General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1621

I’m just so tired.

 

Maybe if they listened to what I said way back in May we wouldn't be in this mess. (who am I kidding, we totally would)

 

Hasn’t their poll been doing this every other month?

 

Yeah. There’s no way that’s correct.

 

My biggest concern with these polls is that in order for Trump not to claim victory on election night (and turn any change in result due to mail in ballots into a lengthy court fight the republican controlled supreme court will ultimately decide) I feel like Biden probably needs to be up something ridiculous like +10 or more

 

He’s gonna claim victory on election night.

 

Gotta be fucking kidding me lol

 

I'm not from US and i can't understand how people vote for Trump when it's this obvious that he doesn't have a clue about pretty much anything...

Biden doesn't look much better either...

 

Get his ass

 

King

 

I’m about as left wing as it gets and I fucking hate biden, but he looks much better

 

I’ve come to the decision to vote for Biden because of the Supreme Court, but the Dems have completely lost my vote for future presidential elections (unless Trump loses and runs again or something), unless they truly shift and get their shit together. I imagine I’m not the only person with the same feelings.

If I didn’t live in Florida I wouldn’t even be bothering with filling out the president part of the ballot

 

Yeah, i agree that he is the lesser of two evils.

USA in general is very weird to me. Human rights are on a decent level, average wage is 5th in the world and overall you can have a pretty comfortable life if you're smart enough. But, on the other side, universal healthcare doesn't exist, wealth gap is huge, gun laws are terrible and government spend way too much on military (to expand influence by sending troops all over the world and then act like they are some kind of saviors).

Do you think that any of this can change if you elect a wise and capable leader in the future?

 

Be Biden’s biggest ally until Election Day, and then be his biggest pain the ass.

 

I am disgusted with the Democrats but I would have to judge future presidential elections as they come as far whether I’d vote dem. Republicans are just so unbelievably bad I can certainly imagine another significant lesser of two evil difference in 4 or 8 years even with establishment dem candidates. If I wasn’t in a swing state I would feel differently and would just focus on other things to try to push this party left or get other, better third party candidates in elected positions.
I do know that I have to fight against Democrats pretty much just as hard as I have to fight against republicans. Ultimately the party doesn’t want the things I want but at least when completely exposed and backed into a corner they feel like they’re forced to move a little bit. When modern day republicans are exposed they double down on racism and plow ahead. The two party system has been a disaster and I don’t know how it can be solved at this point.

 

There's a lot of obstacles in the way to prevent a leader who would change any of that from gaining the power to do so
