Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[Tubey]

The early Kentucky and Indiana county votes show a narrowing of the margins Trump had over Clinton in those red states 4 years ago.

Could be significant.

At this point, Trump winning would be a bigger shock than 2016.

For me the bigger question now is whether it's an absolute pasting or not. I really hope it is.

Lol. My new cat's name is Willie

That is going to make asking for pictures of him rather awkward....

I’d settle for a Socks pic though - or anybody’s cat right about now as feeling a tad stressed!

Big business will be buzzing another patsy they can use to do their bidding

It's absolutely amazing how Trump managed to convince people he's about the "common man".

He's almost uniquely about big business mate. He is big business. He's gave tax breaks all over the shop. He couldn't give the slightest toss about those on low incomes beyond how he can exploit them.

Trump's team claiming it is a "tight race".

Doesn't sound like a red wave.

I'll just take 270 at this stage. More if possible.

The prospect of this fascist letting rip for another 4 years is not worth thinking about.

Much harder work and I'm fantastically lazy.

I love dogs like, always had one growing up.

Ha

In other words you don't like clearing up their mess. Your cats can just use next doors garden as a toilet.

They said it was a Republican landslide last night.

Both housecats. Couldn't risk them getting hurt outside. Would never let a cat or dog out alone personally.

Socks lives at home with my mum now, we didn't want to uproot her when we bought the new house and my mum treats her like a monarch.

I'll PM you a picture of my Willie now

Jesus Christ...

in Florida:

Who would better handle the Coronavirus?

Trump 47%
Biden 48%

SERIOUSLY?!

It's not as bad as you think. It suggests to me Biden narrowly wins, which is sort of the way it looks. It was never going to be a big win.

Haven't paid too much attention to this election, but suddenly my anxiety levels have just skyrocketed.

I dont like the term uneducated voters.

Someone's education is not the main factor behind their political opinion. Its a bit insulting to say people had a lack of education and were basically tricked

And labour lost those seats because the labour leadership didn't listen to them and took them for granted.

In the USA in this context we're more likely to hear the voters referred to as being with or without college degrees (i.e., "higher education") rather than the much vaguer educated vs uneducated. People who lack college degrees aren't idiots, obviously, yet the matter of college is probably the single clearest distinction between those who support Trump and those who don't.

Go to bed BB. Your anxiety is making me anxious

I'll do you a deal - you get them to call Florida for Biden, and I'll go to bed.

Apparently going by race this is the Vote percentage....

Anyone got any links to CNN, MSNBC streams etc ? Rather watch them than BBC
