The Donald vs Big Tech

[astfgyl]

Anyone here want Biden to win because he is a good candidate for the US presidency?

Remember what happened here this year when most of us tried to get rid of Fine Gael to show them how unhappy we were with how they had been running things? It actually ended up worse than ever and my reckoning is that the protest vote is a dangerous thing.

That is no endorsement of Trump or lack of for Biden, but I find it hard to believe anyone wants to see Biden win over wanting to see Trump lose.

And Nazgûl, we had a lad on here who was even more popular than Nixer before he disappeared into the ether. I didn't mind him but he rubbed a good few up the wrong way.

That roundhouse kick in Bruxelles... 
Can't believe the reaction that got from all the fannies on here... 

[Nazgûl]

Ah shite what did I miss?

Re: the Biden question by astfgyl. As I alluded to in another message, if I was over there voting -- going on the two campaigns and characteristics of each candidate alone, Biden is at the very least pushing a message of unity for the country, vowing to represent everyone as best as possible whether they voted him or not. He's able to speak in a way that isn't totally inflammatory and with certain nuance. Rather than the black and white, blantant lying of Trump.

That's a super simplistic way to look at one aspect of it, but with the tiresome and worrying polarization going on in the cultural and political spectrum now, I know I'd rather have somebody in office who isn't actively making that worse..IF I was an American and voting somebody in.

[Nazgûl]

What I really want to know is where will the Biden Plaza service station be, and who'll be selling the burgers at it. Will Tipp get it again?

Out of curiosity, how come there's such a delay in these final states? It's almost like the yanks like the theatre of the final stretch and are deliberately dragging it out. And this is even aside from Trump on about recounts. It's like the build up to wrestlemania.

It's due to covid and the push to have the mail in ballots, which did make it easier for people to vote and they did, then officials have to scan them into machines and that's taking ages in some states to process them all. These states (i think PA) were blocked by GOP to process them before election day (Florida was allowed process them first which is why it looked blue until election day votes were counted and Trump nabbed it in the end). Overseas votes as well.

100% believe Trump would have won if covid didn't happen.

The idea that Biden is trying to unite everyone and be this nice guy president..laughable! After years of mud slinging from the democrat side, every type of dark art being employed by them to paint Trump as the next Adolf Hitler, they succeeded in crippling him and gettihg their boy in. Pure PR now at work, painting JB as some sort of nice old guy who wants to meet everyone in the middle. He comes to tbe Presidency with no real vision, the only vision was 'defeat Trump', so in a way that works in his favour. What do voters expect of him I wonder? Have they even thought that far ahead?  Trump came in all guns blazing, saying he had targets to hit and very definite things to change. He was polrising like Mourihno at Utd but he got shit done. I get the feeling JB is going to be a bit of an Ole Solskjaer figure. Brought in to calm things down and fill the gap, but are voters going to be happy with that in the long run?

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah, no way Biden unites anything. Anyone other than Trump, that is the message beneath all his confused, tiresome sound bytes. And people lap this shit up. Trump is a mouth, undeniably so, but I find it hard to believe that half the US and most of the world it seems has swallowed this shite. Trump Derangement Syndrome is as real as the air we are currently sucking down.

I'll miss the big lad.

[The Butcher]

True Biden is not inspiring with zero policy (overall a terrible candidate) but it was Trumps handling of the pandemic along with his idiotic loud mouth that lost him this race despite of his results. Long run for Biden will be retiring in 2022 at nearly 81 years old and leaving Harris to build up as the next candidate..which is a horrible idea I know but this is the democrats we are talking about. I would have preferred Andrew Yang myself if I had to pick but he gained zero traction with what he was saying.

[Pedrito]

We're facing into a masssive global economic crisis. I seriously don't see Biden lasting more than 4 years. Beating Trump is grand but reality is going to set in very quickly and at least Trump seemed like he knew what he was doing or talked a good fight. Some dithering oul lad trying to keep up with the Chinese, Putin, the economic ctastrophe..no chance.

I never thought I'd agree with Rose McGowan on anything but she makes a great point at the start of this video. Of course the responders afterwards take her up wrong and drivel.out the same, innane, manipulated group think without even realising it, but McGowan hits the nail on the head for me here as to what is happening and what has happened. I would say I miss the low cut skirts she used to wear back in the day....jaysissss

Ah now, you can't go on about the PR work by the liberal media whole spouting the propaganda of Biden being too old for the job that the conservative side were desperately pushing.

Y'all can skip straight to 3:11 too, since some blahblahblah head is talking before her as well.

Don't see Biden doing more than one term either, but in four years time we might have what resembles a "normal" race. That's about the "best" that can be hoped for at this stage.

When you look at one of the election maps you'll see all states are still counting. Say California are only at 77per cent but due to the trends I guess they can call them. These states are Trump ahead but trending Biden now or are too close to call so they have to keep counting till the end to make call.

I think!

Biden takes lead in pennsylvania. Tonight's trump presser should be even better!!

What's normal nowadays? We all seem to be harking back to some vision of these things always having being civil and honest. We want our politicians to lie to us with manners? Is that what we're saying? Is Trump an anomoly or is he the future? Again, the status quo, the old ways of spoofing your way into office have been upheld, but not because people want Biden there, be just about enough don't want Trump there.
