Take their guns away and they would all start crying and never leave the house again. I think it is more apt than we realise. The silly words removed.

tonyh29 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is it worth staying up, so I can do a Goldsmith and chant "Out , Out ,Out" at the TV ..or will it be weeks whilst we wait for US postal workers to stop shooting people and delver the mail before we get the result ?

KenjiOgiwara Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I really don't think it matters what Trump does or doesn't do at this point. He can play gay songs, punch someone, spit on children. Those who support him now after the last 4 years will support him no matter what. I must admit I know very little about US politics. It's confusing methinks. BUT what I don't get is why there isn't a growing third party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has ruined the GOP and Trump will be in the shadows for years and years. 3 parties, I don't know mate, look at the song and dance they make from a simple binary choice, are you suggesting they offer the people of the US three choices It won't end well, confusion would be like covid and infect them all. Picking the mascot animal seems important to it all though. Platypus ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to defend the wannabe Nazis with their patio heaters but there is definitely something to be said about the ‘culture wars’ stuff being a very effective distraction from the real politicking that goes on behind the scenes while we’re all arguing amongst ourselves over the latest outrage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if that was the point, and it had been made in those words, people would not be reacting with as much outrage. There might even be some merit in it, though I also think that at the end of the day you have to police the boundaries of the debate sufficiently that actual nazis are the wrong side of it, even at the expense of other issues going uncovered for a few days. However, the post goes rhetorically far beyond that point. It needs to be said that those same protesters 'obeying the laws of their land' participated in a violent fracas the following day, and a woman was driven over at high speed and killed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet. Reading the article, it's basically a Trafalgar Group poll that RealClearPolitics are including in their aggregate. And Trafalgar have had Trump winning pretty much everything since March. So he might still win them, and the election - but it's nothing new today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
