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!

Mouthing off on Twitter is one thing. It's old man yells at cloud. What it will come down to is this.
How many GOP figures actually, secretly, want to see the back of this clown?
How many will be willing to stick their necks out to support such naked corruption?
How many want rid, put all these behind them and spend the next four years doing what they do best - whipping up outrage and taking no responsibility?
How many are all in on this, ride or die?
I guess we will find out. | |

From the US Govt officials I work with, there will be a huge sigh when he is gone.
I still stick to my view that Trump was a trojan horse to power for the GOP and no-one has had the balls to carry through with the end game. | | | |

Someone should dig out some of the TWTD threads from 2016 election year.
I recall very confidently stating he'd never win the Republican nomination when he first started campaigning with his "They send us the rapists" nonsense...
Reckon a few others might have egg on their face too. |  |

Would be great to be able to go into the Chatroom here on the night - anyone asked Gav yet? (apols if already posted). |
We did that last time. The chat room is available 24/7 via the interactive tab.

Yeah, you don't need anyone's permission.
Would stay up if I felt there was a strong possibility of a firm result on the night. But I can't see a definitive result so will opt for some kip I think. | |

Trump is considering whether to cancel his Election night party at a DC Hotel.
His reason is because of the Covid restrictions on large gatherings.
The cancellation bit is true but I suspect his reason isn't. |  |

I think he gave up on that months ago. It's now an operation to cast doubt on the election, whip his supporters up into a frenzy so that they believe the election was stolen from them and lay the ground work to contest the decision in through the courts. | |

Probably mentioned somewhere I've missed, but Walmart have temporarily stopped selling guns and ammunition apparently.
So it was said on the news a short time ago. |  |

You forget that they have stringent checks
'Do you know how to fire this, boy ?'
'I think so'
'That's $79, please'
err, that's it | | | |

that, as far as I am concerned, is the most vile of all his statements on COVID. | | | |

I don’t think it’s much of a leap to say he’s projecting what he’d do. However, the vast majority of doctors aren’t sociopaths. |  |

If this were true, would it not reflect on how badly the US healthcare system is ?
Or does this not occur to this fat fraud, and his clueless hillbillies - nodding behind him like some toy dogs on the parcel shelf of a 1970's Austin Allegro ? | | | |

Much like with Brexit, isn't there a large fundamental truth we need to be discussing in relation to the kind of people that support this side show - namely you're either in the vastly wealthy group, or in the group impacted by the state crippling the education system so badly that your intelligence and critical thinking levels are through the floor?
The only way this extremism is going away is for any country with this issue to elect governments that value education and critical thinking enough to sink resources into it over the course of a generation. [Post edited 30 Oct 2020 21:17]

If true, seems like an excellent argument for socialised health care to me... | |
