Like mostly peaceful protests? Sounds pretty absurd to me. Or how about left wing mayor's offices telling police to stand down while people's businesses get looted? Does that sound more reasonable to you?

and those Citizens May vote otherwise sort of like how guys who sound like you say about the EC

We obviously have unlocked alien tech for alternate realities. It's the only way I can explain the world views some people live in.
How about those alternate realities instead of being alien were simply widely held and culturally transmitted prejudices about what morality really is. Suppose you were raised to fear sin and sin were defined as things quite natural to human behavior. Having swallowed such bull shit as a child you wouldn't need anybody else to fuck you up for the rest of your life. Hou would happily do that to yourself every time you felt the urge to be human.

If you look at Biden/Harris and think socialist then I question if your coworker even understands what the term means.
To Trumpers, socialism means racial equality. Think of it as a politically correct codephrase. Every time you see a conservative use the word socialism in a way outside its actual definition (which they commonly do), just substitute racial equality instead, and then it suddenly all makes sense.
So what his coworker (who almost certainly isn't really a Democrat) is saying is they won't vote for Harris because she's black.

NY and California are cesspools that have massive populations. They have created the democratic utopia and people are running like hell to get away. Thankfully there is a system in place to give less populated states a voice.
LOL, California and New York have two of the most productive economies the world has ever seen. The system in place wasn't designed to give less populated states a voice, it was designed to give slave owners an outsized voice. The slave owners lost anyway, time to scrap the system designed to prop them up.

It'd be unreasonable if it were true. The problem is that it's biased propaganda. The reason the protests aren't peaceful is because the police keep attacking the protesters for political reasons. Which is also the reason the mayor told the police to stand down.
Try to imagine if instead of being closely allied with white supremacist groups like Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys (this is documented BTW), the Portland Police instead attacked their protests the same way they attacked the BLM protesters. Suppose for example the police just tried to forcefully disarm the right-wing protesters.. how much longer do you suppose their protests would remain peaceful?

You guys have no one to blame for the upcoming loss other than yourselves. Did you really think people wouldn't turn on the party when they were openly supporting anarchy?

Thats an interesting take when Trump is down 10 to 15 points in the polls!

It's always a good laugh to see propaganda spewers claim that the wealthiest and most populous areas of the country are cesspools that no one wants to live in. Especially when you just know they're posting from some dying small town with no jobs where homes sell for less than cars.

Motherfucker, I LIVE in the heart of Portland and go downtown almost daily.
I'm a born and raised Portlander. The worst thing that's happened to Portland in 2020 hasn't been the protests, but by far the devastation wrecked on the economy from Trump's mishandling of COVID.

How much was he down in 2016? If people would have listened to the polls they wouldn't have gone out and voted. Voting for Trump was just a waste of time because he was so far down it was hopeless... Good thing people didn't listen to the lies the media is spewing. I don't believe a single poll. Simple as that.

They're not refugees, they're cashing out. California has had net migration for 30+ years, going back to even when it was Republican controlled. And speaking from long experience here in Oregon, don't go thinking they're going to change their views or their votes just because they left California. Because they won't. What they will do though is use all their money from cashing out of the California real estate market to increase the prices in your real estate market. Which is already happening in DFW.

Good for you. Maybe you can help rebuild some of the businesses that got torched in the name of peace? I'm sure they'd appreciate it after having been abandoned by the elected officials that were supposed to protect them.

As of election day in 2016 he was down by 2-3 points, lol.

He's getting demolished because people don't want anarchy in the White House - you included. Remember, you said you're voting for the Democrats, right?

When was the last time you've been to Portland and why would you know better than someone who lives there?

Yeah, Arizona is the same way. Guess what state quickly went Red, to Purple to leaning Blue in a short span? Oh and disrupting prices while they are at it.

Most of downtown is vacant because of Covid and corporations going remote. I'm one of a couple thousand people in one building that is no longer an office space. There are many others. Covid has devastated this town more than anything else. But there's also a reason we have one of the lowest case counts of any major metro city. We took it seriously.

Trump was down to Hillary between 1-7 points in the national polls, he's down around 14 right now to Biden. Of course
the "swing" states play a huge factor, one can win the general vote and still lose the election as Hillary did. Trump took a nose-dive after the debate debacle, his constant interrupting of both Biden and Wallace didn't play well with voters who sought answers and information and instead got a shit-show. Now the ignorance has produced a ton of virus positives among the GOP, the defiance of not wearing a simple mask has all of them looking like village idiots. The WTF mini-motorcade Trump just HAD to pull off didn't go well either, to trumpers it was awesome, to the rest of us it was a sad joke, a clear and unbridled showcase of just how narcissist Trump really is.

It's kind of weird to argue that nobody likes the places with some of the highest housing prices in the country.

People vote with their wallets and while I hate the housing policies that limit supply in these areas the fact that people are willing to pay so much to live in them indicates absolutely overwhelming demand.

As the thread title says, WHEN BIDEN LOSES ???
So you mean after America re-elects a delusion sickie obese guy hell bent on committing Covid suicide and taking everyone with him? You say when Joe Biden loses to THAT guy? If Donald Trump’s base, dwindling base to be exact, if Donald’s base really like him his base would take turns on suicide watch. When Donald returned to the Whitehouse, stood on the balcony, removed his mask, I actually thought Donald was going to jump. I mean, it’s hard to jump out of a hospital window, they are all sealed, but the Whitehouse balcony Donald Trump has easy access to. And he just might take advantage of that. Let us pray..... ;)

Yep, it’s all hands on board. They are trying to rally around their cult leader. Unfortunately, they know it’s a sinking ship.
lol. You don't seriously believe that do you? Any hope you guys had went out the fucking window when you guys let a bunch of anarchist losers rape and pillage the very towns you live in. You woke up a sleeping giant. The american people are going to speak loud and clear this election and you aren't going to like their answer.
