Election 2020

[tp4tissue]

Let's hear those predicitions.. !!

[Findecanor]

I predict that the next few weeks are going to be rough.

[noisyturtle]

I tried really hard to ignore politics the past few years and not let it affect me, but apparently that is impossible even for a socially reclusive hermit.

[fohat.digs]

not let it affect me

And just what is it that affects you more?

[noisyturtle]

not let it affect me

And just what is it that affects you more?

things that are directly within my bubble of influence

[tp4tissue]

GDi,, this is the most boring thing to watch, it's slower than paint drying.   YET CAN NOT LOOK AWAY..

//Very Upset

//Out of Oreos

//STRESSSssss

[tp4tissue]

These god damn swing states aren't swinging hard enough.. awrhiopgqh89p24y89pqg489p23hag5hoager;

[ninjadoc]

Fricking mess that is only going to get worse.
Paint dries quicker than these results will be finalized.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.... Tp4's gonna go out to buy some cigarettes.. smoke once or twice a year, this seems an appropriate moment. 

[noisyturtle]

There's much better stuff to smoke than disgusting ciggies

Lies.. Cigarettes r da-best.

[Venatorious]

Lies.. Cigarettes r da-best.

tp4 confirmed gross

[tp4tissue]

So clearly the russn are haxn' us again.  Welp looks like m0ar trump.

[noisyturtle]

The fact that it is this close with the very clear evidence of recent sharp declines in social and monetary economics is very disturbing. That this many people desire instability. I don't care if the president is completely ineffectual or a lame duck, as long as they do not actively negatively impact my existence. It is really difficult to believe that everyone has not been suffering at least as much as I have this past year and does not desire immediate change.

It's just so ****ing weird to me to choose a side despite obvious evidence. I guess that is the power of being American, it is a choice.

[icrchi]

I just wanna grill clack for God's sake!

[tp4tissue]

When we skimp on education.  People can't read, and this happens.

little lung cancer in a convenient stick form, and the best part is that you share it with everyone around you

[tp4tissue]

Michigan, Penns

Anyone ? yes no ? maybe ?

even GA, WI,  nail biters.

[noisyturtle]

Imagine coming home from work to find your house on fire and instead of calling the fire department you decide, "Let's just let it keep burning and see where this goes."

[tp4tissue]

Assssssume biden gets dat Pennsylvania,   (he's from there, and expects to get it from the mail in)

Then he just needs one of the following.


Wisconson

Michigan

North Carolina

Georgia

[yui]

you know that either way the "great" voters can vote for whoever they wish to, it is a bad idea for their career to vote for someone else but nothing prevent them from doing so, especially if there is a nice mansion or casino tied to voting for the wrong one...(as far as i read it is OK for a candidate to give those kinds of thing (forgot the word again) to great voters during elections and with Trump actively telling peoples to fraud vote)

[Findecanor]

If Trump somehow gets vote-counting shut down - and that makes him stay in power then would be an illegitimate president regardless of what the uncounted votes would have said. A cheater, not a winner.

That's illegal, isn't it?

as if that matters any more

[yui]

given how many illegal things trump seems to have done, one more one less, will not make a huge difference in the end, will it prisons for 50 or 100 years is not going to make a difference for him (i am joking, like everyone knows, he is above the law)

[tp4tissue]

Michikannn  Yeiiii Boiiii..

[tp4tissue]

As long as Nevada doesn't flip back..

[tp4tissue]

Nvada

Wiscson

Michik

N Caro

Georg

Most likely will get recounted during shenanigans.

[tp4tissue]

In theory,  if Russia wanted to do dat' hax,  they'd hack it so that the state they'd want to flip goes slightly to Biden,   THEN during recount, expose the hack as perpetrated by Iran,   Then boom, Drumph team claims victory as they hack the recount machine..  At least that's how Tp4 would stealz election.


recounts don't typically swing elections, but in this case, it very well could.

[tp4tissue]

Seriously, What is Pennsylvania doinz..  Comeeeoneoneoneone

[tp4tissue]

is each ballot read by multiple people ? or is it just 1 dude per ballot ?

laws are more of a suggestion for politicians

[tp4tissue]

NE 1 from Nvada ?   What's the climate ?  They gon' flip back o' firm Biden?

[tp4tissue]

How comz Biden didn' win Penns.   I thought everyone was like, -sure thing- this state.

[tp4tissue]

I bet they're letting all the hax fly tonight when everyone is tired. 

[tp4tissue]

Looking @ Georgia.. almost there.

[yui]

go to sleep, and open your new president in the morning, like xmas

Yea, pretty tired,  gotta  be refreshed on the 7th to buy dat walmart monitor.

I can't believe it has come to this. I didn't think it'd ever get this bad in American politics.

I remember, almost 20 years ago, me and everyone I knew or ever spoke to thinking George W. Bush getting elected being the most ridiculous thing in history. Seems positively normal in hindsight.

[fohat.digs]

You were right, it was. But that was the fault of the Supreme Court interfering with an established process where they did not have jurisdiction.

Today it is different. Rashomon-like, gaslighting by the far right media ecosystem has created a huge and radicalized subset of American society that lives in bubble where facts, reality, science, logic, and reason not only do not exist, but are actually demonized.

Exit polls reported that 40% of respondents said that "the economy is doing well" even with millions of people out of work, thousands of businesses closed, tens of millions of evictions looming, and also tens of millions poised to lose their health care during an epidemic that is expanding by the day.

I finished this book last night, and strongly recommend it:  https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48806578-it-was-all-a-lie

I've been watching this from the other side of the world- I've never paid attention to a US election before. It's just been totally depressing- that it could even be a close thing is just unfathomable to me. What's wrong with the country, and how as it come to this?

A minor sidetrack, I have been reading comments about Republican voters being against 'socialists/communists' getting it. What's with this crazy rhetoric? By world standards, American Democrats are pretty right wing already... there's no way the country is going to be even vaguely socialist anytime soon.

Socialism doesn't exist anywhere except in small tribal human collectives.

[Findecanor]

Why are US:ians so afraid of "socialism" anyway? Socialism exists in a broad spectrum, and you pick the things you want: it is not as if you would need to impose a totalitarian one-party state just because you have public libraries, trade unions and worker's unemployment insurance: ... oh wait, they already have those don't they.

i think it dates back from the cold war, socialism = communism = bad, both side were pretty much dictatorship back then and propaganda stays in the mind of the populous for a long time, especially if some have something to gain from it... and well one small part of the population do have a lot to lose from socialism

It doesn't date back to anything. The Plebs don't know what any of this stuff even is.

yes but they know they should hate it because their parents and grand parents before them did. someone does not need to know what something is to hate it, look at dihydrogen monoxide, there is even peoples outright saying it should be banned while it is as bad for you as any water you drink.

[Leslieann]

You were right, it was. But that was the fault of the Supreme Court interfering with an established process where they did not have jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court didn't decide that election, they only presided over whether there should be another recount in a disputed county and how that county should handle it. Later checks showed Gore lost that county regardless of how you counted them, Bush was actually correct in that instance. However, had Gore asked for a full state recount he would have actually won. Instead, Gore conceded the state giving Bush the win, not necessarily because he thought Bush won but because dragging it out even longer would have created a problem for a smooth transition of power not just for whoever won but also for the public. 

He was trying to avoid the situation we may be heading into now if Trump loses. He won't let it go and neither will his fans. Biden might, but should he if he wins?
