Realistically if either candidate catches covid, they're fairly unlikely make it to the election. Biden dying of natural causes would probably throw the Democrats into disarray, as the barely healed wounds of the primary tear open. The people who backed Sanders mostly don't like Harris at all, so I am sure that plenty of them would try to exert pressure for Sanders to take Bidens place at the top of the ticket.If Biden dies, the Dems scramble to find a VP. They probably keep Harris on as nominee.
Trump probably wins in that case.
If Biden doesn’t show up? The media spins it as the proper thing to do for having Covid and lambasts Trump over it.
Nothing substantial changes.
@The Original Sixth, I have a question for you. There's a rumor I came across that Biden caught COVID, and will be therefore canceling the debates.
Now, for the sake of discussion, what if this is true? (Not necessarily the part about him catching COVID, but him using that as an excuse not to show up.)
Furthermore, what happens if Biden dies before Election Day?
It's a possibility. If his dementia is so bad that he can't possibly go on stage, they may try to duck out. But that will only work once and they have two more debates.
It's happening. The naughty naughty elites who took a trip on the lolita express line probably with participants who took up his offer for the special edition high mile club.
Anyone hear any updates about this?
I don't really dread 2020. I'm starting, however, to dread 2021.
It was watching last night's debate that has me worried. If this debate will be remembered for anything, it's that it was the moment that millions of people realized they were living in a failing state. The many meek souls out there who hope for a "return to normalcy" after a Biden win are deluding themselves, and judging by the deer-in-the-headlights looks on many of the talking heads after the Event was over, many realized this delusion tonight. The final question (or one of the final questions? Last night was a blur) was discussing the very legitimacy of the vote counting itself. Ten years ago, such a topic being seriously discussed during a presidential debate would be considered silly—this is America, of course our elections are legitimate. The America of 2020 doesn't take this for granted anymore. How long can a democracy function when its own people don't trust the results of the elections due to the suspicion of wide-scale fraud? What will happen if the nightmare scenario takes place in November—a close election with vote counting that drags on for weeks? Trump isn't going to back down. He made that clear. For that matter, Biden didn't back down from the accusation that he would pack the courts if he were elected.
2020 could be America's last presidential election as we know it. A small chance, I know. Yet, this seems to be the year where crank conspiracy theories come true. Liberal democracy in the United States is falling apart more rapidly than anyone could have seriously thought in 2016. I think a lot of Trump's support on the right hasn't really been us hoping he succeeds. I never thought Trump would be any more of a cartoon hero than the left thought he was and is a cartoon villain. A lot of us supported Trump because we knew that, whatever else he did in office, he would expose the cracks in our foundation—but perhaps we didn't realize how big the cracks really were. Perhaps we really have reached the amount of ruin our nation can support.
We are sailing off the edge of the map here. Over the summer I was starting to think people would vote for Biden because they would hope that a Biden presidency would just get things back to normal. The press would stop panicking everyone over a marginally more dangerous flu, Antifa would stop looting every commercial district in America every time some lowlife criminal got shot, we would stop hearing about foreign election hacking, etc. The constant specter of doom and destruction, conjured almost 100% by a partisan media completely and transparently in the tank for Joe Biden, would mercifully switch off on November 4th if we just gave them what they wanted. Now it’s not clear that’s going to happen. Now it’s not clear we will ever know who “won” the 2020 presidential election. Only time will tell, I suppose. For now, we wait and see what the next debate and more importantly the election in November hold in store for us.
Strap in, ladies and gents.

November is definitely gonna be a shit show regardless of who wins.
One thing's for sure, Trump winning the election would no doubt result in the most violence .yeah got a bug out plan for nov. and poosibly Dec just in case. I laugh at the people who are mocking Styx for living in the Netherlands with his wife. RIIIGHT like internet cowboys are going to create a revolution.

Violence in general is awful but i can't say i'd blame them if that is what happens, since the left will be able to attack people with impunity .I don't know man, if Biden wins it may be what pushes the right over the edge. We may start seeing violence from them if that ends up being the case.
There is no organized right to actually be the Neo Nazi/KKK/Whatever the flying fuck bogeyman they claim there is.
The right is pitifully disorganized and thus pitifully ineffectual.
Right leaning Americans are powerless, utterly broken without an organization that can allow them to fight and prevail on the streets.
Which is why the media/crazed fucking nonsense spin about right wing violence is a fucking lie.
