Politics US Election 2020

Projected map even if Trump took Pennsylvania, Biden only needs Michigan, Arizona and Nevada

"Mitch McConnell and Trump ally Lindsey Graham were re-elected."

It is no wonder considering the states they represent but I detest these two pug faced shitbags.

Hate Lindsey Graham with passion, he's such a slimey fuckbag.

Not a single UK constituency would vote for Donald Trump: Poll

Three-quarters of British voters would back Joe Biden if they could vote in Tuesday’s US election.

If he loses, he'll landslide in 2024.

Former convicts can't run for president. And if he lose now he will go to prison.

It would be lovely but I am not sure it will happen.

264 - 214 now. Biden has Michigan. Six votes to go, Nevada will get him the majority he needs but he might take Pennsylvania as well.

Donald's over there claiming states, like that's how it works.

While the president indulged his victory fantasy, Democrats had a night of part hope, part soul-searching

Susan Collins in Maine as well, who famously said she was sure Trump would learn his lesson as she voted to not convict him after he was impeached.

Trump still on Twitter claiming he's winning. Pretty sad sight really, clearly setting the groundwork for a legal battle that he was robbed.

264 - 214, this is over. Hello President Biden.

The world will be a quieter kinder place without Trumps presidential tweets and venomous speeches.

Maricopa in Arizona possibly declaring in the next 30 minutes, think it is the last county to count.

 

[Raven]

The man is a desperate, narcissistic lunatic. He will try literally anything over the next week to hold on to power.

 

[Scouse]

Only three million votes in it out of, what, 140 million cast.

He may be a cunt, but you can't ignore what he's selling is a thing.

Joe Biden nearer to threshold for victory but race still too close to call - as it happened

Biden’s Michigan win, with 16 electoral votes, further narrows Trump’s path to victory

No it's not a thing at all. You believe there has been voter fraud so that Biden wins?

Trouble is, as with Brexit, there can't be a partial result to a 50/50 choice, you can't win a bit. What it should do though is make Biden and the left actually engage with voters that voted for Trump, rather than just labelling them as "deplorable" and see if they can find a common ground. Not everyone that voted for Trump is a right wing nutjob, not everyone that voted for Brexit was a right wing nutjob. The problem is that things are so polarised at the moment that everyone that disagrees with anyone is labelled the enemy.

It's pretty much why pollsters have got pretty much every election in the last 10-15 years completely wrong. For every slack jawed yokel openly saying they will vote for Trump (or Brexit!) there will be 2 just saying they will vote for the left to avoid a screaming loon having a pop at them, then vote however they like at the ballot, most are pretty middle of the road socially, politically and economically.

I don' t think that's what @Scouse meant. Trump has actually polled more votes than he did in 2016. He is not an aberration that, if he loses, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and say "normal service has been resumed", his rhetoric and political message is going to be around for the foreseeable future even if he's not the one delivering it. Which is depressing as fuck.

oh of course yes without a doubt.

He will be at least the candidate with 3rd highest number of votes, possibly 2nd if he can pip Obamas 69.5ish million votes from 2008

It still amuses me when people talk about Joe Biden as "the left".

To be honest the thing I simply can't understand about Trump support isn't to do with his politics, its simply that he's demonstrably bad at his job when tested. On the economy he's done nothing that wasn't going to happen anyway (seriously, none of his initiatives, such as they are, have created jobs, the most generous thing you can say is he's largely gotten out of the way), so his one true test was COVID and he epically fucked it up. He didn't even do any of the morally reprehensible things well.

It's completely baffling. At least in 2016 you could be excuse for thinking "you never know, he might be ok" but now we have a baseline - he's a demonstrably awful President and a petulant, spiteful, narcissistic piece of shit. It's deeply troubling that near enough half of the voting population genuinely think he's worth putting in charge for another 4 years.
