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?

Lastly, when Uncle Joe Stalin takes an Amazon Poll, as of ten minutes ago he sees your shit flying off the shelves, instead of having exactly two items from the first page of 60 results with more than one thousand reviews/ratings. (The Trump merchandise 2020 first page, also with 60 items, has fifteen items with more than one thousand reviews/ratings.)

Something I noticed on Amazon is that some of the highest-selling Biden items are books that don't show when you look for "Biden Merchandise 2020". There's a book about Joe's childhood by Jill Biden that has >1K reviews and another Kamala Harris book with a lot of reviews. Still, these items don't come close to Trump's top items like a flag with >5K reviews. Many Trump items are over 500 reviews and >200 is very common, whereas only a few Biden items are >500 and >200 is rare, Biden's highest sellers rarely go over 100.

75% of US Jews voting for Biden in US presidential election​

AJC poll shows just 22 percent of US Jews intend to vote to re-elect President Donald Trump​

It's all over for Drumpfh.

How is that different than every other election? Since 1992, I didn't care to look further back, an average of 76% of jews voted Democrat.

Hashtag NotRealJews.

I mean they mostly aren't. They joined the alumni association for the connections, not the message.

So when will Republicans get the message that Jews don't give two fucks about them other than the survival of Israel.

 

[Shield Breaker]

It's a leftover of the Religious Right, who thought by supporting Israel, they would be blessed by God. They confused modern Israel with the Biblical one.

 

[sperginity]

Imagine what a Joe Biden presidency would look like. Whenever a crisis or a scandal hits, is Joe going to throw down lids, and hide in the Oval Office until the coast is clear?

When they threw the Steele dossier/Russiagate shit at Trump, he went at it head on. He didn't pause for a second, or miss a step, he called it directly out as bullshit and he never flinched.

What the Hell kind of President will Joey Big Lids make? Do they think electing him will be like the Cowardly Lion being given courage? Do they think it won't just be more of the same weakness, fragility, and running and hiding? How is that the sort of President anybody could possible want?

Yes, I know. When they look at Joe, the only President they see is one in a broken heap at the bottom of a flight of stairs as he makes way for the stronk kween's ascension to the rightest side of history evar.

I don't know if he will even get sworn in before he is forced to let kamala take over due to a health problem. He is very clearly unwell.

Puppet that gets seated behind the Resolute desk occasionally for bill signings, Kamala is prez within a year. Much YAAAAS QWEENING ensues.

Imagine thinking women are so weak that they need BIDEN of all people to guide them to the presidency instead of winning fair and square.

Feminism everyone.

Well it's more than fundies believe that according to the book of revelations when the world ends judea doesn't exist anymore so they literally believe so long as the jews are over there no rapture will ever happen...

The part that worries me is that they think the rapture can happen if the jews get allahu ackbared.

Pretty funny considering the Rapture is a good thing and most should want it to happen.

I just can't understand how Jews can support the Democratic party when all signs show they will be the first ones to be purged when Social Justice becomes a common practice. Blacks are on top of the diversity stack and they don't give a shit that "Aktuali Jews aren't white", but do give a shit about Jewish neighborhoods being nicer than theirs.

And this is without mentioning how Biden will likely continue Obama's policies towards Israel, which is trying to force a 3 country solution which will split Jerusalem in half. A thing that literally goes against what Jews pray for, even in weddings.

Basically USA Jews deserve to be called Rootless cosmopolitans.

Some Jew poster said a while ago it's because majority of American Jews are secular atheists that hate their own religion for realz.

Reform jews despise the conservatism of orthodoxy. I have heard from a number of wealthy jewish democrats that the hasidics are all wrong and don't deserve the right to practice their religion. The orthodox and hasidics similarly despise reform jews.

I'm pretty sure they're all in for Israel for the purposes of ensuring the stability to allow the creation of the Third Temple, which they believe would kick off the events foretold in the book of Revelation.

I eagerly await for the Third Temple to begin construction during Trump's second term and for the US President to be given some amount of credit for the feat.

