That's objectively not true.

I think most liked X's policies, but felt Biden is the safer pick because....reasons.....

So most dems favored other candidates but voted for Biden becasue "reasons" and this somehow makes your statement the objective truth. got it.

Or lead in polls for a whole year.

His take is bad... dems first choices dropping out, is what helped swing the election to Biden.

Because they dropped out...

This is really making me lose a bit of faith in humanity. Not that I had high expectations for this election, but the polls gave me hope there would a least be a notable shift in the right direction. I'm seeing none of that.

Regardless of how this turns out, this is a problem much bigger then just Trump.

Trump wasn't exactly making a secret of being a lying, incompetent, corrupt sociopath.
And apparently a very large part of the population wants just that.
It's deeply disturbing.

Good luck with the rest of the election.

Misinformation and propaganda won this election. I'll give you an example, there are four people I check in with on facebook, they are trump supporters. Friends of my wifes aunt. Anyways, two are banned right now because they were making death threats because they heard antifa was coming to central wisconsin to riot. One is cryng about polls and the other is telling people buy more ammo and posting this, talking about civil war. This country has a rot that is not going away in our lifetime.

Nearly? ANTIFA and BLM have already started it.

According to this, https://www.270towin.com/2020-electi...georgia#senate they both will if they fail to get more than 50%. In either case, the majority could change mid session. I was just curious how that works.

Ah, ok - thanks for the link. It will be interesting to see if the Ossoff/Perdue race can hit 50%+1. Obviously the other race is going to the runoff.

If they both go to runoff Georgia will be fucking insane in January. I wouldn't be surprised if $0.5B was spent there alone.

[Machismo]

They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country!

Trump Tweet.

Yes this amazing thing is happening! When votes come in they are counted! Shocking!

At least Trump admits he hates free voting.

That would mean they are misinformed... Because Trump doesn’t come out and claim to be a fascist. You have to read between the lines...

Not a lot to read when he called racist good people, tweeted white power, Covid handling, article 2 says I can do whatever I want, paying porn stars. You and I both know the fucker ain't subtle.

AZ update: apparently the use of sharpie pens in gop precincts is causing ballots to be invalidated. Could be huge numbers of mostly Trump supporters. More to come

Oh the Mother Effin Irony!!!!!

For those who may not be familiar. Trump is know to sign everything in a sharpie.

[Cthulhu 2020]

That the election is even this close after the last 4 years genuinely terrifies me.

Half of this country - thereabouts - truly does live in a completely alternate reality.

It's kind of hard to avoid political talk in voting day, so yesterday my day was filled with quietly nodding at people who said they didn't know who to vote for. "I can't trust Trump/Trump's handled covid really bad, but *insert Tim Pool talking point about Biden here*."

It was painfully obvious they voted for Trump and were pretending to be indecisive. If there's one thing that will eternally confuse me, part of the reason many people vote for Trump is that strong-man machismo archetype, the type of person who's a bully and can bully the other houses. Some people just LIKE bully leaders, and that's what Trump is. But at the same time, it seems a lot of Trump voters are having to pretend they don't like him or vote for him because they know just how bad it makes them look.

Trump's a narcissist, his campaign communicated with Russia about interference in the 2016 election, his tax records show clear tax fraud and tax evasion, the entire family is nepotism incarnate, out of all the world leaders Trump has handled Covid the worst objectively (we had the tools and technology and means to stop the spread and we didn't because Trump), He's severely out of shape and can barely climb up or down small inclines without sweating and getting winded, he clearly has moments of dementia where he's not there. But hey, Biden has a stutter, must mean he's unfit to lead!

Even Fox doesn't believe that.

I don’t know... reading that Trump tweet gave me more hope Biden will win, than any post here. He confirmed that they are finding Biden voters everywhere... thank GG Alan...

LOL, On my ballot, it literally says NOT to use a sharpie.

Biden can work with this GOP... that was his calling card during the 80s and why he is such an easy target for leftists through the 90s.

I think it's been proven that no one can work with McConnell unless you completely concede to his every demand. The modern-day Tea Party/Qanon GOP is not the same one he worked with in the '80s, '90s, or even early 2000s.

They usually in no short words directly say “use a ball point pen”

Keep counting in Arizona!
Keep counting in Nevada!
Stop counting in Georgia!
Stop counting in Pennsylvania!
Stop counting in Michigan!
Keep counting in Michigan!
Stop counting in Wisconsin!
Count everything all over again in Wisconsin!

I think Biden will concede a little too much...

Edit: This is not a joke... The best choice for a candidate, based on current results... Would have been the Rock or other benign liberals celebrity. He would have carried Florida... at least...

I even asked this of my local office when I voted a couple weeks ago, I wanted to avoid touching communal pots of pens on desks so I asked I could use my ink pen, they said its a bad idea and handed me a traditional black ballpoint.

Aint rocket science folks.

[Paranoid Android]

Sen. Susan Collins says she's "just received a very gracious call from Sara Gideon conceding the race."

I mean what can you do. Idk how many who choose to split the ticket who really disliked Trump so decided to go Republican Representative or Senator to check Biden. I'm mainly talking about Republican leaning voters.

People who vote only for the president...

[Nurasu]

I kind of hoped that one would at least make it into ranked choice tabulating, so we could see how that shook out.
