General Election 2020: Biden vs Trump

[Wheels]

Well there's certainly no one to vote for. I can't blame anyone inclined to vote against Trump. The man is terrible no doubt.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I heard there was a Biden town hall tonight. Was that incorrect, did they move it?

It's supposed to be on CNN, right?

That would explain why I couldn't find it on ABC. I just assumed it would be the same channel.

Just looked it up, it is tomorrow. That makes sense.

I would’ve missed it if not for the mass confusion.

I am curious to watch. Not much he can say to deter me from voting unless he unmask Scooby villain style and ends up being Stephen Miller. But I am curious how he holds up before debates. With so much early voting debates probably have less impact then ever before, but at the same time I do wonder how quick on his feet Biden can be. Especially after that display from Trump last night.

At the start of the first debate, Biden should look over at Trump and hit him with this:

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

One might say, the most SAD!

Or indeed, dare I say it? BIGLY SAD...

 

[chaseter]

It is truly sad to be anti-authoritarian, anti-fascist.

Explain how Trump is a fascist...with examples.

Ok then I’m voting against communism and government takeover!

This is anti-intellectual.

Is this a serious question? You don't think Trump has fascist tendencies? For example saying he wants four more years and four more after that? Or how he has mentioned as president that he has "absolute power"? You're in the wrong place I think. This isn't the QAnon 4chan page

Over 81,000 ballots have been returned since NC started mailing them out almost two weeks ago.

Fascism - Wikipedia.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[4][5][6]

Alright, good, now we know what fascism is. Now, for the examples:

then I’m voting against communism and government takeover!

This is anti-intellectual.

It is when you don't know what communism, authoritarianism, or fascism is. Your incorrect use of communism and apparently lack of knowledge of what fascism is, is the issue here. Trump is a fascist, Biden is not a communist. Thus voting against Biden for being a communist is anti-intellectual. Voting against Trump for being a fascist is reality.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Lol at Biden being a communist. Jfc chaseter make an effort.

The simplest explanation for why people would support someone who is a:

1. Racist
2. Conspiracy nut
3. Anti science
4. Ignoramus
5. Vindictive
6. Insecure
7. Corrupt
8. Compulsive liar...

Is because theyre just like him. (Btw I forgot lazy, venal and utterly amoral). Just look at his cabinet, especially the ones who are still around. Or convicted felons...

The sound we are all hearing at this particular time is called a "mic drop".

Only thing that would make this story better would be to find out his campaign paid for the event and air time. I don't understand why Disney would do this ad for Trump for free, and it's disturbing one way or the other.

I don't know if the town hall was an ad for Trump so much. Considering how badly he performed it's possible someone at Disney just had the idea that people might want to see some "normal" people asking a simpleton simple questions.

HAHAHA. Once again, if Biden is a Communist, then just call me Stalin.

Trump has said and shown very authoritarian tendencies. He loves strong-men dictators. Show me one video of Biden saying how we need a classless society, or how we need to start a dictatorship of the proletariat, or helping the workers seize the means of production.

No, really, please, show me. I need anything to not have to be drunk to cast my vote for him.

Isn't it funny how much context matters?


P.S. LOL at Biden being a Communist. That's the kind of thing I'd expect to hear from someone claiming the Nazis were Socialists because they were the "National Socialist Party" or who believes that the Democratic Republic of Bananaland is a Democracy or a Republic.

On a purely U.S. National Political Landscape Biden is a fairly Centrist candidate. On a global level he's a Conservative with some (stated) socially liberal ideals.
On the other hand, I don't think President Trump is a fascist. I think he's a moron. His advisers on the other hand...some (many? most?) of them are pretty much in the Kool Kids Klub ideologically.

But it's okay to send in federal law enforcement who don't identify themselves and force people into unmarked cars and hold them. RIGHT?

I mean, he won the electoral college vote, got elected president, and can do anything he wants. Right? He said so. It must be true.

 

[Sithborg]

Trump is absolutely a facist. CEO's in business are in inherently authoritarian, especially if they do not have a board of directors to answer to. Hell, Trump is even a wannabe gangster, likely due to his time in New York.

That will always be the trouble with "running government like a business". It forgets the lack of democracy in the business world.

I can't take credit for coming up with it. I have no idea where I got that from but it's been a good long while since I first heard it. Maybe during the later part of the 90's?
