Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - PaulP - 10-01-2020
Forget personality politics - it's a mug's game. Those two have negligible impact on the policies of their respective parties.
On both policy and personality, it's a race to the bottom, and whilst it's a photo finish, Trump wins. Even the corporate elites prefer Biden.

No doubt....
But the thing is the divisions exist.
For the most part they stay hidden, bubbling along under the surface.
That kind of suppression is always going to explode at some point.
Trump didn't cause the division but he was the catalyst for its exposure and development.
The Democrats and their supporters, (especially some of the more high-profile) aren't exactly blameless in this situation either.
The language they use, the personal attacks on Trump's appearance and his family, the disparaging of his supporters are in some cases just as hateful as Trump's ravings.
After three years of relentless attacks I suspect the Democrats have realised that if they do win this election that there is a "Piper to be paid."
There will be no instant healing,
The Republicans will respond in exactly the same way their opponents did.
Obstruction and criticism at every turn.
The worst is yet to come.

But the danger is there, we live in an era dominated by the FaceCrook, InstaFraud and Twaddle. Kids, and by kids I mean people in existence below about the age of 30, use this media for information, and then they use it to cross check. It's self-referential, there is not editor, curator or accountability!
When Trump poses questions about the validity of voting, when he raises his arms and claims he can't be responsible for the behaviour of his supporters, it is really those under 30s who are "the they" in his frame of reference! Trump is almost universally derided in the age group below 21, they are really the first generation to be "woke" to the ways of mass social media, they are very very cynical of it. But he doesn't need them, they form such a small part of the vote count, he relies on the 30 to 50 bracket to get his votes.
But those under 21s, they will potentially be the ones on the front line if the Trump crap hits the fan, they will be the ones being bashed in riots on the streets, or blown up by rocket propelled grenades, exploded by home built devices or picked off by the disillusioned sniper in social unrest! It won't be the Trumps or Bidens of this world on the front line, maybe it should be!
Already China and other states have called Trump's bluff, they no longer treat him seriously, he made his bureaucratic/political/diplomatic threats and then blinked. But I'd assert the direction he is taking things in now is a little darker, pandering to the global ignorance of the majority of America he is burning the USA from the inside out, with the potential to suck in the rest of the world in the backdraft! Not because he thinks he can put the fire out, but because he thinks he will be safe from it!

Gotta have the last word, don't you. You think it's Biden v Trump? It isn't

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Gointocarlton - 10-01-2020
As someone else said. take em both out the back, shoot em, put em in hole and back fill it fast
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - PaulP - 10-01-2020
LP, I'm sure I could find out, but I don't know what % of the US population vote, and I don't know the demographic breakdown of that %. I maintain my previous position that Trump is not the disease, he is the symptom. He is what gets vomited up when people feel they've been sold out and left for dead. The system has been like a giant box of tinder for decades - whether Trump lights the match remains to be seen.
At any rate, I'm trying to talk about oceans, and everyone else seems focussed on puddles. Neither party will do anything about the NRA, or military spending, or environmental policy, or the religious right, or the widening gap between rich and poor..............I could go on. I would say most of us, but certainly the Yanks, are a population distracted from the impoverishment of their existence by a continuous cycle of production and consumption, whether in material terms (junk food, guns etc. ) or in social terms (Hollywood BS propaganda, education, pseudo cultural wars, biblical literalism etc.)
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - cookie2 - 10-01-2020
The USA is ruled by an aristocracy of billionaires of various factions. Biden and Trump represent two of those factions, neither have the best interests of the american people at heart. They are both tasked with further enrichment of the super rich, albeit by different paths. The big worry about this election is that the losers may decide to burn the whole house down. Brace yourselves, big bombshells ahead.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - LP - 10-01-2020
Well, I suppose we all must accept being bullied into silence, no public criticism allowed even if it is only pointing out real facts and truth!
Shhhhh, ........ careful he might hear you! :o

The following from earlier looks to be about Biden, but it's not about either?

It's not too hard to see how this sort of debate can degrade, is it?

Perhaps they really should divide the place in half... south and north USA, with different governments etc.
