Senate Going Postal: The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

^ What this forum does to people.

This could literally be what a certain Ender Sai would have said ten years ago to a certain Darth_Ghost, who'd have been all up in arms about it.

 

Btw. How is Ender Sai doing? Where is J-Rod?

 

So Ghost is the new Ender?

 

It wasn't 2020 10 years ago, though.

 

You know exactly what I mean, Lowie!

 

I can certainly tell you where they’re not.

 

But J-Rod isn't banned, is he?

 

Considering the Saxtonites were my enemies, not bloody likely.

Ender Sai took his schtick too far, IIRC. J-Rod presumably left for forums where every user's icon shows them wearing wrap-around sunglasses and MAGA hats.

 

Is there really so little current information around Convention-time that this is what this thread has devolved to?!?

 

I literally haven't thought about that incident since I was 13 years old

also @J-Rod is 100% QAnon, right?

 

Ender is permabanned. J-Rod I didn't even realize was gone, but I guess he is.

 

There must be some campaign news: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/opinion/2020-election-prediction-allan-lichtman.html

I feel he badly fudges the answer about whether Trump is "charismatic." There must be more to it than a set of True/False statements. How true or false has to make a difference. In a normal world, Biden would be lined up for a landslide.

 

Allan Lichtman has two gimmicks. The first is the "keys to the white house." The second is that glorious hair and/or hair piece, whatever it is. It's clear he has a near Trumpian obsession with his hair.

 

I think it's clear that I'm no fan of the top VP contenders, but Biden's buddies want to keep politics a boys club.

In the last week, prominent Democratic men, campaign advisors and anonymous donors have suggested that senator Kamala Harris, a top candidate for vice president, was too ambitious...

The former Connecticut senator Chris Dodd, a member of Biden’s vice-presidential vetting team, was also reportedly bothered by the lack of contrition Harris expressed over a blistering attack on Biden during an early Democratic debate – an odd point of caution for a candidate who has been in politics for decades and seen his share of heated fights. Dodd’s younger days as a partier and his history with women have also come into question during the process.

...

The former Pennsylvania governor, Ed Rendell, told CNN that Harris can “rub some people the wrong way.” And in an interview with the Washington Post, he said he noticed that the Obama national security adviser Susan Rice’s political stock was rising because she smiled during a TV appearance – “something that she doesn’t do all that readily” – and was “actually somewhat charming” in her television appearances.

It's a good thing Strom Thurmond isn't still alive. He'd be Biden's top adviser.

 

Wasn't Strom Thurmond a Republican?

 

In the end this one very simple reality just may end up being enough to sink him. So yeah, there's way too much testing going on.

 

I don't know where it's come from, but this strain of Ender Sigh apologism is extremely and increasingly prevalent.

No one was bothered about small quips. He carried on arguments far longer and more bitterly than others. Even from his initial post or two, the desire to belittle others often overwhelmed any actual argument he was trying to make about underlying substance. He was prone to stupid, irresponsible fits of anger during which he would make all kinds of of caustic--and too many times bigoted--then expect to be forgiven on the excuse that he was upset. He made open, repeated, and false accusations that female members' professional advancement were won in exchange for sex acts. He was an incredibly toxic person on a scale that simply has not been seen here since his exit. Can we please stop?

 

Looking at this thread, you would think Ender was running for president of the United States.
Anyway, yes the figures of how many Americans know someone who has been infected with coronavirus hopefully foreshadow a turn in public opinion.

 

@Jabba-wocky, that wasn't apologism. It should be obvious. Maybe you have a bad memory. Ghost will understand what I mean.

I'd never apologize for Ender Sai - he wouldn't even want me to - but he is a personal friend of mine so I suggest you cool it with the unnecessary slander. You just misunderstood a post.

 

Yes. Before that he was a Democrat. What's important though is that he was Biden's friend. Biden eulogized Thurmond.

 

Is it true what Karen Bass might be problematic because she, huh, visited Cuba under Castro ?

This anti-Castro obsession has become grotesque at this point.

According to Wikipedia, Thurmond hadn't been a Democrat since before I was born. As a Republican, I'm sure he'd be in lockstep with the Trumpistas.

And she praised Castro, similarly to Sanders, it's not just a visit. Lots of folks visited Cuba.
