2020 Presidential Election thread

Good to see some of the good conspiracy bullshit on mail in ballots playing out on here. Let's see how the court decisions play out if there is actual malpractice. Random articles or twitter posts do not count. 

This is pretty much over, we are just in mop up duty now. I think in years past, this race would have been called. It does seem the networks are cautious as they are seeing the heat Fox is getting for that AZ call. 

In the other thread, I predicted Biden would win with 291 and he would take the upper midwest, PA, and AZ. That looks valid still. I did not expect GA. I came across the prediction  by looking at the poll numbers, accounting for a 2016 margin of error...and Biden would still win. That looks to be the case. 

I also was not as rosy on the outlook as Dems as I knew Trump would turn out people, and he did. 

I think overall, it was a good night for Republicans. Holding on to the Senate is huge. (The Dems are not winning both the special run offs in GA). The Rs even took some house seats. It proves that people just did not like the way Trump was acting overall and him as an asshole, but they liked some of his policies. Biden seemed to be not a radical choice. It does seem we saw ticket splitting. 

I actually agree with the VA Congressman, Spanberger, from the middle of VA. A Democrat in a mixed red and blue area, she only won by provisional votes. She blasted the Ds saying the socialism and right wing talking points stuck this year and that is why they lose seats. The Ds need to reign in the progressive talk, which I 100% agree. 

In my last few posts on here, I mentioned some are living in bubbles here. I think the election results kind of prove that. Both Ds and Rs got to turn out and live in their own world of facts and figures. The dream of a Trump big defeat that the liberals wanted did not happen, nor of a Trump victory that his followers wanted. The posters on here citing fraud also prove that. 

In northern Maryland, where I am, I live in R and D areas, that went heavily for Larry Hogan. In my circle of friends and neighbors that are Rs, some went with Trump and some went with Biden. The Hunter shit never was taken seriously. They saw it as the typical right wing bullshit. What mattered was Trump's actions and Biden's hopeful ability to lead. I think that logic played out across the country. The Hunter shit on here, did not matter, as I figured it would not. 

Now that Trump is going to lose, I think he will never say the word concede, or even say he lost, on that he was cheated. He will half ass his way through the transition, will try and block as much as possible. He will totally leave town the night before or morning of Biden taking over like the loser and asshole he is. 

I also think Biden will try and bring the country together and there will enough people in the Senate to get some things done in the 6 months and after that...we are back to normal BS.  

TLDR; Trump is gone, thank God.

Careful what you wish for. We've got a 50 year career politician who is almost 80 years old just starting out. Behind him is a very liberal, rich VP who is very much in favor of the heavily progressive agenda you mentioned.

P.S. Enjoyed you "I predicted" humble brags.

Any progressive agenda is DOA in a Republican Senate and a 6-3 Supreme Court. 

Over/Under how long Biden Lasts before democrats get rid of him. 

I guess 15 months

I actually agree with most of this. The republicans have a messenger problem (Trump) but the Dems have a message problem. People do not want socialism/ higher taxes. 

I would also say there probly is some fraud, but it’s immaterial to the totals.

So now Trump doesn’t think his team of lawyers are good enough to work this case. But he only hires the best of the best. 

I see AOC calling for lists and archives of Trump supporters so that retribution can be had. 

And, on another topic: One of the podcasts I listen to when I have time is Sam Harris. And yesterday he really went off the deep end. Essentially just telling Trump supporters (not necessarily Trump voters) that they need to take baths. This is so unlike him that I'm really a bit flabbergasted.

CNN calling it for Biden

NBC and ABC as well. The latest batch in PA put Biden above the threshold for a recount, and that is even without any ballots that came in the mail after election day. That also means Trump has zero recourse for a lawsuit to throw the result in doubt. 

The networks calling it while Trump is at his golf course is fitting as well. 

Glad that’s over!! Bye Donald!

Scarier thing is her diehard followers are probably hot on the trail already.

There’s a website set up where you can look up anyone in your zip code who donated to Trump and it will give you their address. What is the purpose of this website except to cause harm to those people

If everything holds, Biden would have 306 electoral votes, which is the same as Trump as 2016. Biden will also have the largest margin of votes/ victory in popular votes since 1996.

Isn’t this information required to be available due to campaign finance laws?

I’m not saying it should be used for retaliation but I think it has to be out there by law.

I’m not saying it should be used for retaliation but I think it has to be out there by law.

a few months ago a portion of incorrect ballots got mailed to folks in franklin county. franklin county realized their mistake and released a PDF of affected voters (names/addresses) and some people got bent out of shape despite the fact that *all* voter rolls are public information.

this is no different, where people are getting outraged over information they didn't know already was publically available.

could the information be used for nefarious purposes? yeah, probably. but it could've been used for nefarious purposes all along since it's not new information.

also, someone needs to check on Spock and QO

Dumb fuck cares so much about the election and his “lawsuits” that he’s out playing golf.

To be fair, most of his crooked lawyers that were up for the job are busy with prior commitments to finish serving jail terms.

And in keeping with the sports theme, people out dancing and celebrating and honking their horn like their team just won the World Series. 

So anxiously looking forward to tonight's celebratory riots....the warmth you feel from those fires is love!

What’s this guy doing right  now?
