Do we have a politics thread to discuss things political?

The only thing that has surprised me in the last few day's is that when you look at the total number of votes Trump has got he has actually received nearly 10 million more than in 2016. Who are these people who have watched him over the last 4 years and gone ya know what you have done an aces job as President Donnie boy I don't normally vote or didn't vote for you last time but I will now.
As @Affable noted earlier, Trump voters were motivated to vote, but as I argued, Democrat voters were motivated even more. Hillary lost in 2016 despite having 3m more votes than Trump, but I think right now, Biden has about 3.8m more than Trump. Turnout has been very high.

I don't pretend to understand US politics for one minute but the thing that surprises me is that out of millions and millions of Americans they came up with these two...surely they could do better than this?
Trump was the Republicans' incumbent so they weren't about to run anyone else. Democrats had a choice between a fading old man (Biden), a Socialist (Bernie), a woman (Liz Warren) and a gay guy (Pete Buttegieg). I really think Warren was by far the best of these but maybe they felt she was unelectable. The field of candidates was far from spectacular. I mean, OMG a woman! Really! Maybe the Hillary experiment just put them right off.

They needed a strong moderate candidate to counter extremist Trump. Warren was out as she drew too many comparisons to Hilary and was far too easy for Trump to attack. Biden seemed to unaffected by many of the standard Trump attacks. It was basically the pot calling the kettle black.

Yeah I just wish they'd had someone a bit younger and more dynamic. Warren is at least very intelligent and on the ball even though she is only three years younger than Biden.

Meanwhile here's the current state of play:

The left potentially rigging the voting. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Could see that coming for a mile away. 😆



I was shocked but at the same time I am not. The USA will lose either way from this election. The sad thing is that we will suffer from it as well.

How will we suffer if Biden is president?

Biden's China stance is quite friendly. We won't have an ally in the battle against China and I would not be surprised if China retaliates. I genuinely fear for our country if Biden gets in.

Australia is the most pro-China country in the western world. At least economically.
 
Who will break the news to trump that he lost?
Dunno. Must be a shame to be the 2nd worlds worst leader on earth.
Gold medal goes to Justin "clueless' Trudeau.Quite the accomplishment to be more brain damaged than trump.
Tho Im only surmising. I dont live in Canada so im not really qualified to comment accurately.

Maybe they'll conduct a Truman like scenario for him where he's still president?
