We're going to NYC in October and if the US fails to get it under control over the next few months I'm fearful that Trump will have banned all travel to the US for quite a while longer than necessary, possibly in the lead up to the election.
I think you'll be fine to go though.

Also, where are you hearing these "apparently". Can't imagine it comes up at work or at home.

On the Daily Mail website!
One: it's popular because it's an easy taboo. Those that are into it get there rocks off on the premise, those that aren't ignore it and focus on the slap and tickle
Two: I dunno what's worse, being caught pulling the stomach out of yourself over coronaporn or reading the Mail.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

What has Hunter done (a Trump talking point, so not to be believed imo) compared to Trump's sons?
Is Trump less prone to gaffes?
Has Biden more skeletons than Trump?
Biden>Sanders even though Sanders would be my pick because if the numbers have remained as they were a number of months ago then Biden is most likely to win the H2H.
One term president, steady the ship and let AOC take over the ticket

I’d imagine the cheap storyline is the reason. Requires no effort or set, self escalating. Just peep and go.

Biden hasn’t a fucking hope in hell of winning straight up. If covid 19 creates a crisis in the US all bets are off I suppose. But he’s every bit as unelectable as Hillary, their second completely uninspiring establishment candidate in a row. He can’t even attack Trump on weaknesses like corruption and misogyny because of his own issues.
It’s completely mad that they think an establishment centerist can win in the current climate. By the time they wake up, Trump will have another four years of judicial appointments under his belt and the country is lost to the Democrats for 30 years."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Even Fox News has Biden +8 on the spread 49% vs 41%. The numbers aren't perfect of course but they're generally more accurate than what we get here so far out.
I don't think Biden is a fav at this stage but he's certainly electable and has a significant chance. As things stand, they're 10/11-11/10.

Have had trips to Milan and the Irish Open cancelled now. My flatmate was a bit hungover so told work she wasnt feeling great to work from home, her manager panics and sends the whole team to work from home requesting hourly updates. Had to ring a helpline who told them its probably just flu and to go to a GP. Think they are still all working from home though.

Not the case with my flatmate, she never made the connection at all and was mortified when it escalated. The manager started asking her if she had been around any Italians, Malta is full of them so once she said she'd been in a casino and there were a few there that was the start of the panic..

2 lads sent home from work today with colds. Face masks and gloves given to all staff. No entry signs put up around the warehouse to keep "unauthorised visitors" out of it. Main manager came around and told all staff to expect to be spending some time at home in the coming weeks. Seems a bit excessive for a warehouse job but once they pay us I dont have a problem staying at home, cant afford any unpaid time off though.

Originally posted by cardshark202 View PostSanders is better in every way, apart from having no backing in the Democratic establishment who would sooner see Trump re-elected than Sanders as president. So now Biden is their only hope and he can barely string a sentence together. Don't think he has much of a chance against Trump to be honest. Biden is useless.
A real shame.
I don't get the bernie is better in every way comment. Biden has the black vote and womens vote in large parts of the USA that we as outsiders are unable to comprehend what life there is like. The fact that Biden has smashed the Michigan vote is a very good sign. Biden has also a stronger position on gun control and a willingness to take on the NRA.
I think we sometimes fall into the cult of personality. I like bernie, i wish i lived in a place where the things he was advocating for were currently in place. However to me, american politics is less about the president and more about the team around them. I think Biden could be a little more left leaning version of Obama which has a much bigger chance of success.

Originally posted by Trippie View PostMy parents have come to visit and flew through NYC the other day, they said plane was empty, loads of people had entire rows to themselves to lay out on.
I'm going to preface this by saying that i think we have an idea of what america is, a mythical place that exists in our heads who has some outlying bad characters influecing it. I've travelled a fair bit throughout here and everytime i go somewhere new im amazed by the themes and trends that exist in population and area.

One is an establishment centrist corporatist who has very little interest in the general population and has a voting record which shows that and the other has been consistent in fighting for the common people and has strong principles, with a voting record to show that.
Not suggesting Bernie will 'revolutionize' the US. The whole political system is completely corrupted by money. Bernie is the only one who has a chance of at least beginning to clean that up. So whilst he might not be leading Biden in the polls, he is objectively better for the country and the world. Under Biden the US will continue bombing the shit out of many parts of the world and selling arms to rich terrorist states (US is a terrorist state). If there is even a chance the US dials back some of those actions under Bernie, then he's a far better candidate.
I'm suggesting Trump will make mince-meat out of Biden in a presidential race but apart from shouting COMMUNIST and VENEZUELA at Bernie, I struggle to see where he can go.

Biden has the nomination and the solace to take from it is that he has the best chance to beat Trump.
The sentiment of people suggest he doesn't but the numbers suggest otherwise.
I expect Biden will end up fav for the presidency but not nearly as short as Hillary.

I think Trippie made a good point. Lots of Europeans on here with a Eurocentric notion of what 'a good US President' should look like. Which is generally an unelectable candidate in US terms (Sanders, Warren).
Biden isn't much. But he's probably the best they have right now."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Bidens a disaster.
Trump will bury the bumbling fool under a mountain of catchy soundbites and nicknames.
Trump is basically bulletproof now on the things he could have been hammered on. Corruption? lol. Makes the whole impeachment trial a complete waste of time if they can't double down on the political capital of it.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
