US Election 2020

[L'Emmerdeur]

The InfoWars president retweeting somebody named Parrot: 'Biden had Navy SEALs killed to keep his dirty tricks hidden.'

'Trump Touts Falconer’s Benghazi Blood-Sacrifice Conspiracy Theory'

Parrot claims that Biden cut a deal with Iran to set up Bin Laden’s 2011 death in Pakistan. But when Iran double-crossed the United States and switched in a Bin Laden body double, in Parrot’s telling, Biden and Clinton arranged for a Navy SEAL helicopter to be shot down to keep the truth about the raid from getting out— a reference to a real-world helicopter attack in Afghanistan that killed 38 people, including 25 Navy SEALs.

“Vice President Biden paid with the blood of Seal Team 6,” Parrot said in the video. “He spent their blood like currency.”

Later in the video, Noe claims that the Benghazi compound was attacked to cover up the fact that, supposedly, the missile used in the helicopter attack came from the United States.

“It’s just so wicked,” Parrot said in the video, adding that he has “terabytes” of evidence to prove the conspiracy theory to Trump.

He gonna be an ex-Parrot if he don't shut up. Push up daisies. Join the choir invisible.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Yeah, and they'll eat his grandkids, too.

My idiot is better looking than your idiot. Plus she's a girl. If I'm gonna get fucked by someone, I'd rather it was a GIRL.

Don't hate me for being me.

you know pegging will be involved, right?

[Hermit]

Don't look at me, I ain't voting for either one of those fucking idiots.

They are the only two candidates in the game. If you try to tell me that you don't think that one of them marginally less bad than the other, I frankly do not believe you.

ManY states open and count ballots as they come in. PA and WI will count election day:

Complicating things is that some states accept ballots after Election Day, provided they were postmarked by Election Day. Still, any head start in vote counting would help states report results sooner.

Two battleground states that give election officials a lot of time to process ballots before Election Day are Florida and Arizona, which means they are likely to have a lot of results on election night.

One's a dickhead, one's demented. I can't vote for Trump because Trump. I can't vote for Biden because he's demented and they're really running Harris. I wont be party to that sort of bait and switch bullshit, she lost the primaries for a reason. So it's 3rd Party Protest Vote, again. If enough people did that we'd have a very different political landscape. If this means 4 more years of Trump then so be it, the fucking Democrats should have learned their goddamn lesson last election. If they lose it is 100% their fault, they shouldn't have been such lying, dishonest shitheels.

People go on about it not being a democratic system. Tell me, WTF is democratic about running a stealth candidate?

[Sean Hayden]

But you just made up the stealth candidate bit. Biden ran and he won.

There's nothing wrong with voting for your Libertarian because you like her and the party more than Democrats or Republicans. I couldn't vote for someone, or a party I didn't think was going to do the right thing, just because I don't like the other guy.

[Tero]

Refuse to accept election results citing upcoming Supreme Court ruling.

Laklak: save your gas or postage stamp, don't vote.

[Hermit]

I couldn't vote for someone, or a party I didn't think was going to do the right thing, just because I don't like the other guy.

How principled. Given two options - and there are only two when it comes to deciding who the US president will be in the next term, I'd be voting for the lesser of the two evils, regardless of what I think of him.

Here in Australia we have preferential voting - kind of an instant runoff system, so we can afford the luxury of voting for a politician we really like even if he or she has a snowflake's chance in hell of getting somewhere. Our vote will just flow on to our second preference. If that candidate gets eliminated, our vote flows on to the third, and so on.

Another big difference is that we don't actually elect our Prime Minister. Roughly speaking, we elect our local member. If the conservatives win, the parliamentary members of the so-called Liberal party elect the PM and the parliamentary members of the National party elect the deputy PM. If the Labor party wins, the parliamentary members, party caucus and Labor party members elect the PM and deputy PM.

[Sean Hayden]

As an American I've learned that the lesser of two evils is a poor decision maker's excuse for their less than stellar results. It's the war hawks fuckin' mantra.

Thankfully, I don't think Biden is the lesser of two evils. The Democrats actually want to do many of the things I'd like to see get done. So I don't have a problem voting for their candidate.

[laklak]

No, I'm not making up the stealth candidate thing. Anyone who has ever dealt with dementia or Alzheimer's (I certainly have) can see that Joe's well into it. If someone from the outside can see it then everyone close to him can sure as fuck see it. Pelosi isn't spinning up the 25th Amendment because she thinks Trumpy has the CoronaCrazies, it's to get rid of Joe when he starts uncontrollably drooling and dry-humping girls while sniffing their hair. If they'd picked Bernie or maybe Warren as VP it would still be unconscionable, but at least both of them polled a shitload better than Harris in the primaries. If they actually do not realize how bad Joe is getting then even MORE reason not to vote for them.

I'm registered as a Libertarian, and I generally vote for the more Libertarian candidate in other elections. In this one we have an actual candidate, so I will support her. If that's actually a vote for Biden or a vote for Trump (one could argue either side) then so be it.

[NineBerry]

So, I had a look at the policies of Jo Jorgensen with regard to healthcare. And I am appalled. It's very much anti-science and anti-social.

[laklak]

Doesn't matter. She has zero chance of winning, and zero chance of implementing any of her policies. I'm not stupid enough to think there's any possibility of ANY Libertarian candidate winning, the only thing we might (and it's a slim "might") accomplish is to give the major players pause.

[NineBerry]

I don't understand the logic. So, if the libertarian candidate gets a lot of votes for policies like "abolish the FDA" wouldn't that mean that the major candidates would adopt such policies?
