Almagnus1 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Anyone saying Antifa is not in play has been gaslighted. And somehow this radical leftist hate group gets called a bunch of "white supremacist".... Well, they're not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like he can't help it. Mind you, this is a man who claims to be 6'3, but wasn't even taller in his little shoe lifts than Obama was at 6'1. His ego needs the lies to protect itself.

Hell, had the Democrats done some self reflection and realized that when you run a sociopathic bitch as a candidate, people aren't going to vote for her instead of blaming everyone else on their failure, we would actually see a contender for Trump... rather than a guy that really should be in an old folk's home instead of the campaign trail.

Yet if you look at the result Trump got 2% less of the vote then Clinton, so the polls were pretty accurate. Remember the polls dont account for where people live and how this will affect the electoral college vote. They are a poll of the popular vote which in all but 5 cases is the person that wins Clinton / Kaine Democratic 50 + DC 538 100% 65,853,514 48.18% Trump / Pence Republican 50 + DC 538 100% 62,984,828 46.09% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splay Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 The electoral college is outdated, and doesn't represent the one person, one vote idea. I can see this going by the wayside in the near future. It gives too much power to states with smaller populations and skews to overall will of a Democracy.

A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact is actually an unconstitutional agreement B. Let's see if the NPVIC stays in effect should (hypothetically speaking) Trump wins the popular vote and then gets the votes for a bunch of the blue states that would have gone to Biden handed over to Trump. I'd imagine many of the Democrats would likely ignore NPVIC on the spot because there's no way they'd want to contribute to Trump winning in any fashion and they're just that petty. C. The US is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic that uses democratic proceedings. A pure democracy is basically mob rule, which is a very bad things (for obvious reasons). Trying to remove power from the minorities only serves to make the US more totalitarian - and for someone that's drinking the leftist Kool-Aid I'm surprised you'd be so willing to trample the minorities when it doesn't benefit you politically. That isn't surprising because the Democrats (as demonstrated by the religious oppression they implemented by their lockdown measures) are basically a bunch of totalitarians that don't give two shits about the minorities beyond their ability to vote for them. I mean... And the further descent into madness in Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all pure nonsense. Cossie called you out on rejection of the polls linked because they don't fit your narrative (not that I put any weight in polls) and your response was to bring up something he hasn't even mentioned and then tried to claim he believes it. This "deeper and more complex thought" you claim to engage in has been to make up shit in your own head and try to argue against that. Even worse, you just paint everyone who disagrees with you as a leftist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doro Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's going to hell pretty quickly out there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53017776 Difficult situation for Trump to navigate when the leaders in that area are opposed to him, he can't get away with his bluster and bravado while they're stopping him. He'd have to use that whole Insurrection Act thing, which to be fair has a legitimate point now since there's no police in this anarchist area, but he'd end up looking like a dictator trying to take it back.
