America twice elected a black man named Barack Obama while at the same time public enemy number 1 was a main of similar color and stature named Osama Bin Laden.

Let that sink in. :jawalrus:
and :dahell:

we're talking about the climate of 2020, right now. at least i am. there's a reason biden is polling higher than trump. go ahead and ignore it if you want :yeshrug:

That's true, but what people like to downplay is the fact that Trump won on POLICY. People literally liked his message.
what the fukk policy did he run on? :mjlol: he used a bunch of catch phrases like "build the wall", and then just spouted a bunch of vague bullshyt with positive adjectives. he couldnt have LESS ran on policy :bryan: he literally, COMPLETELY ran on feeling

you didnt address my post :dead:

this is a stupid argument anyway, no one can back anything up with facts. i guess we'll see what happens :shaq:
You said there's a reason that Biden is polling ahead. You say it's because he's an old white man.

Likely because he's associated with the feelings Americans had under a black man. :smugbiden:

I don't care what Donald Trump is, in 2014 if I told you a candidate would run like Trump the common response would be "that candidate is not electable."

"Electability" is a media creation to control which candidate run in an election.
Preach!
I was talking to some friends about 2020 and they are hung up on what other people think as opposed to what they think. Like they would say shyt like, "I love Bernie but everyone else isn't going to support an old guy or a socialist, etc." It's like they had a lot of excuses not to vote for the candidate they liked best. The "electability" propoganda works and make people always check the temperature of the country before voting. I really hate it .

Na he's right. He just wasn't specific/wonky about it.
  • Build the wall is a policy
  • No more trade deals is a policy
  • tariffs on foreign goods is a policy
  • Bring the jobs back is a policy
  • Stop foreign intervention is a policy

This isnt policy. Its populism.

He never mentioned how he would do any of those things. That's the real policy.

The only thing that is something is the tariffs.

He was more specific he said he would renegotiate trade deals, enforce existing immigration laws more and what needs to be more specific than yeah let's not do needless war?
