US Elections 2020 thread

[chveik]

I own firearms in the UK.

why?

[bgmnts]

Small penis innit.

[Ferris]

why?

I go target shooting and clay pigeon shooting when I'm in the UK. Why? Because I grew up doing it, I suppose. I used to shoot full-bore rifle at county level when I was a nipper and am still quite a good skeet shooter (if a little rusty).

[Fambo Number Mive]

Is it shotguns you use? I know nothing about guns so sorry if this seems a silly question.

I have a shotgun certificate and S1 certificate for rifles in the UK. Shotgun for clays, rifles for target shooting.

Could you wank on about guns in another thread please

[machotrouts]

Gentlemen, you can't wank on about guns in here. This is the US Elections 2020 thread!

I made this joke about something in the "PHWOAR" thread and it received no praise, despite "PHWOAR" sounding like "WAR".

[Monsieur Verdoux]

That's because I'd made the same 'PHWOAR room' joke months prior

Well look at Richard Pryor here

Ok guys settle the debate for me...

Only if the money is right.

It was a good joke, in fairness.

There is, without a doubt, a directive to give Bernie as little coverage as possible.

Carcetti is Mayor Pete. Beto is the journalist who makes up some stories because he can't be arsed doing proper work in season 5.

Bernie is Lester.

Carcetti is Mayor Pete- nice rhethoric but an over-educated asshole
Beto is McNulty- kind of a fuck up, heart is the right place most times, probably fun to hang with- women love him, adept but widely overestimates his own ability
Booker is Lester
Sanders is Omar
Warren is Pearlman

[bgmnts]

Who is Landsman?

[Ferris]

Who is Landsman?

He's the area lieutenant (under Colvin) in the western district during season 3, but that's not important right now.

[Urinal Cake]

Who is Landsman?

Klobuchar

[Urinal Cake]

I think this Hunter Biden-Ukraine thing could lead to less support for Biden which would be a good thing. Though then they'd be more money for Mayor Pete.

[Twed]

Mayor Pete would instigate a massive Demexit.

The only possible candidates now are Biden, Bernie, Warren and the jail one (temporarily forgot name).

[Twed]

Sandra.

[Paul Calf]

Buttigieg.

Buttigieg

Giggity.

He will not be president ever.

If you think that's shallow, I urge you to consider the last three years - the last three decades - of US, Western, world politics.

[Twed]

He's a wet blanket who everybody hates. No chance. Just like Beto his run is just a grift at this point.

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Well look at Richard Pryor here

I'd long since stopped using the joke because it's just a reminder of our own perceived wretchedness

[Fambo Number Mive]

Looks like the Democratic candidates had a good time at the Polk Country Fryup: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49785418

Senator Kamala Harris danced her way into the Steak Fry

Good old Joe's got some big forearms on him, furry veiny forearms, formidable. You'd have him doing busywork for you. Just a hairy, musclebound all-punching all-catholic guy's guy, enjoys his time off and puts in the hard graft when the time comes. He may have lost half a step in his old age, but he's still several steps ahead of most anyone about now. They built them hard as nails back in the day. Love if they dug up Corn Pop so Joe could do wrestling moves on the corpse and turn to the camera and say "This is what we do behind the gym to no goodnicks like you, Donald Trump and _{bernie sanders}. Joe Biden and _{bernie sanders} are the same height at the shoulder, but Joe Biden is taller overall because of his longer and regal head shape."

Mark my words, when the primaries start kicking off in earnest, you are going to see a lot of news stories about supposed problematic behaviour of Bernie supporters. The narrative is going to be "they are just the same as the Trump thugs".

Already they're doing the "his supporters criticised another candidate's policies, this is harassment". No you pricks, it's a primary. Just because it's something you don't understand (having values, standards, wanting to improve things) does not make it harassment. Expecting your candidates to have to EXPLAIN THEMSELVES is not harassment just because it's inconvenient.

I mean, it's started into that pretty firmly on Twitter over the past week or so I've noticed.

Plus a few articles emerging like this https://jezebel.com/angelica-ross-left-twitter-after-a-weekend-of-harassmen-1838335413 which conflates a few critical responses from Sanders supporters with a barrage of MAGA ones.

I don't care how sophomoric I considered American Idiot in the past, I'm fucking listening to it right now.
