And if you're triggered about what I'm saying, stop for a second and realize that I'm your friend. I want you to live in a free country and be successful to be able to help your fellow human beings. You're right, screw left or right, it IS about the future of America. You and I want the same thing. But, if you support Trump, then you are actively going against the very thing you say you want. Because if he wins, our country will no longer be free or successful for most any of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny right, Left are supposedly the educated crowd, who have good jobs and are doing fine and Trump supporters are uneducated crowd, but it is people who do not have to face serious problems who are trying to defend people "below".

That's not hyperbolic, it's coming directly from him, not filtered through anyone elses agenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can't help himself and keep his mouth shut. Trump has a horrible character. It comes from the way he was raised as a kid. He had a cold, harsh father. Anyway, I don't vote based on people's characters. We're all flawed creatures. I vote based on policy. Trump is one of the worst presidents in terms of character, but he did lots of great things for America. Edited October 30, 2020 by The Don Me on the road less traveled.

Could you please list for me all the great accomplishments, actual policies that he has written into law, that has helped the American people, not just the rich.

From NBC News, a broadcast company that doesn't like Trump: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/here-s-full-list-donald-trump-s-executive-orders-n720796 It's only a small part of Trump's accomplishments. I don't want to persuade anyone here to vote for Trump. If you like Joe Biden, vote for him. Edited October 30, 2020 by The Don Me on the road less traveled.

Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) @The Don If your policy is to roll-back everything Obama and destroy institutions that keep check on capitalists, then yeah, Trump's a prolific president. I wouldn't call that creating laws. It doesn't make much sense responding to you, because what you have said on the previous page is pure nonsense. Conservative Christians not imposing their will on others? Just give them four more years and with domination in the Supreme Court, they will roll-back abortion rights and declare anything related to the LGBT+ unconstitutional, for example adoption by the same-sex marriage. They do that all over the world, they will do that in the USA once they get enough power. Edited October 30, 2020 by Girzo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2020 @Girzo It’s about the left imposing their will by controlling capitalism, give abortion LGBT rights, & raise taxes for the Biden Green deal. On the other hand the right imposing their will by protecting capitalists, stopping most abortions LGBT rights, & lower taxes some more. Will be interesting to see how it plays out on the states level over the next years to make the right choice even more obvious for all of us. Americans could also look at other more developed countries, they tend not to like that or even admitting not to be the best in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 30, 2020 Congratulations to Texas for passing the entirety of its 2016 vote total today with more than 9 Million votes already in, with 1 more day of in-person voting left today and 5 more days of mail-in-ballots receiving and drop offs. 2016 was a record Texas turnout. Surpassing that turnout in 2020 with five voting days left (including election day), means Texas will obliterate the previous record. It's unknown which candidate the high turnout will benefit. Yet if the GOP can no longer take Texas for granted and it becomes a competitive swing state in presidential elections - the current GOP would not be a viable party. It would be like California or New York becoming a swing state for Democrats. Most impressive has been the turnout in Harris County, a democrat-leaning county which includes Houston. As part of voter suppression, the Republican governor only allowed one drop off ballot box in Harris County - an geographic area larger than the state of Rhode Island and home to 5 million people. The Harris county clerk (a democrat) responded creativity: he set up over 100 polling locations. Many of these were drive-through stations and were open 24hrs on Thursdays. This had the added benefit of allowing social distancing during the covid pandemic. And where did he place the one drop off box the county was allowed? In NRG Park, Houston's largest sports stadium, home to the Houston Texans football team, an enticing way for county residents to see the inside of a ball park and maybe meet and greet some sports celebrities.

Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Texas gop was trying to get 100k votes thrown out in Harrison county. Not sure where it stands. GOP is not for democracy but apartheid and unequal voting rights. Texas is going to become a safe blue state like Colorado in the next 10 years. The time for the current GOP is coming to an end. These are last ditch efforts of a dying party built on devilry and ethnic preferences. Edited October 30, 2020 by Lyubov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 30, 2020 @Leo Gura I almost agree with your prediction #1. Except for: MI: I think there is a much higher "shy Trump" vote in Michigan, than you might think. PA: I think the riots in Philadelphia will drive more voters in Western Pennsylvania to vote to reelect President Trump. https://www.270towin.com/maps/Wpglx So it'll be 243 Biden, 295 Trump, but Biden winning popular vote because of Florida.