Trump Is Losing Ground With White Voters But Gaining Among Black And Hispanic Americans​

By Geoffrey Skelley and Anna Wiederkehr
Filed under 2020 Election
Published Oct. 19, 2020
There’s a well-known truth in politics: No one group swings an election.
But that doesn’t mean that the demographic trends bubbling beneath the surface can’t have an outsized effect. Take 2016. President Trump won in large part because he carried white voters without a college degree by a bigger margin than any recent GOP presidential nominee, though there had been signs that this group was shifting rightward for a while.
Likewise in 2018, a strong showing by Democrats in suburban districts and among white voters with a four-year college degree helped the party retake the House, a shift we first saw in 2016 when Trump likely became the first Republican to lose this group in 60 years.1 And this is just scratching the surface. In the past few years, we’ve also seen hints that more women voters are identifying as Democrats and that some nonwhite voters might be getting more Republican-leaning.
The question, then, in 2020 — as it is in every election — is what will the electorate look like this time around? Can we expect a continuation of what we saw in 2016 and 2018, or might some of those trends slow or reverse direction? And, of course, are there any surprises lurking beneath the surface that we haven’t quite identified yet?

We tried to answer this question by comparing data from the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study to 2020 data from Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape polling conducted over the past month.2 This comparison is hardly perfect — the 2016 CCES data is based on data from people who were confirmed to have actually voted while the UCLA Nationscape data is a large-scale survey of people who say they have voted or will vote, and the two studies use different methodologies, which could lead to differences in what types of voters were reached and how they were weighted. But this is as close as we can get to a direct comparison before the election, and it did allow us to identify some interesting trends.

[Live Updates: We’re Tracking The Vote And Voting Problems]

First off, Democratic nominee Joe Biden is attracting more support than Hillary Clinton did among white voters as a whole — especially white women, older white voters and those without a four-year college degree — which has helped him build a substantial lead of around 10 points, according to FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average. However, Trump is performing slightly better than last time among college-educated white voters, and he has gained among voters of color, especially Hispanic voters and younger Black voters.

White voters made up more than 7 out of 10 voters in the 2016 electorate according to CCES, so any large shifts in their attitudes could greatly alter the electoral calculus. And as the chart below shows, that’s more or less what has happened: Trump’s edge among white voters is around half of what it was in 2016, which could be especially consequential as this group is overrepresented in the states that are most likely to decide the winner of the Electoral College.
One factor driving this is that Biden looks to be doing better than Clinton among white voters without a college degree, a voting bloc that made up close to half of the overall electorate in 2016 and forms a majority of the population in key swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.3 While Clinton lost this group by more than 20 points four years ago, Biden is behind by just 12 points in UCLA Nationscape’s polling. This isn’t entirely a surprise: We saw some signs of Biden’s strength with non-college whites in the 2020 Democratic primary, as he did better than Clinton in counties that had larger shares of white Americans without a college degree. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why we’re seeing this, though. One possible explanation is that as an older white man, Biden just resonates more with these voters than Clinton did in 2016, especially considering the role sexism and racism played in voter attitudes in 2016. But it’s also possible that some of these voters are just turned off by Trump after four years with him in the White House.

Take white women. They backed Trump over Clinton in 2016 but were split pretty evenly between the two parties in the 2018 midterms. And now they favor Biden by 6 points in UCLA Nationscape polling, which would be around a 15-point swing toward the Democrats compared to what CCES found for the 2016 race. Trump has also taken a major hit among older white voters. In 2016, he won white voters age 45 or older by more than 20 points, but according to UCLA Nationscape polling, he now leads by only 4 points.

Trump isn’t losing ground among all white voters, though. White men, for instance, look likely to back Trump by around 20 points again. And Trump is also making inroads with college-educated white voters. Trump lost this group by more than 10 points in 2016, and Republican House and Senate candidates lost it by a similar margin in 2018, but Trump may be running closer to even among them now. As FiveThirtyEight’s Perry Bacon Jr. recently noted, many college-educated white voters are Republican-leaning, especially south of the Mason-Dixon line. The question will be whether Trump can attract support from this group nationally, as he’s already essentially got a lock on many Southern states (although maybe not as many Southern states as he’d like). Trump is currently polling at 49 percent among white, college-educated voters in UCLA Nationscape’s polling, and if he stays there, that could help him hold on to battleground states he carried in 2016, such as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas, where college-educated white voters are more likely to prefer the GOP.

