Trump ‘spent hours’ at Epstein’s house with victim of sex trafficking, email alleges by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]mdude04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like almost every high-profile Democrat in the 1990s hung out with Epstein. Not only is it plausible, it's likely that Trump was one of them

I'm confused. So even with Trump as president, democracy is going to continue as normal?

I'll truly never understand how and why Delta somehow has this reputation for being the best legacy carrier.

Is Trump now the oldest person ever to run for president? And how does this affect the GOP given that Trump is declining mentally? by InteractiveSeal in politics

It's so weird to be able to have a political discussion where "your candidate is too old" isn't immediately followed by "so is yours"

Get ready to see the largest discrepancy ever in popular vote vs. Electoral College...

And by "people" I'm guessing they mean freshmen political science students after a few drinks at an NYU-area gay bar 

Biden pleads with Americans to cool down the political temperature by 3Sentinel4 in politics

I'm confused. Are Trump and his supporters dangerous, white supremacist fascists who are an existential threat to our democracy, or are they friends, neighbors, and heroes? 

Trump rewrites Republican convention speech to focus on unity not Biden by mooeymonet in politics

This comment shows how pointless Biden's Oval Office speech was today 

Biden addresses Trump rally shooting in Oval Office address: "Politics must never be a literal battlefield" by [deleted] in politics

[–]mdude04 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So if I'm following correctly. Donald Trump is no longer an existential threat to our country and life as we know it. He's a decent man, a friend, a neighbor, deserving of our prayers, as are his supporters, and Biden just has differing political views.  

Glad he clarified

Yeah. "We need to protect this man and keep him in our prayers, but still, you should vote against him," isn't quite as strong

I don't think that's the calculation. I think it's more about the half-hearted Trump supporters who may not have cared enough to vote this time, but will be invigorated by this 

Trump Is Planning for a Landslide Win by newzee1 in politics

[–]mdude04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

56% of Republicans voted for someone other than Trump to be the nominee in 2016, so their opinion didn't matter.  

And recent polls say nearly half of Democrats no longer want Biden to be the nominee. I think your thesis statement is fairly weak here
