    The issue with Trump is that he did so poorly in the 1st debate that some voters are likely to believe he looked great today in comparison but he spent half the debate talking about Hunter Biden & China which voters don’t give a s--- about lol.

    That's what it cost to have a failed airline, multiple failed casinos, failed steaks at an electronic store business, failed vodka brand, failed water brand, failed football team (Trump actually brought down the whole USFL league... but he only owned one team), failed magazine, failed mortgage company, failed marriages, ect.



    Its almost like he doesn't know what he is doing and shouldn't be trusted to manage things.

    It’s going to be interesting to see the dynamic of the debates with mics being turned off. I’m sure Trump can & will still interrupt. Biden’s mic will probably pick up some of Trump’s rambling. Curious to see if Biden will just ignore him or respond at all.

    Home stretch, call up your best player to close it out. Obama’s presence on the campaign trail these next two weeks are going to prove so much more valuable than tomorrow’s debate.

    Yikes at how I spelled privilege. I need to be more careful on my phone outside of the Eminem section. But yeah I'm not saying white privilege doesn't exist Im just saying if it does my white privilege card must have got lost in the mail as a child.

    andy please lol, level with the good ppl of the forum! if i had been like “kasich’s record on trans rights is disqualifying” you’d be like “this is an olive branch to [x/y/z voter blocs] who don’t care about that!”

    people are laughing at your “moving goalposts” whining because, regardless of what you believe irl, on the forum you hopscotch from argument to argument, chasing ur tail and trying to—yes—be a condescending brat to other posters. it’s not evident from your posts here that you actually have any beliefs at all other than you being the ~most nuanced~ thinker, even when it’s impossible to glean what you really think.

    as you’re fond of saying, this is an eminem forum, so none of us are under any obligation to be our Real True Sincere Selves, but PLEASE lmao don’t tell us that’s what you’re being. or are you going to tell me only property owners are wise enough to vote again?

    my initial post was a response to grimace’s silly and ill-considered argument that i should only object to john kasich if he were truly a bad guy at heart, which is impossible to define and irrelevant. he tried to create a hierarchy of issues that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. andy decided he’d be snotty and condescending about me as always. that’s all that happened. if i had taken a different stance he would have taken its opposite.

    mostly I just like to see you guys rile each other up lol but I thought this was kind of an extreme comparison:

    I don't think you have to say union-busting + lack of (mental) healthcare (which is extremely important for allowing trans people to live normal lives) is a less important or a more important issue than transphobia. They're all representative of some of the biggest problems that plague (no pun intended) our country.

    Cuz if you can say that people are just "misguided" for being anti-healthcare or anti-union, you can certainly say that someone's just "misguided" for being transphobic. In a lot of cases people who are transphobic have just never met a trans person and/or don't know enough about trans issues (and obviously there are exceptions w/r/t being misguided for both cases).

    Four years ago Trump offered the VP slot on his ticket and told Kasich he would be the real President like Cheney was to Bush43.

    Kasich turned him down.

    Oh yeah it’s great for their base but like...those people are already voting Trump. They gotta persuade voters & I don’t think “Biden will listen to the scientists on the #1 issue you guys care about most!” is persuading many swing voters.

    In unrelated news, AOC >>>

    Dear U.S. Citizens

    Whatever happens or whoever wins, I wish y'all are getting through November without a civil war.
    The U.S. politics have become extremely polarized since the last election, showing the flaws of a system relying on two parties.
    Before this legislature opinions inside the parties were much more diverse, now you somehow got into a state where you're forced to just run with the slogan of what your party is saying or dumb it down to emotional platitudes (partly because of the lessened attention span of consumers).
    In my opinion what the U.S. population and the major parties need to discuss is a change of constitution. You need to diversify your political landscape, as mentioned before, we see what's happening now with the radicalization of both parties, this is not only toxic for the people themselves, but also hinders one to find a consesus-based way to solve problems.
    Split your major parties or create new grassroot movements catering to specific problems which people then can find a common denominator to participate.
    Also, I'd highly recommend replacing the executive head of state/president with several positions, each one specializing in a field, taking over the executive position for the respective departement.
    They'd be either voted by the people or through the United States Congress.
    This council of head of states then together votes on executive orders on the federal level, leaving party interests aside to find a common consensus (this may also help the divide caused by the great geographical distances in the U.S. territory and therefore diverting opinions).
    (Hikey thinking I'd probably get lynched by a lot of people suggesting this ideas)

    About the Covid thing:
    Over here in Europe cases are rising fast again and even if you think your young and can handle 'that flue', I tell you this virus may be no joke for your fellow human beings.
    Everyone has a different immune system and especially for elderly and disabled people, as well as people with chronic conditions, it can get lethal real quick.
    Also we still don't know the longterm effects. I personally know of 5 young people though that have had it and two of them, not all of them of course, saying that they still feel somewhat of a pressure on their lungs/have trouble breathing sometimes, even months after. IC units are slowly starting to get overfilled again and the health care staff who's been working relentlessly since month (as well as care/social workers in general, it sucks to work with a mask on and also the restrictions in social interactions) don't get any fresher, they've been under heavy pressure all this time.
    We have to keep numbers low, show solidarity, wear your mask when it's necessary, try to help the people that are in need of it, minimize social interaction and stop confusing your false proudness with a fight for freedom.
    We're all in this together, my individual freedom ends where the freedom of the other begins and where my own actions could cause harm to people.
