    What's to explain? Biden will most likely have a large victory in the popular vote and a small victory in the electoral college. That seems to me to be within the range of what the polls were saying. Trump has done somewhat better than expected - easily explained by the "shy Trump voter" effect.
    There are probably only a handful of places like Florida where the polls were further out.

    That's it. If Biden holds his leads in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan, he's past 270. PA, NC, and GA won't matter.

    GA is still in play. I'm making the rounds. Mayhem may ensue.

    Biden has a slight lead in Michigan, so Republicans are descending on Detroit to invent spurious excuses to challenge every single absentee ballot one at a time.

    Pretty sure he has Arizona locked up. I believe with 84% of polls reporting, Biden's lead is large enough that Trump simply can't catch up.

    So is there anyone left who still wonders why the Republicans were rushing to stack the Supreme Court?

    If Trump loses, he'll probably run again in 24.

    Maybe it's better to let the fucker have his second term. Start focusing on the midterms.

    Not that it matters, I guess. The Dems can organize all they want, but the Bible and Rust Belt aren't going blue.

    Biden so far has gotten more votes than Obama did in 08 or 12

    No matter who wins it is all the progressive's fault. Blame Bernie, for all your mistakes and all the little sheep will keep on sheeping. No reason to change the system or put in someone who is actually different. I am sure no matter who wins all our problems are over.

    You idiot.

    The problem isn't Trump or Biden or Bernie or the latino voters or the black voters or the urban voters.

    It's the 65+ million Americans who are stupid enough to think the current state of affairs is just swell.

    No, I'm pretty comfortable blaming the voters who can look at Donald Trump and say, 'yeah, he's doing great! Let's give him another term!"

    The liberal circular firing squad can wait.

    If that's true, why were people in my hometown Dennys celebrating the fact that Trump would kick all the spics out the night after the last election? :chris:

    There are far more Latinos than not that were born here legally and bigots don't tend to check IDs and papers before telling them to go back to Mexico or PR (which is ..yanno, part of the US) or to "talk English." :marathon:

    What are we going to do about that?All of the solutions for that are on the evil side. Those people are here and exist. Complaining is nice and all, but what is the solution?

    We all wanted to hope there were a lot of confused people out there who just did not know what they were doing. We just got told that there are 65 million + people who are that fucking stupid and god awful.

    No. What I wanted to hope was that rational adults could look at the last four years--particularly 2020--and say, damn, this guy needs to go. But.

    Do you realize these people are everywhere in america? Even in blue areas there are a ton of these people. This is society as it is. We are on a little speck of dust with a delicate atmosphere that we cannot escape from. Stupid, violence, and prejudice is a naturally occurring function of the species. You cannot get rid of it because it is in our nature.


    This is the result.

    Well we'd have to rearrange the furniture a bit. The Republicans can take the South and the big square states in the middle. Democrats can have the coasts and maybe Illinois.

    Texas can be its own thing.
