US Politics XXIX: The Final Thread Before XXX

[Moonlit_Angel]

Oh hey, Mississippi has voted to stop using a racist, treasonous flag and instead depict a magnolia on its state flag. That’s nice.

Someone shared a photo of the new flag on another site. It's really pretty!

Oh damn. I slept until now. This looks reaaaaally tight.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I tried to see if I could get some sleep earlier.

Clearly, it didn't work.

 

[mikal]

Morning! Good things happened while we were sleeping.

This is still too damn close. What states are we waiting for?

This is still too damn close. What states are we waiting for?

We'll know WI in the next 15 minutes. Nevada will most likely remain Biden. If Biden holds both he needs only one of MI, PA, and GA.

Let’s go back to bed!

Let’s go back to bed!

Haha too late for that. Coffee has been made.

Good morning fellow citizens living through an attempted coup!

In all seriousness, this was not supposed to be this tight.

In all seriousness, this was not supposed to be this tight.

I think we were all right when we looked at the polls and said that we have to act like we're 10% behind.

How do you go up against a dude who had no plan for a pandemic and has presided over nearly 10m cases and nearly a quarter of a million deaths... and not win by miles. Some promising results coming in, but geez

Democracy is flat on its back, Jack.

Because we're an insanely dumb and racist country.

Staring at Wisconsin results is heartpumping stuff.

Staring at Wisconsin results is heartpumping stuff.

It "shouldn't" change much. Green Bay normally leans slight Dem. That's all we're waiting on.

If Wayne County votes continue to come in at the same percentage them Michigan goes blue as well.

Yep, if he holds WI and MI, then GA would just be icing on the cake.

 

[phanan]

I’m awake. Please tell me good news.

In all seriousness, this was not supposed to be this tight.

According to polls, which I never believed. Believe polls at your own peril, circa 2016. Plus never underestimate cult like behavior. Shouldn't we know that after all these years of it?

I see this morning that Trump is behaving exactly as predicted, so at least those predictions were accurate. Of course zero margin of error there.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I’m awake. Please tell me good news.

Biden looks like he'll win at least Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada - possibly Georgia and maaaaaybe North Carolina. Pennsylvania doesn't have enough data yet to count.

Which means that Trump has declared victory and will ask the Supreme Court to make the states stop counting votes.

Happy Wednesday!

Brown County in WI just told local news that the results now should "hopefully" be uploaded in the next 15 minutes. Now these are absentee, so hoping these favor Biden. If that's the case, he wins WI.

Biden is also approaching Obama's popular vote record, which is something most bad candidates do.

That's what we get for nominating a safe candidate.

Biden just gained ground in Brown County in WI. Not by a lot, but Trump will fall behind by more.

Be prepared to take to the streets, folks.
