Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

The thing I don't see people talking about with regard to this is that a lot of emphasis should be placed on the fact he WAS PAID TO SAY THIS.

ALL of those "concerned poll observers" that were paraded before the cameras to tell their tails of woe were, very likely, PAID ACTORS. As soon as they are questioned by someone with authority and there are actual consequences for them (including jail) should they continue the lie, they will fold. And the sooner this happens, the better.

It's actually quite poetic in a certain sense. Trump's campaign began with paid actors, and his Presidency will end with paid actors.

McSally, who lost, also refuses to concede. So are Republicans who lost like...just gonna show up to do a job they weren't elected to do, aren't legally allowed to do, and can't do, and then cry fowl when the Capitol Police deny them entry or something?

It's George Costanza scene where he goes back to work on monday after quitting in a rage on friday pretending nothing happened.

Kelly is already in DC doing orientation.

[Poopymonster]

Can they even define "socialism?"

Anything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport!

If Trump manages to bring evidence of tampering with the votes, and takes the lead by math, then Biden lost.

Oh, oh, let me guess, whatever evidence Trump brings cannot possibly be real and it's a coup.

Hasn't that been the swan song of the Trump "administration". They know the truth, and the proof will be present just any 'ol day now. It would be sad if it wasn't so pathetic that Trump loyalists are injuring this country on a daily basis with their unfounded perceptions of reality.

He has the most votes momentarily. There are lawsuits going on, and recounts in several states.

So you don't know how recounts work then? Interesting. Do even know what vote count changes were made in the last few state-wide recount? Less than 500.

It should be noted that Georgia is up to a +14,149 vote difference now, and they're not done counting.

Wisconsin is also at +20,539.

The chance that either will flip upon recount is infinitesimal.

Barr-ing strange situations, yes. It'll be good to see any state complete, of course, it'll end this nonsense once and for all.

Ya, this shit is over. I really hope that the dems win the senate in january, just to tell the republicans to get fucked, and pass an election reform.

Hopefully there's synergy between the voters for each Democrat candidate who will just vote both on the ballot and carry them to victory. I feel like Republicans were more likely to just vote anything with an R in the first place, so this may be just the focus necessary to allow the Democrat voters to do the same and potentially outnumber them.

If Warnock and Ossoff both win in January, I think we'll need to find a spot in the administration for Stacey Abrams.

EDIT: To be fair, any federal election reform would likely only be possible through a Constitutional Amendment. Any other election reform would probably have to come at the individual state level, also.

On the flip side, I hope this clusterfuck actually becomes the push we need to start enacting real election reform. Between waiting a fuckin' week for two states to decide their votes when one candidate already had a solid Popular lead and now a petulant child throwing a fit on his way out because he can't stand the fact that he's a Loser

[JustinJgh]

Wait until someone smarter than Trump comes along.

We need to split the United States to be honest. It's the only way.

If somehow he takes the country over and remains in power I'm taking my computer programming skills to China and prepping to take back the country by force.

Anyone voting for these Republican enablers at this point is a dire threat to our country and needs to be taken to the streets and executed just like the God damned French do it.

I am so sick of this crap.

Automatic registration and voting via popular vote in a Sunday/holiday would be a good start. Ya know, things we do here, in a 3rd world country.

The problem is the Dems fight fair while the Pukes fight dirty.

Every Puke attack ad you see is a burning city and COMMUNISM while the Dems are "uniting America!"

It doesn't work in the new age of social media.

How come nobody called Trump a wannabe dictator trying to install a authoritarian government?

As President Donald Trump’s campaign continues its wild attempts to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory through a series of tenuous lawsuits, it was confronted on a call with the media on Tuesday with reports that one of its witnesses who had alleged ballot tampering had recanted his story.

What followed was several seconds of silence.

Then the campaign offered without evidence that perhaps the witness had been doxed — and that he wasn’t a big part of the case anyway.

Apparently the guy that perjured himself in a sworn affidavit was nothing more than a covfefe boy. Who could have seen this coming.

Election Modernization Act: here's a big sack of cash to fix your election infrastructure. It's contingent on passing these reforms at the state level.

This x 1000.

People need to stop thinking that using the same tactics as the other side somehow lowers ourselves to their level.

It's our beliefs and our values that make us who we are and that separate us from them, not our tactics.

If the other side is bringing a gun and we bring a knife because we're unwilling to stoop to their level, we're going to keep losing.

NYT called officials in every one of the 50 states and the response was universal: They've seen no evidence of any fraud or irregularities out of the norm.

Well, except Corey Stapleton of Montana, who did not respond to them but did post on Twitter about the election in his state -

One of the Secretaries of State who did not respond to requests for comment about the election in his state was Corey Stapleton of Montana, an outgoing Republican. But Mr. Stapleton did post a message implicitly addressing the president’s ongoing fraud claims. “I have supported you, Mr. President,” he wrote. “@realDonaldTrump accomplished some incredible things during your time in office! But that time is now over! Tip your hat, bite your lip, and congratulate @JoeBiden.”

Trump supporters, you're gonna have to "ACCEPT THE RESULTS" sooner or later. As you reminded everyone else repeatedly over the past four years.

[Breccia]

"accept the results".

Or "YOU LOST GET OVER IT"

[Kathranis]

It's funny how many of these gumshoes think that watching CNN's election map update tallies is evidence of fraudulent ballots magically appearing.

The Pukes are such evil geniuses the have convinced half a country to consistently vote against their own best interests.

They have 0 shame and we need to fight back just as hard as they do until we eliminate the entire party from existence.
