    Debates have nothing to do with anything.

    Thanks for playing

    Do you recognize that the elephant inside of that circle is the only significant difference?

    Oh, they want Biden to debate Trump and he will crush Trump in those debates.

    But Trump wants more debates because he is currently behind in nearly every battleground State and he needs more chances to make up the difference. That is a desperate play that the Biden campaign will not join.

    About to die laughing! Then bring him out of his basement and let's go. I'll provide the popcorn.

    Biden is being a model citizen right now and leading by example when he remains "in his basement." Trump meanwhile is flouting the wearing of a mask in public, holding large person rallies, and disputing the claims of top medical professionals while cases spike across the country.

    And that is precisely why Trump's approval ratings regarding the pandemic and his approval ratings in general have dropped like a rock.

    Biden will debate Trump when the debate commission establishes the time, place, and rules for the debate - as has been the case for every previous president and VP debate.

    Not a bad question.

    But, the point is that they accoplished that.

    Today, we have Trump using a national holiday and the background of those who so significantly succeded to further ecncurage division that he hopes will help himself stay in office.

    The contrast is startling. And, he can't even see that!

    IF coronahoax numbers are to be believed (they aren't, but for argument's sake let's take them at face value) ...

    Black Plague: KILLED ~50% of Europe.
    COVID-19: KILLED ~0.07% of Europe.

    50% is MUCH larger than 0.07%... When coronahoax gets anywhere near 1%, let alone 50%, let me know...

    I can't imagine anyone actually SAYING that, let alone suggesting tht as a rational approach.

    If you think there is a hoax, you would need to present a serious argument for such a radical idea as that.

    Is 50% not WAY more significant than 0.07%??

    I've already presented my arguments for why coronahoax is a hoax.

    Edit: Here is one example, and also see other posts within this thread

    When you have to resort to comparing this pandemic against the single worst pandemic of the last 500 years to make your argument that this virus is not a threat, then you have a ****ing **** argument.

    That is not even remotely close to a rational argument for why Covid-19 is a hoax. It is an argument for why Covid-19 is less lethal than the ****ing black plague, but that does not make it a hoax.

    The Black Plague is where the word 'epidemic' started widely being used (with regard to infectious diseases).

    COVID-19 is nowhere near an 'epidemic' anywhere in the world... It is also nowhere near the "Spanish Flu" (1918), where ~33% of the world was infected with it and ~3% of the world died from it.

    With COVID, infections are but a small fraction of a percent, let alone deaths... Deaths are but a small fraction of a small fraction of a percent...

    I never claimed that this virus is as deadly as Spanish Flu or the Black Plague. And using those as your lone metric for deciding whether this virus is serious is ****ing moronic.

    Not really. I won't be concerned until it reaches at least 500,000 a year.

    It has killed more than 500,000 this year alone. What the **** kind of standard is this? Are you trolling?

    Seriously, why the **** is that your standard for being worried about the virus? You want to see 500,000 American deaths before you are worried?
