Decent read... lays out a blueprint for how Trump could play things out and delegitimise not just Biden’s presidency but the whole political establishment in the US... and by extension that of the Anglosphere with the same influence his presidency extended to morons everywhere.

2 things:
It seems preposterous to me that such narrow margins can translate into an EC landslide for Biden. Surely this isn't how democracy should work?
And secondly, is it possible that 70 million Americans believe that Trump is a fit and proper individual to give the keys of the kingdom to? What is wrong with Americans? How can they possibly be regarded as a nation fit to lead the Free World when they select this charlatan as representative of themselves?

It's about 55 races with the DC one and how they split up Maine. Each one forms part of the jigsaw.It seems preposterous to me that such narrow margins can translate into an EC landslide for Biden. Surely this isn't how democracy should work?
Still, with 3 levels of federal government plus one at state level, I wonder how effective it is anyway

It looks inevitable that Trump will flip Arizona. That means that Pennsylvania and Georgia become crucial for Biden. And the margin in Georgia is absolutely tiny.
He just needs Pennsylvania and its all over red rover for the Orange Shitibbon, and Biden is strolling away wirh that and most of the others nowCarter's Choice wrote: Sat Nov 07, 2020 6:18 am It looks inevitable that Trump will flip Arizona.

“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Funny that, because trump has also been known to ignore final notices...
I read some surface-level analysis somewhere that suggested part of the problem is that the polling organisations have moved from reporting on polls to trying to predict behaviour based on a number of different metrics, and that's where things are going a bit haywire.Hugo wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:00 pm Regarding the inaccurate polling I've always wondered how they control for the type of people that are willing and likely to engage in polling. I know for myself whenever I am asked to be part of a poll or fill out a questionnaire I normally decline because I don't have the time.
it strikes me that polls are going to be susceptible to overrepresentation of the views of bored housewives, students, activists, retired people and the unemployed. People with careers and families who are always on the go have less free time to engage in polling and are less politically "visible"in general, they move quietly, don't protest or draw attention to themselves but they do vote. Their views don't seem to be reflected in the polling.
Not that it really matters, because Biden is strolling it in Penn, but Trump isn't gaining votes quickly enough to take Arizona - if the current rates continue. It could be close but Biden is still favourite to take Arizona.Carter's Choice wrote: Sat Nov 07, 2020 6:18 am It looks inevitable that Trump will flip Arizona.

Agreed. Trump behind the required run rate to take Arizona...not impossible, but unlikely.Ovals wrote: Sat Nov 07, 2020 12:33 pmNot that it really matters, because Biden is strolling it in Penn, but Trump isn't gaining votes quickly enough to take Arizona - if the current rates continue.

Looks like Trump won the new batch of ballots from Maricopa County by 15.6 points — 56.4 percent to 40.8 percent — which is not bad but slightly less than the pace he needed. This makes his path back harder in Arizona, though I wouldn’t say insurmountable.

BBC interrupt the football commentary on 5 Live to proclaim Biden the winner.

Trump will now do absolutely everything to cripple the apparatus of government and delegitimise Biden as much out of spite as anything else.

Good riddance to the disgusting excuse for a human. Its unbelievable how nearly half of american voters can vote for this cunt. Putin wouldnt behave like this moron would.
He belongs in a corrupt third world african country, but i wouldnt even wish that on them.
You really have to despair for humanity. I dunno. The world is going nuts. Is it the vocal minority and the silent majority need to step up? Normal sane governments need to stand up to all this nonsense we are seeing in the media and social media.
Was listening to an interview with a trump fan yesterday. An older lady. She couldnt say a bad thing about the man. He has transformed the economy according to her, despite the fact it was on the way up at the end of obama. Its was all trumps doing though.
Asked about him being a narcassistic person. She couldnt see it, couldnt understand it. He got covid, but went straight back out to his rallys because he cares about his supporters. It was such a caring thing for him to do. He wasnt looking for votes or anything! Of course the moron interviewer was hopeless. Incapable of challenging these people.
And i forgot to add, congrats joe biden.

His (also slightly mental) niece was on the news last night saying all that.

All the money you made will never buy back your soul
I thought the UK took top prize in how thick people could be for voting for Brexit, but fuck me how fucking stupid are trump voters shouting 4 more years when they've just lost, I think we should send all the dumb cunts from the UK and join hands with the dumb ass rednecks in the USA.

Indeed !
People asking what Biden is going to do in his term, are rather overlooking the fact that his agenda is simple; undo the damage done by the disgusting scum over the last 4 years; then he, or his successor can start worrying over their own agenda for change.
problem is this when dumb fucks get spoon-fed utter bollocks by the right wing papers and Fox News they buy into it and believe every word of it, same thing with Brexit and many other issues, we live in world where the truth is pretty hard to come by.Mr Tim Buktoo wrote: Sat Nov 07, 2020 4:46 pm Good riddance to the disgusting excuse for a human.

70 million Trump voters believe in the utter bullshit that comes out of Trumps fat fucking gob, thank christ a millions more voted for Biden.
What cunt trump wants and the other cunt Trump Jr is civil unrest.
Don’t you guys think it’s a bit more complex than just; ‘morons are the problem’?
Ignoring and insulting great swathes if people just feels like re-entrenchment is the likely outcome.
The Centre needs to properly analyse the problem and work out a solution.
