Bad ratio of votes to electorals, was very close and i think she conceded too early honestly

I dont see why we cant vote on our smartphones with a picture of us and a fingerprint that way we get 90% of our population voting instead of 40% ( well now this year it will be 60% )

not including illegals or dead people

Because there would never be a Republican President for the foreseeable future. Very few governors and Senators. And the house would be 66% or more Democratic once districts were fixed.

The dynamic in this country is such that one party benefits from voter suppression and low turnout and the other benefits from high turnout of anyone with a pulse regardless of citizenship.

Your piddly excuses will again lead you to endless screaming come November 4th.

Try a blue jacket this year, it fits the mood better.

Thread went to crap because forum mod tossed every thread somewhat political into a "election megathread."

No focused discussion. No nuanced discussion. If they wanted Twitter in one thread of factless dunking on each other, they got it. Dumb move.

RIP political discussion. Thank you censorship overlords [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I asked you if you knew the difference between an influenza virus and a corona virus you called me a draconian Marxist.

You're right that they are different categories of virus, but corona viruses are not uniquely dangerous just by virtue of being corona viruses. The reason people are comparing this to the flu is because we do not take such drastic measures to prevent the spread of the flu. The current virus at issue almost never kills young people, whereas influenza frequently does. There is certainly a lot more to be learned about it, but the scientific method reveals new information every day about any given disease. We certainly understand it better now than we did in January or February, and the fundamental question continues to be: is it worth the collateral impacts of locking down state and local economies indefinitely to control the spread of sars-cov-2 given it's apparent danger profile? It really should not be a partisan question, the fact that the answer breaks almost perfectly upon partisan political lines is alarming.

But yes though, it is worth it. Had we not the estimates are around 2 million americans, by trumps and the CDC count.

Also, the important thing about drastic measures for flu and why we dont do them is known: coronaviruses rarely infect humans and mutate slowly, so when they do you can quarantine them and they will die. Influenza you cannot do that, because of the way they mutates very quickly.

Covid: 1-2 years of hard work, save a lot of lives.
Flu: you would have to live like this forever to save lives every year, and that's asking too much.

It's not like I want to outlaw going outside because muggings happen, you know?

And as for the economy, trumps portion of the job was to make that work while the medical pro's do the medicine, but he got it backwards.
