US Politics XXIX: The Final Thread Before XXX

[Irvine511]

It's telling that with what looks to be a 5 point national win Dems still can't take the Senate and the EC is as close as it can be.



One popular vote win in 30 years.

This is minoritarian rule.

So please, rest of the world, know that the clear majority of us don’t live in a red state meth lab.

I also wonder if any one else could ever make the rurals outperform like Trump does, or would win 18% of black men, and like all the Cubans in Florida.

Other things to think about: it’s always difficult to unseat an incumbent, and Trump used the levels of government to try and rig this thing in a way no one else ever has.

I also wonder if all COVID did was amp up each side. Seems that “wear a mask” was motivating, but so was “free Michigan!” So it was information that amped up turnout but was politically a wash since how you felt about it was determined not by information but by your cultural identity.

I also think shenanigans went down in Miami and the TX border.

But we’ll see.

Yeah most sites still show GA at 92%.

Hewson is killing the positive vibes. Go update Pick’em instead.

Hmmmm so msnbc just kind of gave a buzzkill on Georgia just now. They’re thinking there may have been a data error and that were not waiting on as many votes as we thought.

Sorry, just trying to be a realist. Hoping I'm wrong, but still don't see Biden getting 313 EC votes. I still see 270-268 unless PA has massive votes come in for Biden.

Hewson is also trying to convince people that I'm not winning the pick'em pool, which we know is fake news.

 

[mikal]

Biden now ahead in MI

 

[phanan]

Biden takes the lead in Michigan. Here we go!

The problem is that the independents didn't break for Biden in huge numbers.

And the massive number of people who don't even bother to vote - if THIS election didn't drive turnout far more than it looks like it might have, then I don't even know what to say.

 

[Hewson]

Go update Pick’em instead.

You and I did not want this to happen.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

If you took Biden when the overseas market swung to advantage Trump you're going to be in for a nice pay day

When is he going to declare?

He already did.

Lesser of two evils at this point.

 

[anitram]

He already did.

I meant something more forceful and dictatorial and on national TV in prime time (rather than "Frankly, we did win").

A data error in Brian Kemp’s GA? You don’t say...

DeKalb is currently at 83/16 Biden.

Fulton is 71/27.

DC decriminalized shrooms y'all

Sorry bout my GA post about vote left to come in last night. MSNBC had some numbers up that were either wrong or I misread.

Something mischievous seems up still

It was the highest voter turnout in 120 years.

Joe Biden has passed Obama's 2008 popular vote total.

Joe Biden has passed Obama's 2008 popular vote total.

Some of that can be attributed to population increase. 27 million more folks.

 

[iron yuppie]

So is Green Bay planning on reporting anytime in the near future?

As soon as Eric Trump finishes his visit to the vote counting center.

Sure but remember all the dead people and illegal immigrants in california still need to be added in.

California has a lot of vote still out.

 

[gump]

Susan Collins has fallen under 50% and there's still 30% of the Maine vote to go.

[iron yuppie]

Okay so what is holding up WI? It's been on 97% all morning.

Where’s this from? Not discounting just can’t find it
