Genuine question:
Why are the Democrats pushing "he's going to delay the election, we need to get him on record saying the election won't be delayed or affected" when ultimately, in November, it will be the Democrats begging to have the election delayed mid-COVID wave as anti-science Republicans across the country flock to vote Trump back in?
Seems like an extreme political blunder to be pulling these stunts.
Dems are not going to ask to delay the election, even in the middle of a horrific second outbreak.
I don't know, I extremely doubt it.
I see us slowly approaching the trainwreck of November 3rd with news of no infrastructure, news that low-income workers are most affected by the pandemic but are being asked to interact with a voting system at points of especially bad/unsafe areas en masse and w/ limited locations available at low notice etc. and the Democrats (coming as a shock at the 11th hour like morons) will (rightfully) bring this up at the last possible second as Trump self-righteously denies the pleas of Democrats and continues on as planned.
Not that acquiring self-righteousness matters in the slightest, but how petty will it have been to blindly allow Democrats to call Trump's bluff by making him see the dictator for a potential delay of election when ultimately I likely see an in-person election as a strong net win for Trump.
Also, in addition to the last minute closure of voting locations in dense low-income neighbors, imagine a bunch of non-mask wearing assholes forcefully breaking protocols by coughing on people or any other forms of voter intimidation.
The GE could be historic in terms of political shock to both sides of the nation, in either event things could get extreme from either side of the aisle.
I think nothing much will happen to be honest because Biden and Trump aren't going to lead these protests.
Biden loses and the infighting in the Democratic party begins again, with op-eds and pundits arguing that Sanders, Warren or Pete would've won.
Hollywood actors and journalists say they're moving to Canada, for real this time.
Trump loses and he and his friends run for the lifeboats while the Republicans try to distance themselves from the Trumps as much as possible.
For his 'own the libs' base he's just another cuck loser who got his as handed to him by Joe Biden (which would be damn funny btw)
He's not going to lead a protest to contest the election results but instead tells his voters to tune into Trump TV to get the REAL NEWS or sucker them into whatever grift he has aligned next.
I can only see protests happening locally in a 'Florida recount' type of bullshit situation but I think whoever wins will do so decisively and the down ballot races will match up with the result as well.
