The 2020 Election: Delaying the Inevitable

Has GA announced when they expect to get the last 250k votes counted?

I hear you. Related to one of my other posts - Republicans use fear of socialism to get people to object to new social programs. The counter argument needs to be to use anger to motivate people to demand change. This a foundational flaw in Dem messaging. The most inspiring progressive narrative is anger at the rich. Call it class warfare if you want but it works. How many fucking BMWs do bankers need before single moms can have a living wage?

What part is she wrong about exactly? Talking to these people on their level seems to be a significant issue for the left. That is, theyā€™re utterly incapable of lowering themselves to these peopleā€™s level. Sometimes you need to talk to a child like a child, after all.

Yup and thatā€™s been the prevailing wisdom in this community for at least three years.

Grunching, but similarly on Florida, I donā€™t see how the same state that voted overwhelmingly to let felons vote (against R opposition), could also vote so heavily for Trump.

This would cost us votes in CA from people who drive BMWā€™s and win us votes in KS. Itā€™s the obvious direction we should be going.

We are doing way too well with people who care about personal pronouns while not even contesting like 40 of the Senate seats. This is political malpractice and it needs to stop.

Iā€™m not saying we stop caring about social issues, but they need to not even be part of the pitch. The pitch is about what weā€™re going to do for normal people full stop. Explained simply and clearly. Repeat ad nauseum. If they try to ask you a question about anything else you donā€™t answer that question and talk about your message instead. If thereā€™s a single fucking thing we could learn from the Trump era itā€™s that answering the mediaā€™s pretty terrible questions is a leak. They donā€™t control the narrative, we control the narrativeā€¦ but only if we refuse to talk about anything else and just look at the reporter like theyā€™re stupid when they try to change the subject.

Seriously if you ask a ton of questions about divisive shit to one of our people you should lose access as a reporter. Weā€™re feeding the other side sound bites at this point at a ridiculous pace.

Half past a monkeyā€™s ass, quarter to his balls.

Here in Taiwan, Iā€™ve met plenty of Taiwanese who want Trump to win and there is even a stronger pro-Trump sentiment in Hong Kong.

This is definitely largely a result of limited understandings of US politics beyond Trump being ā€œanti-PRCā€. Itā€™s understandable but imo highly naive.

I bring up to people that Beijing hasnā€™t hesitated one moment wrt their HK agenda because they fear Trump, and the threats and military activities related to Taiwan this year are unprecedented.

The trade war is cited, but what has that accomplished? More importantly, what is it even attempting to accomplish?

I think there are specific targets where trade war-ish policies may be rational (ensuring stronger IP protections, for example) but the Trump administrationā€™s strategy vis a vis China is non-sense. Their objective, as far as I can tell, is to magically turn the clock back on China and have them somehow not be a major player. Thats ridiculous, pointless, and just fucking stupid.

FUCK YOU CNN.

asking when will a republican come out and say votes should be counted.

FUCK YOU.

MI seems like it could be called as well.

Youā€™d be surprised how many of those felons turned around and voted for Trump!

Who makes fun of her on here?

My argument is that Dem voters or potential voters are not smarter or morally superior to Republicans. Their biases just happened to land them on the right side. We shouldnā€™t have campaigns based on the presumption that Democrats are better people.
