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?

I could never work retail, I'd be telling these bitches constantly that I am the manager just to get them to chimp out. Plus I see humanity at its dumbest anyway. You'd probably say why not get paid for it, but at least around here it's at safe levels.
Working the returns section of a Wally World is the equivalent of Chernobyl in that regard.

I was a manager. Of course, I did have superiors, and that's why I don't want to work retail in customer-facing capacities anymore given a choice in the matter.

One of the best moments I had in retail was when I was young and just promoted to supervisor. On the same day this exact scenario happened. It was great. Otherwise I hated retail and customer service. I am so glad I’m done dealing with soccer moms - I don’t think people used the term Karen back then- and other entitled customers.
As a kid I preferred working in landscaping and even fast food over retail. The only reason I was promoted at all was because of the high turnover. Retail was so soul crushing. It was my least favorite entry level job I ever had.

Black men are voting for Trump because of chauvinism: Former NAACP president
https://sneed.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/_ECViOLXuN6ASwIxe6vYBg--~B/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD0yMDA7dz0yMDA7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/https://sneed.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2018-11/79892b50-e68d-11e8-9fff-31a933ada353.cf.jpgKristin Myers
Black men who choose to vote for Donald Trump are doing so because of chauvinism, said former NAACP president Ben Jealous.While research indicates that more than 80%of Black voters will vote for Democrats, large differences remain between Black men and women. According to Pew Research, 87% of Black women identify as Democrat, compared to 77% of Black men.
In the 2016 election, 98% of Black women voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump — compared to just 81% of Black men who voted for Clinton that year, according to validated election results.
“The reason why you see white men, brown men, Black men, all voting at higher rates for Trump than the women in each category, frankly, is his appeal to a chauvinism, to machismo, to patriarchy, by whatever name you call it,” Jealous told Yahoo Finance. “And so what you see is in group after group, he trends higher with men.”
Jealous, the current president of People for the American Way, explained that Trump’s “strong man persona” and was one that some men feel is “the most valuable thing they have.”
The Black vote is critical to both Democrats and Republicans, and the Trump campaign has been trying to double support from 6% in 2016 to 12% this year.

Celebrities like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Ice Cube have all voiced support for President Trump or his policies, citing his “Platinum Plan” — Trump’s “promise” to Black America and his tax policies which they say are better for higher bracket earners than Biden.
Jealous says that Trump’s funding of HBCU’s isn’t swaying Black voters to vote for Republicans.
“There's a White House Office on HBCUs. It's not new to Trump, and Trump has no history with HBCUs prior to coming into office. It's just simply a virtue of who's ever in the White House, [that] there is a White House Office on HBCUs,” he said.
As the Black vote bloc increases in importance, voter suppression — including long wait times — continues to disproportionately impact minority communities.
Voting problems
Studies have found that Black communities face longer wait times to vote than their white counterparts, while the Bipartisan Policy Center found that “over 560,000 eligible voters failed to cast a ballot because of problems related to polling place management, including long lines.”Using data from the 2016 election, research shows that Black voters wait nearly 30% longer than their white counterparts, while Black neighborhoods were approximately 75% more likely to wait 30 minutes or more.

Jealous said that the Black vote has been targeted as a “high impact” way to “hurt Democrats.”
And with high levels of frustration in the Black community toward politicians of any party around economic issues like poverty, the Black vote has been “fertile ground for mischief and confusion,” Jealous added.
“I'm glad to see, quite frankly, Biden competing more for the Black male vote,” he said. “Democrats absolutely have to be making the case to their base and making it clear how they're going to improve people's lives. But there's no denying that, from the Russians to the far-right wing, there has been intentional targeting of the Black vote, and specifically of younger Black voters, and even within that, Black men who, frankly, have sky-high joblessness in many places.”
But Democrats will have to be held accountable to promises made to minority voters, and to policies that will benefit their communities.
But first, Jealous explained, is ensuring that the majority-rule works in the Senate so that the country doesn’t see a “minority of Republican senators hold the nation hostage when it comes to making progress.”

The author looks like she’s a mulata from the video although initially I thought she was white from her profile picture. I bring it up because I’ve noticed sometimes that people will compensate with wokeness when they fear that they’ll be seen as “not a minority” and they are the ones that are the most likely to call out dissenting minorities.
*Edit* huh apparently mulata has negative connotations in English according to a Google search. Is that true? Maybe it’s something I haven’t ran into it and I always thought it was a neutral term like mestizo.

At 13:30 he had a Jeb! moment. You can see him think "Please Honk".
He also looks totally deranged saying "Donald Trump" in the moment leading up to it. Holy shit.

Honestly I don’t think it’s good for any group when their vote isn’t competitive. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Republicans or Democrats but if either party thinks you’ll vote for them anyways, why would they bother to do anything for you? The worst thing about living in a solid blue or red area is that there’s no motivation to change or to actually accomplish anything for the community, the city, the state, etc.

Facts!!! It's possible my own state could go a certain way but it's a long shot. Also the solid red/blue states make me feel sorry for Democrats in Texas or Republicans in California.
You just feel like your vote doesn't count. I'm sure mine won't do any good either way.

I just want to make sure that you understand northern Ohio is part of the rust belt. I'm not even sure why he'd bother going to the rust belt/Midwest after saying he's going to kill oil and coal, how exactly is he going to bring manufacturing back to them like that?

