Uh oh

Arizona will probably go to Trump at this rate. Hopefully Mark Kelly has a big enough buffer for his Senate race.

Far and away the strongest point you've made so far.

Thanks. I'm trying my best to make as much effort in my posts as you do, since my arguments were clearly weak.

*sigh*. I wonder how Rol isn't a mod at this point.

"Since my arguments were clearly weak."

Now you've made an even better point. On the right track.

Btw, report button is right there buddy. That's the way to complain about mod behavior. They go right to the head mod. Other than that is against the rules.

If Trump won't get his second term, will he be upset that he won't get his third and fourth term either?

Probably.

I think Trump set a record though. Only one-term president to get impeached.
Everyone else had two terms.

Thats typical politicians for you. Taking their sweet ass time to get impeached. Trump got it done in 4 years.

Well, can't say this hasn't been entertaining. Just proving my point yet again that some people simply can't be reasonable and have a nice, good discussion, and that this thread goes nowhere sometimes.

Since someone has to be the better person, I'm removing myself from this discussion, which is clearly going nowhere. You're welcome!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Insane woman from Trump administration starts incoherently channeling demons to strike down Biden.

Hopefully she has loony bin insurance where she can get her brain defucked.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Oh, you certainly did. That's three in a row.

The US has lost no matter what, the World looks on in disbelief that half of the country still wants the most dishonest President in living memory in power, such a wounded country

Well I dont think the world will see the US as much better with an old confused man in charge. Maybe countries will not take advantage of them out of sympathy? I dont think so though. They will probably rejoin the Paris climate deal and pay billions more than any other country. China is pretty much off the hook. The world is back to seeing the US as their piggy bank. Could be worse I guess.

I'm not seeing much of a 'confused old man' perspective here, probably because it largely seems like yet another of Trump's lies. Instead, I'm seen people bash Trump (and his voters) in various ways - something I've never encountered regarding America politics before. To me, it seems like people see Trump as the laughing stock of the US, whereas the rest are seen as just politicians. I think even in this thread there was a post about a study according to which the image of the US has plummeted during Trump's presidency. I have no reason to believe Biden will be seen as a problematic president by very many people. The division of the American people will be though, although even that probably pales in comparison to Trump (which is not to say it isn't a huge problem, because it absolutely seems like a gigantic problem to me).

Nothing decided yet?

Fellow americans what do you think about the idea of changing your voting system to something more digital? It's not only harder to cheat, but also much faster

Harder to cheat by whom? By individual voters, or by outside hacking attempts?

I think the overall problem with digital voting is the lack of a paper trail. It's always good to have some kind of physical evidence. 

I'm also not especially concerned about the speed. It is frustrating on a personal level not to know the results quickly, but the most important thing is an accurate count. Speediness is a distant second.
