Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Micfeind]

I will cut a check to whatever media calls the race during the press conference.

DO IT YOU COWARDS.

If I did it on a twitch stream what kind of check would you give?
Like one of those big novelty ones, I'd like that

[Felya]

First, GA up tp 7k+, which is nice!

Second, Trumps twitter, my god its amazing! That should have been happening for four years.

Not enough are blocked...

[Mormolyce]

The count, yes. Not trying to be a jerk, but we need to be careful with words if and when the usual suspects show up.

Sorry yes I meant count lol.

[Crispin]

lmao.

Incoming conspiracy theories and twitter “proof”

True, but you take what you can get at this point I guess.

[D Luniz]

Waiting. Hoping this drags out long enough that the state congress critters can go "We'd love to recount all the ballots, but there isn't enough time. So we'll give PA to Trump." I believe Breccia dear pointed this out in the last...you fuckers...I go to work, come home to 60 more pages...100 or so pages.

ya, Ive just been skipping to the most recent 5 pages when I get on, and only go back if the quote chain suggested something insightful

there is just no other way to keep up

He's bound to sabotage the inauguration some how, if he shows up at all.

He will have a secret service detail for the rest of his life. Impossible for him to show up unexpectedly. They would know and keep him away.

[D Luniz]

I am not Jesus nor do I have Alzheimers.

but are you forsaken?

Exactly. His campaign directly and I directly have lost every case so far due to hearsay and lack of evidence. His lawyers got bitch slapped in Detroit when they tried to argue that they heard something from someone else was evidence and not hearsay.

ABC reported that it's now official, Ossoff and Perdue are going against each other in a Trial by Combat, I mean, run off election, on Jan 5th.

Outgoing Presidents attend the inauguration of the incoming President. First row.

It is supposed to symbolize the passing of authority and the continuity of the Presidency.

What would surprise me more than anything would be Trump attending. He lacks the poise, grace and maturity to do so, or the understanding of why he should be there.

Unlike Obama, the who was targeted by Trump with 8 years worth of racist attacks and conspiracy theories.

Obama was there for the country and the office. Not the man.



But these are concepts that are far beyond Trump's comprehension.

4) Or, as @Doctor Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus said, he gets impeached for basically the same reason. McConnell would be more likely to do this than Trump's cabinet, but barring massive violence or blatant theft he'd still be highly reluctant to do so. It would be admission of massive failure, even though he personally is safe for six years, his friends aren't.

How and why is he safe for 6 years, specifically?

Politics would be so much more interesting if that was (still) an option.

What's scary is that the democrats dragged all 3 of Trump's scotus appointments through the mud. And then Biden threatened to destroy their careers by packing the court. Now Biden may have to grovel at their feet to get the white house. The scotus may ultimately decide Biden is just too dangerous to be allowed to have the Presidency if they can just award these states to Trump and be done with it.

One of the most amazing, tone deaf things I keep hearing on the networks is trump should be proud the republican party did well. Donald Trump does not give a fuck about the party, or anything else for that matter. There is zero chance he handles any of this with grace and we know hes going to burn as much of it down as he can on the way out.

Why for the rest of his life? What would that do?

[Benggaul]

He won reelection. Senators serve 6 year terms.

Ex-Presidents have a Secret Service detail for the rest of their lives. It's standard.

No they won't, not by a longshot:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...iden-6247.html - National Polling. Shows Biden on average winning the popular vote by 7%. He won by over 2%. That is well outside the bounds of ANY MoE, and there's a lot of polls there showing Biden ahead by 10 points, that's just nonsense.

In 2016 the polls were indeed in the MoE and the average of polling was only off by 1% in terms how Hillary would win the popular vote.

As for state polls? They were wrong on average by 7 points in Ohio, 6 points in Wisconsin and Iowa, and in many other states and the picture would look worse if it weren't for pollsters like Trafalgar who were FAR closer ( though wrong in a number of states ) then say NY Times.

America should feel humiliated by this, very few countries have such bad polling and most of those are flawed third world countries!

The angry protesters converging on vote counting centers, and vote counters afraid for their lives are also things that are associated with flawed third world countries. Threats of violence erupting is also not helping. And people around the world ARE noticing.

This is a bad time for the US. I hope that EU is strong enough to rise up and replace a lot of the power that the US loses as it falls.