Trump has also gained real ground among nonwhite voters. To be clear, he still trails Biden considerably with these groups, but in UCLA Nationscape’s polling over the past month, he was down by 39 points with these voters, a double-digit improvement from his 53-point deficit in 2016.

While older Black voters look as if they’ll vote for Biden by margins similar to Clinton’s in 2016, Trump’s support among young Black voters (18 to 44) has jumped from around 10 percent in 2016 to 21 percent in UCLA Nationscape’s polling. Black voters remain an overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning constituency, but a notable reduction in their support could still be a problem for Biden.
Notably, young Black voters don’t seem to feel as negatively about Trump as older Black Americans do. For instance, an early-July African American Research Collaborative poll of battleground states found that 35 percent of 18-to-29-year-old Black adults agreed that although they didn’t always like Trump’s policies, they liked his strong demeanor and defiance of the establishment. Conversely, just 10 percent of those 60 and older said the same.

It’s a similar story with younger Hispanic Americans, a group where Trump has also made gains. According to UCLA Nationscape’s polling, Trump is attracting 35 percent of Hispanic voters under age 45, up from the 22 percent who backed him four years ago in the CCES data.
Most notably, even though Trump stands to gain with nonwhite voters across the board, his support seems to have risen the most among Hispanic voters with a four-year college degree. We don’t want to overstate the influence of this group — they make up about 2 percent of the population age 25 and older nationwide — but they are disproportionately concentrated in one especially vital swing state: Florida. In fact, 24 percent of Hispanic Floridians have a college degree, compared to 16 percent of Hispanic adults nationally.4 So even if Trump isn’t doing as well among older white voters, his gains among Hispanic voters, including highly educated ones, could offer a path to victory in the Sunshine State.

One last point on where Trump has made gains among Black and Hispanic voters: He has done particularly well with Black and Hispanic men, which might speak to how his campaign has actively courted them. For instance, the Republican National Convention featured a number of Black men as speakers this year. And Politico talked with more than 20 Democratic strategists, lawmakers, pollsters and activists who explained that many Black and Latino men are open to supporting Trump as they think the Democratic Party has taken them for granted. The same can’t be said of Black and Hispanic women, though, and the gender gap among nonwhite voters is shaping up to be even bigger than it was in 2016. Ninety percent of Black women supported Biden in UCLA Nationscape polling — unsurprising, as this group is arguably the most staunchly Democratic demographic in the electorate — whereas less than 80 percent of Black men did the same. And among Hispanic voters, 64 percent of women backed Biden compared to 57 percent of men.

---

In the end, elections are all about margins. That means Biden doesn’t necessarily have to win more white voters than Trump to win the election; he just needs to improve on Clinton’s performance four years ago. By the same token, if Trump can do better among nonwhite voters than he did in 2016 — even if he still doesn’t win them outright — that could open a door for him to win if white voters don’t shift toward Biden as much as the polls currently suggest.

But at the moment, the real margin to keep an eye on is Biden’s double-digit lead in the polls. That kind of advantage will be hard to overcome if Trump is merely chipping away at the edges of Biden’s support, especially when so many of Biden’s gains seem to have come at Trump’s expense.

We don't support israel to make jews vote one way or the other. We support israel to keep the middle east focused on them instead of us.

*Plus a whole host of good reasons to support an enthusiastic ally.

I read a while back about Reform Jews replacing their religeous tenets with progressive ideology, which explains a lot about why they zealously push this insanity.

Tragically, Jews almost always support the candidate most likely so seek their extermination. There's been a lot written about it, mostly by based Jews. I think it's a matter of trying to fit in, the same way modern reporters are less interested in the truth than in the admiration of other reporters.
