The great 2020 election thread....

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

"both sides"
Are you implying that the left is by default more civil and respectful? I got a couple of memes I can throw your way if you do.
LF devolving into talking points of strawmans they have on the other side of the political spectrum they hate rather than actually analyzing the criticisms of fans and responding accordingly. :lol:

And those people are as full-blown drama-queen leftist SJWs as you can get.

Donald Trump refused to denounce right wing terrorist groups, even going the extra mile of telling Proud Boys to "stand down and stand by".

"Both sides" isn't flying.

He didn't say 'stand down', he said "stand back". That's a small, but important distinction.

Holy Hecate, Biden is moving to ELIMINATE PRIVATE PRISONS. That alone is a huge reason to vote for him even if I have to take dramamine while I do it.

There is nothing wrong with a private corporation running a prison if its run well. Especially as the end result is going to be billions of taxpayer money.

I seriously do not have the mental energy to deal with that statement right now. Fuzzy, you want to just scream incoherently at him for a while on my behalf?

Was that aimed at me? Because I do not see what you are getting at. My only guess is that a private prison has a different meaning in the US than in the UK.

What I wrote was directed at your post, but the image about voting rights was completely unrelated. I really should've put them in separate posts to make that more clear, but I was very tired at the time, and so it didn't occur to me. Sorry for the confusion.


I promise to rant more coherently at you about private prisons later, when i have the time.
