Because DC isn't a state

Ok so DC isnt a state. The people who live in DC dont get to vote?

They vote in the Presidential election. DC has the same number of electoral college votes as the state with the smallest population.

In Congress (I think) DC has a single delegate who doesn't get to vote on motions on the floor of the House.

They have no representation in the Senate.

Many in the US have forgotten or never known that we are not a Christian nation.

This is true, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t feel like we are. They manage to hold up so much meaningful progress with their regressive bull****. I mean, thanks to them, it’s 2020 and there is still substantive debate taking place as to whether women and LGBT are deserving of equal rights. And of course, by substantive debate, I mean cases about to be ruled on by a Supreme Court who almost certainly thinks they aren’t.

I don't care if they have the Senate at 50/50 and Biden gets in by 1 vote in each state, that would be beyond massive.

Why on earth has that been allowed to happen?

It's a historic thing. I'm sure others can clarify this, but I think DC was initially intended to be solely the seat of the federal government, and not to necessarily evolve into the pretty big city with a population that exceeds several states...

Thank you GOP for allowing McSally to turn AZ blue. Has to be a record losing both senate seats in consecutive elections by one candidate.

What’s the reason for such optimism? Looks like 60% counted and almost 30% spread. That’s a pretty darn big ask.

Donald Trump's malignant spell could soon be broken | Jonathan Freedland

Joe Biden has swept the popular vote, and is on the verge of claiming the electoral college. It’s a momentous achievement

I hope if he loses by 30 points he also claims fraud...but in an ironic way

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Its not trump, smile
None of the South will vote for Biden

EDIT: Im sure some people will vote Biden but he will not win any states in the South. Just for all you smarts As

Think the whole Trump family will be indicted on NY. Letitia James has bern gunning for him for a while.
