I'm not surprised Trump is winning, I'm surprised by how comfortably he is winning.

Whatever the outcome (I think Trump will win, but I really am hoping to be truly wrong this time), one thing has become obvious and ought to be undeniable...
The whole "return to normalcy" routine centrists have been pushing has completely fell on its face, failing spectacularly.
As did the notion that an army of white "Leave it to Beaver" suburban moms are going to swarm out and carry Biden to the White House on their shoulders in the name of centrism.
This strategy has clearly and horribly failed, tho I doubt centrists will be able to accept this, and I know they will ignore it if Biden somehow scrapes out a narrow win, doing nothing to address the underlying systemic failures.
LOL - that's hilarious.
Trump pulled out of the TPP which was specifically there to combat China.
Trump isn't pro and anti anything - he is just an incompetent fool being taken advantage of by enemies inside (Mitch etc) and outside (Putin etc).
Anyway - I'm relatively safe where I live for a few years, but I feel bad for all the youngsters heading into a pretty crappy future.
Today was a nexus, and the US voted to head into hell.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Bush Jr skirts by because even though he did a lot of bad stuff, he wasn't exactly racist, or sexist. He killed a lot of foreign innocent people but a good part of the country was on board in parties. He flipped the American lives lost under him as soldiers dying for their country. The economy was so damn complicated that people dont know who to blame.
Trump has none of those get out of jail free cards.

I actually do, yes. Although I do admit my specialty lies in neurosurgical methods applied on animal models, mostly involving stroke, not in making a diagnosis. But it matters absolutely naught to me whether you wish to believe me or not. Won't affect my credentials any, after all. And is still very, very obvious Biden...isn't at his forte. Even though he might very well be able to hammer out 4 years without having to step down prematurely, it should be said.
If it goes Trump's way so heavily, it's only a further reminder that America is no longer any form of leader re: social progress.
It's heavy regression. My wife was like, 'how the hell do people vote for Trump?' I explained single issues like gay marriage, abortion, race relations, healthcare, guns. Literally stuff that isn't even close to being on the ballot in the country like the UK. Because we're not that backward...
Fuck you.
You can't do universal healthcare as a charity dumbass. It relies on sharing the risk pool among a massive population in order to keep premiums down for high risk people, and it relies on relatively healthy people buying in.
We have universal healthcare for seniors and those in poverty already, and we have since fucking LBJ. It's just the rest (the majority) of everyone else who gets fucked in the ass by healthcare costs, insurance premiums, wage slavery since your benefits are most often tied to your job, the works.

Okay so I'm looking at Biden 244 Trump 247 and then WI, Mi, and PA.
If Biden wins both WI amd MI, he has 270 and wins.
If Biden doesn't get them both, we have to wait to see what happens to Pennsylvania.
In Asia, Trump is seen as the enemy of China. Biden will extend the "olive branch".
How polls were so wrong again? After being spot on for the midterms?
Forgive my english, as i'm not a native speaker
Amen. I've been screaming this for awhile now.
Independent no longer equals moderate/centrist. Independent equals disillusioned. People are fed up with typical politicians.
The ONLY reason Biden won the Dem nom is because Dems thought he was safe. Most dems, preferred policy from other candidates, but voted Biden because he was centrist and safe.
I know @cubby is going to come here and scream at me again, but if the primary numbers were indicative of voting, then why the fuck was Harris the VP nom and not Sanders or Pete or Warren, who all had more delegates than Harris who had none?
Biden may still pull this out and hopefully he does, but regardless, Dems better change their fucking strategy going forward.

I'm not implying it. I am saying it.
This was supposed to be a slam dunk, a landslide, a clear victory.
We've been told for months how suburban voter will swing everything from Georgia to maybe Texas. How Biden is so much more electable than Sanders or Clinton. How just winding back the clock to 2015 is what will carry the day! Etc.
Well...here we are, in the verge of a 2nd Trump term.

Trump has a 400,000 plus lead right now.
There are 2.6 million mailed votes but I assume some have already been counted.
If, say, 3/4ths of them have already been counted, Biden would need a ridiculously high percent of what's left to take Pennsylvania.
