Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[s_bushido]

What's the big deal about calling it? They still haven't called Alaska for Trump, and I don't think anyone believes that's going to go to Biden. If you guys are hoping that by calling it, it will mean that coverage of the election will slow down...well...I've got a warehouse full of Trump ballots in Philly to sell you if you believe that.

Call this shit...

I dont get it.

Had to check what "hanging chads" meant and ended up reading quite a bit about the whole Bush vs Gore presidential election in Florida... I had no idea that the Supreme Court intervention basically decided the final result of that election which is absolutely disgusting. At least this time I don't think anything like that can stop Biden from winning.

Yep, and the final count likely would've been Gore.

Don't underestimate the Republicans' willingness to sacrifice and pretense of democracy in the name of power.

It's mostly to

1. Trigger the fuck out of Trump
2. Get the transition team officially going
3. Get the eviction team together for when Trump clings to the doorframe
4. Stop the "uncertainty" circus that is all media right now


There's a lot of technicalities to get to once the election is called, and Biden is President-Elect.

IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE TRUMP MAY BARRICADE HIMSELF IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND REFUSE TO COME OUT IF BIDEN WINS

At this point, a quasi reasonable person might say to himself, Okay, I’m going to cut my losses, salvage my last atom of dignity, and admit defeat. But obviously Donald Trump is not reasonable and he has no dignity. So instead he’s decided he’ll keep fighting this thing well beyond the point that it’s hugely embarrassing to do so, and even after that fails, refuse to acknowledge that he lost and that Joe Biden is going to be president.

Yes, like George Costanza deciding to just go back to the office on Monday as if he didn’t quit the Friday before, Trump apparently thinks he can just go on being president even if the American people have fired him.

This man should be in a mental institution.

Let's see, people in bright, colorful costumes, dancing in Philly, and waving flags...Trump flags.

Mummerfuckers.

I think you underestimate how many people still think the race is in question because of the media's mishandling of this.

I wonder if they are gonna show that live on tv. Going to be fun to watch.

Agree. To me calling it is just the next step. The longer this drags on the more credence it gives to Trump.

Honestly I don't even care about GA, AZ and NV at this point.

PA is all they need to fucking call it, who gives a shit if AZ tightens up, or GA does a recount it's a damn technicality at this point.

Ughhhhh.

[s_bushido]

Not sure. Still way too subtle, imo.

[passingthrew]

I cant imagine giving a speech to this many people let along having a stutter. I thought it was well done.

I don't give a shit about any of them at this point. I've known what's going to happen in this race since Wednesday at 7 AM.

The longer this uncertainty happens, the more likely there's going to be violence. There's already been bomb threats and multiple arrests of domestic terrorists.

Oh fuck did I miss the Biden speech. Damnit
