Biden for President? Pt 3
He didn't "win" on his message either. He didn't move the dial much from McCain's and Mitten's numbers, showing that the absolute ceiling for the republicans is 60,000,000 and shrinking. He "won" because the republicans, seeing that Hilary Clinton was vulnerable organised the biggest voter disenfranchisement system in the history of the state, bigger than pre-CRA Jim Crow, almost as big as slavery.

Numerology?! I guess Trumpanzees are superstitious in more ways than one.

Oh, you wanna play the 666 card? You should compare notes with the author of this page and see what you come up with. . .

My initial point was that when asking are you better off than blahblahblah, for many, there are metrics beyond the pocketbook. This is reflected by Biden's lead in the polls, I think, though it may not matter electorally. I understand that many vote their pocketbook; I've been involved in politics since I was first eligible to vote in 1976, so this is far from my first rodeo. In my first post on this subject, I should have typed that the country is worse off rather than "we're" worse off, if only for clarity. I say this because I can think of no metric in which 9,549,011 people contracting COVID-19, and 236,893 perishing from it can in any way be honestly, objectively termed "better off." But I also realize people do that, and will vote their feelings.
I never bothered posting in politics very much before Trump was elected, mostly because you don't change many minds very often, and all it ever seems to accomplish is to make one a bit flustered. But I dislike Trump intensely, and have to vent every now and again. I'm hoping that after this election I won't have to bother anymore, but that hope is fading. Two weeks ago I was confident he was out, but now I'm thinking he's getting the electoral college. |

Also, there is an important thing that happens pretty much all the time and certainly happened last time:
Republicans vote Republican Democrats vote Democrat You can stick a Democrat or Republican badge on a steaming pile of feces, and it won't change the voting habits of either. In fact the Republicans are doing that right now (LOL! had to say it), and seriously, the Democrats would do exactly the same. |

No you are wrong, the math is correct 2020 ÷ 666 = 3.0330303303033030330
It is "30330" to infinity after the first "3.0330" not just 3."033" repeating. This brought to you and chosen by a campaign that is highly symbolic in everything it does. EX:The recent Warm Springs GA Biden rally to reassure "healing" etc. Perhaps just an odd thing to happen by accident that no expert in the Biden camp happened to notice....A campaign that evidently does not focus on numbers. |

A dog whistle for the large group of undecided Satanists?
That makes sense. |

I will be very disappointed in Biden if he makes a victory speech and inauguration speech that both lack the phrase "You're fired".
