Why is money spent important to the particular candidate's virtues?

How did we, as a group, become educated that money wins elections?

Biden is literally saying to people, in political ads in the USA, "your life depends on your vote"

He is legitimately going to the very base instinct, you will die if you do not vote for me.

Basic trolling technique. The less he says the more you have to read into his posts to make sense of them so the more ways he can claim you are taking him the wrong way if you take the bait.

Dump shifts from we'll see to maybe not on peaceful transfer if he loses.

Trump Tells Supporters He's Iffy on a Peaceful Transfer of Power if He Loses the Election

Quote:
Speaking in Circleville, Ohio, the commander in chief pondered why he should ensure a peaceful transition when he said the previous administration treated him so unfairly: “They ask me, ‘If you lose, will there be a friendly transition?’ Well, when I won, did they give me a friendly transition? They spied on my campaign, they did all this stuff. That was not a friendly transition.”
It will be so embarrassing if this whiney bully wins again. At least I'm pretty sure that if he's declared the loser the appropriate authorities will see to it that he's escorted to the place that isn't the White House and the various bureaus and agencies will respond to the new president, whether the tangerine tantrum babby likes it or not. Only worry is if it's close in some critical state(s) and the Supremes get involved, pretty sure things will go in his favor whether the facts support the outcome or not.

I hadn't done the math in a while, so it just hit me that there are only EIGHT days left.

I should have made an advent calendar or something.

Trump plans to declare premature victory if he appears ahead on election night - Axios

From the linkTrump has privately talked through this scenario in some detail in the last few weeks, describing plans to walk up to a podium on election night and declare he has won. For this to happen, his allies expect he would need to either win or have commanding leads in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Iowa, Arizona and Georgia. [...]

Many prognosticators say that on election night, Trump will likely appear ahead in Pennsylvania — though the state's final outcome could change substantially as mail-in ballots are counted over the following days. Trump's team is preparing to claim baselessly that if that process changes the outcome in Pennsylvania from the picture on election night, then Democrats would have "stolen" the election.


We guessed, but now it's official.

Taking this as an encouraging sign. Pennsylvania Democrats are kicking the crud out of it in early voting. About double the early ballot request rate and around 10 point higher returned ballet rate.

Pennsylvania Early Voting Statistics

Supposedly Redpublicans are hot to vote on the morrow, but idk, they don't seem that motivated so far. It would be grand if Dump's been stumping like mad in PA only to find he's come up short. At any rate doesn't seem he's been doing anything more than getting his usual disciples all lathered up. Don't see how doing what he's already been doing the last 4 years is going to have any new result all of a sudden.

Ambivalence. I both do and do not wish to see the words 'sectarian violence' applied to a story about the USA.

Stay safe, y'all.

If Joe Biden wins, illegal aliens will sniff our savior Donald J. Trump.

That is precisely WHY I voted for Biden.
