The funniest thing in all this is that the Trump Campaign really, really has a good argument that Arizona was called way, way too loving quick. Nah. It's just some rural counties reporting that skew heavy republican. The populous areas aren't done yet, either. The navajo nation just went 73% for Biden, for example.

Maricopa's next batch ain't gonna be great. It looks like this is the late-early vote, heavily Republican. Might not be enough, but yeah, yikes.

Not as bad as I expected! https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1324532790474510337 I think he won the last Maricopa batch by like 19%. That's a sign that the Late-Early (republican) vote might be fading and getting replaced by either in-person absentee or eday, which would be better Democratic. Absolutely shouldn't have been called, but took the wind out of the FRAAAAUUUUUUDDDDD sails. Gotta take the minor victories.

Yeah, Arizona looks like it'll be close but Biden should have enough of a margin to squeak out a win. And regardless, Mark Kelly is running a lot further ahead of Biden and should be safe even if Trump wins the state.

Trump did much better with minorities this election. He also did much better with college educated white women. You know, the Democrats supposed base. He also did better with Republicans then he did in 2016 despite Biden/Harris bending over backwards to get them. There's a reason why the blue wave didn't happen, and its at the top of the ticket.

Democrats did way loving better in the midterm election than in this presidential election. That should not be happening. Meanwhile, Democratic leadership is blaming the spectres of communism and police abolition for their losses.

Platystemon posted:Biden has lead coattails. It's too early to really blame anyone, about anything. Trump was a lead balloon on other republicans, but he also pulled some across. Biden did the same for some (like Peters in Michigan), but didn't for others (like Gideon in Maine). Nobody really knows anything, this election is weird as gently caress. I'm warming to the idea that the economy was really good, people figured COVID was going to be bad no matter what, and it was easy for those 2018 voters to cast protest votes for Democrats, then this time skip Donnie and vote for their favorite Republicans down the ticket, and way more of them turned out. This election will be analyzed for a long, long time to figure out exactly what drove what. Georgia update and I'm suddenly happy: https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1324534164826296323 https://twitter.com/FrankLuntz/status/1324537102566973440 Georgia will go to provisions/military ballots and a recount, but it's still a hilarious buffer in case Arizona goes bad.

I'm really struggling to believe that there is this untapped vein of people who would vote for Karl Marx if he was on the ticket but pulled the lever for Trump instead of Biden. If the claim is that Biden didn't instill enough revolutionary fervor in an electorate looking for a hard left turn, well this election is looking like it will be the highest turnout in American history by a large margin so enthusiasm is clearly not the issue either. I suspect that the issue is really that the Democratic party is actually extremely lovely at conveying any actual platform (progressive or otherwise) to voters other than, "we're not Republicans.". Especially at the local level. ManMythLegend fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Nov 6, 2020 |

Stultus Maximus posted:The midterm election didn't have Trump at the top to get the chuds out. This is my take away too. I think it’s naive to say anything beyond this because Biden flipped a lot of counties he was supposed to, Trump just cut leads in Miami Dade and the like. I think dems should definitely push left, especially in cities, then push worker rights, infrastructure, and health care in conservative areas. I think pushing too far in rural areas works against them, but if they keep it local while still being progressive it can work I think.

McNally posted:Trump's got the second most votes of any presidential candidate in history. Yeah, that's the thing that really complicates matters in trying to figure out where to go from here. With Clinton in 2016, turnout was down from the Obama years, so it was easier to pick apart her campaign and the lack of enthusiasm for her candidacy. But Biden (And most Democrats!) got huge, record breaking turnout that would have swept the election any other year—but Republican turnout was just as high, and even greater in many swing congressional districts. And where Democratic candidates outran Biden, it was often moderates like Mark Kelly in Arizona, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, Steve Bullock in Montana (Who lost, but did so five points ahead of Biden), and so on. There's a lot of info we can't really know until the full election results shake out, but I have a sinking feeling there aren't going to be a lot of good answers as to what to do next. Like, hell, as the numbers currently stand a greater percentage of eligible voters cast their ballots for Biden than voted for FDR during World War II. If those numbers could only produce a narrow, desperate victory, what the hell is the path forward?
