US Election

Aww it turns out this was a fake, shame

 

No comment on the latest insanity because I'd have had to have seen it to comment (at the time). I was responding directly to you calling me out for no reason and putting me as leader of some pack when you've got zero evidence to be making unfair claims like that.

I make a fair effort to offer an opinion that differs to some of the claims made on here, not to support him. But at the same time in this thread alone I've repeated that Biden will win, called Trump 'emotionally unhinged', and not once supported any of his crazy antics which I've repeatedly joined in with criticising. I've said there's stories out there, and I've called them stories not facts, that if true could lead to legal proceedings, but also that they're unlikely to change the result of Biden winning the election because they're not strong enough. I haven't seen you offer anywhere near the same level of respect in discussions to be honest.

Just because I don't completely follow your narrative you appear to want to label me with something negative and point score. I mean someone called me a 'Trump Chump' earlier, which at that point in an adult conversation you're adding nothing at all. You might completely disagree with me and what I respond with, no issue there, but I'd like to think I articulate my responses in a sound tone with sound enough knowledge on what I'm talking about, with respect for who I'm speaking to.

Of all the predictions on this election on the BBS I'm probably the one who got closest to being right. Because I kept saying stop taking the bias snippets from the mainstream media and step out of the Trump hate bubble and look at what's going on for the people of the US to vote on. Fracking, Fossil Fuels, Defund the Police, National Lockdown, Stimulus, Immigration, Socialism, Rioting and ANTIFA, Jobs, Media, etc.

Overall though it's been a good election for the US in general. Record voting numbers for both candidates, the most diverse Republican senate in history with more women than ever before, and the potential voting fraud claims, whilst not changing the election result, might force a tightening up of the procedures and systems and instil a 'one country approach' to it all in four years time. There's also a possibility, that despite it looking like the gap between right and left has been growing over recent years, that there's going to be a move closer to the centre which will only help with calming things down.

 

Nancy Pelosi isn't even going to retain being Speaker of the House by the looks of things. A lot of blame falling at her feet for the Democrat results.

If this scenario played out it would be the biggest rise and fall in politics I've seen over there in my lifetime.

 

I love how those are the two questions you ask me based off everything I just typed out. You couldn't make it up.

A little bit like the thread I got involved with the other day defending the admin team, I don't win here, but to keep you happy and off my back I think his press conference was that of someone on the verge of defeat, who isn't a politician, who couldn't care less about 'being Presidential', and was way too much too soon. Last chance saloon territory throwing everything at the wall hoping something would stick when all it will achieve is making any genuine claims of voter fraud less credible. But I've kind of covered that with the emotionally unhinged comments I made earlier around something similar so you didn't need to ask.

You would have to say he's racist based on everything in the media and some of the crass and misguided comments he's made. But if you've consumed more than one media there are credible arguments out there that offer a different view. He just grew the black male vote as well to the highest in Republican history. That obviously doesn't mean he isn't racist, but it's an interesting stat that would hint that the feeling in the US isn't as clear cut.

 

I hadn't previously avoided them. You just said something like 'and no comment on the latest press conference'. To which I replied saying I would have had to have seen it to comment on it. I'm an hour ahead at the moment so was close to 1am when that was all happening. So again, you're being a bit unfair suggesting that. As soon as you asked me you got an answer.

 

Genuinely didn’t see that post. I was getting about 15 notifications every ten minutes at that point.

But my response you’ve just replied to was specifically talking about the press conference. I had no idea what you meant with the racist question but I answered it for you anyway.
