I think they know but often use the technique of throwing any kind of misleading shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. While we laugh, hundreds or thousands of people nod along at this stuff and get further down the rabbit hole.

These types of link need to be collated somewhere - maybe in the OP of the Potus Bowl or a new Election Resources thread/wiki.
If someone told you right now that you could live with the current odds of Biden beating Trump, including all the post office fuckery, OR you could have Jeb! As president instead for the next 4 years guaranteed, which option would you choose? Iād snap-take Jeb!

Itās not like the electors and the DNC wouldnāt talk before casting their votesā¦ In these unlikely scenarios theyād figure their shit out. Itās not like thereās thousands of them you have to corral.
Right, the people that nod along are the ones Iām yelling at being too stupid to understand how a primary works.
Of course you would. You realise George W literally stole an election right? Something trump has yet to do. He also killed an order of magnitude more people than trump (thus far) and essentially created the fucked up āevengelicalā everything I do is morally good because Iām successful worldview that gave us trump. And he was the loser brother who wasnāt all that invested in the project. Psycho jeb the chosen son after being humiliated is your idea of stability?

I snap-take rolling the dice. Jebās still going to appoint Federalist Society judges, push to cut taxes, try to repeal Obamacare, and have a generally Republican view on the role and size of government.
All Republicans are bastards and a polite Republican is not some huge improvement over Donald Trump. It might be worse, just because they will be disciplined enough to sabotage their own agenda with overt racism.

The main difference is trump winning is the end of democracy. Jeb winning is obviously super bad but in 4 years or 8 years maybe we crush and pack the courts.
Itās a tough call honestly. With election fuckery trump ie probably the favorite.
We really canāt do an acronym for this.

Maybe not the right thread for this, but Iāve been thinking about comparing W and Trump. One way to compare them is to see what they actual did in their different circumstances. But another way to compare them is to try to figure out how they would have done āTrading Placesā style. Would Trump have handled 9/11 worse than W? Would W have handled COVID better than Trump?

Any Republican winning is the end of democracy. Republicans have slowly been killing democracy for decades now. Trump merely gave away the game. Put Jeb in and we may end up with a Supreme Court where the swing vote is Kavanaugh. Civil rights will still be under siege. Voting rights will still be under siege. Institutions such as the USPS will still be under siege.

Two city councilmembers (one of them elect) and two others (one of them the brother of a councilmember) have been charged with voter fraud by the NJ Atty General.
Jeb would have been a normal President doing normal things. He has a different personality than his brother. Much more thoughtful with a deeper conscience. Had he been elected, we would still be a respectable country instead of the POS weāve turned into. Just my opinion.
The only positive outcome is that it already has cause the pendulum to swing hard the other way, though at a cost even greater than imagined. Now we just have to fade the bullshit shenanigans with the vote. I am firmly convinced that true vote will be >5 points against him, but worried about the counted votes.
Then assuming power switches, the new congress must do well enough to take further advantage of weak R incumbents in the Senate in 22
