Trump vs Biden who would get your vote?

[tootsietops]

I’m up watching the first presidential debate from the UK. Who would get your vote?

YABU Trump
YANBU Biden

Why wasn't Jo Jorgensen allowed on the debate?

@StarCat2020

All I can think is there are 300 million people in the USA and these two are the best that there are???

LOL

Why wasn't Jo Jorgensen allowed on the debate?
To qualify for the debate, candidates need to meet certain criteria, including a requirement that they are polling at least 15% nationally in a certain number of polls.

Jorgensen is polling at about 2.5%.

Well, you REALLY don't know what you are talking about as absentee votes ARE counted

Obviously I am overseas so in my home state, these types of ballots are only counted if it’s really close. Absentee ballots that originate from local addrssses are absolutely counted.

Some conspiracy theorists here think I’m trying to spread disinfo 😂

You are spreading misinformation. Q: When are absentee ballots counted? A: Absentee ballots submitted in accordance with state laws are counted for every election. In a close election, the media reports that the outcome cannot be announced until after the absentee ballots are counted. However, all ballots are counted in the final totals for every election — and every vote (absentee or in-person) counts the same.

It could be Trump versus Beezlebub and I’d still vote for Beezlebub - he’d be the lesser of those two evils...

I'd hold my breath and vote Biden - Trump needs to go.

I actually cried for America when trump got in it’s like a complete nightmare and yet I fear it could be repeated unless anyone with a brain doesn’t get up and vote against him . He actually gave the call to the right supremest group live on tv what more could he do to American people to incite them . See him for what he is 😡

Wherever U.S. citizens go, FVAP ensures their voices are heard. The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) works to ensure Service members, their eligible family members and overseas citizens are aware of their right to vote and have the tools and resources to successfully do so – from anywhere in the world. The rights of absentee voters are protected by law. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) protects the rights of Service members and their eligible family members to vote in federal elections regardless of where they are stationed. It also protects the federal voting rights of U.S. citizens residing outside the United States.

I feel like you are not listening to what I am saying. Absentee ballots are counted but overseas ballots usually are not counted before a state is called unless it’s really close. As I have been saying.

Sure my vote might end up in a final tally a month later but it’s kind of pointless then tbh. Check out what happened with military ballots in Florida during Bush vs Gore election. They were only going to count for the election once it became contested: edition.cnn.com/2015/11/02/politics/bush-gore-military-ballots/index.html

I haven’t forgotten that.

I really don’t think my home state is going to be that close so that’s why I won’t bother either way (in fact, you probably wouldn’t want me to vote. Getting tired of seeing Antifa loot our cities ...).

This!

Does it matter Trump and his wife have gone into quarantine. If he gets the virus that would that be a game changer?

He must already have had his initial test result yesterday, & apparently his wife is actually 'feeling the symptoms'.

Where is Hydroxychloroquine when you need it.

Could he be trying to avoid the next presidential debate?

It wouldn't surprise me if he dropped out altogether to save face. He'd blame some kind of health problem and pretend he's gutted, but I think he knows he's going to lose. Even many Republicans don't want him to get re-elected. He's a loose cannon.

It was a only a couple of nights ago Trump was foaming at an unmasked Biden. I know they were separated, but Trump must produce a lot of aerosol droplets when he rants.

I would want to have a perspex screen between.

Sure Donnie. Nice face saver.

I am a US citizen, and this election cycle has been painful to watch. I never vote "straight ticket" and was planning on going third-party again for the presidential election. Biden and Harris are pro-trans, as in, give that part of the electorate every single thing they want. I'm a huge supporter of sex-based rights for women. I don't want to see natal males overtake roles and advantages that were clearly meant for biological women. Change my mind. Otherwise, I will probably vote Libratarian for the POTUS role.

Bring on the bleach. Lots of it.

Where is hydroxycholorquine when you need it 😂

Now that they’ve both tested positive, it would be interesting to know if trump a) still endorsed it and b) if he’s taking it as part of his cure.

Oh dear imagine if trump has infected Biden and they both get really ill. That would be a shit storm.

A chacon son gout. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. These days, people expect everyone to think or act or vote in the same way as they do and if you don’t hold then you are called names. Just why? I don’t owe anyone an explanation for my political leanings- they are mine and mine alone.

* Bring on the bleach. Lots of it.*

Lol. I bet he regrets making that suggestion now.

Is it possible it’s not true? Just seems like too much of a coincidence that Trump’s going into quarantine precisely fourteen days before the next debate.

In fourteen days he may well emerge unscathed and then be able to reiterate the fact that COVID is just like a cold and nothing to be concerned about. And people will find it more difficult to hold him to account for COVID as he’s had it and come through it.

Can't believe anybody would vote Trump. Have you read nothing about him?! The man is reprehensible.

I wonder whether he actually has covid - like a previous poster says, it feels very co-incidental. Or he has got it and is going to emerge telling American people that the severity is fake news. Or he's actually going to die and then will get a hero's state funeral. Whatever happens he will use it to his advantage in some way, even if it's from beyond the grave.

I detest him. So if I did have a vote, it would be Biden all the way...

(sorry I realise that I sounds very angry for a Friday morning!)

I thought there would be better candidates in the Democratic party than Biden, however he is still miles better than Trump.

This is awful to say but I'm not sure I believe DT has Covid or that Melania has it.
Do they spend that much time in each others company ?
Has their son also got it ?
Her parents are elderly and live with her, I think.
