@suzianne saidSuzianne. Kev said above that if Trump wins, the libs have no other recourse but to riot. I responded, that, conversely, he is therefore saying that the conservatives would have 'no other recourse' but to riot if we are threatened with socialism. What has 'fantasy' got to do with it? You need to drop that word.
Still with the Republican fantasies?
Another post above, that we dont know what socialism is? This is the Definition for this thread: Socialism is the Biden administration. Socialism is his promised programs. Socialism is a self-styled socialist, Bernie Sanders, who will set up a desk in the Oval Office next to that of AOC. You be in denial, Suzianne?
@averagejoe1 saidDemocracy is not Socialism.

Stop listening to Sean Hannity. Stop listening to Alex Jones. Stop listening to Michael Savage. Stop listening to Tucker Carlson.
@suzianne saidI haven't listened to them in a year, and dont know a Savage. Brietbart is about the best source of facts and common sense (the word 'News' has lost its meaning, after Trump exposed them).

Correct. Democracy is not Socialism. They have different definitions, anyway. And I agree that Biden is not a socialist. But do you not think that Biden, if not quitting early, will still be overrun by AOC and Bernie, who are Socialists? I will not even say that Kamala is socialist, but in the big picture, the administration will be forever leaning Socialist. Won't hurt me (Market is up 5%! today), but I care about my grandchildren who might be required to be 'equal' with everyone else. Sounds like hell to me.

@averagejoe1 saidWell if you can point out exactly what rights this socialist administration is going to take away from you compared to threat from Trumps fascist administration.
Kev, Kev. Having perhaps elected a Socialist administration to run the 240-year USA, are you saying, conversely, that we conservatives then have rioting as the only political option left open to us in defense of our age-old rights (of freedom and liberty, by our, and the dictionary’s, definition)? Kev?

@averagejoe1 saidJust as in the big picture the GOP with it’s far right base will be leaning fascist for a while now.

Unfortunately for your narrative the left lost the battle for the DRC when it gave the candidacy to a 77 yr old arch centrist.

@averagejoe1 saidYou sound like a sad little man. Well, your protector will be gone in January. I know, maybe you could go to Brazil with him. Or Russia.

@kevcvs57 saidKamala said " Equal Treatment means that we all end up in the same place". C'mon Kev. Anyway, I won't belabor, as I know you are baiting me.
Well if you can point out exactly what rights this socialist administration is going to take away from you compared to threat from Trumps fascist administration.
How do the phrases 'working party' and the demeaning 'working class party" strike you? A marxist publication, The Call, uses these phrases They are working towards free education, free health care, eliminating oil, coal and natural gas as energy sources. The Green New Deal, single payer health care, housing for the homeless, new taxes, and Wall Street is supposed to pay for it.
Follow me here. The above would grind this capitalistic productive society to a crawl, a halt. You do know that without all the energy produced by fossil fuel, fracking etc,, that the economy cannot run. It cannot. So, you and your kids cannot get all the free stuff promised, as Chavez promised, but did not deliver. And blab all you want, socialism has never worked in any country, Venezuela being the latest.
So you can casually say to me to show how the market (Wall Street, that place that I mentioned above) can continue to grow, which grows America. Do you know it is up 6.5% today. Tell me Kev, do you think we would ever see a rise like that if we become a socialist country? Your granny's IRA, and your kids trust funds, will go to ZERO. And, the funny thing is, you and your other friends living under Socialism ( I myself will actually BE a socialist) will NEVER see all of the fruit and bounty offered by the offspring of Marx, like AOC.
@suzianne saidThat's right, the problem was after 4 years y'all were still going on and on like the energizer bunny.
Oh, I recall hearing, almost everywhere I went, "She LOST. Get OVER it."
This is all we're telling you guys, after proving to the world for four years that, instead of actually caring for America, you all decided to follow a maniac who conned you into doing his bidding, furthering the divide.
Your leader was crass and completely tasteless. This win is pure karma.
Russia collusion!!
@earl-of-trumps saidLibs speak as if he won. Do you know the Gore v Bush deal lasted for over 30 days. Jury is still out.

In 2000, all the SCOTUS had to do was stop the recount in one State where GW was ahead by about 500 votes.
By contrast, Trump is behind by more than 10,000 votes in each of the five closest States and almost all the votes have already been counted there.

@no1marauder saidFor this post to fly, you have got to define what a vote is. Some of those pieces of paper are not votes, but some, such as yourself, seem to think that they are votes. I myself (voted at voting place) received an unsolicited ballot in the mail, and a week later received another one. Marauder, if I had mailed those in and voted on my feet as well, which or how many are votes? Average Joe says to trash all votes, and everyone go to the polls on December 11 and vote, with exception of military absentee ballots.

Trump would have won except for the Virus. Rats!
@averagejoe1 saidSorry, anonymous posters on chess site forums don't get to decide how votes are counted in the US; State laws do.

Trump isn't getting a "mulligan"; this isn't one of his golf outings.
To your question: 1. Absentee ballots are checked for name and address when they are processed and then compared to lists of those who have already voted.
09 Nov 20
@no1marauder saidSounds like an imperfect process.....Votes of this magnitude need to be foolproof. By fool, I mean the person who 'checks for names and addresses." hahaha. What if that person is partisan!??!? And how about the 'comparing signatures' gambit. So there are handwriting experts doing that? Can You determine without question if a signature is genuine? Like I said, re-vote, and keep people the hell out of it.

There's not going to be any re-vote.
