i do really hope biden picks a solid conservative to be vp. i think that would shore up his victory assuming everyone votes. | Yes | 1 |
the reality is our voting system does not have any sort of foolproof oversight committee or transparency, and while i want to trust it, the reality is it can be fucked with quite easily given the money/power some people have. it's a shame, but it really does worry me sometimes that there's no way to actually 100% avoid that. | No | 0 |
yeah, that [terrible electoral college](. | Yes | 1 |
and of course his devotion to a public vote really gets me going. | Yes | 1 |
polling is just an indicator, i've absolutely no idea why people seem to think otherwise. they're all different all the time, different pollsters use different methods, questions, weightings and they're done on different days a lot of the time. | No | 0 |
not worried about election because there will be no election in november, or ever. they will not give up their power. | Yes | 1 |
yeah exactly. voting is a threat to democracy. lets just get our leaders decided by the corporation overlords. thats what the real democracy is all about. | Yes | 1 |
let's make sure win or lose we give him and all our special election nominees a fighting chance! donate to voteblue's special elections fund! | Yes | 1 |
more accurately, voting for biden is like rewinding a movie with the same actors for a retake. we get to restart, with the same dynamics at work that got us where we are, hoping that things will head in a different direction. | Yes | 1 |
why not all of it? personally i feel voting is bit limited. again, this is capitalist society. the more responsible consumers we have, the bigger impact we can have against shady ass corporations. we've been trying your suggestion since the beginning, and it hasn't got us very far, at all. it's time to make stances against stuff that might make our lives a hair more convenient, but will send a stronger message. | Yes | 1 |
biden has accepted donations from 44 billionaires in his 202 election bid. | Yes | 1 |
i think what’s interesting is i see more and more people either doubling down in his defense, or people who did vote for him starting to either call him out, or go out of their way not to discuss politics or biden/harris at any cost. you can tell some people don’t want to admit that what they voted for isn’t what they actually got but they were so vocal about their support they are almost ashamed to say anything about it at all now, because they supported him the loudest and disagree on so much that’s happened recently…they expected a post trump utopia and we’re moving closer and closer to dystopia. on the upside for the first time since trump was in office, i’m seeing more and more people reach genuine agreement across the political isles because the ones who are willing to talk about it, actually agree with one another on what’s going wrong. was interesting to see even jon oliver call biden out pretty viciously in his recent segment, haven’t seen any of the late night comedians or talk shows do that to that extent yet…with the exception of fox news, but that seems like an obvious one lol. | Yes | 1 |
lol yeah javier milei it's one of my favorites, in argentina espert (mostly libertarian) its running for presidential election, hopefully he'll get it. it would be really cool if the first libertarian president in modern times appears in a latin american country. | Yes | 1 |
karen bass is being vetted as vice president to joe biden. karen bass is also a scientologist. this “leak” was to gauge the american reaction to something of that magnitude. if results showed positive, they proceed onward. results have been more than positive. all the elites vote for biden because their key to success in squashing this entire epstein/maxwell issue is not him (and getting trump out of office), it’s karen bass. scientologists now have someone 2, to the united states of america. a deal is cut with maxwell, similar to the one cut with epstein, she will never see prison, she disappears “dies”. | Yes | 1 |
...on another note, why is biden using that quote, anyways (or at least trying to)? isn’t he on the side that wants to keep the homeless population around while telling everyone that they’re trying to fix the problem, but really just gives them small bonuses here and there to make them happy so they hopefully vote for their side? | Yes | 1 |
look at the vocal minority of conservative voters. | Yes | 1 |
(even if his candidacy dies in three months, yang has already won. two years ago, few americans had ever heard of ubi, and now a solid 61% of americans support ubi! | Yes | 1 |
also remember, a lot of people didn't vote. for every person that cast a ballot, there were adults who didn't, and about half of those aren't even registered to vote. | No | 0 |
i like to point out, biden first ran for the presidency in 1988! can we please elect somebody who doesn’t have grandchildren? | Yes | 1 |
but i have this underlying fear that a lot of people would sigh in relief if biden is elected, because finally they can talk to their “friends” again. | Yes | 1 |
guess who is no longer a republican or voting for trump? my neighbor said trump's twitter was the line that he shouldn't have crossed as he criticized vindman. this neighbor added that there is nothing worse in this universe than a never-served person criticizing an activie-duty military. my neighborhood had several family members and good friend killed in our various wars. and to hear the president complain was just too much. | Yes | 1 |
