Official Election Month Thread: COUP falls short, nothing to see here

Hopefully Biden wins, but it's pretty incredible that the US could go Obama-Obama-Trump-Trump. How is that even possible?

That’s like saying it’s pretty incredible the Super Bowl could go NFC-NFC-AFC-AFC. Elections are about one side winning. That’s just where we are.

What typical bull shit.

If anything I hope that Dems/Libs get out of this election is that even with a shit head like Donald Trump, there are millions of Americans with varied opinions who just don't get in line and vote how you want them to.

1. Millions want the Country to open up and not shut down.

2. The Economy is and will continue to be the major issue facing Americans. 100 million Americans are vested in the Markets, etc. and it matters.

3. Millions are concerned with the Country leaning away from center and toward the left.

4. And like it or not, The Republican Party is far from dead but alive and breathing.

Uh, millions of republicans did just get in line and voted how they were asked to. Not sure your point is the one you think you are making.

If I really alienates a lot of the voters they would need to win. Pictures of guillotines and talking about how landlords should get a job isn't going to jive with the American working-class ethos as much as you would hope it would.

You picked a hell of a day to lecture anyone on what alienates voters and doesn’t “jive with the working class”, but please do go on.

I am referring to a message and tone in general that will win a national election.

Perhaps we should nominate a progressive and have you invest your heart and soul into him and have him get destroyed so I can come here the next day and insult you.

Kind of like now (except that is looks like Biden will actually, you know, win the election)

Yeah fuck us for trying to make the country better with those evil leftist policies such as "we want to give you healthcare" and "we think you should make more money"

Right now, it looks like Biden will win the election. You guys are great at castigating centrists while ignoring worse comparable performance among similar electorates by progressives.

fear mongering because society changes. here's a hint, society always changes and it's not the conservatives that change it.

Not really. At least the Super Bowl winner is always an NFL football team, they are all fundamentally the same. Obama and Biden are fundamentally different, polar opposites.

This country isn't "leaning towards the left" - as the election showed it's actually leaning hard right if anything. Joe Biden is hardly a socialist and the Democratic Party as a whole isn't close to being socialist or radical, as conversations on this board between progressive and centrist Democrats shows over and over. If the Democratic Party were as far left as Republicans claim then Bernie would easily have won the Democratic nomination in 2016 and this year, or at least Elizabeth Warren. And the GOP handling of this pandemic has been a disaster and will almost certainly go down in the history books as such. Had Trump handled this better we would be reopening like many other countries did weeks or months ago. Trump hasn't been stronger on the economy, as his trade wars and growing wealth gap shows. Nobody ever said that the GOP wasn't "alive and breathing" - it is, and has been for awhile, the dominant political party in this country, certainly at the congressional and state levels, and now in the Supreme Court and federal judiciary.
 
I want Pop to name one good thing conservatives have done in the history of America. One significant positive change that was primarily pushed forward by conservatives.
 
One thing I don’t think we’ve mentioned is the GDP gains were big for Trump. It helped fuel that narrative that he’s good on the economy. Republicans are much better at spinning their narrative and sticking with it.
 
Biden's camp thinks they'll get PA

That'd be a wrap for ole Dumpy Lump

So typical. "Our side has done all the great things accomplished in America and you've done nothing"

I won't even dignify that question with a response.
 
Good time to remind everyone that ChrisL is a landlord. Lol.

You completely missed the analogy. My point is that it’s not weird because the President doesn’t represent the tenor of the nation. The President is simply who wins between two sides.
