Politics Turning GA, NC, NV, and/or PA into victory (Biden vs Trump, 2020 election!)

Since it will be within the 1% threshold he can ask for the recount, it would change anything, but it is his right to ask.

This. Recount all they want.

That's not true!

What they do is put the whole kid in a blender, so it's not just blood.

I do wish we could drive 150MPH

Move to Iowa or Nebraska and drive late at night....you can pick up some serious speed on those flat country roads. If you hit livestock you're fucked though!

Whilst walking to work this morning, I passed a group of about 30-40 middle school students chanting "BIDEN! BIDEN! BIDEN!". I have never seen anything like it in my life. Children on the other side of the planet, excited about politics, because of their dislike of Trump.

Shhhh... I was agreeing with you. Don't ruin it.

Just one, minute little question:

Where are we now compared to where we were 4 years ago and who stoked that fire instead of united us?

im better off. I understand some people arent.
Who stoked the fire? I know some think its trump but it was stoked the moment he became the primary candidate prior to getting elected.

listen. Im responsible for my own emotions and how i let them ictate my behavior and actions.
so is the president. And so are everyone else.

Stoking the fire? Id say the media if i was for ed to point a finger.

Protests are not the same thing as minority rule. Protesters do not control the government.

barfo

protestors are not the only ones out in the streets. If you think thats the case i have a bridge to sell ya.

 

[barfo]

protestors are not the only ones out in the streets.

Ok. Then once again I don't know what you are trying to say. Who were you talking about being out in the streets?

[Orion Bailey]

Actually, a second set of questions:

Do you think Trump is not to blame for the pandemic response given how people who support him have reacted to his response? Trump could have galvanized a scientific response. Did he? Did he try to curtail this? Or did he dismiss it, and then try to instead galvanize his "society" to "liberate" states who undermined him?

We don't have a united president.

trump absolutely failed at the response. So did most other countries when using hindsite.
Again. Trump supporters should be held accountable for thier own behavior. Not deflected onto the president. And i say that going both ways. Meaning, if im speeding because everyone else is im not gonna tell the cop its not my fault and blame the others.
Some people give the prez way to much power over influence. It i understand considering how much he influences emotions in here.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Ok. Then once again I don't know what you are trying to say. Who were you talking about being out in the streets?

ill use a barfo response.

the state of play in Georgia:



the margin is all the way down to 57,000 votes

there seems to be a lot of confusion about how many ballots are left to count. If you go by the numbers above, there are around 500,000 votes left. But reports are there are only around 200K left. Most of those votes are in and around the cities of Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, and Columbus as well as Daugherty County. These areas have been coming in heavily in favor of Biden. I think it's a bit of a tall order for Biden to pull ahead

Nate Silver: wrote a little about it:

" Georgia. Trump leads by 78,000 votes without around 200,000 votes outstanding (there’s some uncertainty over the exact number). That gap seems like a tall order for Biden to close, but the remaining vote is expected to be very blue: mail votes from blue counties plus some Election Day votes from predominantly Black precincts in blue counties. The Upshot’s needle actually had Biden slightly favored to pull it off as of last night. We’ll know more soon. Let’s say Toss-up, but you could force me into Lean Biden if you told me I had to make a pick."

it's over for the orange buffoon if Biden wins here

For a guy who claims he wants respectful discussion of ideas, you aren't leading by example.

All I'm asking for is for you to explain what you meant - which, in another thread, you berated people for NOT doing.

Don't forget to count those overseas votes.

Star-Spangled Banners transform Adelaide pub where expats gather to watch US election

A downstairs backroom in an Adelaide pub might feel like a long way from Democratic party headquarters but, for a group of American expats, it is the nearest thing to home right now.

As the US election unfolds, a few dozen members of the organisation Democrats Abroad Australia have gathered to either celebrate or commiserate.

Back in 1988 George H. Bush said in a speech "Read My Lips . No New Taxes". He actually tried but in the end ended imposing tax additions because of a compromise to pass a budget.

He was absolutely destroyed for this.

Can you even begin to think if Trump was being held to this standard today where we would be? It's like a whole bunch of people really would vote for him if he did a line of coke and shot someone in Times Square.
I can hear Sean Hannity spin it now. "He was acting in self defense and the man was who sold him the drugs so actually he was cleaning up the streets"

 

[RR7]

okay so what is happening on the streets, a minority of the population pushing for forms of socialism on the majority?

what do you mean by this exactly?

If that happens again,let them know that crazy yank "riverman" is a fan and thank them!

 

[kjironman1]

then find the murderers and arrest them.

They try but the guys doing the shooting wear badges and when they go to court the charges are for endangerment instead of Murder.

The state of play in Pennsylvania:



at one time last night, when I was most depressed, trump's lead was over 700K. It's now down to 265,000. If all those numbers are accurate above, then there are still 1 million votes left, and reportedly, they are all absentee

to this point, this is how Biden has been performing in absentee ballots:



again, if everything is approximately accurate so far, and the absentee ratio stayed the same, Biden would have a 570,000 vote advantage in the remaining vote. Substantial win. Somehow, I just don't think it will be that easy...at all, and those numbers may all be off enough to invalidate all the assumptions

Nate Silver's take:

" Pennsylvania. As expected, far more uncounted votes here than elsewhere, mostly mail votes that should be quite Democratic-leaning, though. There are too many outstanding ballots for us to be in the endgame where we can game out exact scenarios, but in counties that have completed reporting, Biden looks to be hitting the targets he needs. Even with the Trump campaign filing a number of lawsuits, the margin is tightening quickly enough that I think this belongs in Lean Biden."

I still think the odds are less than 50-50, but it would be great if Biden can win one of Penn. or Georgia. Winning both is a tall order, but would be a big fuck you to trump
