Hardkill

I know, right?! I mean, I know that people like me have a significant degree of bias for someone like Biden, but it truly blows my mind, that undecided voters like that group in that CNN vid clip still are having such a hard time recognizing, especially with only 34 days now until election night, that Trump is the true villain. What kind of evidence are they waiting for to prove that he is the real menace? Or is it because they believe that they are not hearing enough policies with sufficient substance or practical plans for our country from either Biden or Trump?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I did actually watch that one before along with a bunch of other news media panelists, commentators, and analysts from CNN, MSNBC, The hill/Rising TV, TYT channel, etc. They pretty much all say that Trump really blew it for this debate.

So, then who do you think had better optics and tone overall for the entire debate?

I'd like to believe that this time, but Trump is the worst US president in history. People thought before with Bush that he wasn't going to be so bad, but then he turned out to be a disaster just like I predicted when I was only a teen. If Bush was a disaster, then can you imagine how much worse Trump will be during the next few years if he continues on as our President? Even Michael Moore, who also correctly predicted before that Trump would win the 2016 election not only just said a couple of weeks ago that Biden's campaign has been doing worse than the Hillary campaign did back in 2016, but he also said right afterwards that we cannot survive another 4 years of the Trump presidency.

Well, I'd to like believe that, but then we have people like Leo saying that Trump projected better optics and tone during the debates than Biden did. Also, John Sonmez from Bulldog Mindset said that Trump held the frame better than Biden did and was more charismatic than Biden. Speaking of Charisma, I just watch a vid on the Charlie and Ben Podcast Youtube channel titled Trump Vs. Critical Race Theory. If I understand correctly what they were saying, both Charlie and Ben said in this vid that it's currently looking more and more like what happened about 1-2 months before the 2016 election, which is that just like what happened between Hillary and Trump, Trump again will in the end trail in the polls, but ultimately win the election. Btw, Charlie and Ben have also been the founders of the highly successful and popular Youtube Channel, Charisma on Command, and they last time correctly predicted before with absolute certainty back in 2016 that Trump was going to win the 2016 election. To be honest with you all, these above-mentioned opinions are really scaring me. I don't know what I am going to do if Trump and his devilry win again. If he does, then it will feel like the end of the world. I will feel like all hope has been lost for decent people like myself who play by the rules and with honor.

Man, I am getting really worried about this election. Do you guys think Biden's chance of winning have been increasing or decreasing lately?

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I last posted on here. So, as we all know, it's currently election season for the U.S. and I have been constantly worried about the outcome of our upcoming Presidential election as well as the U.S. Congressional election. Now, I know that Biden this time has been put in a significantly better position for winning than Hillary was during the 2016 election due to the myriad current events having occurred within the past several months which have greatly worked in Biden's favor of winning the presidency. However, Michael Moore, who is a major political activist and was one of the few people who last time predicted that Trump would win the 2016 election, is saying that according to the Detroit Free poll, Biden's lead over Trump has lately shrunk from 16 points in June to 8 points during mid-September. I think if I recall correctly, after having read another post somewhere on this Forum, someone already mentioned this. However, I don't recall anybody actually responding to that post. Now, Michael Moore said that everyone should be "screaming bloody murder" because of that one poll which has shown Biden's lead having been cut in half. It's not just the tightening of that poll itself that worries him. It's the reason behind that which he believes is cause for great panic amongst everybody throughout the whole country. What he's talking about is that the Biden campaign has been doing an "invisible campaign," which Michael says is one of the major mistakes they are making because they should actually be doing pretty much the complete opposite of that, which is doing much more "ground game" campaigning than even Hillary and her entire campaign team did during her whole 2016 campaign. He also said that another big mistake that the Biden Campaign is doing is constantly trying to win over as many Republicans as they can for Biden. He says that instead of wasting so much time on that, the Biden campaign needs to do a number of things which include Biden himself needing to visit more of "Black Michigan", visit more of the Latino communities in each of the battleground states, put out a lot of Biden/Harris yard signs and billboards all over in each of the battleground states like in Michigan, have some IRL rallies in each of the battleground states, etc. His rationale is that the main reason why Hillary lost in 2016 was not just because of Hillary' weaker level of charisma and overall campaign strategy compared to Trump. It was also largely because of the significant reduction in overall turnout in 2016 compared to the voter turnout that occurred in the more previous presidential elections such as those in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012 respectively. The reduction in overall turnout during the 2016 election was indeed largely because there were a lot less blacks, Latinos, and leftists in 2016 than those during the earlier presidential elections who ultimately decided either not to vote at all or vote 3rd. Michael Moore indeed has a very valid point and he really alarmed me (maybe rightly so) when he further said that if the Biden campaign does not change up their strategy by doing what he has been greatly pleading them to do, then Trump might very well win again, and we cannot survive another 4 years of the Trump administration. What do you all think about this?

