a) lol'd at "too many choices" and it's from the perfect poster to say such a ridiculous thing...
b) there's over 50 people on this board...?
c) A lot of people not registered with either bona fide trash team relative to how discussion goes here...

I'm hoping to vote for JJ...but if polling is close, I'll likely bite the bullet and vote for Biden...
It is a good quality that you (and dodint) are willing to cross the line and vote with people that you fundamentally disagree with.

If it were to come to the point, where the democrats nominated someone objectively ill-suited and unqualified, I would hope I could make that decision.
I'm not quoting you to @ you, it's just that this is the topic line I wanted to address. I feel like a lot of where we are in this divisiveness is because it's 'my team' vs 'your team'. If you took away parties and had your choice between candidates that had nothing to do with the political continuum, I wonder how many of those that call themselves by one team would actually vote for the guy on the other team. And maybe speaking from my independent status skews my thinking on that but I just don't understand how people can take a step back and look at the presidential candidates or Senate candidates in Kentucky and South Carolina, most notably, and say that I'm going to pick that guy because my registration card practically says I have to. I'd hope that people would be able to think for themselves and not just follow 'the party line'.

I'll be glad when this election crap is over.

I think the complication is that we seamlessly move between the individual candidates and the agendas when it suits our specific arguments. I don't think anyone here is voting for Trump or Biden, and I know that there is an element of voting for/against the party agendas, but those discussions have been completely glossed over by Trump's maniacal personality disorders.

My vote is a combination of two things:

1. Trump is a complete f*cking lunatic and his personality has brought other loons out of the woodwork. Biden is pretty normal and has no cult following
2. My beliefs on the issues fall more in line with democrat's views than republican's views overall.

The first will never change in my mind. The latter may (and has since my first presidential election).

Bernie has a cult following. Biden does not except maybe Leslie Knope.

Yeah, I don't think Biden has a cult following (especially in relation to Trump)...senselessly, I think the Democratic Party has developed a bit of a cult following because - again, for no real good reason - some people associate them with our progressive social climate...

Biden is the figurehead of this poorly-drawn organization, sure, but I think there's a distinction to be made...

In any case, I think - just specifically WRT cult followings - Trump has them all beat...

Yeah, Democrats as a whole as a cult is a bit of a stretch.

That, and the idea that Republicans have anything to do with our "progressive social climate" other than fighting it at every step...

Not sure if it's directed at me or if I'm just missing it...but I didn't see anyone even come close to suggesting that the Republican Party has anything to do with the progressive social climate that we're in now...

Well it didn't just happen, somebody fought for and passed laws to make it so.

Let's just cut to the chase on this...the Democratic Party is a sewer filled with trash people and they promote those trash people, just like the Republican Party...their "advantage" in the moral high ground game is minimal, and most of it is given and not earned because folks that actually care about social issues have no place else to go to even have a chance to have their voice heard because of the two-party, partisan hackery that exists in this country at the moment...it's a de facto title, fine, but it's mostly because the other team forfeited any semblance of interest not because the Dems broadly do much in the way of positives in this light...

Or, in shorter terms, if you guys were actually good at this and promoted what some people in this thread say that they do, you wouldn't be in the hole so many elections in this political climate...

Now, naturally, there are good actors in the party...as there tends to be, scattered about in any political machine...but the Democratic Party, Inc. is a bad entity...as far left as you are, I assumed you had at least intellectually graduated past the confines of the party itself, but perhaps I'm mistaken...

I'm amazed that this has turned into an extension of the political thread. Amazed.

A pretty good reason some people associate them with our progressive social climate...

Will there be an election night thread similar to a GDT? Do I need to rev up a pick-a-state like pick-a-pen? Though, I don't know how I'd structure that.

Ah yes, the renegade poll. Yeah, y'all can just score that one on everybody's accuracy. I'm not that politically tuned in to guess each individual state.

Election Day thread will be up sometime after midnight this evening.

Now that it's official, I have voted in this poll...I held up my end of the deal: if it was close, I'd swallow my pride and vote for Biden...so I did, forgive me Jo Jo...

Actually, of the three races that I voted in, my ballot was two Dems and one Libertarian...hopefully I'm not kicked out of the club because I did vote against stop and frisk and voted for a community oversight committee of the police...that's 3 of 5 things towards liberty at least...
