    Let’s try and get back on topic. Debating the benefits of capitalism vs. communism is not what this election is about (and a change so drastic in America will not happen in our lifetimes most likely—better or worse).

     

    Historically a VP has not had much effect on a presidential candidates electability, and it likely won’t change this election. But 538 released their 2020 electoral predictions and Biden has 71 paths to the WH, whereas Trump has 29. For reference, I believe Clinton had 63 paths in 2016.

    If you found out Richard Nixon was actually Ed Sullivan and his entire presidency staged how would this shift your consciousness levels of all the actions of all presidents before and after him since 1871 when The USA was incorporated & became a corporate entity of the British Empire again? Asking for a friend. I have plenty of patience so I'll wait for your reply.

    @@AlexParliament I agree with everything you say, but I also think it's important not to drown out the voices of those how are hurt, wrongly imprisoned, and marginalized by our current political system by shouting "IT'LL BE BETTER THAN TRUMP" whenever they chose to voice their very real and important concerns (not that you are the one doing that, or I'm trying to scold you, just as a kind of general PSA :) )

    what sucks is that in 2016 a lot of us left-leaning people still believed the lies we were told by the democratic party. i remember thinking Obama was a good president and that Hillary would save us from Trump. now I'm basically a socialist lol.

     

    I agree. Altho I do support the current Democratic Party for the most part (and the "establishment dems"), I do think that the two party system is failing us greatly. The two parties we have now were never meant to be "right-wing and left-wing". The Republican platform was on preserving and strengthening the republic, and thus the individual will flourish; and the Democratic platform was on preserving and strengthening each individual, and the society will flourish. 

     

    These parties not only no longer represent what they used to, we've evolved past the need for them. The US needs a system more like Canada's, in which there are four parties--left, centre-left, centre-right, and right-wing. It's gonna take a lifetime to get there though :/

    Trump is already saying Kamala is "known as one of the most liberal people in the senate"...lmaooo what? Who's gonna believe that? Bernie?! Warren?! tons of senators much more liberal than Kamala. His only other gripe about her is that she "treated Justice Kavanaugh horribly"...

     

    Right, Trump, God forbid we put a woman who holds r*pists accountable in charge of our country right? Smh

    Kamala is a genius choice tbh. She’s a tough as nails prosecutor, which makes it hard for Trump to play the “law and order” card now. The Biden ticket is now the peace candidate, the progressive candidate, the economy candidate, the virus response candidate, and the law and order candidate. More so, no one can accuse either biden or Harris as being “socialists”. Checkmate. What’s trump gonna run on now?

    Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris tbh are my first choices. I will be excited to vote for either of them, but anyone else I’ll vote for Biden reluctantly.

     

    However, Trump probably has a lot of dirt on anyone Biden may pick at this point. Well have to see if Biden can ride out his “do nothing” strategy until November. Trump isn’t gaining in the polls yet, but he’s stabilized.

    I think it would increase activity if there was 1 or 2 users added to the staff team with the job of posting interesting news articles in the ‘world news’ section, they wouldn’t have moderator privileges or anything like that, they’d just keep that section alive w a steady flow of interesting discussion points. also as another user suggested the news section could be expanded to accommodate more mundane news articles like showbiz and important news in that regard. Having a steady flow of new topics in that section could greatly increase friendly debates and keep users interested throughout the day. The topics posted in the news section are almost always pretty popular but not many topics actually get made.

     

    (this isn’t me saying I’d like to do that job lmao)

    This is a great idea and I fully believe World News should be discussed...but I also worry about a Reddit-like mob-mentality forming over divisive issues and a culture of cyber bullying. But I think, on a whole, LB users are kinder and more expecting than other facets of the internet.
