Sadly as you know that is not a recommendation, the electorate here and in the USA deserve better, it's like being asked which nut do you want squeezed by nut crackers, the right or the left.

It's like stuffing a bad team at football. You can only beat what's in front of you. Neither great but in USA they have to get rid of the tyrannical buffoon (bit like Boris really but that's for another day), kick on and see where they go from there.

As for the nuts, it depends who's doing the squeezing and how hard. <whistle> <yikes>

Agreed Clifton but surely the Democrats are the less worse of the two? I won't bite on Brexit though. <whistle>

In previous times I would have said yes e.g. Al Gore. Now I am not so sure.

Trump has not started any wars, has not done many of the things people said he would (the economy was flourishing not wrecked) and as an onlooker looking at a the parallel universe it appears to myself the Democrats have been very good at sowing division - They have show zero responsibility at what has occurred in Democrat Cities e.g. Portland.

We were told to expect a landslide. It has not occurred. A significant minority of Americans feel Trump is the best choice. If it was not for the corona virus Trump wins (?). Trump? That can be an indicator of how the Democrats morality is also viewed.

I've just seen that 35% of Muslims voted for Trump - pretty incredible statistic considering the rhetoric that comes from him at times. Or maybe it says more about Biden, I don't know.

Apparently a large percentage of black voters, (especially black women) and Latinos backed Trump, quite strange being he was accused of racism by the media and such!!

my friend is the lead on design and trial of un manned aircraft … commonly known as drones! He is currently working in Dorset, on a base that has new squaddies doing training … there initiation is to drink the contents of a 200ml 80 proof sanitizer! apparently none are known to have had covid and none have died! ….lol
 
Strangely enough Trump has tried to implement his legal options to regain the presidency without actually winning the right. He has filed 4 cases which supposedly are based on fraudulent ballots being counted and so far 2 states have told him to get lost (a good suggestion at any time during the last four years) and he was told his claims have no substance.

In states where Trump is leading he wants the poll count to stop but in the states where he is losing he strangely wants the ballots to be recounted (presumably that would be ballots for the Democrats only) and fake ones thrown out. He has lost some states based on not being able to keep his big mouth short and when he said that all the Americans who died for their country in recent conflicts were all losers you can see why. He recently said that dying from Covid19 was great for the medical community because apparently doctors get more money when they attend those cases ( true or not I don't know).

The vast majority of these armed to the teeth militia are Trump supporters because he promised to liberalize the current gun legislation to open up more weaponry for the masses, so if you feel like buying your own surface to air missiles then the good old U.S.A. is right up your street. The main concern now is what will happen on the streets of America after the real results have been counted, and believe me that could include unthinkable possibilities.

not all that up on how the states actually "blend in" with each other.
I cant understand why Biden wanted to stand in the first place has some serious undergoing medical problems, is rich enough even in these troubled times to go around the world in a sea going luxury yacht and enjoy his last couple of years on the planet... what i have been led to believe that the female vice president...should it go his way ...is a real militant and unpopular person …..
civil war? in a country as USA?NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITY ! also I would be very scared of an assassination attempt or 2 !

For years I have been looking forward to seeing Trump preaching his bizarre mantra, then a red dot appearing on his forehead and boom!!!

No such luck as he is too well guarded. I suppose him being brought down in the election is the best we can hope for. His continued behaviour like a spoiled little boy who has had his toys taken off him would be comedy gold were it not for the likely repercussions from his red necked, gun toting supporters.

As Mike and realred have said, the reactions over there could be frightening and far reaching.

Anyway guys, as this is a football forum, how do you see tonight's game going?

sad person RP you need a bit of variety and colour in your life in these dark sad times..you need to break out of your box and have a bit of fun and get jolly … there is more to life than just just hating/disliking LJ!
 
The divide in the U.S. has never been better highlighted by this election and unless the possible losers face up to the fact that they have been beaten the trouble will begin. At first Trump will try every legal avenue he thinks is open to him but perhaps he should listen to a lot of his fellow Republicans who are saying that his supposed facts for collusion somewhere down the line are hopelessly out of order, and it is well reported that the party wasn't too thrilled at his selection for president in the first place but he was a darling in the eyes of the massively armed.

As far as Biden goes I think he has underlying health conditions and his long term tenure is up in the air but at least it gets the rotten smell out of the White House. I have noticed Biden somewhat off-key in some of his rallies but at least he brings common sense to one of the most critical leadership races in American history. Trump will keep up his antics long after he is removed from power (watch this space) and when it comes to the crunch all he cares about is himself and his place among the elite, and to hell with his supposed fellow Americans. What will happen in the interim as the final decisions are made is anyone's guess and the aftermath could be quite frightening, so let's hope common sense prevails and democracy continues unhindered.

As a side note you may have noticed that Trump followers are also the largest group of non-covid19 believers and refuse to wear masks for any reason and several of his rallies turned out to be super-spreaders (go figure?) I suppose he thought that it would make him the chosen messiah (duh!).
