Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Not A Cat]

I do appreciate the unity approach over what would have inevitably been Trumps, "We beat the left!" speech.

[Very Tired]

Looking at Trump, I would say you can't make this stuff up, but nah, this was all so easily predicted what would happen when Trump lost. Seems like even Trump himself didn't have faith that he would win this election when he started to attack mail-in ballots.

Now I bet, if Trump ever actually gives up his temper tantrum, he'll go on to say how he tried to drain the swamp, but the swamp got rid of him.

Him pardoning himself for federal crimes isn't going to matter. We're already ass deep into the moronic "Lets come together and heal" messaging from Biden. Trump will never face any justice from the feds.

New York state, on the other hand? They're ready to hand trump his ass. They don't give a fuck about Biden's dumb "lets make peace with insane Q-anons" thing.

Not to mention his debt collectors, his taxes, and the rape case he's in the middle of where he's been refusing to give the court his DNA.

Something is going to stick, and he'll be fucked. Luckily we don't need naive Biden to do it.

Honestly Biden shouldn't do it anyway. Republicans would crow about "attacking political opponents" and "despite clear evidence of wrongdoing regarding emails, Trump never had Hillary prosecuted" and we'd be stuck in the muck while the beta plays "both sides".

Biden wanting the nation to heal and move on is the right play, given Trump is fucked 6 ways to Sunday regardless.

If we were only looking at federal charges for corruption in office, and there were no state charges or tax evasion in the mix, my opinion would be different.

There are plenty of ways to make Trump pay that don't also make the Democrats look vindictive.

I got to say, Kamala just comes off as completely unlikeable 90% of the time. Like talking to a cop. Her speech tonight was definitely in that 90%. It wasn't a bad speech, just not... endearing.

Biden's speech is pretty good, though. He's fired up.

[Mormolyce]

I mean, he doesn't understand that media always call the race early based on statistical likelihood. If someone's got 80% of the vote in a state and 80% of the vote is in, it's almost certainly going to finish that way. It gets more complicated than that, but that's the basics.

Those swing states are at 99% ish now, but NY and CA are only 78% and 66%. He's gonna take the big apple and tinseltown, you'll see!

I've noticed a distinct shortage of Trump supporters running around the past few days. Sure, the "I'm totally a progressive, and have always supported Biden, please ignore my posting history" crowd is abundant, but the die-hard Trumpsters... they aren't around.

That's too coherent for Trump. It would be something "Stopped Socialist Sleep Job, China Virus is gone, make America great again again."

[thilicen]

That was -fucking refreshing- coming out of the 4 years we just had.

[Underverse]

That was a really good speech!

Trade chat on the Illidan US server in the week or so leading up to the election was clogged with your alt-right internet trollsters claiming that Trump was going to cuck the libs once again on Nov. 3rd.

Yesterday and tonight? Completely silent.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Historical. Truly historical. There will be peace at last..!!

[Kathranis]

I'm not super confident that Biden will be able to push a truly progressive agenda, but...

It's such a huge fucking relief to have an actual presidential president after four years of Trump. The talk of hope, unity, the lack of narcissism... it makes a world of difference. It really does.

Ok the drone thing is pretty cool, I gotta say

"We're not haters, we love everybody" - MAGA cult.

not proud to say but I checked in on a few servers I have characters on. Not a god damn peep about trump on 2 of them and then went to classic and there was a little back and forth but it was like everyone ganging up on two morons saying some terrible trump stuff.

[CastletonSnob]

Trump supporters on Twitter are saying that the election was unfair and that Trump will win in the courts.



They really do live in a different reality, don't they?

[cors8]

Say what you will about Biden's politics but at least his family actually looks like they love and enjoy being around each other.

Your posts are tiresome...

Yet neither of those states elected a GOP senator.

The Republican who helped Biden win AZ did it posthumously.

The Republican who helped Biden win Georgia doesn't exist. Stacey Abrams won Georgia for him.
