    The weirdest thing to me is it seems like either one could win easily if they wanted to. Biden could come out and say he'll institute universal health care or forgive all student debt or something, and Trump could just announce the week of the election that he's going to give everyone another direct payment of like $2000. But neither of them is doing anything like that. You know, I think this whole idea of free market competition might be a bit flawed.

      Lol this is the biggest evidence that they represent the same people. It doesn't matter which one of them wins to anyone that matters to them.

      Biden could come out and say he’ll institute universal health care or forgive all student debt or something,

      versus

      Trump could just announce the week of the election that he’s going to give everyone another direct payment of like $2000

      DipperWOWTHISISWORTHLESS.gif at Trumps option.

      Thing is: We both know most Americans are stupid and would take the $2000 and run.

      Well, that, and that Biden will NEVER implement Universal Healthcare or forgive Student debt.

      So both options are bad.

      If you have only a slight idea of how vipery the politicians of my country are, you would understand my astonishment of how the fuck you have such politically-inept politicians. I'm not talking about good leaders for their people, I'm talking about grabing power and playing the politics game smartly

    Things can turn on a dime, that's why I think anyone making their final, final bets before, like, the week of the election is foolish imo.

    That said, I do think Trump's gonna win, that's what I've thought ever since it became pretty clear that Joe was gonna be the nominee, but I haven't written him, or the possibility that he could change my mind on that matter, off. Alot can still happen in 2 and a half months...

        My sister in-law's boyfriend was wearing a Trump hat while talking about how his entire family had contracted coronavirus. His son had to be hospitalized - he almost died - and he still wore that hat with pride. If this were 2016 that would have been truly astonishing to me.

        Okay, this is the most convincing prediction I've seen so far on this site. There's just one problem.

        White liberals are also fucking rabid, except they stand for nothing and do not care about Joe Biden. The only thing they want is Trump gone. I bet you they'll all be voting.

    Why do you think I'm posting all this off the grid commune planning stuff?

    We need a fortified compound for willing and able chapos to migrate to.

    Like seriously, we're on the precipice right now and when the US Empire unravels it's going to be fucking fast and violent and it's time to be honest with ourselves and ask what we are prepared to do in that event.

    Edit: On rereading I see that sounds ablist but what I'm saying is that those with the means need to prepare to aid as many of those without as possible. I've been rewatching some old doomerposting from 2017-2019 and the terrifying realization I have had is that it's so so so much worse than even the most blackpilled shit from the last few years.

            Didn't libs proclaim him the winner? I agree that it was an awful performance, but it'd be hard for him to completely fuck up a debate with a self-proclaimed spcialist because of how much spin is on his side.

              They literally said, "well he's standing AND talking. So bc he didn't completely fail, he wins"

              It was extremely pathetic.

    Coordinated with a CNN poll showing a narrowing lead for Biden. Come the fuck on folks, we've seen this play before. I'm going to go ride my bike now...

      DNC means both Democratic National Convention and Democratic National Committee. Op, understandably imo, got the two a little conflated and said DNC convention.

          While we're at it, please join me in my years-long war with people who put the apostrophe at the end of a decade's name like it were a possessive. It's a contraction, it goes at the start.

          Goddamn it, you have '90s nostalgia because we can infer that you're not talking about the 1790s. You don't have 90's nostalgia because your nostalgia doesn't belong to the number 90.
