Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Remember, Trump believes in a conspiracy against him.

And Trump interrupted again. He's claiming that Democrats keep talking about shutting down and people are dying.

He's claiming Barron was positive then it just went away. Young people are fine.

Biden just made a plexiglass divider dig.

Trump is claiming New York is a ghost town.

The host is beginning to lose control of Trump.

Which is extra rage inducing because in MA at least most infections right now are driven by younger people not taking precautions.

Trump is bragging about how much money his (broke) campaign has.

#334738: Oct 22nd 2020 at 6:26:55 PM

Trump's back to claiming Fauci said don't wear masks, it won't be a problem, and he's a Democrat — but that's okay.

Biden's response: remember that Trump was told back in January that was a very serious virus and worse than the flu. But he said he didn't want to tell anyone because he didn't want anyone to panic. ('Americans don't panic. He panicked.')

Pretty strong performance from Biden so far. Let's hope the Hunter attacks don't trip him up like last time.

And we’re on foreign interference, Biden has bought up how Rudi is an agent of the Russian government.

Trump is doing decently, but he needs a miracle and that's not it.

Biden is doing quite good, he's going to be fine.

Biden has couched election interference in terms of American sovereignty.

Trump: raises the Biden hard drive.

And Biden has responded with Trump paying more tax to China than to the US.
