Yep, final score for NC as well... Looks like Biden got the same amount of EV as Trump did in 2016... guess what that means... Brunch for everyone!!!

[DingDongKing]

Very historic victory for Joe and Kamala.

Everyone saying it was a "failure", can eat a moldy cat turd.

I mean, really, the Dems need control of the Senate or this is going to be a very rocky. That said, I don't think that's on Biden.

The Dems in Senate/House need to get their shit together and unite.

As per Trump's measure, that's a blowout/landslide/huge victory.

[Kaleredar]

It's hilarious how ignorant these people are.

All they've got is hearsay, conspiracy theories, and feelings. No evidence.

If they think democrats are this good at cheating, they should just give up.

Maybe these election results will demoralize enough of these rubes that they just give up on voting altogether.

Luckily their grievances and opinions about whether the vote was rigged or not have zero legal weight.

They could be for Biden, they could be third party, they could even write-in ballots For Captain America.

Oh no... which one? Which one!?

[Egomaniac]

Oh no... which one? Which one!?

Hydra Cap....still better than Trump.

At the very least, Hydra would have a vaccine for Covid already...to go along with their more lethal, weaponized version of the virus.

Did naught see this coming.

The Grifter Left suddenly remembers that drone strikes are a problem. Whenever a Dem is in office.




Is it really a horseshoe when they were same person in 2015?

I'd like Tucker to explain to me why there are still troops in the Middle East to begin with.

Didn't Trump promise to bring them home?

Lindsey Graham joins several other Republican senators in supporting Biden getting intel briefings just like Trump.


"Well, not just like Trump. I can read and don't need my name on every slide" -Joe Biden, probably.

"We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College. I guess the final numbers are now at 306," - Trump 2016

[Cthulhu 2020]

he's more popular than you think, just not amongst the "very online" crowd.
people are craving stability right now, as well.

he already signaled he may not run again, the repubs have already been focusing their attacks on kamala for this reason.

Yeah, I expect 8 years of controversies to hit Kamala over and over. That's what happened during Obama's presidency, they knew Hillary was the next candidate because the Democrats weren't exactly secretive about it. Republicans did their damndest to smear Hillary's name. In 2008 Hillary was incredibly popular and well liked. People had nothing bad to say about her other than her marriage to Bill. 8 years of nontroversies from Republicans, and if you remember the 2016 election, tons of people said they didn't want to vote for Clinton because she was "shady" or "untrustworthy". You ask them why, and ultimately you'd get an answer pointing back to the number of controversies she'd been in under Obama. It was an 8 year smear campaign that worked, but Republicans blew all that hard work on Trump.

just think this is what that hard working factory worker in ohio voted for, obviously firing everyone in the intelligence community will help his day to day life, thank goodness that factory worker didnt vote for dems in the senate, they would absolutely destroy his way of life by taxing corporations at a higher rate and giving him subsidized healthcare. And just to think his economic anxiety just went away after he heard the great news that illegal babies were put in cages! imagine how much his anxiety will go up once that goes away. Well i cant wait to see who the "forgotten man" nominates in 2024, god help us

They've had a smear campaign against hillary for more than 25 years. It didn't start in 2008. It started when bill was president.

[Nurasu]

If they allow Joe in on intel briefings, they have to admit that Trump isn't attending them.

They're briefed separately, not while they're in the same room.

Well, it was a humorous visual for a minute, anyway.

That's what I don't understand. Why is his voters putting up with this. Multiple states are quickly maxxing out their ICU beds. Mississippi, Ohio, Montana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Idaho are out of ICU beds and at 80 - 90% occupancy of their total general hospital bed capacity. Unless the patient is in critical condition, he or she get to go home and self-treat.

Sure sounds like the start of death panels

[kaelleria]

My brother in law was selected to be on his hospital's death panel back when Covid first started... It never got to that, but it's a very really thing and will probably happen again.

That already happened in two states. I think it was Arizona and NM that had to literally triage to the point where they were denying treatment to elderly patients given the lower chance of survival.

Republicans literally had doctors decide whether grandma and grandpa live or die. And Sarah Palin was nowhere in sight.

[Zaydin]

Well this Trump speech coming up is probably going to be a massive shitshow.

[Zan15]

This thread is long and I wish I could link all the info in it here because I know people will just ignore it

But I just wanna mention that a majority of rural white voters have said they want universal healthcare, police reform, abortion, something done about climate change, immigration reform, and more. 59% of rural white voters said white supremacists are a major threat to our country. They also said only 36% of rural white voters were even contacted this cycle by Democratic Candidates or the Party. Only 50% of rural white voters were contacted by anyone, in either party.

If you think Democrats need to move right to win over these people, they could start by actually even moving to reach out to them at all.

How can you win over stupid?
They are voting against their own interest and openly admit it because they fear the things they are uneducated about like "meh socialism".

It would have to be a massive education program, but in the end it would just be easily overridden by someone on the right screaming "fake news".

They have been bred to vote republican.
They have been conditioned to always think democrats are lying and are part of some large conspiracy.


I was just talking to one of these "rural" voters couple days ago. He was claiming Joe Biden was going to keep Obamacare and he was going to lose his Medicaid.

Trying to explain to him that the "Obamacare" is the reason why he got approved for Medicaid because they expanded the income limits. that just the opposite would happen if Trump gets his way and abolishes "Obamacare"
He Said no, the state is in charge of all that..... /facepalm.

Half an hour later after explaining how I have decades of health insurance experience and how Medicaid works, he kind of sorta believed me.

In just two days he was back to talking about how Biden was going to destroy America and take away his Medicaid.

sigh.

and that is just one of the topics on that list.
