Difficult to see what kind of candidate would be more popular across the board albeit i would like to see someone more progressive. Someone who actually stood for something maybe? A candidate who offers a vision and policies to help the marginalised always does better than a candidate who doesn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only recently that Johnson’s despotic tendencies have started. When he was mayor he just came across as stupid but relatively normal. I definitely believe he is copying Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 God American telly is so fast and loud. It’s a constant bombardment on its frequent ad breaks. No wonder they are all so thick. You’ve no time to absorb and think about what you’ve been spoonfed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely believe he is copying Trump. Sure Trump has said Boris’ Brexit victory in May 2016 made him believe he could do it in November of that year. And he did.Either way this goes Trump has certainly done far better than the majority of the experts had predicted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Johnson is a construct of the people that advise/control him ans will do whatever they think will win him votes. His mayoralty masked a lot of his flaws, given he had very little actual power and his decision making capabilities were limited. That said, he did manage to dither of the tube replacement program, keeping 60s tube trains running on some lines for another 10-20 years. A precursor, you may say. Trump, on the other hand, is not a politician and is used to doing whatever the hell he likes. He's got away with it his whole life and has kept at it throughout his presidency. In some cases, what he's done has been outright dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that some people vote for the party, not the leader per se. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Biden still just on course in Georgia. Half an hour ago he needed 63% of the remaining votes, that's now down to 62.6%. Most of the votes come from counties around Atlanta he's currently leading with 72% to 85%. Georgia would be a huge win, because he should be able to get it today and without much scope for challenge. If he could squeak home in Wisconsin the scope for legal challenge is very poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Americans are marginalised, so they would be voting for themselves. Look at how popular Bernies policies are in America every time they’re polled. This is a no brainier. Stop fielding shit candidates with shit policies and you’ll stop getting shit results. Twice now America has tried the centrist route and twice its blown up in their face (even if Biden wins, he’s horrendously underperformed) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
