DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think your first sentence is self evident. Now try and answer this one. Why was there an increase in black males voting for the most overtly racist President of modern times? Sorry missed you reply.Possibly those with long memories can remember the 1994 Crime Bill which led to a disproportionate increase in incarcerations for African-Americans. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/17/joe-biden-race-crime-bill-1994-policingFor all Trump's racist talk it is Biden who is responsible for the most racist legislation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 It's not out of the realms of possibility that some wealthy African Americans voted for Trump out of self-interest or that people directly or indirectly affected by Biden's Crime Bill also voted for Trump. I'd call the latter thick as shit but I genuinely can't imagine what it would be like to be in that position although I guess I would probably abstain like a massive proportion of African Americans do. I get having Biden foisted upon you though and saying "you know what? f**k you." I'm sure some people voted on that basis but I would be surprised if it turns out to be that substantial a number. They could've avoided that outcome by not running the architect of the Crime Bill but it didn't matter in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 "Official sources called this election differently" [emoji38] Twitter constantly having to come up with new disclaimers just for The Donald. Can we all do this? ALLOA ATHLETIC WERE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE BEFORE LOCKDOWN! COUNT ALL THE GOALS, STOP THE STEAL!I'd love to know how many times Trump would have had his Twitter account suspended by now if he wasn't President. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I'll wait till we get confirmation from someone that doesn't have a picture of Donald Trump as his profile pic before I worry too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria reported to the commission on Monday that there were 139 ballot discrepancies in District C, and Miller defeated Republican opponent Stavros Anthony by only 10 votes out of 153,162 cast. As a result of the discrepancies, the commission voted not to certify the District C results and instead call Gloria back to its first December meeting to present a plan for a special election. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/clark-county-calls-for-re-vote-in-commission-race-decided-by-10-ballots-discrepancies-outnumber-victory-margin?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=rop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not absolutely sure of the accuracy of this but allegedly, of the 20+ cases brought by Trump so far, the only one they have won is being allowed to stand closer to the ballot counters. One of the latest challenges was actually voluntarily withdrawn. Looks like Trump is just trying to kick up a stink as much as he can and then slither off after being laughed out of court all the while calling foul play knowing full well his supporters will fall into line and adopt the mindset that he was robbed despite it never, ever being proven that was the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aDONisSheep Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 12 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: It's a bit melodramatic. What you've got is a vote with a very narrow majority (10). It sounds as though, there are about 150 cast ballots that may or may not be valid. Because they can't just simply throw out the questioned ballots (because they may be valid), a recount wouldn't resolve the issue. So it looks as though they will have another vote. It feels as though this is a 'down ticket' issue only, so any new ballot is likely to be for that one part of the election (not presidential). I'm sure the GOP will ask for a completely new ballot (including presidential) but I don't think they will get far. It's not a fraud, because the election commission hadn't called the down ticket race (so no-one was incorrectly elected).

The bill itself isn't racist, it's that it created opportunities to be implemented in racist ways. We know much more now that we did then about how these things can end up working in practice. And remember, crime in the US in the early 90s was much, much higher than now and tackling it was a legitimate national priority. I don't think there's a reasonable way of inferring from that bill that Biden had any expectation that it would exacerbate racial disparities in criminal justice.

Trump was saying on Twitter that has team haven't produced a lawsuit as of yet and it's just been people on behalf of him ie, voters but that his legal team will be filing there's in the coming days. Likely nonsense as usual, but that's his story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astonishing to think that some people are surprised that The Donald has absolutely no evidence for any of the bullshit he's been spouting. Even before this, if Trump had claimed the sky was blue, you'd surely be questioning your own eyesight, just to be on the safe side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
