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

[Lucky_Lefty]

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....

Doesn't Biden support the vast majority of the positions the progressive left wants?

He advocated for $15 minimum wage, public healthcare, pathway to citizenship, massive tax hikes on the wealthy, police reform, etc.

I am skeptical of the idea that he would have got more votes by being further left. It could be true, but I honestly think that Trump and his ilk have controlled the "narrative" enough over the last 5 years that it might not matter.

Look, in Florida they voted for $15/hour wage. Trump doesn't want that. But they also voted for Trump. They agree with the Democrat platforms, but they are voting against blacklivesmatter.... I'm telling you

And Bernie is to the left of Biden on social issues too. If those Trump cacs thought Joe was too woke, just imagine Bernie.

Trump cacs like that he speaks plain English. Bernie could communicate in their language.

i wonder how much of this election was a referendum on the administrations COVID policy

is it possible that this many people still think this is a joke? even after trump got covid and had to go to walter reed?

Ohh, you have no idea about the cacs, c00ns, broads, that push this conspiracy shyt on YT, FB, etc... They need to be dealt with

The social conservative point is real. Wild how fast time goes. In ‘08 Obama simply had to explain why he was previously a slow adopter on gay marriage.

Fast forward a few election cycles, and you’re automatically a problematic transphobe if you accidentally call her Bruce

Exactly. And the same people would get mad at you (and assume your gender ) and say you're a sexist man for making one pronoun mistake.

I really think a lot of people go "this is where the future of my party is going?" Not even saying they're accurate but that's the perception from some.

Joe Biden is also a centrist. he literally has the same policy as Obama.

Obama didn’t really have to compete with all this stuff out there.
The only controversial talking points back then was place of birth

You’re right, but unfortunately a lot of people don’t look at the candidate and they look at the narrative being fed to them (Antifa, radical left, socialism, etc)

Obama didn’t have to deal w/ that nearly as much.

If Biden loses I think it’s because they didn’t push hard enough against those narratives.

Trump said ‘Biden is the radical left’ and instead of making big efforts to refute that with hard evidence, Democrats pointed back and said ‘but look how AWFUL Trump is!’.

True.

All of these places will stomach the culture stuff if they actually offered something. Bernie was always viewed as being authentic and people appreciated that he said who he was and stood his ground. That's why he got elected mayor, became a Congressman and then became a Senator.

i just thought these were loud idiots on the internet

but now its looking really like half of the country

I;d dap and rep but I'm out of reps tonight. That bolded is so damn true.

At the end of the day this has nothing to do with politics. Florida just likes that cac

i can't sleep and thecoli bout to go down for its nightly maintenance...and reddit bay area is celebrating that affirmative action wasn't reinstated...it's actually pretty interesting, CA voted pretty damn conservative on a lot of props...hilarious the stupid progressive for no reason shyt we'll implement, but things that really bring about systemic change get

 

[Cave Savage]

Okay so what happens if an AOC type wins the Dem primary in 2024 and loses to Josh Hawley or Tucker Carlson.

The problem may be a lot deeper than Biden's platform not being left enough

Basically. If people stopped having to choose between death or bankruptcy from medical bills they'd accept whatever culture shyt you wanted to send along with it. If a president ever manages to pull off M4A in my lifetime they'll be looked at as history passes as a top 5 GOAT candidate president.