my concern is the opposite of "let's not vote for him," it's rather, "i hope this won't stop anyone from voting for him!". | Yes | 1 |
maybe- but it's a moot point because the state government would never let everyone vote who should be voting. | Yes | 1 |
then dont buy their product, they are not pulling in magical money, you paid for their service or goods, which you thought must have been priced well, that is how they are bringing that amount of money, therefore, it is proportionate. also, once again, vote in a new politician, not the company's fault for your poor voting. | Yes | 1 |
probably because most of em voted against trump and not necessarily for biden. | Yes | 1 |
and well, england/wales decided to vote for brexit despite knowing it would likely destabilise the uk just 2 years after scots were told vote no to stay in the eu. | No | 0 |
i voted for biden and feel he has done a good job. exiting afghanistan was a no-win sceanerio no matter how it was done or who was at the helm. but it could have been managed it better than it was. | Yes | 1 |
yet the vast majority of the political discourse surrounding the ndp on this subreddit and elsewhere makes them out to be far left extremists. i've had conversations with self-proclaimed centrists lamenting the fact that the liberal party has, itself, pushed too far left, and that there exists no "centre" party in canada for them to vote for. but the liberal party is right-of-centre, if they were actually centrist their problem with the liberal party would be that they are too right-wing, not left-wing. if the liberal party is too left wing, then they aren't centrist as they claim, they're right-wing. and far be it from me to imply the people saying those kind of things are doing it bad faith, but there is enough of a problem with the mainstream perception of politics that saying things like "slightly more right than extreme left" means fucking nothing when people who would legitimately consider themselves "slightly more right than extreme left" don't even come left enough to support centre-right or moderate right parties like the liberals or the democrats. | Yes | 1 |
trump claimed the last three elections had massive fraud and the results were illegitimate. | Yes | 1 |
she won my vote because cg2. | No | 0 |
where's this poll you are talking about? | No | 0 |
really hope this man wins presidency. | Yes | 1 |
so the argument here is that the state is making it easier for predominantly democratic voters to vote, easing their burden and granting them convenience, without doing so uniformly throughout the state. | Yes | 1 |
dude. the establishment is gonna change their tune about the popular vote and delegates in 3 days. bernie is set to win both by all accounts. he won't get over 50% which leads to a brokered convention, and biden becoming the nominee while receiving less votes. this guarantees a trump win, which it seems the dnc doesn't mind. | Yes | 1 |
but you don't have to vote on election day. you can do a mail in ballot weeks ahead of time. | Yes | 1 |
as a left leaning outsider (by canadian standard, not american), i would vote biden over trump every day of the week. | Yes | 1 |
2. his best position is his staunch support of the aca. it feels like most other candidates in this race aren't interested in preserving obamacare, much less stand by its successes. rather than pursue a plan like abolishing private insurance outright, biden wants to build on the successes of the aca, which was the original approach to implementing it. his focus on the paris climate accord in his climate change plan is similar. he would be a continuation of the obama presidency in the best sense. | Yes | 1 |
why continue to discuss biden? his only purpose is to provide cover while they sneak in some marxist female poc as vice president. if elected biden won't serve more than 2 months before he has some "health concern" and resigns. biden is just there to take the heat off his running mate during the election. | Yes | 1 |
so the argument here is that the state is making it easier for predominantly democratic voters to vote, easing their burden and granting them convenience, without doing so uniformly throughout the state. | Yes | 1 |
not really people just stuck their heads back in the sand when biden was elected. | Yes | 1 |
then ban all political donations, and reduce the length of election campaigns, which should be publicly financed. | Yes | 1 |
yet, young people still don’t vote, and complain about the system you did nothing to help change through the ballot box. | No | 0 |
this is true, but there’s also a lot of people in safe states who don’t vote because their state is safe, but would vote under a different system where their vote mattered. | Yes | 1 |
will not forget to vote. | No | 0 |
i think clyburn wanted someone who owed him and knew that pete wasn't that candidate. i still think biden was a terrible candidate, but he won because he wasn't trump, trump f'ed up covid, and people knew him and trusted him. i really feel bad for biden that clyburn promotes the kingmaker narrative, it's jerky and offensive to biden. | Yes | 1 |
well, sometimes they are the majority of voters. | No | 0 |
ranked choice voting is the only way for another party to start gaining power. people will be much more likely to vote a candidate they want knowing their vote will eventually go toward one of the winners. | Yes | 1 |
total votes: 27 \| last updated: 2020-06-08t23:03:37+0000. | No | 0 |
