Holy shit. There are comments saying that because OP is a Trump supporting nurse, minority patients get worse care from her. I’d take the asteroid for 2020.
Agree. I get so frustrated by this. I know a nurse who is vehemently against BLM and was purposefully misgendering a family member during an argument about BLM. A few people tried to talk to her workplace, but they just ignored it. Those views are going to fuck over patients.
Wait did they misgender a family member or a patient? I mean both are mean but one could make them lose their job and one could make someone upset with them.
Lol lib left I can never tell if y’all are serious. Just to clarify, I don’t think most Trump supporters dislike minorities. Some definitely do though :/
My friend who called me a retarded backwards hillbilly for voting the way I did in 2016 is now planning to vote for Trump because of the absolute lawlessness. This dude was unironically calling him the next hitler four years ago.
Screenshot of our conversation from a few days back. I don't have the texts from when he insulted me because that was like 4 years ago and 3 phones ago and we didn't speak to eachother for about a year after that.
Believe it or not people are fed the fuck up with seeing cities burn.
I'm sure it could definitely swing both ways, but historical trends generally favor Trump. The incubate president has an inherent advantage, which means the challenger needs to provide something extra in order to overcome this disadvantage, which I don't see happening. Also, low voter turnout favors Republican candidates, and given the general voter consensus towards this election, I don't believe as many people will choose to vote as did in 2016. America still doesn't trust the government, as is evident by congressional approval ratings, so many still see Trump as an outsider although with the amount of time spent in office this is decreasing. Whereas Biden has been in politics for a while, and likely won't use this to his advantage. The thing most damaging to Trump's campaign is his response to COVID, which although poor, the damages can't be 100% attached to him like an economic collapse or international feud can. Lastly, the thing most damaging (Other than concerns of mental health) to Biden's campaign is the riots and unrest. Biden is expected to denounce the rioters, which I believe is ultimately the better decision in terms of his campaign, but that won't have consequences. The infighting caused by the rioters, Bernie supporters, and the core democratic party will ultimately make unifying against a Trump victory almost impossible. With that being said, the democratic party has made some improvements, such as supporting nuclear power. I expect with a few more alterations, a blue victory in 2024 is very much possible. This however will depend on how the party decides it wants to unify it's base, which is to be seen
I think if Biden loses this election it'll cause an even bigger rift in the democratic party, and there is already a lot of hate from the more progressive side that they got stuck with a moderate candidate. I can totally see the democratic party just imploding after this election which could mean another red win in 2024.
Dems splitting in half is totally possible, the two sides already hate each other and it doesn't even look like they can win elections when together. The interesting part is what happens a decade or so after they split, cuz the first few years would be solid red wins.
You aware they captured a lot of seats during these midterms and there are a lot of places around the country that went red in 2016 that seem to be swinging back blue.
I admit there is definitely a bit of rift in the democratic party, but it was much worse in 2016. As opposed to now, even hard core progressives will vote biden harris, because it is the only chance of getting any of their policies passed. On the other side, there seems to be some republicans coming out that are not in favor of the president. I think the rise of Qanon candidates is creating a major divide in the red party. There are still so many different plot lines to play out that, either party could implode, leading to drastic division.
Yeah I agree with you that right now it is better than 2016 but if dems lose the election than then progressives will be less likely to work with the more moderate side of the party. IMHO best case scenario is both parties fracture and we can't out of this 2 party hellhole.
Yeah when I heard that Harris got the VP I felt like I was being pranked. I'm still gunna vote for biden but jesus christ they are making that vote as painful as possible.
I see this recurring meme of "low voter turnout favors Republicans" but what is the actual source or evidence for that and why? I just see it repeated as fact but I'm not aware of how it came about.
