Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

Is that going to be the new "screaming SJW girl" meme? Or is it only ok to freak out when you're freaking out for 'Murica?

Hahaha I was waiting for this. I don't know, he's a decent contender, but we'll see.

In what world did Trump get more votes than Hillary?

Well, any world where 67,977,659 and counting is a bigger number than 65,853,514...

If the count ends up at 270/268, then I think we all owe Nebraska-2 a round of drinks.

rofl he's scared of the one obamaha EC vote.

A post of mine from a week ago. jeez what an idiot i feel like now for laughing about that Trump campaigning in that 1 district. IIRC it was there he left them stranded the first time? might have sealed the deal for all I know.

I think the non-voting VEP was over 100m, but registered voters? I want to say it was around 60m.

That's still a lot of people who probably have a distinct political preference but would rather shit talk on the internet or their local bar than actually vote.

Its a little more noticeable on the Dem side where we have the difference between Obama1, Obama2, Hilary and Biden. Some have better turnouts because there's a mix of fear and/or enthusiasm.

Praise Be.

The tech guy who runs the board on MSNBC was making a big deal out of it, saying how it's a path to a narrow victory.

Trump supporters are taking this better than I thought

The very best part about that is the team he's supporting thinks he's part of the master race.

Watching this on fox news. The presenters look and sound like they live on cocaine..

What else would you expect from a right-wing news outlet that feeds on conspiracy theories?

California is obviously not "The most Progressive State" given Prop 22 and how easy it was for Uber and Lyft to buy that election and buy endorsements from the likes of the CA NAACP. Second, How you feel about Prop 22 is unimportant, it passed in supposed Liberal, soon to be Lefty Paradise. How does that happen given your theory? Unless you labor under the conviction that "Left" just means "Super Liberal". In the end these ideological positions have opposing interests. ACA is never going to turn into a Universal Health Care system, EVER.

lol yeah, Californians actually did pretty good, imo. Rejecting higher commercial property taxes, rejecting woke racism, rejecting bogus regulations(e.g. dialysis requirements and rent control), and being pro-gig economy.

I switched to fox news last night after hours of MSNBC, and it was hysterical. Because it was right after the steroid/riddlin-addled speech Trump gave where he claimed victory and asked for all voting counting to stop. Gumble broke away from it mid-speech and started pointing out all the lies. Fox News was playing the "what he meant was" game, and it looked like they were trying to swallow spoonfulls of vinegar.

We should gauge by percentage of registered voting population.

Agreed.

I was shocked that in my area is was like 55/45 for yard signs. I assumed it would be mostly trump. Only been here less then a year though so will see how crazy NE can be.

HRC got 66m votes in 2016.

Trump is currently sitting on 68m and counting.

By the final tally he'll likely have accrued over 70m votes.

The country is nuts.

Wisconsin and Michigan called for Biden. Arizona as well. With Nevada leaning Biden with only Las Vegas/Reno votes to count.

Biden count given the above: 270.

Nevada is probably more comfortable for Biden, since the early votes still out are in the major Dem districts, doubtful Trump will pick up more there of all places. Arizona on the other hand the missing votes could skew a bit less towards Biden. Really depends hard on Maricopa County and if Trump can close the gap, as he won it in 2016 by like 50,000 votes, and now is behind 100,000 (but he's currently at the same vote # he got last time).

Could help there's no Gary Johnson this year.

Nevada is going to release some ballots tonight instead of tomorrow. I think they were starting to feel the incoming stares from millions of people.

Cool can we vote govt employees reclassification next.

Gee what stops any industry at this point funding a Prop to re-classify employees to save money?


Cheering for corporations and big businesses to make even more money and pay less taxes....yikes. Shame CA, shame

Did AZ get uncalled or something? Right now Biden is sitting at 264 called states from what I can tell.

Where at? Each tracker is a bit different, not seeing that call on NYT or from the AP.

If the Lincoln Project manages to steer the republican party back into some version of sane then that's fine by me. I would love to actually have a choice with my vote instead of automatically voting dem because the alternative is fucking crazy. I absolutely hated 2016 and I may even despise 2020 even more. I didn't want this election to be what it is.

Honestly, I think the republican party should collapse as we already have a right wing party with the Democrats, then they can split and the more right leaning of them can join the sane republicans of today (As rare as they are to find) and the left leaning ones can join with the progressives and we actually have an electorate more representative of the nation and the fringe right and left still left out.

Either that or we expand to make 3rd parties viable with ranked choice and such at which point I would be happy with 20 parties on the ballots so long as the media gave them equal time and coverage and it didn't boil down to money and donors.

A couple outlets like CNN and NYT haven't called it yet.

Just as many have, however.

Nevada being called and if it is for Biden will hit Biden at 270
