I’m not dismissing womanfish and I’m not saying Biden didn’t run a good campaign.
I’m dismissing the notion that black people “showed up for Biden” and otherwise wouldn’t have shown up for other candidates, as though Joe Biden has inspired people in Obama-style proportion. That’s a distortion of the story and does an incredible disservice towards the grassroots rebuking of Trump that occurred.
Sorry I’m short on time today, cause I do agree with you that BLM was the driving force this year, especially younger voters. And while this was certainly more an anti-Trump turnout than a pro Biden. I still think that Biden was the best choice for the moment. Without the moderate suburban, Republican and senior vote - along with holding and improving margins with white and a sliver of non-college whites, it would have been really ugly.
This will get called prior to Biden's statement tonight.

So I wonder what the vote difference threshold needs to be before news outlets call PA. 30k?
Thank you so much Martina, I'm so touched that you remembered and mentioned her. Especially since I'm going through something brutal in my life these days.Things just keep getting worse.
Thank you❤
the reason not to call it at this point is that it isn't prime time ratings hours yet.

Id suspect a gap has nothing to do with it. They’re probably waiting until a statistical tie is outside of the confidence margin.
Right, I get it. But it seems like for most of the pundits out there, they'd be comfortable calling it now, whereas before, not so much.
I'm sorry to hear, please take care of yourself and here is to a happier and better year to come.
I'll second that.
Hopefully things will improve for you again over time.
