Barack Obama Speech

[doulos]

Texas has already surpassed last election's total votes with early voting. No idea who those votes are for, but that's a VERY fired up electorate.

The world is transitioning from oil. Why is that a big shocker?

Exactly. As an Albertan, I wish we would be proactive and shift to nuclear, the obvious future of energy, and supplement that with O&G development and production. Be a leader. Oh to dream. It never has to be an either or, except for a few.

This would be fine if the "world" was ready to do it. But they aren't.

"They"? The World? or the US?

[rataylor22]

Interesting. Although.

Personally, for me, I would think that an administration who breaks the law so frequently would want to keep legal impropriety completely out of the conversation, because the score is so overwhelmingly one-sided it's a no contest. But that's just me.

Well, I was responding to the reference about the world shifting. And I quoted the world.

And yet I still get asked if I was referring to the US or the world.

Pretty sure Biden is leading poles in Texas by like 4 points (48% vs 44%). But those things are literally designed for news outlets to keep you coming back for updates. They mean very little. I'm sure you can find a pole that has Trump winning Texas.

Having more people voting in the advanced voting than they did total in 2016 is nuts.

My Bad. Sorry

Well, at the very least, it appears the US will have a far better voter turn out this year. Hopefully doesn't come down to the Electoral College vs Popular vote again. That Country needs a legitimate "winner" to avoid 4 years of "but but but..."

"People need to be mature and stop engaging when it's very clear that someone's goal is to do nothing other than to disturb peace. But some people just can't resist drama." Im stealing this statement from my ole buddy Bondon.

I think this statement fits a few people here. It's time to let it go, stop the foolishnes, and watch what happens. It's getting kinda old to be honest.

Lets talk more hockey and less BS!

I wonder what the number of votes vs number of people who could have voted will be compared to 2016 numbers.

[Auston'sWilly]

Bondon's a wise fellow. You too Axe.

I'll just add one additional note - I don't think there is any question about it, Joe Biden will win the popular vote.
Or, to maybe phrase it better, I certainly wouldn't feel nervous to put heavy money on it.
But I also think President Trump still has a good chance of winning the election. It's much closer in important states than people think.

I don't mind the sentiment here (and agree it's not always productive)--but I also think this is in a forum labeled "Get Political" so getting frustrated over the discourse is silly.
I have also learned from some of the articles that have been posted by members. Just saying....
