    It cannot still happen. The only avenue to it means the destruction of the United States, and armed insurrection.

    At this point, you're sounding like Michael Moore, being a doomsayer just in case things go wrong, so that you have the self-satisfaction to know you were right.

    Your belief here is irrational and unjustified.

    I couldn't care less if the media calls it or not, tbh. That's not going to change who won, anyway.

    That actually just passed in SF, believe it or not. A "super rich" tax that IMO doesn't go far enough, but is a start.

    Still pissed Prop 22 is passing (garbage Uber/Lyft one) and Prop 21 (making older residences eligible for rent control on the local level) isn't.

    They're gonna wait till it's mathematically impossible based on remaining ballots for trump to win, at least for Pennsylvania. we're at least a day from that happening. maybe longer.

    but yeah it's over.

    Like, a secretary of education that isn't trying to defund public schools and funnel it into private schools. Ah, what a concept.

    Networks aren't going to call that because of the provisionals... even though they're going overwhelmingly for Biden.

    We're not going to get a call for PA tonight. This is just rediculous.

    I am growing more and more convinced that they are just dragging this shit out for ratings now.

    Glad to hear it. I'm still going to have to leave the state because I can't afford rent on $23 an hour, though. That is with me being a cheap fucker, driving a 15 year old car, no hobbies that I spend money on, no debt.

    It's so sad. Doesn't have to be this way.

    Hahahha, not a bad idea. He's too much of a little bitch to go through with it though.

    No... The AP and Fox called AZ correctly on Tuesday. The math was there, but it had a margin for error that the first maricopa drop made the other networks not trust.

    Now we're in this stupid game of chicken because Fox and the AP calling NV means they'd have the presidency called. Once AZ is called by Edison (which feeds ABC, NBC and CNN) the other networks will call NV.

    Otherwise we have this weird few day long period where 2 networks call the race before the others.

    They're trying to cut down on confusion, but in reality this is just making things more dangerous nationally.

    Some shit has been attempted but FBI and local authorities nipped it in the bud before hand.

    Popping in to say that I am now committed to taking a vacation in Georgia. I have no idea what there is to visit there, but it's becoming my favorite state. Texas, on the other hand, needs to get its shit together FASTER.

    They are trying to milk whatever ratings they can from the Trump dumpster fire before Joe pisses on it and puts it out in January.

    Does Fox and AP share the same outsourcing company for this?
