If you look at the mainstream networks they all have party affiliation. Even 5000 miles away you'll roll your eyes if you see 'Breaking News' from CNN and it's completely understandable. There's a lot of information flying around all the time and it's hard to process, so when it gets condensed into manageable chunks people will read it. People will manipulate that. In the UK you'll see nothing but Trump and Biden. At least here you'll get a snapshot of 'Other' in between the noise but even here you'll often have to dig for it. As you have no say in it whatsoever you'll probably be less in

Where I am there is a surge of interest in the Libertarians based on the catastrophic presidential debates. Apparently I'm not alone thinking that we're voting to decide which stuttering imbecile should be our leader for the next 4 years. The way the electoral college works it's practically guaranteed that this state will go Republican although a solid third party vote would start to shift internal opinion away from the fringes. It's hard to nail it down more than that.
-
Agreed and I'm sure there will be plenty of data to sift through in the run up to election day. I can only go off where I'm at, and different states will differ immensely. There are over 1400 people running for president, believe it or not, but the duopoly of Republicans and Democrats will ensure that most people outside the US, and even those inside, only believe there are two. The Libertarians are on the ballot for all 50 states and were shut out of the presidential debates because the debate committee is run by... guess who? Republicans and Democrats! That all said this is very mu

My opinion doesn't matter. Your team concluded in two official investigations that he didn't do anything wrong. I don't know enough about it to care either way. I think they're both as crooked as they come, as is the case with most politicians but the Republican senate investigation doesn't agree. Twice. It changes nothing. It's just noise and it certainly doesn't seem to be harming the initial vote tally, which from what's happening in the tabloid news cycle is exactly what they appear to be trying to do. When Hillary's emails were on the news she was actually running for the job an

They do but the site I listed are posting actual vote tallies from early voting. Not opinions they're current results. Granted they're just showing where we're up to, and don't predict or claim any kind of victory. Merely a running tally of party, and non party voters that have participated. It's almost two to one in favour of the Democrats but the official election day isn't until November 3rd. Look at that tally as more of a run of tries in the first half. The game isn't over by any means.
-
It hasn't and it won't. This is all being released after the fact Team Trump have cleared him. Twice. That's in official Senate led inquiries and reports. If pro-Trump senate Republicans can't find evidence of wrongdoing what are you bringing in from rainy Donegal? If anything new comes in, and it's legitimate and verifiable, by all means impeach the living piss out of him, but at this stage it's all bollocks until proven otherwise. Pulling up blogs of dirt on him doesn't change anything at this stage. It's just noise until it isn't, and it still isn't. I have no support to give to e

I've just spent the last 40 mins, or so, reading the arbitrary lockdown rules for Greater Manchester's 'Tier 3.' God, you lads are f*ck*d! Everyone will be on benefits at this rate...

Aye! More noise not to listen to. If he was on the ballot it would mean something...

Article from Forbes. They're predicting a record breaking 150m voter turn out for this general election.
-
Yes and Yes. Those are tallied votes. Actual record of ballots cast in this election. If you read back in the thread I discusses this with GL. My state is a Republican stronghold. They haven't had a democrat in office for decades. We've been using mail in ballots for years with zero issues. I honestly don't know what Biden's son has been up to, and I'm not really arsed to be honest. There has been implications that Biden Snr has been involved also and he's [Biden Snr] been investigated by two Republican led Senate inquiries into the alleged corruption, including the testimony you

Some actual news... As of this post, a little over 58.6m people have already voted with around half of that tallied for the candidates. Have a look here. The site is updated as the tallied votes come in.

If he was important it might mean something!

I dunno what to add to that discussion, mate! "A bloke that's not running for office gets caught doing crack and f*ck*ng hookers..." And?
-
I think this thread sums up the festive period quite well. Starts off with the build up and then the annoying relatives arrive and start arguing. It all ends up being a complete waste of time and no one has even mentioned Jesus.

@VOON My Paiute mate was telling me about this. Gentlemen all around!
-
I've wondered that too. This would have been a tough one to call for any world leader. The advice was to lockdown because they do work to stop the spread of contagion. If they hadn't, and we didn't know anything about this virus, the death toll could have been much, much, higher than it has been. We just didn't know how it was going to rip through society and what any of the consequences would have been. I believe that everyone was truly panicked and if the death toll was to match the spread rate it would play out like the Android game, Plague Inc. Of course with hindsight that isn't the case

Do you have anything to show that he wasn't part of the control group?
-
Not quite sure what I'm supposed to derive from that clip, mate. Aren't we both agreeing with him??
-
I don't know of anyone and I have zero inclination to look it up on your behalf. If you want to debate the what repealing of Section 230 will do to online discourse you'll need to do some of your intensive research on the subject. It's backed by both the Republicans and the Democrats for different reasons. There's no point discussing it until then other than to say it will drastically reshape how we all communicate on the world wide web. Your team want to see it on the statute. Your opponents team want to see it on the statute. We the people will lose. From the results of the last two

It has. It fluctuates between he's a massive bellend and he's a dangerously massive bellend. What might be a surprise to you is that I feel the same way about his opposition but he's had a longer career and I've thought that much since the Gulf kicked off in the early 00's. Mate, I'm a libertarian. I can absolutely say that I don't want either of them to win because I don't. I know my candidate hasn't got a sh*t of a chance of taking the top job but as of the latest count there are over 1400 people running to be president in the US. Your only concept of US politics might be the multi-bill

@Greyman I was able to read your reply to me on the cat thread before it got deleted. I appreciate the sentiments, mate. When I mentioned shaky evidence, I should probably clarify. I was generalizing. This thread is 318 pages as of this post, based on my settings. The majority of stuff that gets thrown around in the media is the shaky stuff and I tend to just gloss over it. Being as busy as I have over the last 12 months I've not really had chance to really get into the nuts and bolts of everything that's been posted but fair comment. You posted about the podcast, and that's a

Having a mute button for these two stuttering imbeciles is a brilliant idea! It's pretty symbolic of how America and the world is viewing this last election cycle!
-
That's the crux of it, mate. The attempt to call them socialists is pretty funny given the context. If anyone was bothered they'd look up Biden's voting record. It's pretty startling given the 2020 spin on his 'moderate healer' rebrand. Look at the laws he's introduced in his near half a century political career. If he was even electable in Britain he'd be tucked away at the back of the Commons and every time he opened his mouth the Mirror would be calling him a fascist... He would be a hardline old school Tory at best. The only bloke in US politics that would sit on the Labour bench woul
-
Like I said, mate. Both the Republicans and the Democrats want to repeal Section 230. Don tweets about it every time a social media network does something he doesn't like. Dems want to ban hate speech. Republicans believe that social media are censoring them. Both sides want to see the end of mis/disinformation. Removing Section 230 would make all Yank forums subject to stringent, government mandated, moderating rules. Look it up. It will reach over to Europe because most of these kinds of forums are run on Yank tech. This thread was started in 2017, have a scroll back! I
-
It does update the narrative though. The FBI have looked at the hard drive but don't appear overly concerned with the content as opposed to where it came from. That's not to say it didn't happen but it still remains unverified. If they repeal section 230 it'll apply to all yank forums. Probably won't stop it in the short term but they'll get around to it. Don also doesn't see the irony of using Twitter to complain about censorship. If they repeal 230 his account will be moderated before he can post anything! They'll have to to see whether he's contravening the law he wants to steamro
