Notice that report is perceived possible threats rather than actual documented violence over the last 4-5 years. The pendulum is far swung to the left in documented violence.
When we see the proud boys and KKK burning down cities and shooting innocent people on the daily news, we can talk.

I don't see any of the reds that fall to Biden but Michigan and Arizona are blues that can go to Trump.

Get your popcorn ready, because Trump is going to be ahead on election night and then all the usual suspects will take to the streets to burn shit down....despite the fact Biden might end-up winning days/weeks later after the mail in ballots are counted.
posted by kizer permanenteWell PA is a lot like midwestern states... any rural place will have tons of Red voters. but luckily for Democrats, cornfields can’t vote.
Yea I get it but I’ve been going there for a long time and it wasn’t like this before to this extent. But I bet Armstrong county was a blowout for trump which is where I was

But they do feed a lot of people.

Arizona can and probably will go red but PA and FL both can and PA probably will go blue

If they are going to commit mail in ballot fraud in a commissioners race, imagine what they'll do in a US presidential race.
Has there ever been an election where someone campaigned less than Biden? I’m not even saying it’s a bad thing, probably a good strategy, but still seems strange compared to what we’ve seen in the recent past.

If you were his advisor, would you trot him out into open-ended commentary and discussion? He's not up to that is nd of thing at all. This was the year to have someone like that too.

Kamala isn't out there, either (probably also a good thing).
I don't think it's a good strategy simply to bank on people voting for "not Trump". Didn't work for Hillary, and I'm not sure it's enough to drive the turnout you need.
Presidential elections are so tightly contested that if even 2% of your base stays home, you lose. And generally to get that 2% to turnout, you need to give them a better reason than just "not Trump".

We'll see. One good debate performance will end all that talk. And that may be all he needs. But the polls are tightening every day, while Trump's approval/popularity continues to creep up [no pun intended] every day. 40 days out and things don't appear to be trending in a positive direction for Biden, at all.

I think the big mistake that the Republicans are making right now is painting Biden as a dementia riddled doddering old man. They are setting the bar so low for him that if he doesn't just sit and drool during the debate, the media will paint it as a win.

He doesn't need to convince the media and never has - they have been in the tank for him and covering for him since he emerged as the nominee.
What he needs is to convince people on the fence because they question his mental fitness. I think those people have their own "bar" for him.
Regardless of how he does, I'm sure the Trump campaign will release ads attacking his mental fitness. Sort of a greatest hits of Biden brain farts. Might save those until the last minute so the Biden campaign can't respond with their video highlighting Trump's intellectual prowess.
The lack of election year activity by Biden is unreal. The debate will surely end up hurting him because he will have at least 1 moment where he loses it, says something stupid or misspeaks really bad. Trump wont do that.

He does that nearly every time he tries to communicate.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Yeah, I agree the statement did not matter, but to dismiss it as fake is just so fucking cynical.
It would be a better look for her if it was fake, TBH. Assuming she actually said it, it's a pretty dumb take for someone with such a keen and admired legal mind.
the only reason why Biden is debating tonight is because there is no crowd. His handlers wouldnt let him if there were 1,000 people there

You gotta make more of an effort. Say something like "if there was a crowd, he wouldn't be able to hear the answers fed thru his ear piece".
So, Biden got nominated for the... *squints*.... Nobel Peace Prize?
