2020 Election MEGAthread

[Castle2.0]

If someone had the flu in that situation we would also have a similar number of people sick with flu. Corona will get added into the flu shot like H1N1 was and we'll move past it.

The coverage of Corona would be very different under a dem president and/or not in an election year. But here we are.

Nothing he said cost us lives, we know how bad covid is yet when all the millenials went back to college they started partying

Why are you bringing up Millennials? Outside of some late starters or people returning for a Masters/PhD the vast majority of Millennials would have been finished with college like two years ago.

many levels of involvement here. its not like the military is always sitting around waiting for president orders

It’s well documented Obama was an intricate part of capturing Osama and there’s a picture of him in the situation room while it was happening. Literally a simple google search would stop you from looking like a dumbass. Stop doing drugs.

This wasn't even that long ago. How many drugs are these people on?

Because he has no idea that he's a millennial himself.

Those people enjoy generous social benefits, universal healthcare, massive education investment, strong government oversight and investment in physical and social infrastructure to ensure fairness and equality of opportunity. Free enterprise is allowed, but only when conducted with proper values, and businesses deemed parasitic or exploitative are nationalized by the government.

Thank you. This is the key difference when people just talk about some authoritarian regime and call it fascist. Same thing with most Muslim countries. They're into the umma, they have all these benefits, economy check, values check, why are they not fascist? Because it's religion based. It comes from above. It's not an innate feeling. Same thing with all these banana states. People say this guy is fascist or that guy, but is he trying to unify the nation into one body? No, just some regular oppressor. That state exists only as long as the guy or his family is in power. A true fascist state aims to last forever, or well, at least 1000 years.

You forgot the coffee cup salute. Fox news spent two weeks on it!

Was the flag pin Obama? I remember the tv being mad about a flag pin

This is exactly like pushing a urine-soaked Russian Conspiracy and calling him Putin's puppet for 150 straight weeks twenty four hours a day without any actual basis in fact.

While petty, both of your examples are actually true.

But yes, of course the other side is going to endlessly and needlessly criticize the other side whoever is in power, and their media organs and supporters will follow suit.

I'm surprised this is even an argument. Of course people talked shit about Obama, and before that Bush, and before that Clinton, it never ends on both sides.
