Wasn’t it Hillary that just recently advised Biden not to concede the election under any circumstances?
 
I usually go by platform and ideology, which is why I'm voting for No Jorgensen.
 
I believe nearly every voter will each base their decision primarily on one of the following factors.

(1) Strictly Ideological ~ The GOP is committed to Capitalism / The Democrat Party has converted to Socialism.

(2) Candidate's platform ~ Candidates share the specific platforms they believe will benefit the nation.(hopefully)

(3) MSM reports/opinions ~ Undeniably; MSM is extremely ideological with access to every mind.

(4) Never Trump ~ And this factor will include both Dems and Pubs.

(5) Party loyalty ~ This factor in some cases can be a family tradition.
A mixture of the top two. Just because a candidate is a member of the party I primarily vote for doesn't mean I'll vote for that candidate. For example I didn't vote for McCain in 2008 elections and Romney in the 2012 elections because I know they are **** sucking piece of shit back stabbing liberals who magically decided that they were conservative because they were running for president. I didn't vote for Trump in the 2016 elections because he previously supported leftist things, donated to liberal and RINO republicans IE the establishment, friends with the Clintons, and praised the jobs those liberals and RINOs did. Because of those things I thought every issue he campaigned on was a utter lie. But seeing how he proven himself as president I will vote for him in the upcoming elections.

When did Jimmy Carter . . .

seek a political enemy's help to win an election and lie about it?
bribe a foreign leader for personal political gain and lie about it?
promise to release his tax returns, then sue to avoid doing that?
call white supremacists "very fine people" and offend minorities?
rape a woman, pay her to keep it secret, and brag he can do it?
try to prevent citizens from voting by defunding all post offices?
tell everyone medically proven methods of saving lives are bad?
base a travel ban on religious bigotry instead of actual danger?
spend thousands of tax dollars on playing golf at fancy resorts?
give up on health care after the legislature rejected some bills?
insult troops who were either killed in wars or prisoners of war?

If you can't answer ALL of these questions, you have NO reason to call Jimmy Carter the worst President.
Carter was a nuke officer in the Navy. He wasnt the best President but he was definitely not the worst.

I do believe you're right, Overitall.....

Except that Democrats believe what is said is totally relative to who says it...
 
Trump and the Repubs up for re-election need to go., all of them.

And when it’s said.
 
We voted Friday. The line was long and diverse. The conversation was overwhelmingly Dem.

My Personal Economy.

Or as Bill Clinton Said, "It's the economy, stupid".




My economy has been better with Trump
than experienced via RepubloCrats Clinton - Bush, Jr. - Obama



A Biden presidency would protect Wall St.
And tax working Americans to pay the bill
for Welfare Folks as ObamaCare does via premiums
and corrupt policies. Imagine a family of 4 with
a Silver ObamaCare Plan and they all get the "virus"
the same month. Do the math. I HAVE. Obscene!



Moi, M.D. ret.
 
The number one issue according to this:
Important issues in the 2020 election | Pew Research Center
the economy is number one . Covid is fourth. Do you have a poll showing how many voters blame Trump for Covid?
I do..

2/3 of the polled say that he sucks at handling covid19

None of the above. My votes have always been for the welfare of our Republic and it always will be.

Getting us the **** out of fascism. #4 is the closest match to that. All else is secondary at this point.
 
Our country is in an awful state right now. Not all down to Trump but I believe the country will begin to move in a better direction if Trump is not President. The only realistic opportunity for that is for Biden to win.
 
Where did I say I like Trump? I don’t like to assume the reason why people hate Trump. That would be foolish of me. But voting against a man only because you hate him doesn’t require a whole lot of effort to educate yourself on what positions the man is actually running on. You might be shooting yourself in the foot because you’re blinded by your hate.

If you are educated about Donald Trump, you know he badly failed to keep promises that tricked Republicans into thinking he would be a better president than Hillary Clinton. It is not blind hate when I actually am educated about the man.
 
Trump will be regarded by History as the worst US president ever.

Trump will be regarded as one of the sleaziest, slimiest, most narcissistic and deceitful, greedy, selfish, everything-phobic humans known to the masses. It will be a existential embarrassment to the United States for at least 500 years. It will literally take at least 100 years to make America "great" again.

Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where no matter what he did, he couldn't get the stench out of a used BMW he bought. The smell of Trump on the USA will be like that.

Thanks Clara, but mistrusting isn’t exactly the same as blaming. One of the problems I have with polls, such as yours, is the sampling size and demographics. How many of each class were asked and how were the questions phrased. I would like to think that an equal amount Republicans, Democrats and independents were asked. Were every state polled? The same issues exists with the poll I cited. I generally try to avoid them in discussions.
 
No single one of the above. It is a combo of Ideology (pro and con), Platform, Never Trump, Party Preference, with the addition of Leery of Anti-democracy movement.

Ideology because Trump and Republicans believe in govt distribution of $wealth$ be top down whereas I and somewhat the Dem party and Biden are more for getting $ to the avg American.

Platform because the day of Biden is OK compared to the horrid night of Trump and the Reps white nationalistic, trickle-tinkle-down (that never gets to the roots) privatization of govt for profit and socialization of cost.

Never Trump because I would rather have a president of democratic behavior than an autocrat of dictatorial behavior.

Party because they at least keep the avg American and those with the least head above (keep treading, though) and care about nations working together and the future of our planet that the future of Americans and all the human race depend on.

And, the anti-democracy movement lead by leaders like Trump and those Trump embraces that threaten American and all democracy, pushing countries into nationalism that so often leads to self-destruction/war where a nation's demise always comes from... within, not from outside.

You have an opinion. Trumpsters have theirs. I voted for Obama over Hillary based on my opinion of her. Funny I didn’t see her whining about losing to him even though it was a very close race.

After the primary season wrapped up on Tuesday, Clinton commended her supporters and claimed once again that she had won the popular vote: "Nearly 18 million of you cast your votes for our campaign, carrying the popular vote with more votes than any primary candidate in history."

If it had been any other election, I would have gone with platforms. But I voted Never Trump because after four years of him dividing this nation along political, economic and racial lines, having to listen to the lies over and over (especially the ones where he didn't need to), the fact that he made the US the laughing stock of the world...and those are just some of the reasons PRIOR to his poor handling of COVID-19...

It's kind of a no-brainer for those of us who didn't drink the Trump Kool-Aid.
 
Trump is a threat to the Constitution, like many of his staff have said.

Trump has to go.
