US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

 

[Screw Danlon]

Gotta love Biden sitting in a large empty dining car next to his wife and still wearing his extra large mask.

They’re all wearing them. Maybe his incontinence is worse than we thought.

The train thing is just straight up bizarre to me. Does the DNC think that poor people are all the time riding around on Amtrak? Who the hell takes Amtrak anywhere? It’s the strangest attempt to pander I’ve ever seen. It really just highlights that he’s OLD and hilariously out of touch. If you check the website, Amtrak is advertising itself as essentially a sight-seeing vacation. Not exactly the hard workin’ man’s choice.

In fairness, if you want to hit 10 spots in a day, a train is significantly easier on the body than a plane, allows you to sleep in between and depending on the distance may actually be faster. A friend of mine takes the train from Boston to NYC sometimes so he can work en route,

Until Biden can understand this one simple picture, fuck him in the ass with a waa-waa brush.

"Arizona? Isn't that still a territory?"

 

[UselessIdiot]

I don't think that nows the time to half ass door to door canvasing.

Trump's ground game has been knocking on 1 million doors a week to shill for him since early August or even earlier. You can argue about registration deadlines, but the fact that it took 2 months to get out your people after your opponent is fucking horrendous planning.

Also, look at the states they are canvassing. Nevada and NH are already considered blue. Also notice where they aren't. Arizona and Florida, states that everyone is screaming about, are not in the cards. It should tell you exactly what they are seeing on their end. Keep in mind, potentially Minnesota can also flip. Epecially with these numbers from that Trump rally yesterday.

He is playing defense but decided to do so at the final quarter with a wonky scoreboard telling him he is always ahead. Good luck with that.

If the Biden campaign is bothering to canvas in Nevada and New Hampshire, it already seems like they're losing, polls be damned. Those states are only 10 electoral votes total. If they've already ceded Florida and Arizona, then they've pretty much ceded the election, unless they can flip the entire blue wall back.

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

"Arizona? Isn't that still a territory?"

Hell yeah. We da Wild, Wild West! Well, sorta since 1912, I believe. You still see happy AZ freeway signs celebrating 100 years of statehood, even though it was 8 years ago.

We don't care. We crazy and we ain't Cali!

 

[Atomic Wangler]

I'm living in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and I've seen nothing but pro-Biden anomalies. It's like a blue emmision out here.

Stalkers even have a nickname for Joe. They call him "Cheeki Breeki Biden."

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

I don't understand any of the Biden campaign strategy.

Either they feel that they've already won, and have the polls to back it up, so they can waste time and money farting around in safe blue zones

Or

They are so far behind that even the blue wall states are in jeopardy and he's gota go there in person to shore them up.

Either way I'm confuzzeled.

Not that anyone actually does, but when the left very occasionally mentions rail, it’s usually to complain that we don’t have better, more accessible transit options. Is that the point? Is Joe, a month away from the election, trying to make a point about the US needing more trains? Is the whole world insane?

Powerlevel, but when I was broke and couldn’t afford a car I took greyhound buses when I needed to get places. I have never taken an Amtrak anywhere.

The Northeast routes are relatively alright, mainly because the region is compact, and I assume Biden only takes the ones going into Washington Union Station. So let Sleepy Joe take a sleeper cross country and miss his rallies paid speeches.

The fact Democrats are retarded enough not to understand railroads were originally built by private companies or through a nationalized system with public-private partnerships shows when Commiefornia can't even finish the first phase line to buttfuck Fresno. Meanwhile, Trump has supported public-private partnerships in Florida and Texas for HSR, which are under construction and in the final planning stages within a much shorter timeframe respectively.

So, he's launching in-person canvassing for Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and New Hampshire, 30 days out from the election? I thought he had those states on a hard lockdown and was like 20+ points ahead of Trump. If he's doing so well in these states, why does he suddenly need to start playing defense in "safe" areas instead of focusing his campaign on actual battlegrounds?

Bit of an odd strategy for someone who's winning by such a wide margin, isn't it?

Ginsberg croaked and the ballot harvesting plan isn't going to fly anymore. It's why they suddenly started saying to vote in person.

I presume that internal polling is likely..you know accurate compared to the "Public" Polls who do stupid shit like asking double the number of Democrats.

 

[Ly Erg]

The only polls I've seen that are accurate tend to be the Exit Polls.

 

[Slappy McGherkin]

OKAY... Slappy "what if" time. The bartender has been abiding by my doubles rule. (She's a fookin' hottie!)

What if Sleepy Joe manages to reach in his rectum and get elected in Nov.???

I have not seen any discussion so far as what this really means to America? Obviously that's not what I want to happen. I'm as Republican Red as the dick on a dog.

But honestly, what happens at that point? All sperging gladly accepted because fuck...it's all it is at this point. Just curious what Farmers feel if this were to happen.

 

[legalkochi]

No one will believe that he got elected legitimately and that he got in with fraud.

Expect some major unrest to occur.

But anyway, that's not going to happen. The voter registration statistics for this election have been very good for Republicans in the key swing states and it also makes the assumption that the Trump administration is not going to do anything about the fraud...

Voter fraud schemes have already been exposed in places like Gregg County, TX, Harris County, TX and in Ilhan Omar's district. There's probably a lot more voter fraud schemes that will be uncovered as we get closer to the election.

