I find it sad they're scouring for any poll related to the election this year and botting on a website dedicated to e-sports.

So, is there anyway that Hillary can win re-election in 2020?
I would hope not, but at this point, the US feels like a one-party system with the Republicans being a bit of a joke since like year 2000. Every single cycle due to demographic changes it gets harder for republicans to win the white house. By 2020 itll be very hard and by 2024 virtually impossible barring a massive change in the party but the membership wont let that change happen.
Exactly what I mean with the one party system thing.
I've always thought myself as more Democrat than Republican, but there's no choice. Like so many Democrats got so invested in the anti-Trump thing this time around, but don't you see there's no choice on your part?... By having Trump as a distraction, you totally forget about what kind of Democracy you want. I thought the DNC favorability thing was pretty telling.

The results don't reflect the reality of TL for starters. Also R1CH says they're getting botted, end of. You know that I was just like, legitimately asking right? It gets old when people think that literally everything is an argument 
Because we went over it like 1000 times last debate. It would be explained then next page "How do you know its being botted?" Then its explained again, then next page "How do you know its being botted?". It got quite annoying, sorry if it came off as rude. But we went over it repeatedly last debate

Harry Enten (538 podcast) just endorsed not-Trump rather than not-voting, what will this endorsement mean?

I mean it could be a TL'er just being a fan of one of the two candidate. It's not like Trump supporters are a secret society... They are regular people all over the place.

Absolutely go vote even if you're voting for Trump.

Really spurring my curiosity: How will this election affect Trump's business. Anyway.
Yeah, looks like we Trump guys wont win, but at least getting 45% will hopefully send a strong message that there's plenty of people unhappy with the current direction... Especially when that 45% people will have voted for almost suicide for their country to show their unhappiness.
That should be a strong message that things are not okay.

I know earlier on he lost a lot of business and deals. He may be able to replace them with new ones though; how well that happens will only be seen afterwards. if he can monetize his base he should turn a net profit even with all the stuff he's lost.

Supposedly it's worth 16% less than it used to be. With some poorly done analysis.
Considering how thoroughly his name has been dragged through the mud and how much of his net worth is the name it sounds about right to me, though.

Maybe I think too highly of TL's Trump supporters, but none of the ones who active post are people who I think would waste time botting a poll in this thread. They all know this thread well enough to know that it would be obvious.

I think in the first poll I showed my unhappiness with how people were reacting in this thread by voting on my computer, and then my phone too when I visited the thread again.
Shame on me I suppose.

This has been catastrophic for his businesses IMO. He's pissed off well over half the country. Most of his base can't afford his products. They're not staying at his hotels and stuff so this isn't good.
However doing something like TrumpTV is 100% the play. His current companies are doomed, that's where he can still make money. His base will watch the alt-right nationalistic stuff and but the prepper products. He needs to shift that way if he doesn't want to end up bankrupt.

no.
I'm not sure how patient I am compared to the average, as I lack a good baseline, I find myself to be somewhat more patient than average, more than that I can't say.
