Will Biden win the election.?

For what its worth, I think he will. Not my country caveat applies. I thought Trump and Hillary were 50/50 four years ago but now I think its highly unlikely Trump can win. Its possible but I'd say Biden is 85-90% to become President and will probably win convincingly. Judging from some of very many bad arguments that Trump supporters are putting forward on here, it seems that they think so to. Whether they admit to it or not.

Im not a Biden fan and I think that thete are a lot if legitimate criticisms one can make of him. I think that there is still a significant differences between the two candidates, with Trump being much worse.

The nationalist right needs to lose its global figurehead. Problems are deeper - in Ametica and elsewhere - but a Biden win would be good for the world.

Biden will win and then Trump will start his own media company.

@BlueVeins I do think that is the direction he's heading in, to give himself the narcissistic bullhorn he needs.

@BlueVeins @windinhishair Yeah, one way or another the circus will continue. He will spend even more time on Twitter and claim the election was fixed but he won't be President amymore. That is assuming he loses, which is probable but not certain.

@BlueVeins Thanks. I'm gonna watch those now actually. I'm a fan of Kyle. He shouts a bit too much for my gentile British sensibilities but he is very logical and does his research. When he does talk about UK politics, that applies too. Unlike TYT, who were awful at it.

I don't agree with Kyle's decision to abstain in the election (I'm with Chomsky) though he does have a very valid point about voter shaming being counter-productive.

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Burnley123 I agree with every part of this. I actually blocked TYT on YouTube because they're such a fucking tabloid.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@BlueVeins I mean they have a huge following and are a big asset to the American left and we have nothing on that scale in the UK, but yeah it is very tabloidy and they are lazy about doing research. They surely have the budget to do proper journalism and failing that they could just Skype a sympathetic and informed person in the UK and do a live interview. It costs virtually nothing and there would be lots of people who would do it. Cenk Uygur likes the sound of his own voice too much. Though Kasparian is decent and came on Novarra Media too.

Having said all that though, I'd be glad that it is there because the left need all the sympathetic platforms they can get. It's also probably a gateway drug to better channels.

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Burnley123 I honestly sometimes wonder if having them around is a net negative just because of how brazenly they ignore the truth. I dunno, I hope they work as a gateway drug though.

@BlueVeins Assuming he doesn't go to prison for tax and insurance fraud. But you're right, he'd love nothing better than to spend the rest of his life on TV, bitching and moaning about how "unfairly" he was treated.
