So just to be clear, you're content to have a world view where every individual who votes for Trump is a piece of shit, yes?

So just to be clear, you're content to have a world view where every individual who votes for Trump is a piece of shit, yes? Damn straight. Even if you happened to agree with Trump and his very weird policy agenda, and even if you're happy with that fluctuating to meet the present needs of Trump ra...

Becuase the logic is if you don't share their view you are not decent so your construction fails. It is entirely circular but there you are. Fundamentally, it's a moralising world-view with all the hallmarks of something religious. Which is kind of ironic. It's a funny one. There isn't a shred of s...

There are plenty of people out there who have solid empirical grounds in their own lives and the lives of their family to feel Trump's doing fine. The whys and wherefores of how he's managing it don't matter as much . We're not saying we're not aware millions of people will vote for Trump, only tha...

On the economy, what he has to show is trajectory and jobs coming back. I think he's a strong chance on both counts. Interesting that the USA's recovery will be so much quicker than elsewhere. Here in Australia economists are predicting that job losses will peak in the first half of 2021. I'd be wa...

I feel that the point here is you're missing the point.

I hope you are both horribly wrong. The problem is, your arguments are at least plausible, if not compelling. Plus I don't much like the look of Biden. I think the Primary Model is very, very compelling. Norpoth is a quietly spoken German immigrant. When it was put to him that his 91% call was flyi...

Well done Trump for not f u cking that up in three years Yes. That's exactly the point. For a lot of people. The point is though that now it is f u cked and Trump is a loon who will no doubt give even more tax giveaways to the rich. I feel that the point here is you're missing the point. There are ...

And it ain't going to be Covid. I'm curious about why you're sure of this? Leaving aside how much of the response is actually Trump's fault, the perception is pretty clearly that the White House hasn't handled the situation well and the situation is getting worse. I'd say 200K+ deaths and a tanking...

I was surprised by how limited Rinkal's list of motivations were for the average Trump voter. It was almost as if he was thinking of a cardboard caricature rather than an actual human being. A lot of that kind of thinking doing the rounds these days. More's the pity. It definitely adds to the tides...

Well I suppose, following from the previous point, the reason so many people don't know what non-MAGA Trump voters are like is because non-MAGA Trump voters don't let anybody know what they are like. For sure. Nonetheless, you have to be in the habit of thinking the very worst of others before you'...

It's unlikely he'll lose. Helmut Norpoth's Primary Model has successfully called 24 out of the last 26 elections. He turned up in an unheralded Fox Business segment a few weeks back and announced the model predicted a 91% chance of Trump's re-election. It's a simple but ingenious methodology that m...

Seems increasingly clear both in the UK and in America that being left or right wing is essentially meaningless to most supporters of these political parties.

If Biden produces his tax returns at the beginning of October the 2020 election will be remembered as being lost by Trump because he refused to show his. The last time he obfuscated, but he will not be able to fall back on the same excuses. Every debate shall open and close with, Well Mr president,...
