2020 Election Thoughts
Maybe some didn't come out for Biden because he doesn't represent what they want? Being "not Trump" isn't enough for all voters. You can't use the Biden/Trump results to argue against progressivism. The idea that progressives will go out in droves to vote for corporate Democrats has never made sense to me

It's almost like constantly trying to cater to the 3% of Republicans who denounce Trump is worse than attempting to reach out to young and/or minority voters

For now, yeah. I'm just anxious about accusations of foul play as Pennsylvania and perhaps Georgia get their votes counted

My only worry is that this somehow gets to the Supreme Court

Yup, no matter what the actual results of the election are, tonight is a win for Trump so far

Not to mention he has literally admitted to assaulting women

I knew Pelosi was hated by Republicans but I didn't know she was believed to be as far left as AOC until Greg and Poppy started asserting so. Where do people even get that idea? Do they see a female Democrat and just assume she's a progressive?

Offseason Targets
My bad, that makes more sense. I just see it discussed all the time but haven't thoroughly examined the posts since it's obviously not happening

Offseason Targets
I'm not sure what this board's obsession is with trading Eloy. He'll be on the White Sox for a long time. Vaughn or Kopech will likely suffice as the centerpiece for Marquez, even with the insane value of his contract. But I don't see the Sox pulling the trigger there.

I see this has already been addressed, but I'll add that you shouldn't listen to whoever is telling you that Harris or Pelosi support socialism. AOC, sure. But the other two are as establishment capitalist as they come

No, I voted third party. I live in Illinois so my presidential vote doesn't matter anyway. The main reason I went was because the local races are up for grabs and important

I wish Biden was as far left as you think, I would've actually voted for him if so

Pro Tony La Russa Hiring Poster Here
No, because that poster has already been corrected

I wouldn't even say he has done the bolded. Nothing about Joe Biden suggests he's a leftist/socialist, as you said. It almost feels like the Trump campaign expected to run against Bernie Sanders, was surprised when they didn't, and was too lazy to change the gameplan

The name thing is even weirder now after his interview this morning. I really hope he reaches out to them by the end of the week

Thanks for sharing. We're lucky to have Fegan- Buncho Roster Moves: Edwin & GIO gone, Leury Back, others
Second part of that tweet is interesting. I don't think Brantley is a good fit (not sure if he can play RF anymore) and Morton allegedly wants to stay east or retire, but obviously he named them for a reason- Tony La Russa named Manager
I don’t buy his tweets as much as I used to, but that one is just regurgitating what Passan and La Russa said- Tony La Russa named Manager
Isn't it interesting how the ones who lecture you about respect are often the least respectful people you'll ever encounter?- Tony La Russa named Manager
It already has- Tony La Russa named Manager
Also mentions that players are having a tough time getting past his comments on protests. So that's great- Tony La Russa named Manager
For those wondering about the lack of player support on social media, Evan Marshall "liked" this tweet https://twitter.com/emarsh31/likes- Tony La Russa named Manager
And others believe that protesting racial injustice should transcend politics as well. Which brings us back to the original point: forced patriotism at sporting events might not be the best idea - Tony La Russa named Manager
