I want at least 2 of what she's had.

"Spiritual advising" will do that to you.

Pyrian, Trump is losing this week, because he's losing in a few (but multiple) states by a few thousand votes. No way anyone could have predicted that 4 years ago. When 100 people vote what side of a dice will come up, some of them will be right.
Yeeeah but this is like 18%. Both of the other two big options ran at almost twice the percentage of what, to me, was the always-obvious choice. Was it
necessarily correct? Heck no. But it always seemed to me like the most likely.

The clown-show of the last 4 years was totally unpredictable.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Exactly which clown would show up in which make-up was unpredictable. The fact that it
would be a clown show was
totally predictable
and widely predicted because Trump
had been a clown show all along before. If anything, Trump faced a relative lack of outside pressure until Covid-19 came along. The clown show until then was mostly of his own making.

That being said, of course I chose the correct option in this poll.
(Uh, tbh, is there a way to check? 4 Years ago I was hoping he'd lose after 4 years. But at the time I was also scared he'd win in 2020. I have no idea which option (4 or 8y) I chose. I know for sure that I never expected him to be kicked out. Just like I don't believe he will ever go to jail for things he did).
Lol. Your selection in the poll is the option displayed in italics.

Thanks. So yes, I did predict only 1 term.
Doesn't make me a fortune-teller.
I agree it was clear from the start that it would be a clown-show. But nobody had any idea what would happen, and how it would end. How would the elections have gone if covid-19 hadn't happened? I think Trump would have won another 4 years.
It's sad that 240k Americans had to die to prevent Trump from getting another 4 years in office. But it is a sacrifice I am willing to make. (I have no idea what kind of smiley to put here, to indicate this is a bitter joke).

And what have you added to this discussion beyond vague allusions to your own alleged neutrality in concerns to uncertain nebulous things? You're not debating anyone so much as hiding the fact you have nothing to say behind a fog of bullshit?
WELL... I actually didn't try to contribute much but rather ask your opinions of this biden char (or lack thereof as noted by some) and his pedo accusations. I've genuinely taken zero interest in american politics prior to election day as it isn't as center-of-the-world as americans would love to think. Instead of an answer of any form I got greeted with a "really?" followed by a bunch of verbal abuse, which, I guess "culminated" with the king of nobodies (as far as I can tell) - featal (going by malleable memory). I'd commend the cuteness of his ongoing arrogance, but it seems it just comes to him all too naturally. A real uncanny valley of intelligence versus confidence.

As much as I dislike Boris he's nothing like Trump in those respects.
For a start he's 100x more eloquent and he's also quite witty. He's also very intelligent. He just happens to be a git.
In comparison to Trump,
anyone else seems great.
Johnson is a bully-boy, first and foremost. His "wit" is school bully wit of making fun of people rather than actual wit. His "eloquence" is him repeating the same tired lines over. I watched all of the election debates there, and he was by far the least eloquent of the party leaders. All he did was reply to every question with by saying "get Brexit done" as many times as he could.
He has no compassion. He's also a blatant liar with no shame.
The main difference is that Johnson is shrewd - he uses his tools of bullying, lies, and disinformation to push his own agenda, far better than Trump does.
Anyway - that's the thing I will never understand: why do so many people
like bullies? I would never want to support a bully, yet people swarm to them in droves.

Thor, the fact that nobody is backing you, and nobody is taking your side in the discussion, is a clear indication of something. You figure it out.
And to answer your question: there are no accusations that Biden is a pedophile. None. Link me a page where someone states this. Anonymous crap on 4chan or reddit isn't a real source. Give us a link to a newspaper or newsite, large or small, american or non-american, leftish or right-wing. We've heard there were links between Epstein and others (like Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew). But I have never heard anyone mention Biden in the same sentence as Epstein. Or the word "pedophile".
Just "asking" whether Biden is a pedophile makes you already look like a total idiot.
Nameless Voice on 6/11/2020 at 18:55
Biden is creepy, certainly, but mostly just towards women as far as I've heard.
Also... I don't know if that's the case elsewhere, but there's a deep and disturbing trend of the extremist crazies here in Ireland to call anyone they disagree with a paedophile. Including anyone who calls them out - politicians, journalists, police, random people on the street. So random accusations of such without any proof immediately come across as deeply suspicious to me.

I've seen suspect gifs and claims, not really on 4chan or reddits as I don't browse them, bur more random sources that I couldn't really track anymore. If this was going to be the response in the first place, there's no need to be so hostile, is there, unless you've got something to defend with a more religious approach?
An answer to why "nobody is backing me" in commchat of ttlg is pretty obvious, as I've scarcely ever heard a non-left viewpoint over anything. Far-left seems to be just "left", centrism has been pushed to the right (which is traditionally always been my leaning if any) and right has been pushed to the far right. No room for far right even if anybody was that anymore.
