"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

He never promised her a rose garden.

If it should be the democrat’s priority then I trust you’ll be voting for the Liberal Democrat’s and proportional representation next time then.

This is not the gotcha you think it is.

#NEW National @Rasmussen_Poll:

Biden 52% (+12)
Trump 40%

(LV, 9/30-10/6)

lol

remember this is the pollster famous for predicting a Romney landslide

Ok but you’re still the worst poster on here since gabneb xp

Ok but you don't have to throw that desperate vote lib dem jibe, it's the US Pol thread.

Not quite a Romney landslide, if memory serves. Certainly nothing like what we’re seeing now.

xps

Why seniors have turned to Biden.

Turns out -- no surprise -- that calls to the golden years of Tip 'n' Ronnie having a drink after yelling at each other all day...work with this demographic.

If you claim to think FPTP is the #1 problem in us politics the it’s curious that you’ve literally never mentioned it as an issue on the uk pol threads. Beginning to wonder if you’re posting in good faith. Hmm. Xp

The important takeaway from that Rasmussen poll isn't whether or not they're accurate (which I don't think most people believe them to be) but rather that AFAIK their polls tend to heavily favor the GOP. So when you factor that in these results indicate that Trump is likely in for a powerfisting come November.

Makes sense.

good lord:

“For many seniors their understanding of what a Republican is was shaped by Ronald Reagan more than anyone else,” Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg told me. “Many people who voted for Trump in 2016 thought they were getting an updated version of Reagan. But what they got instead was a childish, angry autocrat.

As I said I just picked up on the three million + votes exchange upthread and made a comment. I didn't claim it was the #1 problem xps to caek.

one thing I've read a lot re: seniors' preference for Biden: Trump is just way too online. none of them know what the fuck he's talking about most of the time.

re: undecideds

Ken Bone is, and I mean this in the meanest way possible, the stupidest American https://t.co/FfeRBrJK9v

lmao he is not undecided

All morning the Trump supporters have been nice to me even though I don't like Trump. The Biden camp has been shitting all over me because I don't like Biden. Do these people really not see how much this behavior pushes bystanders toward the right?

he is though, a blue checkmark for some reason

I never want to hear from him again. Too many bad memories.

Hell, I saw a Cubs World Series Champions sticker on a car the other day and got triggered.

glad to see mr bone is also on the, "don't you see? you being rude leaves me absolutely no choice but to be racist!" train

Well.

Starting this week, a generation of voters in Texas will see something they’ve never witnessed before: a heavy rotation of presidential TV ads.

In a move that would have been far-fetched even a few months ago, Joe Biden is set to spend $6.2 million on ads in the state over the next month — attempting to put the state in play for the first time in decades. The latest polling averages show President Donald Trump leading by only 2 to 3 points in Texas, and Biden’s push there illustrates both how much the state has changed and how much the political environment is tilting against Trump less than a month from the Election Day.

Perhaps even more astounding: Trump doesn’t have the money to counter the cash-flush Biden on TV.

Over the past two weeks, Biden had the airwaves to himself in Iowa, Ohio, Texas and New Hampshire, while Trump went dark, according to Advertising Analytics, a TV tracking firm. This week, Trump isn’t airing any ads in Nebraska, where both campaigns are competing for the lone Electoral College vote out of the Omaha-based congressional district, while Biden is dropping just under $500,000.

I'm still mad we had less than a week to appreciate that.

he's trying to mess with Texas

I voted Clinton in '16 and this morning I sealed my mail in ballot having voted for Jo Jorgensen.

I don't agree with either of them 100% but felt they were the best options available to me at the time.

— Ken Bone (@kenbone18) October 7, 2020

Hate all the singling out of Bone when FFS there are 17 other people who voted Clinton but won't go for Joe that we never hear from.

Hell, I saw a Cubs World Series Champions sticker on a car the other day

A little voice inside my head said don't look back you can never look back

Hell, I saw a Cubs World Series Champions sticker on a car the other day and got triggered.

the tweet from Nate Silver that was like "Trump's odds of winning are roughly the same as the Cubs winning the World Series" was the first time it really hit me that Trump actually had a shot so yeah bad memories all around

looking forward to your thoughts next time pr, av , etc. come up on the uk pol thread then.

See you in 2028.

Will you shut up, man?

huh I mistakenly thought Bone copped to ultimately pulling the lever for Trump

sometimes I get really bummed out that I live in a country where we don’t have universal basic healthcare but I know who Ken Bone is

would not have thought of Ken Bone as a fan of Ministry

Let's check in with Joe the Plumber.

Please don't be fooled. Even if @BernieSanders drops out there will still be a #Socialist running for the #WhiteHouse and that would be @JoeBiden He wants to "ReDistribute" your wealth as well. #2AShallNotBeInfringed #KAG2020 @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump @POTUS

What fucking wealth, man

joe's wealth clearly not measured in twitter interest

His expertise is in making sure shit flows efficiently.

his wiki is a real journey

"The power plant employee from Belleville, Ill., was selected to participate in the town hall with fellow undecided voters after answering a Gallup phone survey. Bone said he was leaning toward voting for Trump.

“They asked, ‘How likely are you to change your mind, on a scale of one to 10?‘” he explained. “One is, like, there’s no way you’ll change your mind — your candidate could murder a person on television and you’d still vote for them. And 10 was, it’s a total coin flip. And I said, like a two or a three. Like, I’m probably not going to change my mind, but I’m willing to hear what the other side has to say. And based on it being such a polarizing election, a two or a three was considered undecided.”

interesting, tell me more about your meaningless decision mr bone

"The subject is closed!"

did sarah palin drop out of politics and public life, or is she still doing the reality show thing?

Busy catching up on her favorite newspapers and magazines iirc.

it seems like she should be having a moment right now, for real. she is just as dumb and gullible as all these trump supporters, and she used to be the patron saint of stupidity. oh well

she was in the news last week!

Never forgive McCain for elevating that turkey and fueling other profoundly stupid people's delusions of glory.

Grandeur, glory, whatever. He helped to fuel them.

wtf, that video. nm, she is still ten years ahead of the dum dum curve

wow cant believe ken bone would do something stupid

Decent chance McConnell suckered Trump into pulling the plug on stimulus. Party is in bust out mode. McC likely sees that Trump is finished, probably senate majority too. Get the Court seat and leave the economy as wrecked as possible to ensure a Biden admin is stillborn.

I feel like Marshall is rarely this cynical

He is always, always writing fan fic though. “Decent chance.” Ok. Is that sourced, Josh?
