Agreed plus it’s pretty nice to see Dems turning on AOC and blaming her and the squad for losing house seats

Yeah, haven't seen that.  I've seen some dissension among the ranks, and it would be fantastic if moderates boot out Pelosi.

But the Establishment is going to curb-stomp AOC pretty soon.

The election really doesn't tell us much, but there's plenty of meat on the bone for pretty much everyone to find a mandate.  IMO - my takeaway - identity politics is losing more ground.  And socialism is losing more ground.

Link? Would love to see this  

She did an interview Saturday basically saying she may quit politics if her party isn’t nicer to her. Then she said the losses were t because of her but lack of digital ads.

LMFAO....To be honest, that sounds A LOT like a public salary negotiation with CNN or MSNBC.  The only reason she hasn't pulled that trigger is she's trying to figure out if she has a path to VP or POTUS, which offer like 10X the pay day.

Only in America can a dumbass bartender parlay alarmism and sensationalism into an 8-figure payday.

My favorite was where she said she’s equally serious about starting a homestead as she is about running for higher office. Dramatic much? 

I cannot imagine wasting money like that on a friggen politician. ffs

Pretty spot on.  It would have been fun to see heads explode, but that novelty wore-off a few years ago.

As long as Repubs hold the Senate, I really don't give a shit.  More crying that we've become accustomed to over the past 14+ years while absolutely nothing changes for 99% of the country.

So the president is an asshole?  Subjective in every measure.  Also I love that the president all of a sudden has an affect on people at the personal level.  Trump policies have never negatively affected anyone in the US.

I also admire the amount of mental blindness it takes to open a four-sentence post with two sentences about using subjective claims and then finishing with their own hilariously over-the-top subjective claim.

The conservatives are still waiting for the left to give Trump a “shot”. It’s only been 4 years. 

While lefty twitter and crazy liberals yeah never gave Trump a shot, I think a wide majority of the country did after the election. He then screwed it shortly after taking office with the Muslim Ban and his conduct on twitter. Trump was never able to grow his base or his support above 47% of the country. 

I don't think it is a wrong approach for us all to give Biden a shot out of the gate. If he reverts to the typical liberal policies that republicans dislike, then so be it. Conservatries can go back to their corners.

I think your other post is right on. It seems like most of the country in those swing states ticket split. People want anyone but Trump, yet a divided government. We likely got it. 

I’ve been disconnected the past few days aside from knowing when the election was called.

Catching up on everything now. 

The Four Seasons Landscaping debacle is goddamn amazing.

I feel I could’ve sorted and counted all the votes myself and had it done by Thur

Here's the thing: the reason there's a thing called @FiveThirtyEight is because 538 was the margin in FL when the Republican SCOTUS reversed the 2000 election during a recount, making Dubya the president. That's the kind of margin where races can flip. That's not what's up now.

Um...538 is the total number of EC votes and why you need 270 to win.

That lady is clueless especially on what happened in 2000.

This could be bad.  There's just no way they're ever proving widespread voter fraud that could even be argued to overcome a 50-100k deficit.  I'm guessing their hope is to come up with a variety of anecdotal evidence and then argue there's no way to know how many votes were affected....so we need a run-off.

The late arriving ballots were apparently nowhere near enough to offset that deficit.  We really, really wouldn't want to throw out otherwise legal ballots simply because they came a few hours (or even a few days) late.

I think one of the lawyers said this weekend we'd see evidence [yesterday] after they filed.  Still waiting on that evidence...

Unity and Healing!

And no, there is no way there is enough fraud to prove anything material. At this point it is just a witch hunt to prove any. It’s still annoying that it’s 2020 and this is the dumbass way we count votes.

Personally, it’s the best way. I want every vote to be cast in paper, so there is a trail.

That went swimmingly back in 2000.

I agree, though, because one computer glitch could cause mass chaos.  Imagine a Presidential run-off because a state lost 100k votes and there was no other way to certify the winner.

Not to put too fine of a point in this but calling it a Muslim ban shows that you're a lying hack.  Have a nice day.
