Trump has no chance. Even when this is over there will be ramifications people are not prepared for. The guy even more senile than him will easily win IMO.

People said he had no chance to win in 2016. I've seen this play before on a smaller stage here in Maine in 2014. I think there's a fair to good chance we get four more years of Agent Orange.

Most people don't want to change course during uncertain times. I think Trump might somehow be able to successfully blame it on the Democrats.

I hope I'm wrong about this like I was wrong about this year's Warriors.

Obama was charismatic and inspired hope. Al Gore and John Kerry weren't those things. I think Joe is the same. Trump will keep calling Joe sleepy and he'll win.

I'm hopeful the 18-21 year olds will generally vote against the incumbent in November. There's always going to be the "mah daddy voted for...so I'm voting for..." crowd, but it's probably the only glimmer of hope that I have.

Trumps only chance is some type of miracle treatment that doctors somehow find in the next few months that knocks out Covid19. Outside of that I think Trump has had his hurricane Katrina moment.

His approval rating is still hovering around 50% and he's facing someone who can barely tie their own shoes let alone be a credible candidate. You think Democrats would've learned from the last time about assuming Trump would lose.

Yeah, I don't know why, when we had most diverse field of candidates ever, that the solution to beat Trump ended up being an older, even more senile white guy.

(I mean I know the reason is racism and/or misogyny but besides that...)

I really feel you guys are under-selling how incompetent Trump and his team are.

This isn't going away entirely for a long time. The best way to fight it (while still maintaining an economy and way of life) is to mitigate to bring the numbers way way down.

Then when you open stuff back up you have insane levels of testing that can be completed within minutes (the new tests already do this). You rigorously test, break out the antibody tests to see exactly how many people have had it and our immune, and whenever a small outbreak pops up you quarantine everyone who came in contact with them immediately.

All of the above will take insane levels of competence and coordination. Trump and his team are going to fuck all of it up, and once they re-open we will have another massive outbreak that makes him look horrible and kills tons more.

I know they're dangerously incompetent. Most people know they're incompetent. I'm just saying it doesn't matter. Trump is gonna spin and whip his base into a frenzy and the Democratic Party is gonna eat itself from within.

This is the earliest a Democratic primary has ended since 2004.

Biggest field ever and everyone pitches their tent behind a confused old man who just wants to eat vanilla ice cream cones and watch Leave It To Beaver and wonders why the Phillies aren't playing.

The Democrats are FUCKED! Our only hope is the Republicans are more fucked. God, we need ranked choice voting and more than two parties like yesterday.

Imagine all of the lame Grumpy Old Men jokes if we get a Biden-BernDog ticket. Bah gawd.

I still think Stacey Abrams should be the Veep ticket but maybe Biden can have Bernard in the cabinet since he's not a super powerful Senator and Vermont's not a swing state.

The problem is that Biden is still in favor of the neoliberal ideologies that keep fucking us over, to say nothing of his clear cognitive issues or allegations of sexual misconduct. Trump is going to eat him alive on his voting record alone.

Another down-ballot election it is, then.

What does everybody think will happen if Trump wins in another electoral college victory but popular vote loss but loses the House and/or Senate? I feel like that possibility is in play for sure. Everyone assumes that Dems or Republicans sweep the election but I don't see that as a foregone conclusion at all.

I'm not even sure what Trump working with a Democratic Congress looks like. I'm p. sure I can imagine what Biden working with a Republican Congress would like and that's partly why we've got Trump!

As much as I love this post on the surface, it still is very confusing because i don't know if you were referring to YNA who said it was just an endorsement, or your own post which would make more sense because you are like me and we are both like barry horowitz in that we love a good self back-pat.

I refuse to google the news i'm gonna get my update from bz and/or this thread

I think this is actually impossible considering which Senate seats are up for election. This is exceedingly likely to be a winner take all election.

Man, if the Democrats blow all three, we are fucked.

The Census is also this year, which would allow state level Republicans to gerrymander everything for ten years should they win. There would be many more states that turned into Wisconsin and North Carolina if this happened.

I know every presidential election in our lifetime has been the most important presidential election of our lifetime....but this is the most important presidential election of our lifetime.


And I'm gonna have to vote for that hair sniffing, vanilla ice cream cone eating Uncle Joe. :-\

Me changing my name jinxed all of the candidates I supported. First my bro Yang then sensible John Delaney then finally Bernard. To use my powers for good, I'm gonna have to use them for evil. MAGA!