they're worried about elections. | No | 0 |
biden often talks about his stutter pretty openly. in case anyone missed it, here is him [talking about his stutter]( during a cnn town hall during the primaries. it's very endearing and i'd highly encourage everyone to give it a watch and share it around. | Yes | 1 |
the only time i haven't voted by mail is when my ballot didn't arrive until after the election :/ fortunately it seems like that is a pretty rare situation. | Yes | 1 |
don't get me wrong, stupid asf reason to veto. but i will gladly take a vetoed defense bill that increases their budget any day. | No | 0 |
doesn't matter. i remember what it was like to be that age. even smart kids post 18 just couldn't be bothered to vote. | Yes | 1 |
i say it often, but can't say it enough. get the word out, pester your friends, vote. we need to send a message that is very loud and very clear that america values more than corporate profits. i don't mean to sound overdramatic but this election truly is the most important that i imagine many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. | Yes | 1 |
so the argument here is that the state is making it easier for predominantly democratic voters to vote, easing their burden and granting them convenience, without doing so uniformly throughout the state. | Yes | 1 |
yep... by the russians, a hundreds of millions of dollars election fraud scheme that the trump campaign not only benefited from but openly invited. trump continually denies and obstructs justice while investigators attempt to get to the bottom of it. | Yes | 1 |
i keep wanting to make “fuck trudeau - vote ndp” stickers just to watch people’s minds explode. | Yes | 1 |
hey, thanks for your response but i wasn’t asking why people are voting for yang. that i completely understand. | No | 0 |
\ unrestricted political adverts, with the knock on effect of making money incredibly important in elections, and in doing so increasing the chances of politicians being beholden to those who contribute to their funding. | Yes | 1 |
i remember watching that episode as it aired and thinking that having people on the internet vote for the ending was pretty cool even for a silly gimmick. definitely the shape of things to come. | No | 0 |
i voted for him but i don’t think i was ever really “pro biden.” i’m very firmly anti dictatorship. i wanted trump gone biden was the only option. i personally wanted bernie, but you gotta do what you gotta do. | Yes | 1 |
after 90 days i still feel like he was the right choice and i’m glad i voted for him. biden will do and has already done things i agree with and things i disagree with. the people who voted for him will call him out on things we disagree with because he is a human put in office to do a job for all the people in the us not a god to be worshipped. i would have preferred to have bernie in office because he is definitely way more progressive but i’m happy i no longer have to wake up every morning to a circus and get acid indigestion while watching the news. | Yes | 1 |
i want donald trump out - but how am i supposed to vote for joe biden? there was an entire field of candidates that did not have this problem - and they closed ranks around joe biden just to fuck bernie sanders all over again. | Yes | 1 |
hillary "superpredator" clinton was their first candidate. joe "mass incarceration" biden, i mean joe "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black" biden, i mean joe "strom thurmond's eulogist" biden, i mean joe "eastland and i got along" biden is their second candidate against the orange dipshit. | Yes | 1 |
most people who voted for trump are anti establishment, but biden is the establishment. i plan to still vote for whomever runs against 45, since i want him out. he already caused huge amount of damage in only 2 years. | Yes | 1 |
so, what did they just move on from the other voting rights bill we asked that would have helped african americans? we could get an anti-asian hate crime through congress, another covid stimulus, infrastructures working through, but anything dealing with black voters is just not an option? | Yes | 1 |
some energy. just devolved to directly mean “fuck joe biden” because the mental age of conservatives declined drastically during trumps presidency. every problem is now somehow directly biden’s fault in their mind. i have to hear about it every day from family. | Yes | 1 |
the military might be conservative for the most part, (although sanders got the most donations from the military during the primaries) but approval for trump is pretty low, and they're pretty constitutionalist. if trump tried to go against the constitution, there would probably be a big split. | Yes | 1 |
vote for yang, $1000 monthly for all citizens. we need ubi. | Yes | 1 |
voters tend to be very stupid. | No | 0 |
this is one of biden's biggest strengths. he is the favorite so far with black voters and has a chance to actually win the wwc. that's like a miracle coalition if he can drive out support and turnout for both. | Yes | 1 |
total votes: 23 \| last updated: 2022-09-01t10:03:39+0000. | No | 0 |
we will vote. | No | 0 |
voters tend to be very stupid. | No | 0 |
more often than not the 2 are driven to vote the same tho. your not wrong tho it doesn't take much especially with some recent gerrymandering. | Yes | 1 |
and we let them vote? | No | 0 |
i'm voting for the best candidate in the race. | Yes | 1 |
im a biden supporter but will vote for any dem nominee. | Yes | 1 |
