That and: 1) She was really disliked (whether you think it was valid reasons or not is subject for another debate) by a good number of votes which Donnie took full advantage of in his campaigning 2) She really gave *no reason* to vote for her other than "other guy is a piece of ****"...."vote for me"! She didn't give enough reasons why people should vote for her. You need more than "don't vote for him". She campaigned as badly as Scheer in our election.

America to get it in January - let's cut her some slack. I am sure it's very hard to conduct an interview when you're rudely getting interrupted by the interviewers breathing - I mean who breathes when they're on tv? Totally unprofessional. I think Daniel Negreanu said it best: That interview couldn't possibly have gone worse for her. She came off as a completely out of touch moron. I'll be shocked if she's re-elected. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't give enough reasons why people should vote for her. You need more than "don't vote for him". She campaigned as badly as Scheer in our election. I think there was an element of both of those things, but the "being disliked" thing is true of every politician. As far as a reason to vote for her, I don't really agree. Trump was voted in largely because he convinced people that they had never had it so bad and it was going to take a non-politician like him to fix it. Hillary had a ton of political experience They were literally polar opposites in that regard. Even with that, she carried the popular vote. The problem was, voters in swing states believed Trump's lies and vague promises of making things better for them. I stand by my assertion that if the Bernie Bros hadn't stayed home, (or voted for Trump out of spite) it would have been enough to swing the election in her favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the same, a small percentage of the population votes. A.k.a., people with serious money to either gain or lose. I guess if I was faced with that idiot I might have actually lowered my standards and voted. Republicans vs Democrats, A shining example of why the voting process is so flawed. Those people don't even vote for what they believe in, they just vote for their favorite color, which is pretty similar here. Brutally undercutting of intelligence. And after voting all of those voters are left with zero input except to take what these nimrods shove up there arse's. I would have voted Sanders. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a schmuck (hey, let's keep 'Spring Break' going doing this virus outbreak) like that has no chance of being re-elected even with the WWE money helping to fund his campaign. But look at the Dem candidate he beat in his last election (a sad case) what he did in his life. Edited April 23, 2020 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covering up your own statistics is one thing, but to send out propaganda to hurt other economies? If China was caught doing that, say goodbye to all their trade deals, that would backfire so bad it wouldn't even be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I'll complain all I want. That statement people make is one of the most head-scratching ones out there. You don't get a say after you vote whether you vote for the winner or the loser. So what do you expect, the people that didn't vote for the current ahole get to whine and complain, while those that voted the current leadership just sit back and shut up?

And after voting all of those voters are left with zero input except to take what these nimrods shove up there arse's. I would have voted Sanders. lol I think that a big part of the problem is that people have this "perfect candidate" in mind, whenever it comes time to vote. The reality is, that one man or woman who's platform and beliefs exactly mirror your own, doesn't exist. Sometimes you just have to take the BPA. It should have been obvious to American voters that Trump was woefully unqualified to be POTUS, but in what I can only describe as a moment of madness, they decided that lacking qualification was a reason to vote for him. IMHO, that has continually blown up in their faces over the past 3 and a half years.... A big part of the issue with Trump isn't even his lack of qualification and experience. It's his refusal to admit that he lacks those qualities. If he'd truly surrounded himself with "the best people" as he promised, America (and the world) would be in a better place. Unfortunately, in his blinding ignorance, he believes that he knows better than any expert and instead of "the best people", has installed people loyal to him personally. I've said this before: To any rational thinker who wants to see someone in the White House who truly has their interests at heart rather than his own, it shouldn't matter who the democrats nominated. Biden, Sanders, Warren Buttigieg, Yang, even Bloomberg......any of them is a vast improvement over Donald Trump and the whole "Why should I vote? Everyone sucks!" routine is just lazy and uninformed and is exactly the kind of attitude that stuck the world with Trump and his cadre of crooks in the first place. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as people that vote don’t matter, that’s very asinine statement. Those that voted for Trump sure do matter, because he won, it’s very simple concept.

Here's what I think the timeline could be in the relaxing of the rules currently in place: - Beds Opened up for elective surgeries - Special needs students in limited class sizes go back (part or full time) - Regular Students in lower grades (K to 7) part time schooling (two days a week) smaller classes, Social Distancing if possible, No Recess or Play time - Regular Students in High School part time schooling 1 day a week, smaller classes, Mostly E-Learning - All Schools must be thoroughly cleaned every day (increase janitorial staff) - Non-essential retail opened up with social distancing measures similar to grocery stores limited number of people at any one time, possibly mandate face mask use and the cleaning of hands with sanitizer before entering. - Restaurants open up again but with spacing restrictions, limiting contact with servers (i.e. using note pads to order) hand sanitizers at every table. Initially only allow members of the same household at a table - Large gatherings will still be discouraged (I think enforcement may be stepped up) Social Distancing will still be in place when walking inside or outside. - Local amateur sports tournaments may be allowed if contact is minimal and number of spectators is limited - Unless a Vaccine is found, no major sporting events, festivals or large gatherings will be taking place. I don't see anyway that schools are re-opening for this school year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