This is something I've been meaning to post about for a while, especially with Biden calling lids every other day, because I think that might be of of the main things that ultimately sinks him.
Basically, while the polls aren't lying about Biden's lead, they're misleading. Biden does have the lead they say if, and only if, you factor in the people who are undecided/less likely to vote but who say they lean Biden. Among likely/enthusiastic voters Trump is fucking demolishing Joe. This is why I was going to argue that the lids have fucked Joe. At this point they've been running their campaign almost entirely on orange man bad/orange man russian puppet/orange man literally the reincarnation of Hitler etc etc.
The problem is we've had literally four fucking years of this shit, and if it wasn't enough to motivate those people by now, it was never going to work. Instead they needed to find another way to appeal to those people, and the best way to do that would have been for them to see the fucking candidate out and about on the trail talking about his policies and shit. Hell i've been following the election closer than probably 90% of Americans, and I still couldn't tell you what Joe's policies are because he will not fucking talk about them other than mouthing empty platitudes and vague fucking promises.

I feel like the Biden campaign took the massive, massive gamble that shit like orange man bad, kung flu, BLM/general injustice shit would be enough to carry them over the line. But with kung flu dying off, and public opinion turning due to the riots, they're scrambling to make up for it and they just don't have the time.

The biggest irony is people have been pointing out for 4 years that Clinton's lack of campaigning in the rust belt ultimately cost her and yet they made the same fucking mistake again, and I honestly could not love it more.

PS for anyone interested in the polling stuff I'd highly recommend the People's Pundit. The guy's an actual pollster who's done a fair amount of polling for this election, including crowdfunding a poll in Florida from his viewers, and he does regular podcasts on youtube where he talks a lot about methodology as well as sharing the actual numbers.

Or 3. Obama's warning rang true. "Don't underestimate Biden's ability to fuck things up."

Biden knows he needs the Rust Belt, and if he wanted to knock Trump out, take Florida, Ohio, and NC. He sees no path in those, so he must win the Rust Belt. So, he smartly has a fracking ban on his website and flipflops in the debate about it. He still bats for BLM even though their names are poison in MN and to a lesser extent WI. He goes on the Boomer train trying to copy Trump's airport rally style, but can't get the people in the seats of the recognition and viewership online.

Meanwhile, Trump and the family are going all out. That MN rally last night drew in 300k viewers online. Eric Trump is in Wisconsin, getting it ready for Big Don to 2 time rally in it soon. Jr is in Nevada, trying to rile up the northern rural parts to offset some of Las Vegas. Ivanka is in Orlando, FL, trying to win over Democrats. Same thing for Lara in Jacksonville, FL and NC. They are fucking everywhere and pulling big ass crowds to boot. And they are doing this EVERY week with an even more enthusiastic ground game holding rallies like WalkAway and Scott Pressler.

You know Biden would get Obama or Jay-Z or Beyonce like Hill did in 2016 and boast about it. But they can't.

I'll let this Biden spokesman comments 3 days apart from one another speak for itself. May be late, but who gives a fuck.


They either know they are losing or are too stupid to admit or see it.

 

[legalkochi]

Basically, while the polls aren't lying about Biden's lead, they're misleading.

Hard disagree. The polls are lying as they are weighing the polls based off of 2008 and 2012 election turnout (there will not be 90% of the black voting population turning out in 2020) and not on 2016 election turnout, as @RodgerDodger brought up previously in another thread. Very dishonest of them to do so. That's why I do not put any stock in the mainstream media polls.

That's not accounting for the shy Trump vote (or people who get called deciding to lie to the pollsters about voting for Biden but they'll actually vote Trump in the voting booth, or they don't respond). Remember that polls get an atrociously low response rate of like 3 to 5%. Not exactly a good sample size for a major election.

Oh, and don't forget that these polls seem to be significantly undercounting the rural vote. I have good reason to believe that turnout in the rural areas will be high enough that there will be lines for these polling places.

 

[Puff]

Those will be shit this year with all of the mail in

 

[BeboRefugee]

I'm curious of the math on ballot stuffing getting upheld by the Supreme Court any way.
Even if Ginsburg were alive, or Trump failed to get ACB in as the replacement, the court would still need a right wing appointee to tip the odds in their favour, likely Alito or Roberts.
My question then, for the Democrats, is why would Roberts help you to install Joe Biden when he's on record toying with packing the courts? Wouldn't such an action not only dilute his own authority but damn his legacy as being part of a thoroughly toxic roster whom the President had to intervene to unfuck?
We all know its not true but ushering in a Biden 2020 administration would make that the on-record history learned in 2120

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

I think the Inner Party's idea was a slow but steady trickle of Biden mail in ballots in all the key areas.

Almost untraceable and if they came in slow over a few weeks it probably wouldn't really seem that suspicious to the average Joe. And they were counting on RBG and co to allow them to count ballots even after the local deadline had expired.

Now with ACB possibly on the court all of that is junk as a conservative court would rule that the states are solely responsible for the ballot deadlines and all the lolsuits the DNC could launch wouldn't change a thing. So if they want to ballot stuff they're all going to have to show up within the state/county deadline thus a Biden win would but a lot more suspicious when 10,000K+ mail in ballots arrive just in the nick of time to win the county over and over and over. Even the most disinterested American might take notice at that right?

So hence the quick turn about on mail in ballots by the Inner Party.
