2020 Presidential Election part 2

[Delphic Oracle]

Florida stayed red because Florida Latinos diverge from the overall subculture. Texas is a statement regardless of who claims it.

PA, OH, MI, and WI I like the looks of at this hour (if a blue shift from early/mail in can materialize).

I have nowhere near the certitude making calls as in previous cycles given the counting to come (and the court battles).

It is scary that Trump is winning in any state, considering what he is and what he stands for. I fear he may get re-elected.

Same. I truly, truly do not understand how this race can even be close. How could anyone cast a vote for that repugnant POS?

What the fudge is wrong with some people?

 

[EE2016]

Way too early to claim that. Biden is ahead now.

I didn't think he would win four years ago but here we are. I just don't see Biden edging out the win. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic and I hope like hell I'm wrong.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

The population doesn't want Trump. They didn't want him last time either.

Yeah, but one side has alternative facts, conspiracy theories, voting surpression, and super-spreader rallies on their side, while the other plays by the rules .

I don't want to get all doom and gloom, and there's still hope, but this is way more worrying than I would have liked.

 

[crescent]

If the population want him, they want him, and he wins.

If they want Biden they want him, and he wins.

No point getting all sensitive about it

Well, no. Trump lost the popular vote by 3,000,000 votes. We didn't want him, still don't.

Sadly, America is not a democracy. It just superficially resembles one.

 

[TahiniBinShawarma]

Right. Most of them are not wealthy.

Or white supremacists, but whatever.

 

[Cain]

I'm a Democrat, I want to help out, but I don't live in Pennsylvania. What can I do to vote there?

 

[angrysoba]

If the population want him, they want him, and he wins.

If they want Biden they want him, and he wins.

No point getting all sensitive about it

Haven't we just explained the whole electoral college to you? It's not the "population". It's the way the votes shake out in the electoral college. The "population" could go for Biden while Trump wins in the right states to get the electoral college.

 

[Minoosh]

If the population want him, they want him, and he wins.

No, that's not how it works in the U.S.

 

[CapelDodger]

Because I'm not a wealthy, white supremacist Christian.

I think that would be better expressed as not wealthy, nor bigoted, nor Evangelical Christian. The intersection of those sets covers the vast majority of Trumptrash.

 

[TahiniBinShawarma]

Media outlets are retracting their call of Virginia for Biden. I don't think they would do that if they didn't think Trump is going to win it. Trump has the lead, it made no sense to call it for Biden to begin with.

 

[CapelDodger]

I'm a Democrat, I want to help out, but I don't live in Pennsylvania. What can I do to vote there?

You have to wait till midnight, then you can flood the place with mail-in votes posted yesterday. Or something. Whatever, it's dead easy after midnight.

Reminder for everyone: it is not over until it is over.

Reminder for everyone: it is not over until it is over.

Particularly if it is close enough to have serious legal challenges

The population will absolutely go for Biden.

Reminder for everyone: it is not over until it is over.

At some point soon inevitably will loom.

Then wouldn't it be better to change the system than moaning about who wins out of it, if you don't like them?

 

[Cain]

Why hasn't anyone ever put it that way before? Yeah, let's just change it.

 

[alfaniner]

Skipping everything after my last post to here, and I'm just checking in on the TV reports. I don't ******* care about individual county reports. They don't matter at all. It's the state totals that are key.

I don't have enough info to see any kind of trend yet. I think I'll be up for a while.

 

[Bob001]

With all your new knowledge, go ahead and tell us what we would need to do to change it.
