2020 Election

Man you'll just have to be more specific. Unless you mean this as a personal jab.

 

I'm talking about your synopsis.

 

Nah, Donald Duck went for the Neo-Nazis because he understands professional wrestling smack talk and The BIG LIE! Its about all he's actually capable of comprehending. He walked all over a bunch of idiots, because he's an even bigger idiot with a fat wallet and the scruples of a used car salesman.

 

Still too vague, is there a particular element you have in mind?

 

Yea, I admit I always forget the Nazi angle.

 

well if the whole Biden corruption in Ukraine was meant as bait for the media, by and large they haven't taken it. I am reluctant (somewhat) to even bring it up, but I guess that angle was fabricated. The Ukrainians seem to feel as well that Biden is innocent of any wrongdoing.

I think though that it may rear its ugly head in the next debates. You would hope that most of the candidates would understand not to go there, that it doesn't serve the narrative of the party at large, all of that... but they stepped in it last time and tried to say that Biden didn't know his own positions on healthcare, or rather that he'd forgotten something he said minutes before. I only saw the fallout after the fact, but it was motivated by some evil force! lol I don't think it was productive. But they are running against each other.

At some point I think Biden becomes the frontrunner again. The fascination with Elizabeth Warren is just that, fascinating actually. I find her interesting, but unfortunately I find her equally unlikely to win the primary. If she does, I hope that she wins the presidency. Most of all, I hope that Donald Trump doesn't helm the presidency for another 4 year term.

 

When are they not? The republicans play a long game in safe mode while democrats get in everyone's face with garlic breath.

 

Its professional wrestling all the way baby, and if you wish to comprehend a lynch mob, you must know your professional wrestling. They scream louder or quietly deny everything, because they assume everything everyone says is a lie. The republican party has lied to themselves and everyone else for so long the entire white population is imploding.

 

I mean that republicans play a protracted game while democrats are far more direct.

As for making Trump look bad, I don't see where he needs any help, but that's indeed what democrats are doing. Instead of going after real, vital shit, they are easily distracted by what seems to be low hanging fruit and later turns into a quagmire. Like that whole Mueller nonsense.

I think the play on Ukraine is pretty good actually. Certainly not the typical democrat knee jerk (with the exception of Pelosi's latest declaration on impeachment). It's obvious democrats are waning on Biden (though I still think he's the only viable candidate in the pack). So driving every possible angle toward Trump being the cause of Hunter's exposure is money in the bank for someone like Warren.

 

Donald Duck is a wannabe kinder-gentler used car salesman version of Adolf Hitler, and the democrats have been pouring on the pressure from day one knowing he cracks easily under pressure. They don't want him to make a fool of himself anymore, they want him to embarrass the hell out of anyone who even thought about voting for the asshole. They never want to see his like again and would love for the republican party to implode completely.

Republicans do not comprehend no, unless you punish them. Japanese business is similar, just more polite and will back off immediately.

 

Damn, I thought I'd get you on the "free" thing again.

 

The Ukraine thing is not about Biden. It's about Putin. You see, by withholding funds from Ukraine, Putin could march right in and take over the country. Trump, because he "doesn't like war" would stand by, and do nothing. Trump's excuse for not defending Ukraine, "well Zeletsky didn't want to help me out"

 

That could be just one state where polling was done; I forget which state it was that has Warren in the lead. Is it more than one? I don't recall actually. But I think Biden is the safe bet.

This is exactly why they will impeach him, not in defense of democracy, but in order to defend the impression the country has not devolved into civil war yet. Congress serves no purpose whatsoever if they can't at least pretend our votes still matter. Smaller government and lower taxes means cutting out the middle man, or all of congress. At this point, its debatable whether a crooked congress is better than a tin dictator.

 

I'm impressed that you have this much faith in Congress.

I feel like my vote matters. It will be counted. It counts to elect someone, but what they do is entirely up to them. I'm not represented adequately in office, and I know that, like most Americans. It's a sad fact, but the politicians don't seem to care; and not enough to impeach.

The media seems to be reaching a fever pitch though. I watched three videos about the scandal and the media are clear headed while the politicians are trying to bail water.

 

How you feel is not an issue, when over half the population insists their own government lie to them, Fox News is legally entertainment, and all the evidence for the last 30 years says your vote no longer matters. I'm sure I can go to Vegas and get plenty of people to insist they have a feeling they are going to win. Hell, I can go to 7-11 and find people buying lottery tickets, who will insist they have keep playing in order to win.

 

but the votes are still counted. it's just a matter of what the person does once they're in office.