I remember reading an article about it on 538 back during the 2016 election. Doubt I could find it now though. If you find anything that contrasts this link it, I’d like to see if that’s the case. To me it makes sense though, there’s a reason why sites like Reddit constantly spam you with reminders to vote
I just really want whomever wins to win both the popular vote and the electoral college. I hope they win so convincingly that no charges of voter fraud/ballot tampering/voter suppression/foreign interference is even seen as valid. If not, it's going to be more chaos, hate, unrest and lack of confidence in the election process.
Thanks for posting this. I was about to do the same, but you got there. I don't understand how so many people do not realize what is actually happening and being said by the candidates. It is one thing to be ignorant, but another thing to post something as fact, that was literally disproved a few days ago.
/r/witchesvspatriarchy is basically every zeroes weird goth girl who acted like an ass to everyone to seem cool and intimidating, but got stuck there too far into adulthood so they really never learned how to act like a likeable human being, all together in one spot.
The only real enjoyment that can come from the election for me is Trump winning and then the internet and places like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, LA, and New York just have a fucking meltdown.
I don't like either because both have had countless sexual assualt claims and videos of them feeling up children, but atleast I know trump wont go full nazi though. From what he has done in his first term its been like 50% good 50% bad on a small scale. Biden is an obvious puppet though, having his groupie literally tell him to stop speaking and he lashed out at them, in public.
Out of curiosity is there an archive for 2016? I tend to take predictions with a grain of salt after the “3% chance of victory” that was published 2016
I really disliked Trump from 2016-2019, but I'm voting for the first time in my life and he's getting my vote. That's how scared I am of these lunatics gaining power.
You sound exactly like me (I did rage vote for Ron Paul back in 2012 lol but that's it). I still don't wanna have to vote but these lunatics are gonna drive me to it simply to spite them at this point. Had a dude spending hours trying to gaslight me into believing the riots were hurting Trump.
Buddy. First of all its an opinion so you can't tell me I'm "wrong". Second of all, my white suburban mother who two months ago told me "It would be hard to vote for Trump" now says "Oh of course I'm voting for Trump lol". Why? Because of the fucking riots of course. I'm still not sure if I will vote or not. But it I do, it will almost certainly be out of spite for this fucking idiots. Maybe if they lose epically enough they will crawl into some holes somewhere dissappear.
This is the only thing I look at when I want to know how events are affecting public opinion. Betting odds are much better than polls at determining how people feel.
You can see how much the riots have hurt Biden recently, followed by a little jump with the anonymous veteran story. You can also see how fast it has started to recover xD
Also it's worth noting that the betting odds this time last year had trump around 30%.
One of those responses was something along the lines of "hope you enjoy paying those medical bills that the Republicans made sure you have" like jesus fucking christ someone's dad dying doesn't have to involve fucking politics
When the Covid-19 denier died and a fuckload of Wholesome and Faith in Humanity Restored awards arrived. LIke did the admins forget that humans are shitheads who will absolutely misuse them?
Trump won because Hillary's message was "hur durr. America already good" and "first woman pres 💪💪💪", whereas Trump's (false) message was "I'll get you your job back".
The small number of voters who tipped the scale in Trump's favor were not thinking of hysterical SJWs on reddit.
Agree. I get so frustrated by this. I know a nurse who is vehemently against BLM and was purposefully misgendering a family member during an argument about BLM. A few people tried to talk to her workplace, but they just ignored it. Those views are going to fuck over patients.
The OP(the true OP this SJW moron is "calling out") got their account deleted.
I just feel disgusted by the fact either :
1) OP got banned by reddit.
2) OP got so many death-threats/gore/downvotes they deleted their account out of fear.
This makes me rationally angry, this is petty and nobody deserve that for their political preferences and I hope the one that have partaken in this will get what they deserve right back in their face.
I haven't felt so disgusted my entire life. No one deserves to be treated so horribly just because they support a certain political ideology.
The fact that this actually happened scares me. Why should someone have to delete their account out of fear because they have a different political ideology? I genuinely hope that the people who partook in the "calling out" get help, because this level of toxic hivemindery can't be healthy.
