Biden's own running mate was accusing him of being a racist just a couple of months ago.
Unless people say the exact woke talking points they're racist apparently. The term racist has become meaningless. Just another way to silence criticism of stupid political ideas.

Don't like welfare? Racist. Don't like open borders? Racist. Want to protect historical monuments? Racist. Like books written more than 30 years ago? Racist and misogynist too.

Trump declaring a win when he was behind and with millions of votes to be counted and then saying that the election is a sham - honestly I thought shit like that only happens in the Philippines, Turkey or wherever Borat is from. Extraordinary.
He was ahead in the swing states where the counting has stopped.

I think he is clearly not racist. Anyone claiming he is is engaging in some serious stretches of logic. I don't think he's misogynist either but he is a chauvinist, and to some they're the same thing.

We can agree to disagree about whether he is racist or not. You may be right about misogynist and chauvinist, regardless he is a deplorable human being imo.

Yeah. I've never been greatly interested in politics but it seems obvious to me that this time there is massive dishonesty in favour of the Left. And I don't think the people pushing that actually give a f**k about sides of politics.

Definite shitbag but probably fun on the piss. That's gotta be worth something.

Oh don't get me wrong, his is ridiculously entertaining drunk or not. Imagine having the confidence in yourself to behave like him? It is f**king incredible to watch him believe the shit he sprouts and the blatant lies he spins.......imagine not giving a f**k about what anyone says?

For thousands of years humanity followed people like this. Now we are domesticated.

It's tightening for several reasons, larger urban centres that lean democrat are slower to get their counts in than smaller regional centres that lean GOP, and as it turns out mail ins are favouring Biden as predicted in the swing states that mater, and these are often counted last as per individual state legislation.

For example , PA, which has been mooted as being the tipping point state still has about 1.7 million mail ins to count, and Trump leads by around 700k votes

But the breakdown in party affiliation of those mail ins is 65.5% to Biden

https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/PA.html

That leaves Biden about 10k odd votes short.

But there's also still a shit ton of votes to count in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware counties, which have large populations and lean heavily Democrat.

There's no dishonesty, just a bunch of merkins with no idea following a moron's lead.

Well there is dishonesty .... they illegally arranged votes .... but that probably goes both ways

How did they illegally arrange votes?
They go to people to "help them vote" and encourage them to cast their vote a certain way ... give gifts and all ... which is explicitly illegal ... but as i said, i'm sure it happens both ways

Gifts you say?

Really?

Otherwise, "helping people vote" is not illegal, you may even have seen volunteers handing out how to vote cards at our elections.

Which is also encouraging you to vote a certain way.

It's very nefarious.

choose to believe this or not .... a "vote chaser" admitting to what they are doing and that it is illegal

https://www.projectveritas.com/news...es-voter-to-change-vote-from-cornyn-to-hegar/

I'm sure these people will have been labelled fake .... I dunno, maybe they are .... but I reckon its likely true - and as I said, I bet it happens both ways

Well I'm sure we can agree that this particular election is all valid and above board. Unless Trump wins.
Ive come to the conclusion that the USA is right up there with the dodgiest places in the world .... our western oriented media has just swayed us to think they are the cool kids over the years - and maybe they once were more wholesome

And i also think this election likely goes above and beyond the usual shit ... because of the total division in the place, largely fueled by the absolute hatred of trump - and im not saying that is right or wrong, but its huge and is firing up the Dems which in turn fires up the Republicans as they defend theirs.

anyway, i tend to think there is probably far more dodgy shit going on this time, both ways ... or maybe i am just taking notice of it for the first time?

I also think the media is more against trump, and more likely to show his and the republicans bad side, which i am saying is most definitely bad ... but i think the Dems are getting a bit of a hall pass (ie everything gets discredited) as they are the cool kids atm
