2020 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

The South was a lost cause for Democrats. Now eight key Senate seats are in play.

... Georgia, where both Senate seats are competitive ...

Despite the political convention that Republicans hold a secure grip on the South, Democratic candidates are polling competitively in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas — which together account for eight Senate seats and possibly the balance of power in the chamber....
Eight!

If, if, PINO has destroyed the GOP can we honestly call him the worst POTUS ever? ;)

The right-wing propaganda machine has always and will always screech "socialist" "commie" or whatever the buzzword of the decade might be. They called Obama a socialist; they called Bill Clinton - Bill Clinton, ferpetesake - a socialist for his health care efforts. It's a little more complicated since Bernie! calls himself a socialist, but I think a lot of the sting has come off that particular barb.
:thumbup: :thumbup: Biden would be "socialist". Maybe it's time to reply with "So?" "No I'm not," hasn't worked out all that great.
I think that's a great response - "So? - Pay attention to the plan/policy/proposal/issue and not the label"
We predicted this election's attacks over a year ago, though not the Dem reaction to them.

That's my family's district. My mom is voting for the first time in her life this year.
Will she be voting Dem? If so, she COULD be part of an historic seat flip and a blue wave.

Sure will.
Yippee. You go, girl!

You beat me on the Omaha story, another Cheetohead campaign clusterfuck.

Barely disguised disdain posing as humor for places he's never been to before he was running for anything and will never visit again after this election.
Yet the cultists seem to lap it up.

Speaking of Cheetohead campaign clusterfucks:

Biden is vastly outspending Trump in the final week of the 2020 race

Trump Campaign Shifts Florida Ad Spending Burden to RNC
Focus moves to northern states where Trump prevailed in 2016
Buoyed by fundraising, Biden holds 3-1 edge in recent spending


I'm disgusted by the amounts, but until we get meaningful and radical campaign finance reform, possibly by constitutional amendment, how perfect is it that PINO and the Repugs are too poor to campaign effectively, including in his own residence state of Florida?

:thumbup: Chalk up another vote for Biden / Harris. Tomorrow is the last day for early voting in TN so I went at 11am. I was surprised there was no line and no trump "poll watchers" but was prepared for them ("who the fuck are you?"). It's drizzling rain and I had my umbrella I was prepared to use on them if they gave me any shit.....fire that sucker open in his face and kick him in the balls while he tries to figure out what's happening. Hominy don't play that. Anyway, was in and out of there in less than twenty minutes. They ran out of "I voted" stickers so I missed out on that.

Congrats and good luck! I was not offered a sticker and forgot to ask.

I did not notice any poll watchers, but was pretty focused on voting, anyhow. There was a Repug table outside, though. It was weird, on my way in not one of the several Repugs there asked if I wanted some election material. I was wearing my "We Are All Dreamers" t-shirt. On my way out one of the Repugs said, "I like your shirt." I thought about explaining to her that it's an expression of solidarity and 180 degrees different from the "All Lives Matter" stupidity, but just walked on. Maybe she noticed the "#Here To Stay" on the back. I hope so.

This is a bit of a surprise and should be very troubling for PINO.

Troubling for progressives, too. The best thing for the poor, working and middle classes, environment, America and the people of the world would have been for Wall St to support PINO and for him to lose bigly.

A legislator friend once explained to me that opposition was a good thing. Then, after he was elected they owed him rather than him owing them.

Overheard:

"There's no way Trump loses unless the dems commit fraud. Trump's rallies draw enormous crowds whereas Biden's draw nowhere near as many people"

Trump opponents don't have the cult like following. This proves nothing.

Also, I overheard another convo about the dems passing covid relief and including some money to the kennedy center, some of which the kennedy center turned around and donated to the DNC. I did some research and this never happened.

It's wild how much disinformation is out there, all of which takes no time at all to debunk.

Thanks, Facebook...

If the tea leaves are being read correctly and the pollsters are at all reflective, this could be a Carter type collapse in the last week.
