Official Biden vs. Trump 2020 General Election Thread (Biden WINS 306 Electoral College Votes)

[Inertia Creeps]

nikka please. Bernie wouldn’t have done shyt in the Midwest and all that stomping for Biden in FL still didn’t win the state for him. Y’all need to get over that shyt. The democratic constituency voted against him in two primaries now. Let that shyt go

Primary. Election. Results. Don't. Mean. Jack. shyt. when it comes to general election results. How old are you kids that still say this shyt??? I'm really not tryna sound condescending like some old boomer but... I cannot fathom how any of-age legal adult who's had any previous experience with the electoral process in this country could still have issues understanding this. Biden won the primary because his opponents literally dropped out on Obama's order and fell in line to endorse him the night before Super Tuesday coupled with Clyburn's endorsement. Did any of that mean a damn thing tonight when it came to South Carolina's general election?????? NO!!!!!!!!!! Blood red clear Republican victory, as South Carolina was in 2016, as it was in 2000, as it ALWAYS IS on general election night.

How have you motherfukkers not learned a damn thing from 2016, 2000, every damn election.... primary elections for nominees are NOT the same as presidential elections. Winning them means your party's ruling establishment and donor class favored and chose you to represent them in a general election. That's. IT. It don't mean shyt as far as if the NATION wants you to represent them. Have you ever seen a side by side of primary turnout and voters vs. general election turnout and voters???? They. Ain't. The. fukkin. Same. And until you younger voters, the party establishment and leadership, and the pollsters get that through y'alls heads... this is gonna keep on happening like clockwork....

The far left is hated by the vast majority of the country.

I mean I’ve voted Democrat all my life but I do think the concept of the ‘Liberal elite’ is a real thing, and it’s a small percent of people. And like you said they do alienate a lot of people.

The same ‘halfass democrats‘ that twitter rips apart for selling out and not being liberal enough are the same ones who can actually win elections.

Or maybe the progress of tonight so far just has me cynical.

He does support removing the federal ban on marijuana. As for law enforcement, I felt he took the right stance because if he went too far left on that issue he would have lost even more white voters.



Agreed. It felt like it didn't matter much because he was polling well, but political polls are useless in the Trump era I guess. Even if Biden wins I have to imagine Nate Silver and the like exit political polling for good.

Decriminalizing weed isn't the same as legalizing it. I still don't get why Dems are so gun-shy on this. That alone would get a lot of people to the polls. It's an easy thing to support that has 2/3 approval in the country. New states are legalizing it every election. The party just doesn't want to be forward thinking.

Defund the police should have never been a rally cry.

You and @cobra are right. The Dems fought culture ware battles in the past 4 years (and especially the last 2) in order to appeal to maybe a few thousand people on twitter that seem like a larger group than they are; these were things that gained them zero political capital and likely ran off some of their base.

He was probably the last Dem to capture enough of that "pro labor but somewhat socially conservative" voting block that gave the Dems the Midwest in the 90s, 00s, and Obama years.

What youre seeing now is a direct response to obama. Obama ran against sane republicans who acted like adults. The tea party and trump were the response to him. They couldnt contain their racism anymore and they needed to assert some sort of cultural dominance again. This is it


This election is just the foundation for adopting Hispanics into the club like Italians and Irish before them

 

[Starski]

Can this Mil. vote come in so I can try to sleep lol

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

And I see liberal white women trying to push this off on BM and Hispanic men on social media. I blame y’all intersectionalist for putting the battery in their backs

Defund the police should have been better articulated instead of letting the other side shape the narrative.

 

[ShoGun Of Harlem]

I should not be up at 4AM right now for this. The American people have failed this country yet again.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

They voted against racial equality tonight.

this, anyone kidding themselves in 2024 expecting the dem party to be hard on black ID politics/issues needs to just go register with the GOP now. you gotta pick some objective shyt to campaign on, do it with a charismatic candidate, and KIM.

and once again...kamala added nothing to this fukking ticket

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I know a lot of posters get triggered if someone brings up Bernie but if Biden actually loses this race clean and the GOP holds the senate I don't want to see anyone ever claiming again that Bernie would've done worse.

Did you see the Cubans and Mexicans celebrating tonight? You think they were voting Bernie because I don't think so.... especially the Cubans. And cacs would have bought into "socialism bad"

Packing the court as well.

It's looking like this election is a referendum on both.

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

If Trump wins on my birthday, I’m going to be pissed the hell off.

God can’t do me like that. He can’t!!!

 

[Carl Tethers]

Yea Uk already tried this and Jeremy Corbin got spanked


Trump with a huge landslide and strong political mAndate would be even scarier

Dunno about that. The second election Corbyn ran in may as well have been a second Brexit referendum. It's the position his party took that fukked him

I agree Sanders would have been washed though.. If Republicans can paint even Biden as a Socialist, they'd have done a number on Bernie

Obama would win the presidency if he was allowed to run this year.
