So since we don't have one, this is the general election thread.

And to start things off:

Reading below that and one really interesting thing was the bit about 'youth' turnout so far. Young voters 18-29.

In 2016 they made up 21% of the votes, so far they are making up around 9%. In absolute numbers they are greater in number because of greater turnout overall for voters, but their proportion (so far) appears down.

The article states that to explain this could be:

A) Youth aversion to further lockdowns for a disease that doesn't really endanger them. But lockdowns will disproportinately affect young people. The Democrats are talking further lockdowns, the Republicans aren't.

B) Many Democratic voting efforts for young people are organised in colleges by college level organisations. Since colleges have been closed and events cancelled, this hasn't really happened this year. Campuses are hostile environments for Republicans, this has not hamstrung them anywhere near as much.

and one thing they touch on but I'll add to is voter enthusiasm

C) The polls are all saying Joe is going to win in a landslide, so why go through the hassle to elect some old, senile white guy. Republicans love their candidate and are as enthusiastic as hell.

Perhaps the Democrats may get hoist by their own covid petard here.

That doesn't make any sense; why the heck would they want Trump, the only leader who has been willing to stand up to them, to stay as president? They can bribe Biden.

It doesn't make any sense, because it isn't true. I knew when I was a teenager that foreign leaders who want a weak America want Democrats in the White House.

If Biden wins, China will probably hit Taiwan in 2021. If Trump wins, they may not hit it at all, because Trump absolutely will tell Seventh Fleet to start sinking the Chinese invasion force as soon as it starts crossing the Strait of Taiwan.

"We have evidence"; I'm guessing that they didn't take the opportunity to post that evidence on said website when they hacked it. Because it doesn't exist.
No, what they did do was cause a cybersecurity concern for Trump's campaign.

That could raise issues with donor financial info, such as credit card numbers and the like.

"We have evidence that DJT is corrupt and horrible! Even though we are against him and this is damning evidence we are not sure if we should release it. We will be putting this to a vote using bitcoin, and the option that sends the most money will be done."

I wonder how much money they will make off of this. How many TDS retards will just sink thousands in Bitcoin to send these "warroers" that can't even capitalize their sentences.

The website is not protected by the US Gov as it a campaign website run by the canadit. Sure the credit card info, but the threads I saw in the tweet sdeem to think the GOV ist that weak.

It isn't and the DoD is making sure this wont happen to any US government site that has important info.

PII may not be that big of an issue
I wonder how many years in prison this will earn them for interfering with an election?
IF the are US? A lot. If not? Depends on country

I myself am leaning towards Trump winning. Trump's base is completely galvanised by this point and Biden has no enthusiasm whatsoever. Faith in the media is not what it was, and many Democrats have been utterly put off by the various shenanigans of the Democratic Party. I think Biden committing to a national lockdown might have been the final nail in the coffin.

My question is, what happens to Cuomo, Newsom and the other Dem tinpot tyrants should Trump win "bigly?" I have a feeling he'll strong arm them into reopening at the very least.
