    No, there’s no way it’ll ever happen. If he’s even on the ballot, liberals will come out of the woodworks to vote for Biden. It also doesn’t help that RFKJr is stealing a sizable amount of votes from the Republican party as well.

        I take nothing for granted with this clown. The fact that he’s still a free man in the first place makes me weary of his impact on the future.

        I hope he loses. Or better gets hit by a car before election time. But if he makes it to the ballot and his name is on the paper in November. He’s a threat.

          And that’s how propaganda works folks.

          Edit

          The propaganda is it being leaked, who said conspiracy…?

          Also, that very likely wouldn’t have made a difference in the end result, without that discourse they would have found another avenue.

          I’m sorry the propaganda worked so well on you, you now even defending it!

              For one thing, telling yourself something doesn’t mean you don’t understand that it can and may still happen.

              The best part of propaganda is when you don’t even understand that’s what it is.

                What does this have to do with my comment? You’re the one that said the “world told itself” something. I’m saying it didn’t.

                  The world told itself even though they knew the USA was stupid enough to do it anyways.

                  Your entire comment could have been a campaign by the opposition to sow discontent to do exactly what you claim it did. We will never know for sure, but it sure as hell has propaganda written all over it.

            That edit is absolutely embarrassing. Is your team winning really more important than democracy? It’s “propaganda” when real emails proving bias are leaked because it was your preferred political party? Come on.

              Team…? What are you on?

              Yes leaking private e-mail exchanges to gain political advantage is textbook propaganda, what else would it be…?

              My apologies that you assumed “conspiracy” in my comments that was just talking about the factual leak, that the republicans used to their advantage. Without that propaganda they would have found or made more. This really isn’t a difficult concept, once you stop assuming “conspiracy”… since that was not even once mentioned until you did……

      “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Also, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”. Carlin of course.

      Yet Haley and De Santis could make it close against Biden in swing states according to a NYT/Siena poll. Never underestimate human beings potential for stupidity and or shooting itself in the foot.

      Yeah, I remember the last time there was no chance in hell he’d be elected.

      I won’t hold my breath.

        They ran Hilary Clinton against him, that was a lot of the problem. Just as unlikable and abrasive.

      I hope so. If Trump is attracting former Biden voters in enough numbers for him to win, I want off this ridiculous rock.
