I thought @Jason he was in favor of absentee ballots? Just not people actually turning them in I guess.

Well his is in court suing a bunch of states, so it's not like he isn't trying. But the biggest problem is him under funding USPS, the main way people receive and submit their absentee ballots.

If he was in favor of absentee voting he would be the biggest advocate for funding USPS properly but he is not. And he is really transparent about it. He knows that voter turnout will hurt him in so he is trying to suppress the vote by making is harder for people to vote by absentee(even though he says that's good). Plus there are very few states that are actually sending ballots to everyone and those states aren’t competitive. The rest are either allowing covid to be used as an excuse for absentee ballots or allowing anyone who wants to request a ballot.

And there it is https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/13/trump-requests-mail-in-ballot-395164

Tell that to Trump and his cronies, they are the ones voting by mail every year.

Since you just brush 200k lives lost just like that willy nilly, I’ll try to put that in context you may sympathize with better. What if Mexican illegals were killing 1000 people a day? What if rioters were killing 1000 cops a night? What if Al-Qaeda were committing 1 9/11 every 3 days? What if Kim Jong-un nuked us and killed 200k? What if 1000 troops were dying over seas daily? Would you just blow that off as it being only 0.06% of the population all willy nilly like that?

Democratic Party had a primary and people voted for Biden fair and square. I don’t see where you are getting the Democratic Party forcing Biden through

Yes or a ham and cheese sandwich

Biden can pick a tree stump and he will still win

You do know the median income in California is $71k and the max unemployment (when the additional benefit was $600) was 50k and now with the $300 additional benefit it will be $36k. And while in Missouri the medium income is less at $53k, the max unemployment (when the additional benefit was $600) was 44k and now with the $300 additional benefit it will be $30k.

So what $750 per week max in unemployment benefits in California? $3000 a month? That doesn’t even cover most people’s rent/mortgage. Maybe it’s great for Idaho but not nearly enough for California’s cost of living

I’ll put money down on Biden winning the election, who’s got money on Trump?

Trump can and will say whatever he wants but that doesn’t mean that most people are still buying the bs he is selling

It doesn't help that the trust for the president and his motives is at an all time low. Add all those that are anti vaxxers to those that don't trust that trump won't rush the vaccine through to get a political victory and you get the low numbers of people willing to get the vaccine.

Ok Brah

Someone doesn't know the difference between shouldn't and won't

Hopefully someone better than Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson

Biden's plans and policies are all there on his website

Trump better investigate the whereabouts of Herman Cain’s ballot. I heard he mailed it in the day before he died. 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history

I don't know who Brian is, but he doesn't sound like a guy with a high IQ

OK for the final time, we both want to fund childcare for the parents who are unable to stay home. You want to use the funds allocated to schools which in turn will be hurting the teachers even though they are more than capable of providing their services safely at home. I want to use funds the government has allocated for other functions(such as building a border wall). Again like I said you don't have to like my solution and I don't have to like yours.

No one's deflecting, the government wastes lots of money on other crap but when it comes to providing for single moms and working parents for child care when it is unsafe to open in person schools during a pandemic, well that's printing money.

Like I said you may not like the solution. Your solution is to use the teachers salaries. No need to print more money, have Mexico reimburse us for the 11 billion dollar (and counting) wall project they were supposed to pay for and use that to fund people's child care during this time

What did those single moms, working class parents do before their children became school aged? My solution? You may not like it but continue providing "unemployment benefits" to those families with children even if they go back to work so they could use it on for child care. Also a lot of the schools are still providing meals even when not open.

Schools are not daycares, parents have gotten used to using schools as such, but in reality teacher's are not babysitters, their job is to teach. They can provide that service remotely when it is unsafe for in person teaching. The government should figure out how to help parents with day care during these times, not the teachers.
