2020 Election

What do you mean by this, what does patriotism mean to you?

What do you mean by ‘political correctness’ (most people in the UK seem to think that a bit of a joke I mean watch Mock the Week – it’s used in the right wing press to stir up fake righteous indignation, but please don’t say you have fallen for that?)

How is political correctness hitting people’s freedom of speech? I mean what do you want to say that political correctness stops you from saying?

 

Oh I don't know, look at how Warren is pulling ahead. Even Kamala (Willie's schlong) is doing better than expected. Bernie will drop out or an intern will push him down the capital steps.

Biden is the only game in town. He laughs off the mud. You could have video of him circumcising Great Danes and he'd shrug it off in a couple of days. I fail to understand why the democrats are overlooking this amazing talent of his. They need to focus on finding new shit about Trump.

Butti-ballgag will continue to garner an amazingly thin sliver of support. Enough to spend the summer in Tahiti after the election.

 

I don't think America is ready for a native American Indian in the oval office who always seems to come across uptight and angry. It sells in Massachusetts but it won't fly in Flagstaff.
Bernie would be front runner except the not ready for prime time candidates are siphoning away his natural base. This is the mess the DNC has created for us.

 

I dont think Elizabeth Waren comes across as uptight or angry at all

I like her. She's very policy-specific

 

Biden's slickness is exactly what I don't like about him. Democrats' only real hope where he is concerned is that Trump has become unpopular. But I don't think he has. I don't think Biden's even got going for him that which Hillary had going for her, which is some semblance of policy. He's just a slick smile and a nice hairdo in a suit. And I don't care what the polls say. All the polls said Hillary was a shoo-in, too.

And the way Bernie is being treated...it's exactly the same as in 2016. They won't give him a fair fight, and then they expect us to vote for their guy. With all of the attacks on Bernie, who really is just a genuine person, all I can say is "good luck." Here's one vote you won't be getting. I wasn't afraid of a Trump presidency in 2016 and I'm not now. Things haven't gotten any worse. At least war with North Korea isn't inevitable. War with Iran always was inevitable, on the other hand. It's just easier to swallow with Biden in office.

 

538 had Clinton beating Trump 48.5% to 44.9%. Actual results of popular vote were Clinton getting 48.2% and Trump getting 46.1%.

Off by 1.2% in Trump favor. Polls are fine.

It is pretty early though. But Bernie's losing ground. Mostly to Warren. It's because they're both progressives, but Warren is a policy wonk with many stated specific proposals, while Bernie just keeps on arguing about the meaning of democratic socialism.

 

I can’t believe you nimrods still trust polls after 2016

 

There is a 95 percent chance Hillary Clinton wins the Electoral College by 118 votes: poll

Yeah, polls are fine and dandy. Yep.

 

I actually think I'm the only one arguing that a 1.2% margin of error doesn't discredit statistic analysis of polling.

The rest of HipForums seems to think this accounts for voodoo.

One poll, one month before the election, isn't the same as aggregated polling the eve of an election. Things can change, like the FBI director coming out and spanking you for being "extremely careless".

 

There were all kinds of polls showing Hillary winning in a landslide.

 

Oprah would have a better chance of winning. Bernie is the real deal, but he's also an endangered species for a reason, because LaLa Land has moved to Washington and the crowd demands their bread and circuses. Bernie needs to watch more Mel Brooks movies.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth

 

In his case, I'm afraid its impossible to teach an old dog new tricks.

 

Nah he needs to take an economics class

 

Henry Ford raised his worker's pay from a buck a day to five bucks, so they could afford to buy the cars they made, and his decision made the company's fortune. Believe it or not, without sharing the wealth there would be no economy.

 

Treating your employees well creates loyalty. Loyal employees create a strong company.

What point were you trying to make?

 

That ultimately the guns decide who owes who any money, but money always takes on a life of its own. Soon enough, the computers and robots will control all the money.
