I don't know who that is and unless you want to pitch my caring, I don't. Twitter is the land of garbage.

I think there are whackjobs, and I think some may act out. I'm not looking forward to that, nor I am looking forward to the reaction.

Fox is swinging on the President like we practically knew it would. I don't care what quaddiechanners think either.

Are they going to report more tonight? Can we wake up and be done with this and all have a nice weekend?
They think they might finish the main vote count tonight.

They will still have military ballots and provisional ballots after that. There are about 9k military ballots, unsure how many provisional ballots.

He wrote a biography of Miliband? Might have to track it down to see what he says about the Edstone.
 
Apparently Trump's lead here in Georgia is down to 1,902 votes. Trump and Biden both have 49.4%

Purdue is down to 49.9%, barely missing the majority needed to avoid a runoff. We're going to have runoff elections for both senate races.

We are counting on you to tell your parents the election already happened so they don't need to send in a ballot.

Trump Jr. has 'plausible deniability that he's just speaking rhetorically about lawsuits, et al. Eye of the Beholder.

Bannon is literally talking executions, like in the old days.
It's a one minute clip.


Just building context. I think of you as one of the sane ones!
 
Biden only has to take 56% of the remaining votes in GA to win. He's been pulling in 66-84% with each batch of votes.
 
Bannon is an idiot. Why would I be surprised by Bannon. I think the risk of whackjobs is real. I still don't care about who the dude on twitface is.
 
BTW if all these states do come in that makes it much harder to do a judicial coup or a state legislature electoral college coup because they have to do it in multiple states

I linked the bio so you knew he was not jsut a twitface. Its a serious journalist with a good reputation.

I mean if he breaks over 300 it will make it much harder I would imagine, but inevitably it will be seen as a coup on the right. Despite what the more rational of their number say.
 
The Democratic Senate candidate in Alaska claims he's on a path to win. They've only tallied 44.6% of the vote and none of that was mail ins. Hes projecting a very high amount of Democratic margin of the mail in ballots on zero data, but its not mathematically impossible.
@Hamid.H and @Kyriakos the above would also explain why no one is calling AK. Trump may not actually be pulling in the margins he needs to be assured victory there and they see it in the data.

Ok, so he's a journalist. I think the odds that some jackasses are trying to intimidate our poll workers is real/happening/high. That's "duh" territory. You didn't expect that? I did, and do. Our old ladies are badass. I'm waiting for one of them to go shooting(not the old ladies, but then again depending on the state(I wouldn't count GA out for one)). I'm not looking forward to it. I still don't care about a tweet when the institutions are holding and showing every sign thus far of not caring that the assclown is continuing to embarrass us. Again, like we knew he would.
 
Anyway in terms of bad takes, it looks like Biden is doing well in Minnesota (epicentre of George Floyd protests among others), and in Oregon (Portland protests). He also seems to be doing about the same in Kenosha.

So it seems that the civil unrest doesn't seem to be hurting Democrats where it actually happens. Thought maybe it did push some, far away from it, who only see the lurid tall tails on news media and freak the hell out.

Kinda of like immigration. The people where immigrants go, remain pro immigrant. But you have people living in depressed areas in west Virginia, who are piss terrified of immigrants. Even thought they don't know any, and immigrants don't want to go there anyway.
 
Shove your ****hole talk.

yea I agree with all that, but its important to note teh encouragement is happening. Its been important to note all of it for the last four years. The GOP might be able to look the other way now but in 5 years? 10 years? Its important to note all this for history if for no other reason.
 
Witnessed, then.
 
Listening to one of Biden's 'be calm' speeches. He expresses gratitude that the number of votes is so high. Now that the voting is over, I wonder if a nod of "and thanks to everyone who voted for someone else, without your votes we couldn't have had one of the highest participation rates of modern history." And then "woo., Democracy!"