Wait, Woodrow Wilson was a great leader and a highly intelligent man.

It's about both personalities and policies. However, generally, it's both the debate skills and the personality (presentation style and charisma) of each the candidates that primarily influence the voters' perception of how compelling each of the candidates were in the debates. However, I generally don't think that the general presidential debates greatly affect either nominee's chance of winning the election.

Yeah, that's what I am saying. How about Andrew Jackson who was president a few decades earlier than Andrew Johnson? Jackson was a terrible racist.

Well, I mean that they don't have to campaign for 2 years in order to be allowed to run for the office. However, most presidential candidates began their campaigns almost 2 years before the day or night of the actual presidential election. https://www.thoughtco.com/when-the-race-for-president-begins-3367552 I think the presidential campaigns that occurred respectively for the the 2008, 2012, 2016 presidential elections were way too ridiculously long. Even the presidential campaigns for these upcoming elections have not been any shorter.

Well, the election process is not a long series of steps that the candidates have to go through for about a whole year per se. What's really been happening since around the beginning of the new millennium is that presidential candidates such as Biden and Trump end up campaigning for about 2 years before election night. Also, all presidential candidates from the two main ("electable") parties, the Republican and Democratic parties, have to first go through a preliminary race called the primaries. This means that all of the Republican presidential candidates first have to compete against each other in their own party's race for the official title and position of being the Republican party's one and only presidential nominee for the main general election. The same goes for the Democratic presidential candidates, whereby they first have to compete against each other in their own party's race for the official title and position of being the Democratic party's one and only presidential nominee for the main general election. This is done by popular vote. The final determination of the single nominees for each of the respective parties usually occurs around the middle of the calendar years, and about a few months before the election night of the US presidential general election.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. I still worry that there may still be too many block-headed people who are still not getting it in their heads that Trump has become arguably the most unstable, most dishonorable, and most unqualified president ever in contemporary U.S. history, whereas Biden is a truly temperate, honorable, and qualified politician who absolutely gives off the impression and actually is much more presidential than Trump could ever be.

Yeah, I see your point. Well, I hope you're right. I wonder what highly skilled marketers like Leo have to say about what Michael Moore is saying.

It's very sad to see the amount of the kind of deplorable people we truly have in our country ever since Obama left office. This is one of the main reasons that I am really worried about the future of America.

Yeah, they don't look intimidating at all. Unless, they were a gang of Neo-nazis, White supremacists, and/or Skinheads with guns, I wouldn't take any crap from any MAGA supporters. Besides, most of these people in this vid look too out of shape and burned out to even put up any kind of fight.

I have nothing to sell really. Is there any other kind of way to make money online?

Guys, I've been trying to get another job lately, but I've already been rejected by about 30 jobs that I applied to. I only got one part time job at Macy's which pays minimum wage. I was close to getting a job at Wells Fargo as a teller and a job at a really fancy hotel, but I got turned down by both of them after my interview for each of them. It's so frustrating and I feel very hopeless. How much of a numbers game is it? How much luck is really involved in finding a regular decent job?

I actually already tried asking a few of the hiring managers who decline to hire me what feedback I can get for why I wasn't hire or what I could do better for possibly the next time I apply for the very same or a similar position to it. Yet, some of them said that they don't give reasons as to why they didn't hire me and other hiring managers simply ignored my request for feedback. Also, I also heard that hiring managers don't tell the candidates whom they declined why they didn't pick them for the job because it could otherwise put their companies at risk of getting into some sort of lawsuit situation.

