Defenestrategy posted:Alternatively the people "scared into voting trump" where always gonna vote R and would use this as "economic anxiety 2.0" Touché. That said it may have also gotten people who weren’t planning to vote, but eh that’s for a post election deep dive.

If Biden had just said he'd legalize weed he'd be winning in a landslide. Of course he couldn't though, because ???

It's horrifying to me that millions of Americans simply do not inhabit a fact-based reality. Their relatives die around them and they trust the carnival barker because he tells confidently them what they want to hear. Even when it comes out unambiguously from his own mouth that he's lying to them. It's not "oh, these folks have different policy preferences that they've arrived at through well-reasoned thought;" it's, "these folks will trust any loud crank who will cynically feed their fears and worst impulses." This feels like like being at a social event and hearing some slovenly wackjob loudly proclaim he fucks his dog, only for half the crowd to start nodding knowingly and clapping him on the back. These fucks just live in a reality that is completely at odds with mine and they're dangerous.

Like last week, they were saying that Wheezy coming out for Trump would give him like 30% of the black vote????

PA has something like 2+ million mail ballots to count yet. And it will take a long time because they generally don't authorize counting them ahead of election day, because everything is stupid.

 VERY GOOD NEWS HERE https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1323842945368338434 NE-02 is likely Biden and I haven't heard anything changing that, so MI/WI/NE-02 gets him 270. PA ends it and is a bonus.

On top of being really annoying just because of delay and people being anxious, it will open up an avenue 8 miles wide for people of all stripes to develop pet theories and poo poo about ballot counting based on whatever biases they need confirmed. So... neat.

not caring here posted:Wait, all this poo poo is so crazy right now I might have not even bothered paying attention today? I could've been playing Death Stranding? Yeah, though that's basically been the case for about 2 hours. If it wasn't an immediate blowout, it was always pretty likely to just take a long time such that there's little to lose by loving off other than that you might miss some weird meltdowns or something.

Looks like more good news! https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1323849023216865282 This is one of the electoral votes that would put Biden at 270, if he takes WI/MI, loses PA, and AZ holds where it is. NE-02 would give him 271, which is expected.

Didn't Trump want to just "call it" if he gets close and then use the courts to stop the counting or something, idk? I'm gonna drive up to my parents to switch to my winter tires, and then back to Munich, so I'm giving myself 5-6 hours of respite from this shitshow.

I think the state legislatures would have to consent to stopping the count and also survive a court challenge from tbe biden team upon doing so so it's not as simple as just "calling it" as far as I'm aware.

Duzzy Funlop posted:But isn't that the issue? It doesn't really work that way. If the state has possession of the ballot, whether by mail absentee or in-person voting, it counts, period, the end. Donnie can't do poo poo about it. This is what has everyone freaked the gently caress out if Donnie tries to attack them - but he has no legal standing on it. Like literally zero. It's not a thing and won't happen. Several states have laws that mail ballots postmarked on election day (in other words, in the mail system), count if they get there within 3-7 days. Donnie is trying to gently caress with that, but he's not getting anywhere when it's written into state law. He's had success when it's just a pandemic measure done by the state executive. Several states also have procedures to "cure" mailed ballots - like ballots missing a secrecy sleeve, or a bad mismatched signature. Donnie's fighting that too and it's up in the air because it hasn't been hosed with before. Right now, there's no "recount" to stop.
