Once again here we are arguing over a sequence of brief pictures, I'd like to see the Magaman's conduct prior to that altercation, either way, I think shooting the guy is a definite escalation of force, but who knows, what if the shooter thought that guy was holding a pistol? Too little information, I'd rather see how it plays out before any conclusions, very different situation than that of little Kyle's.
Not sure how anyone can't find this concerning though. This cycle of violence is only going to continue to escalate with further ramifications, which is nothing to celebrate.
BTW, I wouldn't take much credence to Miami "Latinos for Trump". That's nothing new, there's a long history of "white" Cubans exiled from the country who continue to be pissed off that they lost their power and wealth from the Castro regime.
They see black Cubans as dogs, and only supported prior immigration by their "type" of Cuban, if you know what I mean.
I put little credence in their support for Trump, they a small minority group of Miami Cubans, you might want to read about that history before proclaiming Latinos support Trump
A lot of Republicans voted for trump just because he was the Republican nominee. They thought when elected people around him would be able to control him. That was not the case. trump is going to lose.

So it was not a trump rally it was a Anti-Socialist and Anti-Communist rally and not everyone there was a trump supporter.
The media doesn't want you to know about the massive parades that have been taking place all across the country the past couple weeks.
This was the other day in california.
Just goes on for miles and miles and miles..

I think the news has more important things to cover than a bunch of inbread rednecks in lifted pickup trucks rolling coal and yelling a people. Majority of Americans don't like trump and he will lose the election.

Permaban.
If Trump wins the 2020 presidential election, you are gone from RS for good. No posts. No fails. No thanks. Nothing. Gone.
If Biden wins, same goes for me.
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

They don't need more people to vote for Trump, they just need the RIGHT people to vote for Trump.
They can win the election by gaming the system. Stacking their efforts in place where the American Electoral College has the most amount of votes within their possible/plausible audience.
The Republicans can write off the entire state of California because its a "Librul Stronghold" but focus efforts in a place like Wisconsin or Ohio because the folks in those states will statistically turn out in greater force to vote Red. It doesn't matter if the entire city of Milwaukee votes blue (and probably will) because all of the other counties combined, despite being rural, can flip the state red.
This is why you see Republicans double down on their base. They bring those die hard "Good Ol' Boys" out, parade them around, and it emboldens Grandma and Grandpa to wheel their oxygen tanks to the voting center and vote for the elephant. They don't give a shit about a place like Oregon or Idaho but they'll fight tooth-and-nail for Florida.
And the Democrats know this, but it so happens that those within the Democratic demographic gravitate to areas like California, Colorado, New Mexico, etc. This is why you see politicians play to the smoothbrains who will eat this stupid shit up. They know its ridiculous, we know its ridiculous, but Randy who spends his time smoking meth and working on his Trans-Am thinks "Wow, the biznuss man is real smart and hes my guy!"
Hilary suffered from complacency and assumed that 8 years of a sexy-ass brutha in charge meant that the voting public was ready for more radical changes. She listened to the polls but didn't understand that the people who voted for a near-decade of Bush were still part of the voting public. She was seen as "talking down" to them (when she assumed that she was talking to educated, intelligent people) and Big Orange Man made funny faces and "I recognize him from TV" which was part of his success.
Trump didn't come with the magic that the GOP needed. They already had that magic in the form of gerrymandering and propaganda. He was just the guy who ran and who wouldn't push back on their policies.
Lets see how hard the public pushes back in November

You've asked to have your account banned/deleted in the past, not exactly putting up stakes
Get the tattoo... If you believe in Trump that is some real stakes
Not even forehead, put it on your shoulder
Tattoos aren't something i take lightly. I know many do these days.
But I've never gotten one and likely never will.
i don't know for certain trump is going to win. Nobody knows.
He asked the stakes. I gave them. If he doesn't want to take the bet, just say it. It's not that hard to do.

There were states that hadn't voted red for decades that Trump took.
How is Biden appealing to those states this cycle? What is he doing different from Hillary?
Arizona is a swing state. This was Biden there the other day. I don't think a single person showed up. And it's not because no one knew they'd be there. No nominee in there right mind would not want attention during a campaign. That's a cop out if i ever saw one.

Biden-Harris Arizona event had no fanfare because the campaign didn’t invite the public
If Your Time is short
The screenshot shows a still image from a local news segment about a campaign stop that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made in Phoenix on Oct. 8.
The stop wasn’t a rally. Biden’s campaign told local news reporters that it didn’t release details about the times and locations of the day’s events to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A clip of the segment on YouTube was deceptively edited and spliced together so viewers didn’t know that Biden’s campaign chose not to advertise the event.

Fair enough, I wouldn't bet on Trump if I were you, and I wouldn't bet on Biden either. The electoral system is broken, and the Republicans are already cheating.
If the election was based on popular vote though, the Republicans would probably never win an election ever again without major platform changes. They'd probably need to be even more left than the Dems to beat them
Alright. Show me the thousands of Biden/Harris supporters coming out to show support. Show me the flags. Show me the banners. Show me the huge crowds that he's drawing. He's that far ahead of Trump in the polls, they should be everywhere.
People can say enthusiasm doesn't equal a win, but it's definitely at least one component. And i don't see any in Biden's campaign.

Kinda like Canada? Where just two provinces determine who our leader is?
There's no "fair" system. But i think America's is probably one of the fairest

So having two states choose the president while making up a small segment of overall voters is more fair than two provinces that make up a majority of Canada's population?

What two states with a small segment are you referring to?
Two states have never been the only determining factor. And that is the point.

Most people don't go to rallies. Did you ever go a harper or mad max rally?
