It’s funny I see all these talking heads that claim Trump spoke to the forgotten (white) man in 2016, while all Hillary did was talk about Trump. Same complaints about Biden earlier in the race, oh the focus was too much on Trump. Now I ask everyone can you name me Trump’s 2nd term agenda? What’s he talking about at his rallies? He’s not even talking to the forgotten man about policy or an agenda. He’s not even talking that much about Biden. He’s attacking Hillary, Obama, Borat and Governors of Democratic states. Trump is literally doing everything that other people complained Hillary and Biden did, but for some reason there’s still so much anxiety that he’s going to win.

People need to face facts, the only reason Trump won is voter apathy and people didn’t take him seriously as a clear and present danger. It was a fluke. Trump won in some states with less votes than Romney lost with. Even without covid he would have found a way to **** up the election because he’s barely a functional human being and he’s in a position that he never should have come close to in the first place

The only thing I'm curious about now is if the servers the website hooked in to hosted any databases or emails which is possible. The hack may have captured something of note, but the hacker message itself seems rather foolish so I don't expect much to come of it. Still, Trump and his people are so damn lax about security. Trump is such a d-bag he uses regular cellphones which everybody knows is an open line for spys to listen to. Basically, every intelligence agency has dirt on Trump, mostly because they are reckless clowns

He was down 6pts to a generic Democrat in polling before Covid.

2018 Blue Wave also happened before Covid.

I think the majority of the country has been holding on to their anger for 4 years and have just been biding their time until 11/3/20

Which is why the early voting numbers clearly show what is happening. It is not a replay of 2016 and people need to stop pretending it is. The nation got its wake up call. Shouldn't have had to get one, but they did, the got the message and they are voting.

Yeah maybe because nothing is sticking with Biden but I dont get his tactics of attacking everyone but Joe likes he’s running against them.

The Obama thing is the only thing I get only because Trumps been obsessed with him since Obama roasted him in the correspondents dinner

CNN And MSNBC do have their bias as well and they should not be your sole place for information.

This is why when finding sources, you don't just look at one link. For example, look for information from the AP, Reuters, BBC, NPR, or even scholarly journals, for example, to see if they can corroborate.

But CNN and MSNBC are nowhere close to Fox in terms of bias, let alone Breitbart or OAN

There is no equivalent to Fox News on the left, and the closest thing to OAN or Breitbart is probably TYT

Every news source has a bias, but not every source is equally biased. It's really not that hard to understand, but some people feel the need to oversimplify this stuff so they can "but both sides" to make themselves feel superior.


You must be nuts if you don't think MSNBC is as biased as Fox. MSNBC literally fired Ed Schultz for covering Bernie Sanders announcement to run for president. Cenk Uygar had a popular show on MSNBC that challenged certain Democrats on Capitol Hill, and they forced him to either tone it down or lose his show (he eventually quit and created TYT). For the past 4 years, MSNBC promoted Russiagate conspiracy theories because Hillary lost and told them to.

MSNBC is definitely as biased as Fox News. It's the democrats stomping ground, period.

CNN is just fake news for ratings. Like Jon Stewart said in his interview on Fox News--CNN is biased towards sensationalism, and MSNBC wishes it was half as successful as Fox.

Yes, MSNBC wishes they were half as good at promoting BS. Thing is, they're not. That's why their consistently trail Fox News in the ratings.

I don't think it's wise to rely on the any of the MSM cable news networks. You have to do your research and sift through it all. That said, the Fox News prime time pundits - Tucker, Hannity, and Ingrahman - are horse manure. They are the worst. On par with Rush and all of the other right wing lunatics that are tearing this country apart.

This mind set is immune to education. These people are wired differently. Psychological research studies have shown it to be a function of their fear. They are a very fearful personality type.

I was told to be proud of my heritage. What heritage is that I asked? Do you mean my heritage as a white man? Yes, they said, you're disconnected from your culture. And I'm like, look man, I don't give a flying fck if a non-white majority rules this damn country. Justice and democratic rule is not a skin game to me, you dig? And they looked at me funny like I had a screw loose.

So yeah they're wired different. They're racists

If you're MAGA you're a White Nationalist

It is a mental illness, but try telling a mentally ill person they're ill. You can't. If you do, they'll just open their Donald Sutherland Day of the Triffid mouths and screech that you're the insane person which is what I was told

yes, these people are sick and they are definitely driven by fear. Fear of a non-white majority. So as a white person I have every right to say fck them all and they can go to hell, because this land was made for all of us, especially after we murdered all of the original inhabitants and stole people from other lands to do our labor

That's what they're afraid of, a just society
