The 2020 USA POTUS election politics, the civil war, and the world war (Part 1)

4 more years of this and it won’t be close when Trump runs for 2024. Of course the Democrats may have further improved their voter fraud methods so they never lose again.

Hopefully the President Elect follows through with all his campaign promises unlike the sitting President who has not followed through on many of his. Good early signs.

Biden has chosen Lurch to be his new climate czar. :rofl:

This pompous Massachusetts know-nothing is gonna dictate to Americans how to run their lives.

And this sort of insanity is only just getting started!

Kamala Harris only has less than two months until her driver’s license is permanently revoked.

(Current and former Presidents and Vice Presidents aren’t allowed to drive on public roads, they have to be passengers of the secret service)

Hey, at least he was driving his own 'Vette.

Years ago, when he stole away his current wife, he used to drive her husband’s Corvette with her in the passenger’s seat.

Still to this day no better example of Biden’s sense of entitlement and his consummate immorality has emerged. He so perfectly represents the people who voted for him.

Credit to Biden for owning a 1967 automobile. Younger persons might be unaware of this:

1967 was the last year of the “good” cars. After that asinine liberal pollution restrictions kicked in. These forced the cars to be less powerful and less fun. It became even worse as time went on. Cars made in 1975 and later are not even worth owning.

Of course many of us living where there is no pollution testing modified our post-1967 cars to restore performance, ripping out all the pollution control garbage. It was not all that difficult to do so. Regardless, like Biden I have always preferred the 1967 and older cars which required no mods at all to perform as they should .

Don’t look now, but an orderly transition might be happening.

Lol what? Cheap electric vehicles today have better performance than midrange vehicles back then. Performance electric vehicles today exceed performance fossil vehicles of today, and would blow anything from 1967 out of the water… (some of the limiting factors for performance vehicles don’t have anything to do with the fuel or locomotion source, such as tires)

The appearance of the vehicles is a different story, though highly subjective. IMO, today’s vehicles seem relatively boring all around.

Well where would you expect him to put her, in the trunk?

I could not agree more with that portion of what you wrote.

There were no competitive electric cars available back in the 1967 and earlier time frame. So to mention them in response to my post is “apples and oranges”.

I would have thought he might have the good manners and sense of respect not to drive another man’s wife around in that man’s Corvette. That he did not tells you a lot about our new plagiarizer in chief.

Nonsense. Anything less than Trump handing Biden the keys and walking out 2 months early is unacceptible. Anything less than that, and we can be certain they’ll concoct reasons why its so terrible and dangerous and chaotic he is intentionally making it, all while citing various examples that are neither terrible, dangerous, nor chaotic as their indisputable proof of how bad he’s closing out his term.

It is a given that Biden cannot accept anything whatsoever that President Trump has accomplished. Instead he must disparage it all. This is by definition.

So I’m worried about how he will screw up President Trump’s plan to move the Trump vaccine out to the American people post haste. To follow Trump’s plan Biden must implicitly admit it is Trump’s vaccine and Trump’s plan. This he cannot do. Instead he will tear down Trump’s plan spouting some cockamamie BS excuse and we all will be vaccinated later than if Trump had remained in charge.

Changing horses in mid stream has never been a good idea.

FTFY.

Unfortunately, it seems a large minority of ~30%(70M voters) does accept the damage he has caused

Evidence of another of your “detectors” being broken or absent? The “it’s a joke” detector?

Or the “English language” detector? (Maybe it should have been in Russian? It makes sense if you used Google translate it wouldn’t convey the joke.)

You know what we call people who do not care about the well-being of others? Psychopaths.

Electric cars have been around for over a century and have held speed records for a while too. The emission controls slowed down ICE cars because manufacturers were too lazy and irresponsible.

Unfortunately, it also seems that only a large minority of ~33%(76M voters) does not accept the damage he has caused. In fact, 2 out of every 3 voters have given no indication they even agree with you that Trump has caused any damage to begin with.

It’s funny how you denounce Trump’s support as a minority, as if Biden has some broad sweeping mandate. Biden’s minority support is no more substantial than Trumps, the difference is within the margin of error as far as how it represents all Americans. This is actually a pretty big thing - at least Trump was pretty clear that he was aware a lot of people hated the crap he was feeding them. But you just expect everyone will agree with the self-righteous crap you’re dishing out - that’s what a lot of people find so concerning and dangerous and oppressive and whatever else.

I’d expect a generic Toyota Camry has better performance numbers than your pick of production cars from 1967.

If you’re going to go to two sig figs (I only went to one), then it was 80M who voted for Biden. (79,896,148 is 80M at both one and two sig figs. No accurate way to get to 76M. 73,826,134 is 70M at one sig fig or 74 at two). Not that it matters much… yes I’m pedantic with inaccuracies.

Not voting for either is an indication of not liking either. You could go with the 80M argument if your statement was instead “think Biden will be the better option”. But it seems pretty presumptuous to claim non-voters accept Trump’s actions.

That’s not entirely accurate based on the popular vote at least. Trump did not have the majority of voters behind him in 2016. He lost the popular vote by almost 3 millions. Biden has slightly more of a mandate by winning both the electoral college votes and the popular vote by about 6 millions.

I’ll give you two things though. First, that does not mean that there isn’t a very strong opposition to Biden. Almost as strong as opposition to Trump in 2016 actually if you go just by the numbers of the popular vote. And secondly, it’s not geographically uniform by any means. It easy to live in a tiny bubble where we think everyone has the same values. My district voted Biden at over 70% so yeah not a lot of Trump yard signs in a sea of Biden ones. Easy to think that it’s the same across the country, especially this year when people don’t travel much. But if you go 20 miles out of town, you have the mirror image opposite completely where people may be stunned as to how Trump did not win by a landslide.

By the look of things though, I think it’ll be hard in the next few years to find a POTUS who has anything looking like a broad mandate. Just like Dems could not see any good in any action of Trump - even when he closed borders with China at the beginning of the pandemic -, we’re primed for many people not able to give Biden any credit no matter what he does. It’s not hard to see why Trump gave up immediately trying to reach across the aisle. I’m not very hopeful that Biden will buck the trend to be honest (even if the veneer is different), especially if by any chance Dems flipped those two GOP seats in GA and don’t need to compromise with moderate Republicans to push their agenda through.

I think there is a common misunderstanding to the word “compromise”. If one portion is seeking something reasonable and another is seeking something batshit crazy or even just in the opposite “direction” – compromise does NOT mean settling halfway in-between at only “moderately crazy”. Halfway in- between does not mean the same as “neutral”.

For example (not a present day example), if one group wants to balance the budget and another wants a $2T deficit – a $1T deficit is not a compromise between those two groups. Or with a different strictly “numerical” example: Halfway between -100 and 10 is -45, not 0.

A lot of the commentary around the “relief bill” so far has made this mistake. Often by focusing on a single “number” that is referring to different things. It’s also common in other budgetary or tax discussions.

For compromise, all the involved groups must be seeking things that are reasonable, necessary, or helpful, but are just different.