What if I get rejected by 100+ more jobs I applied to? How do you know that I can do it?

How can I talk to the managers who declined to hire me? They can't or won't tell me why they didn't hire me?

Things have not been going well lately with my career. Last week, I was forced to take a leave of absence from my Master's degree in Teaching program because I screwed up with the teaching placement internship experience for my program twice. I couldn't follow my guiding teacher's instructions effectively enough and I was too slow with delivering my lesson plan. The first time I got cancelled was back in early September, and then I had to go through a 4 month placement academic review (PAR) process with a guidance counselor, who was supposed to help fix all of the issues I had during my first placement experience. I worked with this counselor consistently for over 4 months on extensive outlining and planning a toolbox of things for me to use for my second chance at another placement site which I tried during the middle and end of last month. I always came on time if not early everyday to my placement site and always look very decent and very professional. I acted as a very polite, respectful, and decent individual who behaved appropriately around the faculty and the school kids. According to the complaints the assistant placement director she received from my first guiding teaching were: 1. I had difficulty following directions a number of times and so my guiding teacher during a number of instances had to modify the set of instructions or directions she gave me for a certain task or assignment she gave me to do. 2. I took too long to do certain task given to me by my guiding teacher, such as cutting pieces of paper in the faculty work area for about 25 min. 3. I made her feel uncomfortable when I was near her personal space (*this was actually not true and I don't know what she was talking about). One of the most unfortunate things about all of that was that my first guiding teacher never even talked to me or warned me clearly about any of this in person before she decided to cancel my placement. She instead told her boss, the principal that she couldn't work with me any longer, and then the principal herself told the assistant director about it, who then told me about the news over a phone call and email. This guiding teacher turned out to be a spineless coward who didn't have ANY DIGNITY to tell me this in person. Instead, she blindsided me by telling me on the very last day that I saw her that would see me next week and then go tell the principal about her issue with me behind my back. I of course felt very devastated by this and actually fell into a major depression over this during the following few months. After completing that placement academic review process with the counselor and got myself prepared to go back and try again at another school placement site, I did my very best to implement EVERYTHING that me and my PAR counselor work very thoroughly on to ensure my success this time around. This last guiding teacher I worked was more upfront in a good way and really did try to help me success this time with the placement. I thought that I was performing better this time around by being even more active and prepared to help out my guiding teacher's students in the classroom in every way possible. I came off as a very likable and charismatic person who project even more enthusiasm, energy, and alertness then I did before during my last placement site experience, not just around my guiding teacher and other faculty members, but also with the all of the kids. Also, I always came on time if not early everyday to my placement site and always look very decent and very professional, just as I did during my placement site. I acted as a very polite, respectful, and decent individual who behaved appropriately around the faculty and the school kids. However, there were unfortunately a number of instances times were I did screw up following the directions and each time I would screw up she would mention it to me. Eventually, she told me that she became increasingly concerned with my ability to follow directions because as a teacher I have to "think on my feet." Furthermore, I took too long with with my very first lesson plan, which I co-taught with the teacher (I ended having the lesson taught for about 3 times a long as it should have been time-wise). Finally, last week on Monday I got a call from the Assistant Director of the Placement, who told me that she had noticed the concerns from the emails she received from both my guiding teacher and my university class professor (who taught the class I had to take concurrently with my placement site experience and is part of my Master's degree teaching program) about my performance. The Assistant Director stated that she was receiving the same concerns that she received from last placement (except this time there was no complaint about me making the guiding teacher feel uncomfortable like my previous guiding teacher complained about). while my placement was technically not being cancelled again yet, she estimated that most likely it will be cancelled. I told her that I while I understood these concerns, I told her that I was actually getting better this time and improving from my mistakes over the course of the few weeks of my placement experience. She said "Yeah.....though to be honest your guiding teacher and university professor have felt that you haven't been making fast enough progress. They also said in their email conversations that they are very concerned that I could jeopardize the kids' education and not be able to effectively manage them." This shattered me completely and I told her how horrible I felt and how very disappointed and upset none of my success advisor and PAR counselor failed to fix my issues and prepare enough the second time around for the placement site. My PAR counselor was supposed to ensure my success as long as I completed the PAR program with her 100% completely, which I did. The Assistant Director said that I indeed successfully completed the PAR course with the counselor and was confident that I would be prepared this time around; however, she said that they can only do so much and apparently were not and are not able to help with the specific issues I have. She said that sometime later during the week or next week that someone would be coming in to observe my performance. However, the deadline for dropping the course and getting my refund of this quarter's tuition was the day after my phone call with the Assistant director. Also, she said that because she predicts that my site placement will probably be cancelled again, I will this time have to go under a serious academic review from university to decide whether or not I should be terminated or what to even do with me. I decided that I couldn't risk losing the opportunity for my refund and eventually getting notified and have on my school record that my placement is 100% cancelled again. Therefore, I decided to drop the placement site and my concurrent university course for quarter the next morning and take a leave of absence from the program. This was an incredibly painful thing for me to experience. I am 32 years old, I got kicked out of an MOT occupational therapy program a few years for sexual harassment, this MAT teaching program didn't work out for me, people all my life ever since I was a little kid constantly got frustrated with being unable to sufficiently pay attention well or listen well enough, and I've already been rejected by several jobs that I just recently applied for. Even at the hospitals I volunteered, they thought that I've was becoming a liability to the patients I was assigned to help. The Occupational therapists I shadowed back when I was applying for OT school told me that they didn't recommend that I become an OT because I don't have the capability to become a good one. ADD (predominantly inattentive disorder), APD (auditory processing disorder), GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), Depression, and Asperger's for my entire life. I've been to all kinds of highly qualified therapists and psychiatrists all of my life. I tried reading up on all kinds of self-help for my disabilities. For countless years, I've tried very hard to apply all of the best advice I've ever gotten for my disabilities. Yet, I am a 32 year old unemployed worthless freak who probably isn't cut out for living in this world. I no longer believe that I have anything useful to offer to this world. No one wants to hire me and even if I did get a job no one will want to keep me. The only paying jobs I've ever had were when I worked for my father as an Assistant Draftsman and Construction for several years and when I worked as a Seasonal Sales Associate at Halloween retail store for only about a month long. Everyday since I took the leave of absence, I've been feeling this impending doom over my financial life.

