The Democratic Primaries are effectively over barring some novel insanity, and it certainly looks like 2020 is going to be a contest between sitting president Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden. Also the variety of nominal third parties who will also be on some of the ballots. This is the thread to talk about general election polling and news and debate the merits and flaws of various candidates, plus any remaining news from the Democratic primary.

All D&D rules are in effect. In addition: put arguments on trial, not posters. Respond to points made and evidence posted, do not spend your time accusing others of being evil, or insane, or stupid, or entitled for their positions. Especially do not do so as a first resort. Use your report button. Use your ignore button. This is a place to debate and discuss, not defeat your posting enemies in forums combat.

That's an attack. Trump defending Biden is functionally an attack on Biden because it's Trump going "Look, see, we're not so different. Why, he's a lot like me and also has people accusing him of fake rapes. Oh what, YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT JOE BIDEN RAPED SOMEONE?!"

That's actually legitimately the best way Trump could go about this whether he knows it or not: publicly and loudly conflate himself and Kav - two people Dems hate with a burning fury - with Biden.

This. I live in a red state so gently caress the protest voting circle jerk. But I ain't voting for any rapists this November. I'll write in Bernie and focus on downticket races. No votes for loving rapist warmongers. Good luck to y'all in swing states, but that ain't my fight.

I don't remember if I posted or just drafted and decided not to post (:justpost:) in the Freep thread, but yeah. One of the wonderfully insidious weapons the RNC has is comparing Biden to Trump or Kavanaugh w.r.t. rape/sexual misconduct allegations. The democratic base is splitting over it, and all the opposition has to do is hit the wedge harder.

Oh, it's not going to help Biden at all, but I don't think Trump's being clever; he was the one asked about this, after all. It's probably not meant as an attack, even if it effectively is one. He has a history of doing that sort of thing, saying nice things about or defending someone he sees as similar in some way; here, the similarity is being accused of rape, which Trump thinks is unfair to him because he's like that.

I'm just going to assume he's being clever and knows what he's doing. Thinking your enemy is an idiot is a great way to get surprised by your enemy.
