Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

538 just babbling nonsense now

As I’m watching us go back and forth about the Electoral College, and seeing all this energy going into counting and calling different states, it also occurs to me how much energy the debates over electoral machinery distract from discussion of actual substantive issues that affect people. Maybe it’s just late, but this feels unsustainable.

honey, what bubble are you living in?

This is by far the most sensible thing 538 has said in years

It is actually kind of amazing that Texas hasn’t been called.

Should have done already mate. Slept between 00 and 05 feeling refreshed. European folks, go to sleep, I take over, will deliver a Biden presidency no problem. Coffee at hand.

How about American/Colombian folks?

And Florida. That seems to have been nailed on for Trump for hours now

 

[ChesterBlue]

Possibly, though I generally see the Tories as incompetent as your average Disney villain, while I see Trump as more of a psychopathic toddler.

Boris and Cummings are a bit like [Poor language removed] Dastardly from Wacky Races (minus any likability or charisma), while Trump is like Joffrey from Games of thrones,

@mods can I clarify that was a a fictional character from a children’s cartoon’s name, and not a legit swear?

Going to stay up for Biden's statement which I assume will just be him saying it's not over. But I've come this far

It isn’t the end destination but the friends we made along the way

 

[ashwuk76]

STOP IT THOUGH

 

[Wizard]

STOP IT THOUGH

Won't believe it until it's official. And who knows how long the tangerine baby will drag it out given how close it seems as though it might be

In PA, only 670K absentee ballots have been counted. There were 2.5mil returned. The absentee ballots counted so far broke for Biden 71.7% and 21.3% for Trump. If this were to hold, among the 1.83mil ballots still uncounted, Biden would gain 922K votes. Biden currently trail Trump by 420K votes.

This is far from over. It’s just beginning.
