2020 US Election mega thread

[revelations]

No one in 2005ish, when grumpy old men 3 came out, would have ever believed that an American presidential race would be downgraded so fast.

Is anyone surprised this was done by a Qanon guy?

Glad I was able to do my absentee ballot via email which gave me full traceability.

Facebook and Twitter heavily censored Bombshell report on Biden lying about his involvement with his son's corrupt Business dealings. Hmm, I wonder why..

His son getting paid $50K/month on a Board with zero knowledge and experience. Pay for Play. Corrupt as Hell. He bragged about having a Prosecutor fired who was investigating Burisma.

It is a little surprising considering the normal profile of a person caught dumping mail in ballots is a Democrat voter.

Gotta remember:

Biden's son on a board of directors -> Must be corruption

Trumps kids all getting jobs they aren't qualified for -> Perfectly legal

[Mitsu3000gt]

Speaking of people with zero experience getting important jobs, have a look at all the people Trump has hired, many of which are his own family haha. Nearly all of them have zero experience for the roles they are working (including his National Security Advisor), and have already been caught giving away national security info. A much scarier thought is when Trump is out of office either in 2021 or 2025, all these people who should never have been hired in the first place for those jobs will know so much sensitive information. Just imagine what leverage someone might be able to exercise over a former president with $300M+ of debt due in a few years...

His administrator overseeing Federal Housing and Urban Development is his personal event planner with you guessed it, zero experience haha. There are a bunch more I would have to go look up, but it's actually pretty funny.

I think it’s funny that this thread is basically made up of people being hypocritical about hypocrisy.

Tbh the entire US system is corrupt, both parties of guilty of it. I don't think I've ever said the left isn't also guilty of it, just that it's hypocrisy to overlook the other side doing the exact same thing. The problem is there is no incentive for them to change things and it just pushes the political pendulum back and forth. Each set of terms is consumed mostly by undoing what the other side previously did and their whole 2 years of campaigning and elections is basically set up to just attack and complain against each other.

Guess how many times one party in the US has held the presidency for longer than 8 years? Since 1950 it's happened only once. The US system is designed to just flip flop back and forth and keep both sides unhappy.

On the plus side, I believe there are now 15 or 16 states who have signed onto the NPVIC that will help reduce the chance of a President winning the election but losing the popular vote by a large number of votes. They have all agreed to give all the state's electoral votes to the candidate with the most popular votes and some of them are pretty big:

Maryland
New Jersey
Illinois
Hawaii
Washington (state)
Massachusetts
Washington, D.C. District of Columbia
Vermont
California
Rhode Island
New York (state)
Connecticut
Colorado
Delaware Delaware
New Mexico
Oregon

It's a step in the right direction against the electoral college ridiculousness at least.

[revelations]

No doubt that both red and blue sides are guilty of similar trespasses - the main difference is that the (global) MSM/SM is becoming a full fascist group on their own, only allowing select stories from one side or one narrative.

trumpet kids do something elitist or sinister like this - wall to wall news. biden etc. - suppressed, hidden, or banned outright.

Digital Nazi Germany.

Wow not sure how I missed this NPVIC thing. Could be a big deal. Could finally break the electoral college.

It's a great concept but every state on that list was blue in 2016 and so their EC votes already followed the popular vote. It's neat symbolically but would've made 0 different in the 2016 election. Only way it affects change is if swing states join in.

I don't believe every state on that list already had a policy in place to give all their votes to the winning candidate (some do, some don't), so this is an improvement as it guarantees all the votes to the popular vote candidate rather than giving them to the electoral college winner. For the states that may not have given all their votes to the electoral college winner by default, those votes now all go to the popular vote winner.

Colorado is also a perennial swing state and they joined.

It's still an improvement that affects change depending on whether or not the particular state used to give all their votes (regardless of rep. or dem.) to the college winner, which often is not the popular vote winner.

It's at least a step in the right direction towards making each person's vote count, where currently it very much does not. The republicans vehemently oppose anything brought forward to improve election fairness as they rarely win the popular vote.

Thats fair, and I forgot Colorado was a swing state. I just assumed the stoners would always vote green err i mean blue.

Really has nothing to do with being qualified. And Bidens kid being on the BOD is not the corruption. Hunter introducing Joe to the Ukranian diplomat that Joe was then busted red handed on a recorded phone call with, bribing him for a billion dollars to fire the prosecutor looking into him. That part is corruption.

Joe's obviously not paying enough taxes if he has a billion dollars. Get him boys!