we can't even get electoral reform. this is fantasy. | Yes | 1 |
and in regards to "rigged election" claims: | Yes | 1 |
sad thing, i voted for him. | Yes | 1 |
i cant help but notice that hillary was in shambles after last election, and arguably - she is a better candidate, than j biden. does this mean we are in for 4 more years of d j trump administration? probably. usa usa usa. | Yes | 1 |
you don't get to choose your magically perfect candidate, because they're not up for election. if all you're doing is shitting on biden, the only result is that people are less likely to vote trump the everloving fuck out of office. | Yes | 1 |
i agree. biden is an awful candidate, and i would try and convince anybody who supports him to support someone else instead. | Yes | 1 |
... he didn’t win the popular vote by anything that would be remotely considered a landslide. his election ranks as one of the closest in history according to the electoral college. | Yes | 1 |
she'll have a better chance if you vote now! | No | 0 |
cuz he is with the insane gop - who know they cannot win legit elections w/o cheating anyway they can - including abandoning democracy in favor of pure autocracy. may hell exist, so they can rightly burn in it. | Yes | 1 |
which is just demonstrably false. biden appealed to more democratic voters, that's all i was trying to point out. | Yes | 1 |
still blows my mind that people presumably have heard biden speak in the last few years and still voted for him. i mean, i get overlooking his awful policy record since americans always do that, but the man is incoherent. voting for a nominee so thoroughly rejected by young people is a good way to lose generations of voters. | Yes | 1 |
the difference in size is largely because biden ran for presidency and not senate. | Yes | 1 |
i have literally not said anything against what you are saying. stop being hostile towards people that are on your side. vote blue, duh; but also push for the reform of systems that actively give the fascist side of the country more power. call out the racists and "christian reich" of the country before they burn this county to the ground, cloaked in the flag, holding a cross, and chanting bible verses. | Yes | 1 |
not all of us are idiots. vote blue. | No | 0 |
i remember watching that episode as it aired and thinking that having people on the internet vote for the ending was pretty cool even for a silly gimmick. definitely the shape of things to come. | No | 0 |
a significant amount of relevant information was unavailable to mueller due to four factors. first, as the report states, “several individuals affiliated with the trump campaign lied to the office,” and “those lies materially impaired the investigation of russian election interference.” second, president trump’s interference in the investigation also appears to have stymied the investigation. a key example is paul manafort’s failure to cooperate with the special counsel because he was apparently led to believe that president trump would pardon him. third, some individuals used encrypted communications or deleted their communications. fourth, some of the individuals who “cooperated” with the investigation (e.g., steve bannon) appear to have been deceptive or not fully forthcoming in their dealings with the special counsel. several individuals failed to recall the content of important conversations with trump or other campaign associates. the report states, “even when individuals testified or agreed to be interviewed, they sometimes provided information that was false or incomplete.”. | Yes | 1 |
call me naive but this isn’t something i’m afraid of at all. i do believe he could try to retain his office and i do believe he might try to take drastic measures to do so, but if he actually loses the election, at the end of the day, there’s not a damn thing he can do to keep it. the time between november and january will be the most tense months ever, but the second the new president is inevitably sworn in, trump will have effectively lost all power and he’d be dragged out if need be. and there wouldn’t be enough republican politicians willing to commit career suicide to back someone they realistically know to be so crazy and without a chance of winning that fight anyway. unless he manages to pass a constitutional amendment in the next 12 months, he’s going to have to give up that desk if he loses next year. | Yes | 1 |
we voted for biden to get rid of that f'in walking disaster, incompetent boob trump. | Yes | 1 |
i voted for you. | Yes | 1 |
trump signed the sanctions more than a year before the end of his term (after publicly criticizing the pipeline ever since he got into office), so i disagree with your claim that it was under duress or as an attempt to “pre-empt” biden’s opposition. also, i could have missed it, but i don’t recall biden being publicly opposed to the pipeline during his presidential run. in fact, it took biden less than 5 months into his term before completely waiving all the ns2 sanctions imposed by trump. | Yes | 1 |
why not all of it? personally i feel voting is bit limited. again, this is capitalist society. the more responsible consumers we have, the bigger impact we can have against shady ass corporations. we've been trying your suggestion since the beginning, and it hasn't got us very far, at all. it's time to make stances against stuff that might make our lives a hair more convenient, but will send a stronger message. | No | 0 |
great idea, i voted, hopefully he will win. | Yes | 1 |
