2020 US Presidential Nominees

[RobbieK]

The election, and also everything in general

Everything in general would appear to be going to shit.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Everything in general would appear to be going to sh*t.

Have you heard of coronavirus?

 

[RobbieK]

Have you heard of coronavirus?

Yes.

Are the Republicans winning in their response to it?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Yes.

Are the Republicans winning in their response to it?

I would say it's pretty evenly shared between Republican's and Democrats what's happening over there given a lot has been delegated to the states.

The good thing tho is that they shut down travel when the Dem's wouldn't have, could've been a whole lot worse

The US didn't shut down travel. They stopped Chinese people from entering the country. Tens of thousands of Americans still entered the country from China after the "China ban", which itself only happened after the airlines had already stopped flying themselves, and hundreds of thousands of people continued to enter via Europe even when it was clear that the virus had hit there pretty hard. Countries in the EU shut down inbound travel, Australia and New Zealand shut down inbound travel, slowing entries to small trickles and imposing strict quaratine periods. The US didn't do that, which is why things are a whole lot worse in the US than it is in comparable countries.

So again, where is this generalised winning to be found?

Yeah that's what I was alluding to, the thing the WHO and Dems swore against

 

[RudyBlue]

I dunno who these guys are but the rambling Biden impressions are fantastic

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

It's utterly bewildering to me. Biden is an appalling candidate with dozens of ways he could legitimately be attacked on his actual record but they just keep banging on with this "radical left" nonsense.

I mean, this is the senator from MBNA we're talking about for Christ's sakes!

But no, Joe Biden the Marxist, communist it is.

As I said, bewildering.

No other option for them unfortunately. If they went after Biden for his flaws, a few Republicans might jump ship and vote for him instead.

 

[Father Jack]

Just some of the right wingers because I agree with you on this. BTW you'll probably find this amusing:

I don't find it amusing to see people taking his words out of context, no.

You must be empathetic of Trump then

 

[The Passenger]

The whole republicans used to be pro abolition and the democratic party was riddled with KKK members is dog whistling for simpleton's. Actually for that matter I've yet to see a PragerU video which should be consumed seriously by anyone with half an ounce of critical thinking capacity. Nice little touch of them to trot out a black woman as well.

What the parties stood for 100+ years ago has no bearing on today. End of story.

 

[Father Jack]

Such as when?

 

[Hornberger]

What the parties stood for 100+ years ago has no bearing on today. End of story.

What is far more important is to understand is that Southern Democrats used be the home for white racists, and the Republican Party thought it was a good idea to actively target those voters with the Southern Strategy.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Harris will not get the VP nomination

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Such as when?

Such as when the left wing of the media take his words out of context

 

[swingdog]

Harris will not get the VP nomination

What's your thinking on that?

 

[Father Jack]

[Baltimore Jack]

Just Twitter chatter that she won't and that today she stopped following him on several social media platforms

She has cracked the shits

 

[Ned_Flanders]

She has cracked the shits

has she definitely unfollowed?

in the past people have made these claims about others (notably AFL players around trade time), and it turned out either (1) they never followed them in the first place, or (2) they didn't unfollow and noone bothered to check

 

[Ned_Flanders]

shes still following him on twitter

 

[Ned_Flanders]

[Ned_Flanders]

Not according to Emma Vigeland

She's actually taken it back on her Twitter just now

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Such as when?

Too many times to count. Take Charlottesville for example
