2020 US Presidential Election thread

I must admit I'm quite impressed with the latest trend of linking forest fires and pandemics to climate change, it gives the whole thing a nice biblical touch. A sanctimonious lecture is much more effective when you preach floods, fire and pestilence.

Not at all I enjoy giving sanctimonious lectures on climate change, a great justification for not travelling into the office.

I very much suspect however that the world won't be extinct in 10 years time.

I was only poking a bit of fun. I wasn't expecting the full strawman treatment.

I'm not sure how a world can be extinct. Low level of basic understanding there.

Classic strawman. Mis-state the other side's position to try and shore up you own.


A debate with a climate change denier is less an exchange than a consultation.

i.e. trying to understand what "issues" he has.

Let's see how some of these quotes have aged after the debate:

Debate tomorrow. Expect Trump to push lines that require Biden to use short term memory.

Sleepy joe will be so pumped full of methylphenidate his eyes will be turning red.

Doh! Guess who had no problem with short term memory?

He doesn't appear nearly 50% of days now.

I dunno, the guy is wanting to be in charge of 3000 nuclear missiles, he clearly doesn't know what day of the week it is.

I think after the "raging drunk Uncle ranting about what he saw on Facebook" performance we all know who shouldn't be in charge of 3000 nuclear missiles.

Aged like milk.

I was amazed that Biden accused Trump several times of 'hiding in his bunker' and Donald missed the obvious rejoinder about Joe "hiding in his basement"

I'm surprised that when Biden was asked he question that he didn't ask the moderator if this was the $750 question

He was too distracted by the clown.
