Can you articulate a reason why?

Reuters World News, September 1st, 2020:
"Exclusive: Russian operation masqueraded as right-wing news site to target U.S. voters - sources."

“[...] the overall strategy looks unchanged: energise Trump supporters, depress support for Biden, and target both sides with divisive and polarising messages,”

Works.

If Biden win the election...will the American see a miracle in the streets ?

Where there are riots and other things in the street before the result of the election is ready ....and a few second after Biden has won, it's suddenly silent.

Because it will likely be close. Because if it is close, there will be some cheating and fudging. On both sides. And because of the covid mess and mail in ballots, I don't have a lot of faith in the US Postal Service. It could be like 2000 all over again:

"How many mail in ballots are left to count?"

"How many do we need?"

But who knows, maybe Trumpy's recklessness will catch up with him and Mike Pence will be the 11th hour candidate. Here's hoping!

Biden wins...? Trump already now delitimises the election, calls rightwing extremists to wait for further calls, he will declare himself winner, demand recounts, file lawfiles, raise doubts... And all his accomplices in ranks and offices will assist him.FF
In the end it will be the Supreme Court with 6 to 3 conservative judges, three of them being ultraconservative Trump nominees.

Now that the POTUS and FLOTUS have tested positive for COVID-19 what possible consequence could there be for the election?

an opportunity to bow out of the race and bring an end to this side show

If he survives, he will boast even louder how harmless Corona is...

But the hope dies last. I would like to see Putins face, though.

Nice pun there Sky ... you can't hide your intentions of using that word.

Good thing Trump is not a member or you would be in big trouble with August and Jim

Skybird · 10-02-20, 05:09 AM

What pun? That I would prefer a world without Trump is no secret. I strictly reject to rate the interests of 330 million citizens and a world with 8 billion as lower than the personal interest of one man with a ruinous character and highly destructive personality. The servility of many Americans towards their political office holders reminds of the relation between peasants and aristocratic noblemen, the blind trust in the system that many hold up, to me is pure naivety, and I do not share both. I thought this kind of blind obedience towards authorities and state institutions were just a German thing. Wrong was I.

Due to Trumps anti-corona agitation and politicising, tens of thousands more of Americans died who would not have needed to die. Hundreds of thousands more than inevitable got infected, with often desastrous consequences for their health and existence, due to the Trumpmans notorious agitation and obstructionism. It would only be fair and just if Trump now falls victim to what he has ridiculed and minimised and lied about all the time, and suffers the afte that he has brought about thosunds and thosuands by his iown decisions and his own political. Read that again: fair and just it would be. Fair and just.

Maybe its not kind to say that out loud, but I dont care. Many think so and think they must remain silent, for politeness. I care so much.

I also regretted that Bolsonare survived.

2020 just keeps getting better and better.

Better than Bush vs Gore

Better than Trump vs Clinton

What's left? Biden gets the virus too?

hard to say if he survives. Would voters on the fence be more inclined to vote for him?

more interesting discussion is what happens if, unfortunately, he dies before the election? I am guessing the contest would then be Pence vs Biden. Would Trump's untimely death give Pence a sympathy boost? maybe.

President Pence....has a nice ring to it.

p.s. my sympathies and hope for a speedy recovery to Trump and Melania. It is a horrible disease and I would not wish it on anyone. A friend of mine had it and she described it as the worst flu you have ever had multiplied by a factor of 10.