I just came across this vid of a clip from an episode of Dr. Phil. I felt really bad for this guy. Why didn't the law of averages work in his favor? I thought that after a certain amount of experience and rejections from women you would inevitably get a yes from a girl. https://www.drphil.com/videos/ive-been-on-probably-300-first-dates-but-ive-never-had-a-relationship-says-47-year-old-0/

So, I am still struggling to figure out what my life purpose at, especially since I recently was forced to quit my master's in teaching program about a month ago. I still can't afford to pay for Leo's Life Purpose course and I feel so lost at the age of 32. I know that we shouldn't constantly compare ourselves to others, but what I truly would like to know is how some people were able to figure out at such a very young age what they were meant to succeed in for their lives. Like how did so many of these celebrities who first became successful during their late teens or 20s figure out and continue to succeed onwards decades later figure out at such an age that they were destined to become a highly successful actor, musicians, models, athletes, business people, entrepreneurs, scientists, heroes, etc.? How do others like Leo Gura or these other young highly successful Youtubers or Instagram figures for various genres such as Fitness, Music, Art, Comedy, Filming, Gaming, Fashion, Business, Entrepreneurship, Tutoring, Dating, etc. figure out ALL ON THEIR OWN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE that what they have succeeded in doing is what they were going to be successful at and truly be passionate and happy about in the future and for the rest of their lives? I bet that the vast majority of these people didn't even have something like a Life Purpose to guide them to help them figure it all out.

Fitness, acting, martial arts, fine arts, studying some anatomy/physiology. I would do any of those hobbies if I didn't have to worry about money. I wish I could get more people to workout more often, but it's very difficult to get clients who want to commit to it. I've struggled with finishing grad school twice and struggled to get even a decent job for myself.
