Trump vs. Biden

[ceecee]

I think only Fox and AP called it, everyone else has not committed.

Yeah I saw AP 50.5% Biden 48.1% Trump. Martha McSally also goes buh bye.

You might be mostly joking but there were international observers of the OSCE present (as is customary) and the head of the observers happens to be German.

The international observers said there were no irregularities.

Well

thank you Germany.

XD I was completely joking because I see you as one of the most rational users here so that's why I was like

HAVE THE GERMANS DO IT XD

I hate to play with stereotypes (fuck it, I am of mostly german ancestry so I get to make fun of germans) but I bet those were some scary, stern observers.

"Achtung! Vee are here to observe ze polls. Papers? Papers, please."

Black men drifted from Democrats toward Trump in record numbers, polls show

Why did the minorities go Trump more this time??? First it was discussions of the Latinos and now its black men...

Because I listen to a Cuban heavy sports talk radio show every day, I have known about this for a long time. I saw a really good thread on Twitter explaining Cuban support. If I can find it again I will give you the link. I have never seen a reason to why the black male vote - only that there is a shift.

This is the actual quote from the article. It doesn't sound like what "record numbers" implies.

"Eighty percent of Black men supported Joe Biden, down slightly from Hilary Clinton’s 82 percent in 2016 but significantly down from Barack Obama’s level of support among Black men in 2012 and 2008."

We should be hearing from Georgia any time now. Currently, we have 1% of the state's vote left to count, and Trump is just a fraction of a percent ahead of Biden.

It's possible. Don't get your hopes up, though.

I really hate that misleading headline clickbait bullshit. Mostly because it's easy to see the headline and not click on the article and take the headline at face value.

Oh, I doubt Biden is going to win the state. He would have to get a huge portion of the remaining vote.

Nevada will announce results at noon ET

Here is a link to some exit polls. What strikes me is how much the system loves Trump. It's quite sickening. Money and ego-focused stupidity are the shared values at the top in the U.S.

How exit polls shifted in 2016 and 2020

for some trumper rants for you, because my family voted trump besides me although they THINK I voted Trump as well... at least in 2016 it wasn't so bad I could honestly say I voted for Clinton...

My brother: he believes a Biden presidency means we are for sure going back into lockdown, which will destroy the economy and he thinks America will fall due to it. I had to listen to this for hours x.x
My grandfather: He began complaining how NEITHER candidate said anything about the 100,000 troops still in Afghanistan, considering it is becoming like the Vietnam war at this rate. He was surprised how many white women voted against Trump this time and asked me and my mother if we genuinely found him that appalling as white women. My mother said he didn't want a real answer to that. XD He also went on complaining how the media did not pick up any of the coverage on the negatives of Biden as a person (the sexual assault accusation and the Hunter Biden stuff).
My mother: She isn't really a Trump fan, but she doesn't see how Biden is going to fix it. She feels Trump lost supporters because he actually didn't stop the riots and the online censoring like he said he would. She feels they let the "bullies" (aka keyboard warrior SJWs who shut down anyone who disagrees with them) win and she doesn't know what's going to happen. She hopes Biden isn't as bad as she thinks, but she fears the democrats being in complete control of anything right now. She also is upset by the possible mask mandates, since her GAD makes it difficult to wear a mask through a store. But we can't just do online grocery stuff every time, there's price limits and sometimes you have to get that one thing. It was fine before because I would get it but I do worse with the mask than she does.

My hope is since there will be a NATIONAL mandate, they will be required to accept certain exceptions in cases of mental health. I realize that will make some people just use it as an excuse but honestly is the few doing that worth ruining the real problems of the people actually suffering from the issue?

I almost told my grandpa to that "grab'em by the pussy. I don't care it was locker room talk, it was pretty disrespectful as a woman of any color."

So when the Biden 100 day lcokdown magically cures Covid-19, I don't want to hear people bitching they can't get jobs or pay their bills. Remember, Republicans held the senate. Biden's first two years will be crippled. Then if Biden pulls a fascist, he will make masks and enforcement federal. The states will have zero say against it unless the states sue. In which the Supreme court will rule in the states favor. But Biden doesn't have to worry, because he'll have amazingly positive Covid media coverage regardless of what he actually does.

I almost told my grandpa to that "grab'em by the pussy. I don't care it was locker room talk, it was pretty disrespectful as a woman of any color."

And then there are 26 sexual harassment charges filed against Trump for the exact kinds of behaviors he bragged about doing. That goes beyond locker room talk. It is admitting to actions. It is so bizarre that anyone can try to make it into some kind of imaginary banter.

In the exit polls Trump was favored by white women college graduates. It is beyond bizarre, except I think maybe his Barbie Doll focus creates a sense of identity because white women have long been propagandized to feel they should look like a Barbie Doll. He is the Barbie Doll president. I am completely ashamed of every woman who voted for him in this election.

How exit polls shifted in 2016 and 2020

I don't think exit polls are as useful this year (correct?) Due to all the mail voting? Or did they try to compensate somehow?

Oh, I doubt Biden is going to win the state. He would have to get a huge portion of the remaining vote.

If the data is up to date, as of a minute ago it looks like the bulk of remaining ballots favors Biden enough to give him a decent shot to squeak by.

Still, I'm a "wait until the chickens hatch" person...
