    During Covid lockdown I may have missed a lot of things but could someone PLEASE tell me why the Dems decided on an elderly man to lead them in. I honestly just don't get it.


    Old people. There's a lot of them and they vote.

    I think he will win unless there is voter fraud by the Democrats. Trump will be a disaster for another 4 years but the alternative is even worse. America facing some tough times ahead.

    The country is more divided than ever.

    Big gap between the rich and the poor.

    I hope Biden wins it but I have a feeling he will be too laidback to tackle the problems America faces.

    The alternative is worse? The democrats are so bad that a proven liar, who is barely even able to form coherent sentences, unable to interpret basic facts and figures, probably has at least one major personality disorder and gets by by trading on slogans and causing fights between different groups is better?

    Cmon, you don't actually believe that this puppet of a figure is the best choice out there?

    (I think he will win or if it looks like he won't, he will step down or come up with some lame excuse)

    Ah now you honestly think the democrats are more likely to commit voter fraud than the Republicans?

    I think Trump will just about shade it. Republicans usually have a more solid voter base and don't have to appeal to such a wider audience.

    Biden is not a good candidate, also. They Dems messed that up.

    Early dementia Vs NPD at least, what a time to be alive!

    Edit: neither has been proven, some mental health professionals have speculated on Trump and his behaviour is consistent with narcissistic disorders.

    Indeed - the first 2-3 years of Russian conspiracy theories on social media and in the mainstream media did the Presidency no favours.

    Two guys who are probably 3 or 4 years away from the dementia ward. How can America not find two better candidates than this.

    Besides, even the very topic of voter fraud is a weak attempt at subterfuge and noise making (at best) and also very handy excuse for a sore loser (and on the off chance that he runs AND looses, is will be the biggest exhibition of toys from pram throwing tantrums the world has seen).

    Voter fraud is actually very low. It's just another thing that gets trotted out that people lazily parrot without checking and gets disproportionate air time. But why let facts spoil things.

    It's hard to know.

    I think Biden will win because Hillary beat Trump on popular vote and she was a terrible candidate and Trump said all the right things.

    Now we've seen what Trump can do I don't know if he'll get the votes required. I don't really know how he's perceived over there on the ground. The tax cuts were well received by a lot of Americans.

    I hope Trump does it.

    It's a win win for me either way. Either Trump wins or Sleepy Joe wins and we get 4 years of him making gaffes and being openly racist. And then at the end of the 4 years when same problems exist I'll be able roll out the proof that Trump wasn't the problem. Remember BLM started during Bidens tenure.

    Imagine if BLM was started under Trumps tenure. We'd be hearing how he was the reason for it. Yet no one says Obama/Biden was the reason for it.

    When is the first debate? I can't wait. Joey is going to be dominated by Trump.

    I really doubt voter fraud is that low.

    In Ireland how many polling cards are sent out to dead people each time?? Loads. And that's Ireland, a small country that should be easy to get right.

    Say what you want about Trump but the mans energy is something else for a man of 74. He's non stop, on the go the whole time. His daily updates on coronavirus went on for HOURS.

    Meanwhile Sleepy hasn't even left his basement.

    Go look at the numbers.
    'loads' doesn't count.
    Note, I haven't looked at Irish cards sent to the dead, but I'm willing to bet it's statistically irrelevant. Especially ones that are then fraudulently used.

    You backed up my point perfectly tho, thanks!

    Cannot be ageist, cannot be black, cannot speak up for females, cannot say anything now.

    Anyway FOUR MORE YEARS beckons of Trump and his coterie, but if that's what is decided so be it.

    If Trump wins Ivanka is on the stumps pretty quickly and the groundwork is being done by Daddy now I think.

    Onwards we go with an idiot Twitter President who actually has good advisers in the long run. I THINK!

    Trump has the support of the public service, the grey vote and the far right. No matter how much the business owners pretend to want equality for all they wont want this rioting. Their staff want peace and quiet above minimum wage level. Secretly a huge amount of red votes are going to be blue votes. They may even cry and call foul when the blues win but id say a huge amount of red will be petrified at how out of control it is and will want stability and vote blue in private.

    They will keep their dreads and hemp trousers but will vote trump or not vote atall, maybe even vote none of the above then go back to partying with their other liberal buddies who also pretended to vote for joe .

    By the time election roles around the only people who will want biden to win will be welfare recipients and criminals. They probably wont actually vote.

    It will be a bloodbath.

    nah, its trending #1 on twitter, stories coming out that Pence was told to go on standby when Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, This story isn't going away, Trump is trying to quell it but failing miserably (as he does with everything)

    . . . That's where America is right now, and other parts of the western world are following suit to varying extents.

    Those are only concerns of the echo chamber that is the twitter verse. American voters concerns in no particular order and are all intertwined to a greater or lesser extent depending on their party alignment under the following subjects.

    1. Jobs and economic prospects. (especially with the COVID shutdowns)
    2. Healthcare.
    3. Social security.
    4. Immigration
    5. Taxation.
    6. Cost of living.

    Other concerns but ranked lower priority are automation killing jobs (i.e. learn to code), Guns, Abortion, Pollution & environment, Crime & personal safety, the military, education debt, drug addiction and poverty.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    It's internet doctor ing whatever the source, like at the start of the pandemic it was trending in Twitter that black people were resistant to Covid-19 because of high melalin levels ,in case you've not heard, it's been hammering BAME communities in the real world, but it's a good example of how accurate woke Twitter is in terms of medicine.

    I suppose its karma on Trump for all his idiotic claims about Bidens health, the more he squirms and has to issue denials the better.

    Trump will win, i like him, i think he's been the best POTUS since possibly Reagan.

    You only have to blame the democrats though, 2 elections and they've put Clinton and now Biden up against him, don't they want to win??

    If Trump supporters look at the gaffes of Biden and come to the conclusion that he has dementia, then why don't they look at the litany of Trump gaffes and come to the same conclusion? If it were Biden who'd said in a speech that the Revolutionary Army took over airports, you can bet that they'd be all over it and pretty much saying that Biden needs to drop out of the race on the grounds of being mentally unfit. But that Trump said it? Hardly a peep.

    You can't have it both ways on the matter, and if you try then really you're just displaying clear confirmation bias.
