It’s depressing how many on here were posting Twitter links showing how Biden was going to smash Trump, various polls etc. Always never going to happen.

just prey he can get over the line now.

Never, ever base politics predictions from Twitter. It doesn’t represent the silent majority as we’ve seen for the past four years. 2016 US election, Brexit and once again this year. All wrote off on social media.
 
It’s going nearly exactly as I thought it would, unfortunately.

I tried to stop viewing tracking data and analysis last night — as it is pointless to follow the horse race right now — and get a bit of sleep, but had little success.

Will need strong sleep meds to get some rest over the next few days and weeks.

Still hoping I am wrong about how this next period of court challenges, absentee ballot counting, EC certification, and public discourse goes. But Trump is doing exactly what we expected him to do, so there’s not much reason to think the Republicans as a whole (or Trump’s militant supporters) will deviate much from predictions.

It’s going to get messy, as most of us thought it would.

Back to avoiding this thread. Stay safe all!

I didn't realise Trump stood against Johnson.

I can't believe we've reached the point where Trump has claimed victory in an election he's on track to lose, and has told his base that any change is fraudulent, and some users on here are still lecturing us for thinking Trump's worse than any normal candidate.

It is the same pattern every election. A progressive party loses and are told they didn't listen to the working class (like trump obviously does when he gives tax cuts to the rich) and disenfranchised everyone including their traditional voters.

If the democrats picked Bernie and lost they'd have been told that a socialist will never win an election. If they go for a moderate candidate they aren't listening to the people, I'm really not sure what I'm missing and I'm working class myself

It’s not Twitter, it’s every major polling organisation.

The medium it’s displayed on is completely immaterial.

Look at all this impotent rage, all of those words to say:

"You are challenging things I don't want you to challenge so I think that you must support them secretly. It's ok to lie about people I think are bad."

Dave, you're what, 50 odd? This sort of thing isn't good for your blood pressure. All the halfwits here might think that this is some deep analytical takedown but in reality it's a pointless rant from a boomer who doesn't like it when people disagree with him.

I also love the verbiage. "You need telling". Well consider me told by you. And totally ignored, dismissed and mocked.

Ooo look, 23 "halfwits" so far who agree that you're a massive hypocrite, mate. Lots of forum regulars too. Shall I list them?

That's got to hurt a man like you.

I notice that you didn't do your usual attack response of taking the post apart item by item. That's not like you, mate. Are you OK? Or are you just a flat track bully?

I see through you. Looks like everyone else does too.

It's not clear cut but from I've seen Biden is a slight favourite in most of the swing states taking into account postal/absentee votes, so based on probability Biden looks likely, just.
 
Perhaps, just perhaps, blame the DNC for wheeling out cookie cutout offerings, spouting the same tropes of fear and empty rhetoric without actually engaging with people to move to their needs.

Don't pretend to be for working people.

Be for working people and they will back you.

My favourite part of the night was Bigga lecturing the world on how Biden lost the latinx vote as the democrats swept New Mexico, Arizona and all of South Texas.
 
This is going to be so tight if Biden wins, it literally will not be accepted by the Republicans now anyway, it's going to leave the USA in an awful position either way, we thought shit was bad here when Brexit was a tight vote and we don't have half the Country armed and dangerous.

Really? Counting likes?

Bloody hell. Get off the internet, I'm begging you.

I only bother to do this when I feel it's worth the effort. Your desperate call for attention doesn't qualify as you didn't actually say anything worth arguing.

Point still stands Kaz.
Trump doesn’t want Arizona called yet as all votes haven’t been counted. He’s behind there.

However he wants counting stopped in states he’s winning.

Cmon. I’d laugh at how ludicrous it is but you worry that he could get his way. That’s how ludicrous but really is.
