Some people are convinced news vans parked in media spots are sneaking in ballots. We tried to explain its just camera equipment. They weren’t having it. @NBCNews @MSNBC pic.twitter.com/jc32kNcXOa

November 6, 2020 at 6:10 pm #123953wvParticipantElection officials are saying they fear for their lives.
The president's son is calling for "total war."
The president's former top adviser is calling for the beheading of the FBI chief.
But yeah, those of us who talk of authoritarianism & fascism, we're the alarmists, right?

November 6, 2020 at 8:31 pm #123960wvParticipantDems are losing their minds celebrating a 6,000 vote lead. They are touting these results saying "oh I guess he was electable, fuck you leftists"; a 6,000 vote lead in PA? This is what you guys consider electable? Against a man who killed 230,000+ Americans? This is pathetic pic.twitter.com/Z9ftxNmd1I

November 6, 2020 at 9:02 pm #123962wvParticipantThird-party and independent candidacies accounted for more than 5% of the total vote in 2016.
This time around, those candidates are only drawing about 1.5% of the votehttps://t.co/yjfTg7yddA pic.twitter.com/UqjUblQSXd

November 6, 2020 at 9:16 pm #123963wvParticipant“…With votes still being tallied and nails still being bitten in several battleground states, Jorgensen’s vote total currently exceeds the margin between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden in three states: Michigan (+0.87 percentage points, with 90 percent of ballots counted), Wisconsin (+0.51, with 97 percent counted), and Nevada (+0.27, with 87 percent).
Though 1.14 percent marks a steep drop-off from Gary Johnson’s 3.28 percent in 2016….
….The Libertarian is quintupling Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins’ current total of 0.23 percent.”November 6, 2020 at 9:34 pm #123964TSRFParticipantWho the fuck won? Certainly not us…
All I care about now is get Agent Orange the fuck out of there.

You may need to change the heading to Election Weeks.
;>)
Just my take, but I think the networks are afraid to make the obvious call, and if the shoe were on the other foot, they would have made it Wednesday. Fear of Trump’s tantrums is stopping them.
Business Insider, for example, called the race for Biden Thursday, cuz of PA. Didn’t give him more than that, but that put him over 270.
Another thought: America has to be the most uninformed, disinformed nation on the planet. All kinds of pre- and post-election surveys saying large percentages of Americans thought/think the economy was/is relatively good, and Trump has done a good job on that and the pandemic.
In a sane nation, a well-informed nation, his handling of both the economy and the pandemic would be universally condemned, not to mention his endless lies, sadism toward immigrants, the poor, destruction of the environment, etc. etc.
No excuse for the richest nation on earth to be this lost in the fog.

November 7, 2020 at 12:28 pm #123980Billy_TParticipantThis is a great day, IMO. I popped the cork on a bottle of champagne, and had a bit, even though it’s too early.
The fascist POS has been vanquished!! The worst president in American history, an existential threat to the planet, and someone who was just fine with killing Americans in his attempt to retain power, is gone.
The wicked witch is dead!!

well. at least until 2024. biden trump II – trump lives.

Guessing your kiddin.
My best guess is that Biden won’t run for a second term, and Trump will be in jail, or in exile. Even if he skates from accountability for his crimes again, he’ll be 78 in 2024, with all kinds of the proverbial “co-morbidities.” I doubt he’ll even attempt another run, even if he had the health to do so.
I’m also convinced that he’s long been on drugs to keep him standing for his marathon stream of consciousness rallies. Which is why he continuously accused others of being on them. With Trump, everything is a confession or a projection. He goes on offense so he doesn’t have to defend his own actions, etc.
If anyone has seen the video of him giving a depo (in LA) before his presidency regarding a civil lawsuit against him, they’d see what I mean. He barely had a pulse. Absolutely no energy, much less bluster or swagger. A shell of a man, etc.
Am betting he’s had artificial help for years and years.
In short, the race in 2024 is likely wide open.
November 7, 2020 at 2:23 pm #123984InvaderRamModeratorGuessing your kiddin.
yours would be the dream. mine would be the nightmare.
hahahaha. yeah. i’m kidding.
November 7, 2020 at 3:22 pm #123986wvParticipantI have to say, the last two days have been two of my favorite days,
in my entire life. I am loving it. Just loving it.The Trump Nightmare is almost over. The Biden Nightmare is about to begin.
But for today, I am thrilled.
I am gonna watch Fox News ALL DAY.

I wonder if behind-the-scenes Trump will offer a “peaceful transition of power” in exchange for not being prosecuted.
I also wonder how many people in his administration will try to cash in on the most corrupt presidency in history by writing “tell-all” books – where they describe all the juicy details while pretending they weren’t complicit – ala Albert Speer.

November 7, 2020 at 3:56 pm #123991wvParticipantNovember 7, 2020 at 4:11 pm #123995wvParticipantLincoln project utterly failed – a higher percentage Republicans voted Trump in 2020 than 2016.
Meanwhile, the DSA @DemSocialists has won 26 out of 30 races this year.
Who are the pragmatists who know how to win, again?
