2020 US Election mega thread

[ZenOps]

Next term: Legalize it.

I wonder how many rep voters didnt vote because they thought the whole thing was fraudalent anyway?

Also I dont understand the whole REP thing - I want to pay for my healthcare because god damnit I want to bankrupt myself when I get sick. Most of the REP base probably cant even afford healthcare. I guess like my friend who is a rep in arizona thinks that nationalized healthcare like what we have is signing up for communism - such stupid logic.

It’s always much better to make other people pay for the things you want.

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding of the alternatives in that country, and it's not accidental.

Also they are so fixated on the ethnicity of their representatives. Oh a Jew is winning in Georgia - who the fuck cares if hes Jewish.

The Georgia Senate race is looking really good so far - Raphael Warnock has already won and Jon Ossoff is leading and expecting to win (uncounted votes are in predominantly democratic suburbs). If both win, the dems control the House and the Senate with Harris getting the tiebreaker vote and they will actually be able to get stuff done. Last time this happened was 2008 I believe.

Que the next wave of whining and "voter fraud" tweets haha - margins are pretty tight.

Is there a record of what sort of things Biden wants to achieve in the next 4 years? Seems like a dem controlled house and senate would be the worst possible outcome for oil/gas.

Aside from naps?

He will probably be doing clean-up for most of his term, repairing international relations, rejoining treaties, etc. Trump is purposely leaving the biggest wave of destruction he can to make it a nightmare for the new administration. First order of business will probably be Covid restrictions to curb the infection rate.

He has announced plans for another Covid relief package and a third round of stimulus checks for Americans in the near term, which probably would have to be veto'd through if the dems don't win Georgia.

Looks like they can given Dem won one and leads another with 98% reporting.

Yup, looking like a double victory. It will be way better for Americans if the Biden administration can actually get stuff done without the rest of the Senate trying to block anything and everything for no other reason than who thought of it.

Not looking good for the KXL pipeline, although I honestly wonder if it was ever going to get built regardless of who is Prime Minister or President. Permits are only as good as they can hold up against lawsuits, and they don't seem to hold up very well

On the other hand, Alberta can hope that Biden puts a bunch of barriers on Texas production, requiring more supply from Alberta

Arguably any crippling of the US O&G industry would benefit other countries' O&G industries (including Canada).

Aside from that, i believe they are looking to undo the Trump tax cuts for anyone making over 400k, probably stop the wall, more funding to the states for vaccine rollout, building on/improving Obamacare, and i would imagine/hope they kick off the massive infrastructure rebuilding plan that both parties have been talking about for ages. They should also quickly fill any openings for judges (Trump/Mcconnell confirmed a record number of very conservative judges over the past 4 years).

Inefficiency in gov't is not a bad thing, if the alternative is bad policy. This is a very bad day for the US.

Good point

[The_Rural_Juror]

Mitch is talking. It's actually a good speech so far.

Another BLM protest. Nothing to see here. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Good speech by Schumer too.

[sabad66]

Just a peaceful protest from the party of law and order. Indeed nothing to see there.
