Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!

Trump has now said he won't debate Biden next week
|
It gets worse. This is the official Trump Team response. They are going to do a rally instead and spread a bit more Covid

Cool.
Keep on killing your voters.
Yet again we see a statement released that will appeal to his followers and nobody else.
They aren't even trying to win anymore, they're just salting the earth behind them. | |

And then throw in a bit of thinly veiled racism
The throws his FBI Director under a bus and says Bill Barr is crap
And of course he says he is the perfect specimen

Biden & Harris should just keep allowing him all the rope he wants - he's brilliant at hanging himself! |  |

Reuters reporting Trump has rejected a virtual debate. |
when you're 10+ points behind with 4 weeks to go there's nothing much else to do but sulk. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Pretty much how I see it. Ok, Biden has polled consistently way higher than Clinton did, but it’s far from over. What with Trump now claiming he’s found the miracle cure for Covid as well, that could fool a few swing voters. He’ll pull every trick in the book, legal or not, to hold on to power. |
That doesn't stack u[.
Check the 'close' states that Biden does not need to win such as Florida, Pennsylvania etc and Biden has not only moved them away from a Trump lead but to Biden lead, one that is also increasing.
Trump needs to win ALL the marginal states to finish around 40 seats behind Biden (as it stands). Many of those marginals were previously a few points in favour of Trump. They are now a few points in favour of Biden and continuing to edge further in his favour.
A few weeks back if Trump won all the marginals he would win the race - now, not only does he have to win them all but pick up another 30 plus of states that are solid Biden, or have been increasing their votes towards Biden
It is not going to happen. Had Trump retained the 8 point gap there could be made an argument that he would have a late spurt - but the past month or so has seen him consistently fall further and further behind
Check for a detailed current standing

Thinly veiled racism. Like this you mean,
African Americans “ain’t black” if they even consider voting for President Donald Trump
Cmon Man
You ain't black if you ain’t stocking a grocery shelf
Hairy Legs
Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is
an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things
Build Back Better or Something?

I'm going to have a guess that the answer is:
"You have the Justice Department in your pocket, you've been President for four years, why haven't you prosecuted her yet? It's because there is zero evidence that she has committed any crimes, isn't it?" | |

Having ducked out of the next debate he is about to make an even bigger ars of himself by holding a rally.
One where, like the last time, the halfwits didn't turn out in the numbers he expected. And with the recognition that this virus is real and does kill I would expect the numbers to be even lower - more so given that even his supporters will know he is doomed to defeat. | | | |

the biden campaign needs to avoid engaging with him, avoid making eye contact, sit back, and let him get him on with it. the worse it gets the more loudly he is going to shout out gibberish. | |

Like the fake Russian collusion claims?
What about the Ukranian quid pro quo?
Or the fact they want to break the electoral college as its in the way?
Or add more states so they always have the monopoly?
Or maybe openly admitting they will flood the Supreme Court if they win?
It is all out in the open now and only a matter of time before Hillary is outed. Kevin Clinesmith is just the start.

You of course realise that all of those things are being explored as a response to the way Republicans have been playing the game and rigging the system for years now.
Gerrymandering... voter suppression... The Republicans have opened the door by going against accepted norms and playing by their own set of rules. It's a bit rich to start crying when Democrats do likewise. Did you really think the GOP could keep playing dirty and not experience any pushback eventually?
Moving on to your QAnon list.
There was nothing fake about the Russian collusion claims. That's been incredibly well demonstrated.
Likewise, Ukrainian quid pro quo was comprehensively demonstrated to have happened.
Why shouldn't DC and Puerto Rico have statehood? I'm yet to hear an argument as to why not that doesn't boil down to 'because they're unlikely to vote for the Republicans'.
The Supreme court has had other numbers of judges in the past. There have been six. There have been nine. There's nothing in the constitution to prevent it. Again, this wouldn't even have been a discussion point had it not been for the stinking hypocrisy of McConnell and the GOP senate.
The conspiracy theories about Clinton and her buttery males are a joke at this point. No serious person believes that there is anything in it, and nobody has provided any evidence, despite you lot being so obsessed with her that she lives in your heads 24/7.
Anyway, you're sounding a bit panicked about what's to come. Is Trump really the guy you want to get behind? I mean each to their own but that's a seriously dodgy guy you're sticking up for.
Now, are you going to tell us why you think Pence won last night's debate? [Post edited 8 Oct 2020 14:53]
