Biden v. Trump Election Mega Thread

[ObsidianJones]

You don't want to admit this because you assume every bad thing said about Biden could mean one less vote for Biden which could lead to a cascading effect of Biden losing, and your sort of right because the polls are narrowing, Biden internals show a closer race, but at least I am honest about Trump and point out both sides.

Can you blame anyone for feeling that way? Without joking, I literally forget all the stuff that Trump has done, hurt, or embarrassed. Not that it matters to the cult, because all they care about is "STICK IT TO THE LIBS. DOESN'T MATTER IF I HURT JUST AS LONG AS THE LIBERALS ARE SAD".

Meanwhile, the other side is worried about what's happening to this country and wants to vote in a flawless human to be proud of. Any flaw and half the population is ready to throw him out.

We're voting next to Perfectionists who want the better, more pure version of Jesus Christ (complete with magic). And we're going against a group of people who would cheer, hoot, and holler if their Demagogue soiled himself because they would make it how he flouts traditional norms to prove how truly Alpha he is!

That's a scary world to be apart of.

That clip with Wesley Hunt pisses me the hell off.

My mom and Grandmother didn't have a choice in their health and well being. Someone with the virus brought it to them. My uncle and Cousin had people who didn't wear a mask during their work infect them. That's the thing about communal threats. Your life is everyone's life. You're making everyone's choice for them.

It's like choosing to dump your waste in the water reservoir for your county. It's your waste. You made the choice. You're out there doing the work, so you should be free to do so... except no, Selfish Person, you're doing it in a manner that not everyone can avoid. Congratulations. Because of "MAH RIGHTS", other people must suffer. But you sure are an American, aren't you? Free and Proud...

Yeah it's funny to me, how often "american pride" and "freedom" translates to "permission to act like an asshole to other people for no reason other than I'm an asshole."

Funny because every time he bans say WeChat(which I use as well), and Tik Tok(which I used, and could get over it), the media complains, the investors complain, and big business complains, and the majority of those institutions are aligned with the democrats at the moment.

Yes, he is banning companies one by one, while a systematic apporach is needed.

I hate Biden, but I also mostly hate domestic neoliberalism and trade/engagement with China. The concept of Neoliberalism in foreign policy-wise for everything else. (collective security, allies free trade, foreign aid, and institutions are fine in theory as that helps the world become a better place)

You don't want to admit this because you assume every bad thing said about Biden could mean one less vote for Biden which could lead to a cascading effect of Biden losing, and your sort of right because the polls are narrowing, Biden internals show a closer race, but at least I am honest about Trump and point out both sides.

I don't want to admit what? That we have the WORST trade deficit with China in 12 years because trump lied to everyone? I don't have a problem admitting that do you?

Where are Trump, his organization and his families products made? Oh yea CHINA. ALL Trump did was bankrupt a bunch of US farmers while getting his daughters trademarks approved in China. It doesn't matter what he says, it matters what he actually did here. YaY for dead and broke farmers as long as Trump gets his trademarks right? Mhmm That must be some GOOD koolaid you got there.

Those farmers shouldn't have sold soybeans to China, and only China in the first place, everyone knows you should diversify your buyers and your product.

As for trademarks, If Trump were to choose btw. those, and being the US president he would likely choose to be the US president.

And the people who told those farmers to trade with China(neoliberals) are the same people running Biden's campaign.

 

[Shadyside]

From what I'm seeing. Donald is only good at having his loyal fanbase, but not good at getting new voters and supporters. Its been 4 years and we got new 18 year olds and lots of libs moving to big red states. We might be in for some good surprises.

They sold soybeans to china because that was where they COULD make money. They shifted to doing so so that they didn't lose their farm. Have you just forgotten the past 30 years in farming and the impact it has had on US farmers? No, Trump wouldn't choose to be president He was supposed to divest from his businesses and REFUSED. He was willing to give up the presidency over it. Go ahead and name the "people" who are running Biden's campaign who told those farmers to trade with China. Prove the exact individuals responsible who did this, or quit making up this nonsense.

I will concert to you that no right directly told farmers to trade with China, but here are people who are friendly to China, and improved relations with them, and set up a bridge to trade with China then, and even right now.

Eric Garcetti said Los Angeles still aimed to be the “leading Chinese city in America for investment”, as his administration grapples with an escalating trade war between Washington and Beijing, restrictions on Chinese investments and the unpredictability of US President Donald Trump.

The reality is we HAVE to trade with China or greatly reduce the standard of living in the US and China is the only place that actually manufacturers many of the items we use. Most Americans cannot afford to buy American made products due to our current economic system being based on people profiting from others work, not the workers themselves being able to afford to live. Trying to cut off trade with China without drastically changing the economic system in the US would just mean greatly increasing the poverty and wealth inequality gap to the point that people would no longer be able to afford shoes, clothing, computers, phones, or anything else for that matter. You are living in a fantasy world if you think that somehow we can just " stop" doing so without causing extreme suffering in the US.

To offset the amount we Import from China, we need to INCREASE, not decrease our exports to China. We WANT farmers to sell soybeans to china so that this trade just one sides here otherwise we are just sending all out money to china and not the other way around, like we are doing under Trump.

You have to consider the cause and effect of your actions, not just say " cut off all trade with China" and let the people her suffer due to it. We have no plan or ability to change this in the immediate, nor are we even transitioning to being able to do so, so there are no solutions even being proposed here at all.

Saying I hate china, stop trading with them" is just stupid tbh because of what happens if we do. We would need to greatly redistribute wealth in the US closing the wealth inequality gap before that could even be considered.


In addition, none of what you posted actually " proves" anything. The numbers don't lie and we are at our worst trade deficit in 12 years BECAUSE of Trump.

Why not buy products from Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and the Philippines. Why not produce our own rare Earths. Also, we need to reduce both imports and exports from China, and we need to decoupled our economies, stop CCP students from coming here, and do a Magnitsky Act on high ranking Chinese oligarchs. Maybe you're from texas where they have benefited from trade with China, but in Ohio, we are dying because of China. We have rust belts in Akron, and Cleveland because China took the manufacturing factories away.

And the Chinese will never let you just increase exports to China, they will want us to increase imports as well, and that will increase problems for the US in the long term.

Rare earths are a matter of location, and we would destroy, pollute and poison native American Reservations, national landmarks, and necessary resources in order to extract many of those rare earth minerals in the US. We really don't want that here to begin with. We have already poisoned millions of people, we are supposed to be trying to clean up this mess, not make a bigger one. The jobs are not coming back in manufacturing, even the factories in China are moving to fully automated factories. The factories are just bringing pollution, not jobs. The solution here isn't to pollute up the US more, it is to convert our economy to one that is beneficial and serves the people rather than treats the people as disposable and replaceable as the current slave wage based economy does. We have to actually start to transition to a better economy, not just try to continue what is obviously not working for us at all here.

Yea, I am seeing Republicans like John Kasich not exactly "Hating Democrats" and I even supported Joh McCain. He was literally a hero for my Tribe to help stop the kidnapping of native Children and forcing them to go to the Christian rape school.

It is the GOP trying to literally kill Americans and pushing systemic racism that is the primary problem here above all else. We have lots of issues we disagree on, but some of these issues are just so seriously messed up how can that somehow be okay to do anywhere?
