Yeppers

I'd say we'll have the final vote count by the end of the week. I know in the interim we'll have to endure the mocking and gloating of Trumpers who will claim they have won. But once the results are in the clear and there is no longer any way to deny Biden's victory I'll be more than happy to say goodbye to this thread forevermore. I suggest we get to the point of the certified results putting the electoral count out of reach as a good time to call this a wrap. This is exhausting

Love the ad

Trump has no respect for IP
He'll steal an American artist's song without permission, built his buildings with Chinese steel
Only a sucker fell for his getting tough on China act
American farmers paid the price though

It's ironic to me that you guys call Trump an Authoritarian and Dictator but when he doesn't declare an authoritarian mandate on lockdowns and masking he is not authoritarian enough. He did everything that is required at a federal level. Imposed travel bans early, made sure masks, testing and ventilators were made available to all that needed them quickly. It is not up to the President or federal government to dictate what individual states do. That is not the way this government works. We still have an overwhelming amount of states rights which was designed to NOT allow a Authoritarian to have complete control on their say of the country as a protection. No one told Cuomo to put sick people in nursing homes or tell the people to continue as normal until it got out of hand and then backtracked and blamed Trump for it.

Not the fact that over 230k people have passed away from COVID and there is no plan in sight from his administration other than just wishing it went away like a miracle. Not the fact that he is a misogynistic, bigoted racist that only cares about himself. Not the fact that he cheats on his taxes and to this day still can't show us his tax returns. Not the fact that we still don't know the whereabouts of over 500 children by his policies. Not the fact that he has to be shamed into disavowing white nationalists (which he still doesn't really disavow). Not the fact that his family is working in the White House simply because they are related to him and yet wants us to pretend it isn't happening. Not the fact that the GOP couldn't care less about helping anyone but the rich and powerful and staying in power. Not the fact that he is the most corrupt and evil person to hold the office.

All of these things are horrible. But what really pisses me off is over 40% of people in this country are not only okay with it, but they are willing to go through it for another term. Lighting yourself on fire so the smoke and ash can make your neighbor cough is just bringing harm to yourself and then someone else has to take care of the problem. That spite is literally getting people killed. Why are those people okay with this?

We may not share political ideologies and that's fine, but we're still all Americans. We should all want each other to do well and succeed. We should still care about each other's well-being. And instead, from the top, we have an angry president who has from day one divided this country into two categories - his following vs. everyone else. And last I checked, he is not just the president of his following; but of the entire United States. If he wanted to simply be the former, he should have started a fan club and let the adults run for public office. We should not look at our neighbors and co-workers are enemies. We shouldn't stop talking to family members, but sadly, here we are. And it's thanks to not only him, but people who blindly go along with it.

The past four years truly have felt like you've been tied to a chair while a toddler is holding a gun AND his parents are recording the video on TikTok.

By the way, the world is also watching.


40% of the country would rather see it burn to the ground just to satisfy their own selfishness and tribalism. This is not surprising, this is how authoritarianism grows and flourishes. This is how Putin gets to a 90% approval in Russia and wins 90% of the vote. It’s already started, once you go down the path of authoritarianism there is no recovery. Tuesday is the last chance for Democracy. The good thing is that a lot of the 40% isn’t completely lost, but Trump is the cancer that fans the flames and reinforces their work instincts.

It's stories like this that just make me sad. Families literally breaking apart because of who you voted for. I remember Bush Jr., but never did I ever consider cutting someone out of my life because they voted for him. He may have done some bad things, but that pales in comparison to the current occupant's resume.

When lifelong Democrat Mayra Gomez told her 21-year-old son five months ago that she was voting for Donald Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election, he cut her out of his life.

“He specifically told me, ‘You are no longer my mother, because you are voting for Trump’,” Gomez, 41, a personal care worker in Milwaukee, told Reuters. Their last conversation was so bitter that she is not sure they can reconcile, even if Trump loses his re-election bid.

“The damage is done. In people’s minds, Trump is a monster. It’s sad. There are people not talking to me anymore, and I’m not sure that will change,” said Gomez, who is a fan of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants and handling of the economy.

Gomez is not alone in thinking the bitter splits within families and among friends over Trump’s tumultuous presidency will be difficult, if not impossible, to repair, even after he leaves office - whenever that is.

In interviews with 10 voters - five Trump supporters and five backing Democratic candidate Joe Biden - few could see the wrecked personal relationships caused by Trump’s tenure fully healing, and most believed them destroyed forever.


https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-families/you-are-no-longer-my-mother-a-divided-america-will-struggle-to-heal-after-trump-era-idUSKBN27I16E

Thanks to his extremely divisive messaging, this is not surprising. The resident in the White House has made anyone who doesn't support him the enemy. And if you go along with that message, you should not be surprised when everyone else looks at you the same.

I hope enough people can see him for the "man" he truly is and returns this country on the path it needs to go so we can be better. Because we are better than this. We can't afford to fail. Or we will be failing not only ourselves but for future generations too. Your vote is for your unborn relative. Please let it be one they can live with - literally.


Honestly if you stop talking to a family member or close friend because of who they voted for you’re an absolute foo a dumbass realy

Trump is a malicious idiot who wouldn't understand federalism and state rights if it bit him on the ass. He has clearly demonstrated the only state's whose rights he respects are the ones run by people who suck him off. If you oppose him in any way you can kiss your state's rights away. Trump has loudly announced multiple times that he is only the president of the red states and everyone else can go F themselves. He's not a president. He's a gang leader.

Carville should get back in the saddle and take the role that the Dems abdicated to the Lincoln Project because he is smart, he's savage and he's on our side

And I'll take Carville's read on the situation over the MSM. I agree with him. I pretty much expect we will know enough about Biden's electoral edge to call the outcome by midnight tomorrow

I'm just speaking in general and towards no one specific. If you don't vote by tomorrow, then why should you comment on politics? Why should I listen to you, hear you bit.ch and wh.ne if you didn't vote. Is it because you really don't have a candidate that supports your thoughts 100%? Who does?!I support all but 1 of Trump's policies and I support all of Biden's policies but a few.

He was wrong about the blue wave in 2018. He said there wasn't on election night but it turns out that it was a few weeks later when it was ofically tallied. I do agree with him that Dems are trying to think that there has to be some sort of protocol and norm. While Republicans are here to play to win. There's only 1 winner and the rest are LOOOOOSERs. Dems need to think like that.

I'll side with Bill Maher when he calls Dems "losers".

You are absolutely right! When the Mayor of of Seattle completely lost control of his city and CHAZ took over city property, Trump rushed in with the military within hours and broke it up. Oh wait, noooo he didn't do that......

He has stayed out of state affairs on numerus accounts but he has the right to tell them when they are doing a terrible job. Which just so happens to be a lot of these Democrat run cities and states.