He openly spouts off Great Reset catchphrases. The Democrats have exactly 0 intention of bringing Manufacturing back. In fact, they hope to continue to drive it out of the US to other regions better suited for it.

Lol I'm actually in there somewhere in that line of cars. I was part of the Trump Train yesterday that stopped on the Tappan Zee. It was actually multiple Trump trains that met up - there were a bunch of them that all headed North. I was part of one that started around Howard Beach, Queens and headed down Crossbay then Woodhaven and headed North. Lol the whole train blew the lights all the way down Woodhaven until getting on the LIE and meeting up with other trains. We passed tons of people before we got on the highway honking horns at us and waving - at least in my part of Queens it seems like Trump support is very high.

'Our map has expanded' in final days of the race: Biden campaign senior adviser
JOHN VERHOVEKSun, November 1, 2020, 11:27 AM PST
With just two days to go until Election Day, Biden campaign senior adviser Anita Dunn expressed confidence in the Democratic nominee's path to 270 electoral votes and argued that their map has "expanded."
"As we've gotten closer to the election, instead of the number of contested battleground states shrinking, which is normally what you see at this point in the campaign ... the number is actually expanded, so that we're now campaigning also, in Georgia, in Iowa, in Ohio," Dunn told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."
Pressed on whether she believes the race will be decided on election night, Dunn said she did not know for sure. She singled out Pennsylvania, a battleground state critical to both campaigns' path to victory, as a state where the result may take a few days to determine.
With a surge in mail-ballots, counting all of the votes may take time, Stephanopoulos reminded viewers on Sunday, adding that "everyone watching at home should know that is not a sign that anything has gone wrong."

"Obviously three big battleground states may be slower to count their votes. Pennsylvania in particular," Dunn said. "But, Georgia and North Carolina and Florida are all states that I think we can reasonably assume we're going to hear results from either election night or early the next morning."
Dunn also accused the Trump campaign of trying to suppress votes.
"We may know the results election night, we may know them the next day. But one thing that is clear though, is that we're going to make sure all of the votes get counted. There's only one campaign -- and that's the Trump campaign -- that thinks they have to suppress votes in order to win," Dunn said.

Dunn also hedged on whether the nation will hear directly from Biden on election night, saying the entire campaign will be focused on making sure all votes are counted.
"I think it will depend on where we are in the results. Obviously you don't want to go out prematurely. But you're certainly going to hear from the campaign. You may very well hear from the vice president. I think that we'll all just be concentrating on working up to the moment the polls close to get those votes. And then to make sure every vote gets counted," Dunn said.

The Biden campaign has announced that the candidate plans to "address the nation on Election Night in Wilmington, Delaware," according to a release sent Saturday afternoon. Biden will be joined in his hometown by his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris and their spouses.

Dunn also laid out the Biden campaign's strategy of defending states Hillary Clinton won as the Democratic nominee in 2016 that the Trump campaign has been targeting like Nevada, Minnesota, Virginia and Colorado, while attempting to expand the map into states like Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina to maximize their path to victory.
The Trump campaign has maintained that they see a path to 270 electoral votes by holding key Rust Belt states like Michigan and Wisconsin and pulling off another victory in Pennsylvania, a state where Trump and Biden are campaigning aggressively this weekend.
Two new polls out Sunday conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post shows Biden maintaining a slightly narrowed seven-point edge over the president in Pennsylvania, while Trump holds a 2-point edge, within the poll's margin of error, in the all-important swing state of Florida.
In the final days of the 2020 race, Biden has prioritized an array of battleground states his campaign said will give them multiple paths to win the White House.

On Saturday, Biden hit the critical swing state of Michigan alongside his one-time running mate, former President Barack Obama. Both men delivered blistering critiques of the current occupant of the Oval Office.
"No matter how many threats (Trump) makes, America will be heard. When America’s heard I believe the message is going to be loud and it’s going to be clear. It's time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home!” Biden told supporters at a rally in Flint, Michigan.
"(Trump's) still talking about his inauguration crowd being small. ... Does he have nothing better to worry about? That was four years ago. I mean, what kind of trauma did he go through? Did no one come to his birthday parties when he was a kid?" Obama said at a later rally in Detroit.
In the final days of the campaign, Biden is going all in on Pennsylvania, holding two events in Philadelphia on Sunday. The entire Democratic ticket and their spouses will mount a final barnstorm of the state on Monday.
In addition to touting the campaign's electoral strategy, Dunn responded to comments made by Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller earlier on "This Week" that attempted to back up President Donald Trump's unfounded claim that doctors are inflating the number of COVID-19 deaths to make more money.
"I'm astonished that Jason Miller spent as much time as he did without ever saying that the doctors who are on frontlines in this coronavirus crisis that this country faces, without ever defending them. And without ever basically saying, 'No they're not in it for money.' These people have been risking their lives since the beginning of this crisis," Dunn said.
"It tells you everything you need to know about the difference between the Trump campaign and the Biden campaign. And between Donald Trump and Joe Biden," she added. "We saw for the first time over 100,000 new cases in one day this week -- 1,000 people a day dying on average now. Jason Miller and the Trump campaign, they feel that that's virtually no one, but there were 1,000 families in this country who lost someone yesterday. There are 1,000 more that will lose someone today and those are not virtually nobody."
