I am beginning to actually hope Trump does lose, so you Trump bashers get to see what happens when the Socialists get in piwer. That may be what it will take for you to pull your heads out of your asses.
I've lived in countries with governments that are a lot closer to socialism than Joe Biden will ever be. It was great - there was this wonderful communal spirit as we stood around the stand-pipe to get our drinking water due to the drought, and we all had these lovely get-togethers at 4.30 pm when they turned off the electricity because the miners were on strike.
On the negative side, we ended up with Margaret Thatcher who was basically what Rand Paul would have been like if he'd been born a man.

Biden isn't the one who will be running things, because Biden is senile. The democrat party died already. It's not even a national party any more. It's just a collection of small factions, most of them Socialist.
If Trump doesn't win this country can kiss its ass goodbye. Doesn't matter much to me any more. I can get out. I just feel sorry for the ones who cant. But I will enjoy saying I told you so once you (the collective "you") get your wish.

I think we'll have to wait for 2024 to see that. Hopefully by then the GOP will have regained sanity.
I guess that would also be what I'd hope for. Hope that Biden doesn't do too much damage (he will almost certainly do some damage) and that the GOP will press the reset button until 2024.

"Pressing the reset button" is another way of saying "go back to being democrat lite". We pressed the reset button 4 years ago.

What we need is for both sides to quit playing power politics and start serving the people of this country.
That sounds good in theory, but what if the people have very diverging conceptions of how they want to be governed?

Nor do I believe the polls that say he's ahead.
Trumps internal polling is almost certainly abysmal, hence this tweet.
Nah, I think it's a pre-emptive strike.
There are problems with mail-in ballots and we all know it. They are extremely easy to manipulate and ballot harvest. They also lend themselves to an October Surprise, if it's done well, especially with a Biden-friendly media.
As for poll numbers...I think Trump is down about five, but it's not even Labor Day. And the more Biden has to campaign, the more his senility is expressed.

I have zero doubt that the left are fully convinced that they serve the people of the country.
One of the more insidious aspects of our learned righteousness is that compassion is for the least advantaged materially, and the bulk of the bell curve can go F itself. Entire societies can apparently be led by attaching the leash to the tail of the bell curve and shaming everybody for not devoting all their attention to it, hang the expense.
