Give the man what he wants

I did know about Iraq's formal vote for us to leave the region. I wish Trump's administration would give 'em what they want. But, I fear that regardless of if Trump or Biden wins, we're still going to maintain a presence there. You could very well be right about getting Iran to the negotiating table at this point, after Soleimani's assassination. I know the Revolutionary Guard are filled with hardliners and they will do almost anything to avoid the appearance of weakness or appeasement. We'd probably have to completely crush them economically to the point where the regime would lose serious legitimacy with the Iranian public before they would be willing to negotiate. It certainly would've been easier before the killing of Soleimani. |

Civil war! Wooo!

He's been saying that since 2016.
The reality is people will lose their **** regardless of who wins. |

All Biden has to do is avoid any race-related gaffes and he's good.

You guys underestimate how rigged the process has become.

I thought I heard/read that Biden's lead has diminished in newer polls. With or without election rigging I still wouldn't count Trump out. I wouldn't bet on him but it's not that hard to imagine him winning.

I, unlike you, would bet on Trump. In fact, I'll be surprised if he doesn't win. |
Quote:
It seems like when he gets on the defensive he's most prone to start melting down like an elderly robot with a malfunctioning chip. He held his own in the last debate against Bernie but that's cause Bernie is a pussy who won't go for blood and a nerd who sticks to policy. Trump is a different animal. Any time Biden says "come on man" you know he's in trouble. That's like the cry of a wounded antelope. |

If I had any real confidence in anyone's prediction I probably would put money on it tbh. All I have is guesses and gut instinct.

Trump will know all of Biden's tells in the debate - he'll push him just enough to get Biden to start chasing his tail and to reveal how mean-spirited Biden can actually be. And when Biden devolves to Trump's level, Trump has won. Trump, for all his faults, can keep his composure in confrontational situations. When Trump smells blood, he'll attack. Biden will try to attack but he will stumble, bumble and it should result in some hilarious facial expressions from Trump |

He was a good campaigner and I give him credit for what he accomplished but he definitely uses the kid gloves during debates with other Democrats. You can say that's irrelevant to his ultimate results but my only point is that that's why Biden did alright in that debate.
To me it makes him look like a bitch though the way the Democrats give him zero respect and yet count on his continued loyalty. I get you gotta play the game but he doesn't even really do that part well. Like in SC he never even tried to reach out to Clyburn etc. His entire strategy was reliant on an increased youth turn out which is a hell of a losing bet in most cases. |

I'm not saying he would've gotten it but to not even try doesn't make sense. He plays the game when it comes to falling in line behind the nominee and party after they finish smearing him but not when it comes to coalition building.
Like I said I respect what he accomplished in terms of shifting the conversation but he also has his weaknesses. Not being willing to draw blood being the obvious one this conversation started with. For all his grandstanding about refusing to address Clinton's scandals that didn't make them any less prominent a talking point for Trump during the general election. I don't see the pragmatic benefit of the kids gloves approach other than temporarily sheilding your opponent from scrutiny they will later face from the GOP. Meanwhile they don't extend the same courtesy. |
I really wouldn’t care how black boomers vote if their oppression wasn’t tied to my own.

I would care about how young people vote if they actually voted.

Democrats are ****ting on Bernie like, "We might have a lame candidate but at least we don't have a passionate following."

That said, his closing speech at the DNC was solid. You shouldn't be impressed by it necessarily, but he spoke publically and wasn't the person Trump made him out to be. Which only serves to hurt Trump going into the RNC. Suspicion in the center is mounting that he's probably not truthful. *"But it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?" |

A 400 pound bed would be unnecessarily heavy, I'm with Donnie on this one.
Granted, my expectations were low, but I liked the Biden speech. |
Quote:
Also, compared to the 2016 DNC, this one might as well have been the Communist Party. |
Yeah picking Kamala "Centrist Cop" Harris really communicates Biden's interest in going to the left rather than going even further right to appeal to moderate Republicans. Totally does.
