There is no doubt the violent protests and COVID lockdowns are impacting the election

Okay then..I would say no but at the same time it wouldnt shock me either.
I can imagine a scenario where at some point the "experts" calculated that say 2 swing states with riots can determine an election.

One side needs more violence to win so they send in agitators to keep riots going. I also say that people on either side who would consider themselves reasonable and moral would not oppose such action either, even if they really didnt like their guy doing it.

Yeah, no doubt.

100 percent all of this is in the playbook that was written by the results of simulations .. on both sides they are trying to neutralize the effects of carrying this out will have based on their counter simulations

Have said it 17 times now so listen up once again.

I'm not voting in this election.

I don't see you as a guy that's not voting in this election because of Trump's personality. You can't be that sensitive ? You've already mentioned you're good with Trump's policies. It's not an indictment on you to change your mind .. Think the issues are to big to sit on the sidelines to not vote , when you're clearly favoring one side to win

Behind in every poll, outrageous Twitter statements, books about his personal life and the MSM and Hollywood with daily guidance on what America should do. When have I heard this before? The voter will have to take a look at violence in the streets of many cities and decide if they want to risk that coming to their town and does that fear outweigh their discomfort with the President? Joe doesn't have anything to do with that equation.

Has nothing to do with sensitivity RE.

I don't think the way he carries himself is worthy of my vote. The President of the United States is the most powerful man in the world. It's a position that represents me and my country and the person that holds that office has to carry themselves in a certain way. He doesn't do that for me. That's all.

Where are there lockdowns still? That stuff is old news. I dunno about that. Think COVID is a net negative for Trump on balance. Even if I don't put too much blame on him, guy at the top gonna generate some resentment when UE is 10%+

The protests 100% agree though, that is the lifeline the Teflon Don needed and he's getting it in spades

Also, obviously the Dems didn't "strategize" to have riots, they just can't control their base.

Bars are not open
No indoor seating in NYC, until at least January
No attendance at sporting events
Fall sports being canceled by colleges
NCAAF being canceled
Saratoga race track closed to spectators
NY casinos closed
Home schooling
14 day quarantines

I'm sorry my friend, did you really ask what lockdowns?

And politically speaking, is it red states or blue states that have more aggressive lockdowns?

IMO, these lockdowns should be career ending events

I view it like this. Until we are free to do/go wherever we want free of restrictions without a mask on, we are in lockdown.
