a labour MP by this time next year and has zero chance of ever being the PM.

 

[Bigga]

Which has been my argument through this entire election cycle.

The incrementalism bullshit will come to the fore with more and more new voter.

Yep, very easy to snipe from the sidelines and keep shouting 'nothing will change, nothing will change'

already Biden will put America back in the Paris Climate agreement, he will definitely do more to help unite the US and the world than Trump, so already it is progress.
