I'm calling b.s. Do you have a link to said video? Arkansas, outside of a few grimy cities, is a fine state. California is 25% awesome and 75% terrible.

 Whoa, bro. Were you boxed as I was responding to you? Short ropes.

The reason I ask is because it can be very easy to lose sight of the fact that there are more people who identify as liberal in America. Not all always turn out but under covid conditions, where many people aren't missing work to vote because they're out of work, or working remotely already. They're more in tuned to such things given the increased time on their hands. And they now have the ability to vote from home. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

Which city/region? Which state? I'm not asking for your adress. Just the general region of where you live.

What city do you live in?

Probably more than usual this cycle given that there were people who watched the first debate and said, "Man, Biden's looking/sounding really old and not all there." Then there were people who watched the second debate and said the same about Trump.

@icemantbi

How much of those videos are real, and how many are fake? There are tons of fake videos being produced and disseminated online, mainly through social media. I mean, that's not how ballots/voting works. You don't just have soneone sign their name on a random ballot.

 I agree with most of that, in theory. I lean conservative but I am ultra liberal on certain issues. However, I am vehemently for mass deportations, and it is a key issue for me. Having open borders is bad for the economy, and bad for the country. Regardless of how some will try to spin it, the economic stimulation that comes from illegals living, working, existing, does compensate for the added drain on the economy. And while some may be out of touch, or possibly too elitist to realize it, dropping more poor people into communities with existing poor people, draining already limited resources for said people, you're not doing these people any favors. The drugs that pickyback through relaxed borders, fent specifically, is decimating communities across the U.S. These aren't asylum seekers. We have to stop rolling out the red carpet. Merit based immigration is what we need.

Likewise, I am for tariffs, when used correctly. I see a lot of talk of the cost of tariffs being passed on the consumer. I have always been under the impression that the whole idea of tariffs was to promote domestic production by removing the incentive to purchase cheap foreign, usually Chinese, made goods. Now there are certain things we just aren't going to start producing here. If I need a clothes hamper, I want the ability to just go buy a cheaply made Walmart clothes hamper. However, something like steel, we have a history of producing in the country. We need to move away from a reliance on cheap, Chinese steel. Tariffs would promote that. As we lose production jobs to automation, the more things we can produce domestically, the better. We are literally turning our biggest enemy into the world's biggest super power one Amazon purchase at a time.

And on the subject of foreign policy, I do not agree with funding Ukraine's war with Russia, nor Israel's in the middle east. These are the biggest issues to me this election cycle. 

What are you talking about? You didn't ask a question. What warranted a response?

The Swiss or the Swedes?

I think debates sway few voters, and they are essentially nust TV shows at this point. They exist for ratings (money).

That's propaganda, Joe. Please explain how having Ukraine join Nato, or funding this proxy war with Russia, is a future life saver. It only destabilizes the region and could possibly lead to American boots on the ground, which would cost lives. It has led to Russia and North Korea teaming up, which makes us less safe.

What are some of those superior policies, besides being pro-choice? And to be clear, i'm not saying being pro-choice is "superior".

His contract is gonna be pretty insane. Been saying this to all my Niner fan homies since Dak signed.

What made you say he played amazingly? I didn't watch the game but his stat line/play by play was butt.

 Tell us you bet on the Cowboys without telling us you bet on the Cowboys.

This. The pass legislation with bipartisan support that affects all Americans yet never gets air time on CNN or Fox News.

Trump: Complains about gooseneck mic stand, adjusts it to show it's too low, mimes how he has to bend down to speak into it.

Democrats: "Oh my god, Trump is jerking off a microphone and simulating giving it head."

This is really all they have. "Trump is horrible. He sucks off microphones and wants to shoot Liz Cheney." Oh, and, "Stay away from our vaginas!"

Tons of stability in this thread.

Nowhere in post 110 do I say that, or even imply it.
