    3rd parties dont stand a chance here unless we get rid of the electoral college. And I dont have hope that will ever happen either

    Did you watch his address to the nation?

    When it comes to play people against each other, dude is a genius

    Short of breath the whole time, sounded like he was coming down with something himself

    There seem to be lots of other exceptions. It seemed clear at the time: "We will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days." Then, as the announcement caused airport chaos and negative stock market reactions, negatively, he and his aides began walking it back. Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli tweeted:"This does not apply to American citizens or legal permanent residents or their families." And it doesn't apply to cargo. And it doesn't apply to the U.K. Nothing like clear, coherent messaging!

    Yes, that's what we need in office during a time of crisis. Somebody who's a genius at playing people against each other!
    Considering he's been directly exposed to the virus on more than one occasion, that wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility.

    Depression you mean.

    This will probably set off the worlds debt bomb

    Some countries are going to have to bail out every industry, slash taxes, thus go even further into debt

    Yeserrie. That makes as much sense as anything. He might demolish Biden in the debate. Then he'll be riding high (until November)! Right?

    The DNC is another boogeyman used by folks who can't win elections to explain their difficulties. It functions much like the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group, the Rothschilds, and the Elders of Zion (who were really behind it all) as a all-purpose explanation of events by people who want to seem "in the know" but don't really know what they're talking about. Until somebody can produce evidence that the DNC , as opposed to Jim Clyburn and African-American voters in South Carolina, was actually and decisively involved in Biden's rise (no doubt the Russians will come up with some at an opportune time), I'll suspend judgment and go with the Scotch verdict: not proven. I see no evidence that the DNC was doing anything before the South Carolina primary to help Biden, and seemed ready to abandon him as road kill. Not that I give a shit about the DNC or the Democrat Party for that matter. Re-election of Trump would be a disaster, and I think Bernie: ("The People's Real Secret Choice, Despite Polls and Elections") is more likely to bring that about than Biden.

    Why is it by the way that I get AOC's opinion on everything popping up in Google's suggestions all the time.....whereas the guy that looks like he will get the Dem nomination, Biden... well does he ever get specific about anything?


    Got this link in my feed today, an almost pro AOC article on Fox News, yes Fox

    AOC urges universal income, ‘Medicare-for-all’ as part of coronavirus response


    Show me an article that gets as specific as that on Biden's policies

    He probably should self-quarantine though. His Twitter game would be fierce being locked up in the White House.

    First, you sound hopeless. Y'all just need to figure out how to change that election process. The 2 parties that benefit from the current changes won't ever strive for that (please correct me if I assume wrong). So seems to me the progressive voters should unite and figure out an approach to change things. If a majority of left wing voters votes on another party then what is now (retardedly) thought of as the only option, then the democrat party has little choice to listen to that. Or the system has to adapt (as you can't ignore a third party that got more votes than the Democrat party). Of course this is hypothetical, but it seems worth the try. I don't see how else you guys break through this current situation (not talking about Trump's presidency, that's merely a symptom/consequence of this political status quo)..

    I'm not trying to make the Orange Man look bad. He does that naturally. He's been telling people anyone can get tested now, and his medical experts at the CDC are saying "no way". What are we to believe?
    That's the problem. She's specific, and the specifics worry me. The devil is in the details.
    That's the breaks.

    It's as simple as that? If the majority of left-wing voters votes on another party, that party is sure to lose, since there aren't enough of them. Problem is, there still seem to be enough people who think Trump is the savior of the country, and another bunch who think we can simply overhaul the system root and branch in the next election cycle with multiple major redistributive programs that "the rich" will pay for with only a whimper. If they persist in those delusions, they'll have to learn the hard way. Apocalypse, here we come!
