Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Thepersona]

If Biden wins, some fun/gotcha appointments he can make:

Fauci - Surgeon General
Hillary - Russian Ambassador

Sanders or Warren - labor department

[Masark]

How do we even approach fixing stupid this large?

Detrumpiification. And don't half-ass it this time.

Warren ain't goin nowhere, losing her seat would give Republicans another seat in the Senate. Same goes for Sanders, as VT has a Republican governor as well. His seat isn't up until 2024.

[Masark]

Sanders or Warren - labor department

No. Both Massachusetts and Vermont have Republican governors, so any replacement for those two would also be Republican and likely cost the Democrats control of the Senate.

I still find it extremely optimistic to think the Dems are going to gain control of the Senate this election.

Sanders or Warren - labor department

Sanders would be great. Warren is unfortunately stuck in her Senate seat - she won't even get a cabinet position because of the potential to flip the Senate.

It's certainly going to be difficult to do so - six currently held Republican seats are now listed as "toss-up" or leaning-blue. But we're still 90+ days out....

shame, if she was the one overseeing wall street regulation I'd be much more.... exciited? for Biden as president.

Same - she would be a truly fantastic Sec Treas - and she still could be in the 2024 administration.

However, do not despair - if Biden wins she will make a wonderful Chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee.

Moscow Mitch is apparently telling vulnerable Republicans to distance themselves from Trump if they feel they have to in order to win their elections.

Sure, but giving away 2 seats wouldn't help.

Polls and Percentages. How did those work out in 2016?
oh and check out the like-dislike ratio on the youtube videos and the comments across MSM. you'll know who the people are voting for. not these fake and fabricated polls sent to democratic high cities and counties.

Thanks for the quality data.

Translation: "I don't know how statistic work, but because Trump won I think they're definitely all fake and wrong and can't be trusted."

Translation: "Despite the complete absence of evidence, I am convinced that there is an army of Trump supporters who never admit it."

do you want me to show you every major poll predicting hillary would win
especially the NYT saying she had a 91.3% of winning

here's the tip of the iceberg

Oh no, absolutely not, but you wrote as if it was a foregone conclusion that they would have control. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but it's definitely still a very uphill battle to achieve. As we've seen in abundance the past few years, there's a whole lotta stupid out there that loves to vote against itself.

"I will continue not to understand how polls or margins of error work!"

[Shadowferal]

Moscow Mitch is apparently telling vulnerable Republicans to distance themselves from Trump if they feel they have to in order to win their elections.

That explains the latest rumor regarding the covid19 relief bill, in that the WH is possibly dropping the liability issue which was Mitch's "red-line." It's tit-for-tat., at least on the surface.

I feel like the cooky religious lady from The Mist every time I bring up the way the GOP will slowly disrupt the election while using left-wing concerns.

Suddenly (but not really because they hinted at it) they want to slow down USPS in the middle of a pandemic during a presidential election cycle - making it harder to deliver ballots on time. One of their excuses, COVID19 safety, yes suddenly they care. Another will be mail-in aren needed since elections weren't even canceled during the Civil War! Are tidbit they coaxed out of the left. Therefore they can restrict mail in voting as long as physical polling places remain. Oh and they can move polling places anywhere as long a physical polling place still exists.

So again, check your registration status. Check your mail-in status. Turn in your ballot ASAP when the time comes, hand deliver if possible.

So 4 years later people still don't understand how polling and probabilities work. That's pretty cool.

So you basically just linked two polls that were right....two polls that said she had a better chance of winning....

They said she had a 91.3% chance of winning....which means she still had a 8.7% chance of losing for which she did.
21st day before Election Day
By the time pre election day came around the NYT had that number way down btw.

They even accurately predicted what could go wrong " it will take a sudden and striking change in the fundamentals of the presidential race...."

So how were they wrong?


You are just another ignorant person who does not understand popular vote polls vs EC outcomes and odds on predictions.



You should list the only polling place he believes in Fox and Rasmussen. oops they both had Hillary winning in the popular vote polls. Rasmussen even had Hillary over 300+ in the EC.
