2020 US Presidential Election

"In analyzing fatalities from terrorist attacks, religious terrorism has killed the largest number of individuals—3,086 people—primarily due to the attacks on September 11, 2001, which caused 2,977 deaths.10 The magnitude of this death toll fundamentally shaped U.S. counterterrorism policy over the past two decades. In comparison, right-wing terrorist attacks caused 335 deaths, left-wing attacks caused 22 deaths, and ethnonationalist terrorists caused 5 deaths."

read the source "There are three broad types of right-wing terrorist individuals and networks in the United States: white supremacists, anti-government extremists, and incels. There are numerous differences between (and even within) these types, such as ideology, capabilities, tactics, and level of threat. Adherents also tend to blend elements from each category. But there are some commonalities." and yes it fucking does oh I'm sorry, where are all the white supremists leftists xD? sorry your political spectrum has so many racists, cant relate

Just saw that post-shooting video. What was even the point of the police moving people on who were performing possibly life-saving CPR? Such senseless violence from the police. As I understand it, Antifa is not even an organisation. It has no central leadership, and no dedicated representatives. Literally anybody can claim to be Antifa, so long as they are against fascism. Demonising 'Antifa' or putting out subpoenas on it (as I heard Ron Paul did?) is so broad as to be either useless, or a *very* worrying measure that federal government can use to brand anyone they don't like as Antifa and black-bag them - as they appeared to be doing in Portland - or otherwise disappear them. In all, the actions of law enforcement and federal government in the USA have shown themselves to not only be overreaching but also to have intensified whatever violence has occured. I will say, however, that if one is an antifascist, it's very bad to kill somebody with a firearm and then immediately turn around and say "Yeah, I'm 100% antifa" when there's a concerted campaign to demonise antifascist organisation. I will also say that there have been *so* many shootings by white supremacists, especially in the past few years. An example that immediately comes to mind is the Christchurch shooter over in New Zealand. Or the time 11 were killed in a mass shooting targeting a synagogue in Pittsburgh. I could probably do some more specific citation but I think Lamby has that covered pretty thoroughly. As someone who isn't from the US and can't vote in its elections, I can only encourage people to vote Biden. I'm not exactly a fan of Biden either, but he will probably at the least try and maintain a semblance of liberal democracy, whereas I very much cannot even say that of Trump.

I'm still undecided. My gripes are with the media and the BLM movement as it is today. I don't know enough about BLANKDEN or TBLANKPS plans to make a decision for either side yet. Had to put a blank in there, my job is watching for political talk. Lmaoooo
