TOPIC: Election Predictions

Oh yes I agree 1000% he is a shitty ass president and person but I believe they should be judged independently. My favourite was Bernie but since he withdrew I am supporting Biden by default.

I can understand if someone listens to this fact 24/7 one might begin to completely pin the blame on Trump, but it's simply not the case. In the United States you'll feel the biggest impact from government on a local level rather than a federal one. Trump definitely should have urged his supporters to wear more masks, follow social distancing measures, and he was ignorant for not doing so. However, it's just completely disingenuous for anyone to try and put those 200,000 dead on his hands. Ultimately it's at the fault of failure on a state and local government level, our healthcare systems fault for relying on outside country manufacturing for things like medicine and PPE that led our health and safety workers to be unprepared. New York and Florida specifically were demonstrable failures just to name a few.
Agreed, bad decisions both politically and socially.
I think this is referencing his tax cuts a few years back that benefitted largely big business. Ultimately I don't think it's a bad thing, most american families got tax credits if they had children as well as tax cuts. Is it the most progressive initiative? No. But, no doubt the Economy was the best it's ever been for a lot of families. Even 56% of people said they're better off than they were 4 years ago and that was a statistic taken during the time of a pandemic. (Link to Article here.)
Indeed something he fail to get done. I feel he would have made more progress with a Republican controlled House & Senate but this is the real world and things rarely ever go the way people think they will.
I don't believe it was a targeted Muslim ban, as I had heard the countries he used for the ban were taken from the Obama Administration years prior. People can debate if it was a Muslim targeted ban, but it's just down to who you support and who you don't in my opinion.

Not sure what the war is in reference to, but Trump has been actively avoiding war. People all predicted when he got elected he would somehow bring about a nuclear holocaust, but trump in fact has been staying out of these needless foreign wars. In the United States there are "warmongers" who seemingly just want to send kids to their death in these countries just to make money off the war machine and this is something trump has always been against and definitely a distinctive difference between him and the last republican in office, George Bush. As for the wall, over 400 new miles of border wall have been built. Some of that has been on fortifying and rebuilding previous barriers put in place, but that's expected.

Hi @Morgan thanks for the response.
1. Obviously 200,000+ deaths aren't solely Trumps fault, it's the fault of the virus, but yes that number would be much lower if he didn't perpetuate various myths about the virus and told people to follow the scientists.
2. Before taking power, Trump said he wanted a ban on Muslims entering the country, and all countries chosen had a high Muslim population as opposed to a high terrorism security concern. That's a reason many call it a Muslim Ban.
3. The war thing is referring to when Trump killed an Iranian general at the start of the year and tensions were incredibly high.
4. Though many miles of wall have been built, only 15 (as of now) are actually new (out of the promised 450-500 new miles), so barely any actual progress has been made on creating the wall he promised. The funding of it was actually done by America itself, causing a government shutdown and Trump declaring a National Emergency in order to redirect other money to it.

american politics is too difficult for me to understand but im hoping trump does not win for the sake of america

its over, it was clear that biden would win on nov 4th already. trump lost.

Vladimir Putin for the win

Well at the moment GA and NV are sitting at blue so it is literally impossible for Trump to win now unless both of them shift to red. Looks like Biden is going to win after all.

Edit: Biden doesn't even need GA to win, just NV, so /shrug

biden won

PA has called Joe Biden, bringing him up to 273 electoral college votes. Joe Biden is now the 46th President of the United States (unless voter fraud is found).

It appears my sources were not correct, I will be unlocking this immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience!

ChuteUK with the next level bait, saying trump will be in white house day after he posted his message.
Biden does not become president until january 20th.
Also, its over; it was obvious from the beginning trump did not have a chance of winning.
