Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Twdft]

But the coming months will be comedy for all the rats jumping ship.

Yeah, not the first time that happens.

The secret police in East Germany had at the end 1.7 million informants and employees within 17 million citizens. You get another impression talking to people after '89. There will be a fuckton of "Americans" who'll go like "nah I wore the hat ironically, never liked the guy"

[Kathranis]

The most alarming thing is that Trump got so many votes in the first place to challenge Biden, a sad day for the USA for sure.

Yes, it's kind of sad. But also keep in mind that the US population is is about 331 million people.

Even mustering all his supporters, that's only about 21% of the population.

Yeah, you could call out all the people who didn't vote for being complicit, indifferent, or just cynical. But let's not categorize anything close to a majority of Americans as actually supporting him.

[Kaleredar]

I get their sentiment. This should have been a much larger blowout to prove America is better than Trump. Instead Trump got a larger number of people to vote for him than he did in 2016 and it took several days for it to be called instead of just several hours.

I'm beyond ecstatic that Biden has won (despite the "legal" fuckery that's going to be happening in the next week or so) and we should be celebrating that, but we shouldn't forget that this election was also proof that there is a LOT of fucking work to do to both clean up his mess and try to ensure it never happens again.

One step at a time. A Biden victory is that first step. Tying up the senate is a pretty big leap, but that’s next up. And hopefully Biden and the democrats mobilize themselves to descend on Georgia to register and encourage as many people to vote as possible over the next few months. Pull out all the stops.


Also, they were responding to a poster named “TJ.” I’d be supremely suspicious of their attempts to deflate a Biden victory.

"Mom, can we get Four Seasons?"
"We have Four Seasons at home."
Four Seasons at home:

It's a joyous moment, but I can't help but think of all the suffering and death we had to endure just to get to this point. So I can think of no more appropriate track to celebrate the Orange Man melting into a puddle of rage.

(Fucking awesome song)

You Can (Not) Be President.

I see you put this, and i raise the offer:

Right now, it is looking like Biden is going to win. However, I will not be surprised if it ends up in the courts. Still may not make any difference however. It is not going to be easy for the Trump team to prove any cheating.

If Biden wins, I will be disappointed of course, but not surprised. But I will recognize him as our President, while at the same time, disagreeing with his policies. And I should be referring to him as our President if he does win come Jan.19, 2021.

LOL tool won't even wait till the policies are released to proclaim he is going to disagree with them....

most of his policies will save his socialist payments and benefits as well give him even more

[D Luniz]

So wait I've been out of it.

Biden appears to have won.
Esper resigned because he disagreed with Trump.
DeVos just got fired.
Meadows and multiple other WH staffers have covid and were spreading it through the west wing for days, keeping their infection secret.

People are losing their minds over Biden winning, either in a good or bad way.

Am I missing anything?

ok, wait, when did Esper resign? I thought he just made the letter, but never handed it
and when was Devos fired?

Hey hey hey. MAGA Hats. 45 got beat by a guy who has lost the defacto meme when it came to losing presidential bids a lady who had to drop out of race.

"The greatest president ever" Lost to those two - an old man 'who never came out of his basement' and 'communist woman who couldn't make it through the primaries'

How bad do you have be at your job to pull that one off

[Hobb]

Where would you rank Trump on the list of presidents, from best to worst?

US historians already said Trump's actions in office will place him on the top 10 list of worst presidents. As far as what number that still has yet to be decided, at one point they were considering placing him at number 3 on the list.

This Four Seasons Landscaping story is such an appropriate end to the Trump presidency.

Couldn't believe it when I first read it. It's like a story from Veep.

[xmirrors]

Booking a landscaping company instead of a hotel, sending Giuliani to speak in front of a dirty garage, and bailing to go golfing is a very fitting end indeed.

A shitshow ending to a shitshow presidency. fitting

And of course it's not over.

Graham vows Senate Judiciary will investigate 'voting irregularities'

Anyone want to bet there are only "voting irregularities" in states that went blue by just a little bit? And not, say, any due to voter intimidation or bomb threats by Trump supporters?

Remember when Trump retweeted a Thanos meme?
