[2020 ELECTION] THREAD OF WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FORK
Posts
I was gonna post that picture of the sunken boat with a Trump flag but apparently that's a fake? Boo-urns.
If Biden comes out with a statement along the lines of “well, I’ll be there” Trump wouldn’t be able to resist.
He can’t stand anyone getting attention but him.
Biden can call Trump a loser while complimenting him just fine.
His base will love it as a show of ... power? negotiating? winning?
Bless his heart.
whatever picture you're seeing may be fake, but the story about the larger boats circling around and creating enough wake to sink the smaller boats absolutely happened
and is maybe not the metaphor he means to evoke here given the "rising tide" analogy used to describe Reagonomics but
Absolutely spot on response. Calling him chickenshit is too on the nose but pointing to his unreliablity makes it more costly for Trump to reverse himself and reinforces a central narrative of Trump's unfitness

This sounds like we’re entering the “Dementia-riddled King George III” phase of governing
just because it's always projection doesn't mean this time...
what's that?
this just in, we're hearing it's projection
Like it is so obviously silly to anyone who is not fully onboard
The irony sails right past him
ahahaha
nice
He must be consulting with my uncle who doesn't see how Trump can lose based on all of the political signs he sees supporting Trump...in Southern Ohio.

I wonder if we'll get some great, funny Trump songs in 240-ish years, a la Hamilton.
You can take the high ground and still infuriate and destroy him
That’s the route to go
in 240-ish years I hope he's remembered about as much as Franklin Pierce
It's so obvious that all their internal polling sucks but he doesn't want to hear it. So they present him with something flattering to make him feel better. And now he's latched on to it.
Just an absolute fucking child.
I don’t think any of us are friends with the Lincoln Project. This is simply a means to oust a common enemy. Because Donald Trump is terrible at his job. Uniquely terrible. I didn’t like George Bush Sr. But he was competent. Competent in a terrible sort of way, but he knew what he was doing. His son had competent advisors. Trump is such a narcissist he fired the competent advisors for thugs and boot lickers.
He has to go.
The Lincoln Project are an enemy of my enemy situation at the moment. We aren’t going to win their hearts, we just want their votes in November.
Vox reporter with video:
Yes, I know and haven't argued differently. My point is that there's no fear of the Lincoln Project people turning on the left. They've always been attacking the left. It's where they came from before the Lincoln Project.
I mean, this makes what, the fifth poll this week showing Biden at least +12? At some point it stops being an outlier and starts being, "Yeah, I guess Biden's lead has grown".
A reminder that the “perfect physical specimen” is an obese elderly man with a diet of mostly fast food, that thinks exercise depletes the finite energy supply of the human body.
i'm just wary because of PTSD and that these polls are all starting to "correct" their models to emphasizing likely voters, which in a year when voting is completely different from any election that has come before it makes me unsure how "correct" that change is
all of this is admittedly gut feeling though and could be entirely off base
cautious optimism?
He's a eugenicist though, so he thinks he's got "good genes".
I think his views on biology are probably the most undercovered vile and insane thing he talks about all the time. It's honestly shocking how badly the media does at showcasing all the ways in which he's a terrible human being.
This is close to being well done in terms of how to write about Trump imo. This stuff is good: Now just outright call him a liar a few times near the start too in order to establish what we're talking about.
CNN reporter:
He also said he's "very young." :?

Not even his call for the prosecution of his political opponent is going to get much coverage.
I know we don’t give him any benefit of the doubt but it was obvious to me watching it that he was making a joke
Statistical possibilities exist but at least the people around Trump must understand it looks like they're heading toward a loss and don't seem to do anything to change it.
Not to be alarmist but are they starting to look seriously at ways to invalidate the election result? It doesn't look like they're doing anything to change how the result turns out.
I mean if they want to go boating on Election Day I’m good with it
Biden's national polling lead is only surpassed by the blowout elections in 92 96 and 84 in the modern polling era. It is also climbing pretty rapidly since more and more post debate and post diagnosis polling is coming in. That might fade but it might not.

It also ties into one of trump's attacks against hillary and biden with how they're both too sick/low energy to perform the role of president, but here you have a sitting president sick with the plague now refusing to participate in a debate ~an act which is basically unprecedented for a sitting president~.
