Has the usual gang of Trump posters said a syllable today? Asking for a friend.

Biden has his ways but at least he’s trying to unify the country and not divide.

But all these red pollsters kept screaming President Trump is winning.

They don't bring that up

:lol:


Don't think it was tbh. If it was, I feel like Dems would have control of the Senate now.

The decision desk guy just corrected the Fox anchor

She said Fox called AZ with only 1% of the vote in

DDG says where are you getting that from? We made the call at 11:20 with 80% of the vote in.

Now I have to check twitter to see if that 1% rumor is what's floating around by the red folks

Yeah, Biden stole Obama's line from his 2004 Keynote Speech at the DNC Convention today saying, "There's not a red or blue states of America, on The UNITED States of America." :lol:

This time, give me a little more of the Change and a little less of the Hope.

EDIT: Btw, how did trying to unify the country work out for Obama? Not very well as I recall. In fact, I seem to recall Republicans spitting on his Obama's hand - over and over and over again - when he extended it. Republicans should be made to take a knee and not get a pat on the back.

It wasn't a wave for anyone. But they only point out when the non red polls were wrong.

I think the fact that Biden basically stayed in the background hurt our chances of a Blue Wave because he made it solely a referendum on Trump. The only thing Biden is basically offering is a "return to normal." Well, "normal" is what got us to Trump so I'm not really good with "normal." This is what happens when you don't offer anything to entice and energize people to vote for you instead of the other jerk off. It's why progressives next goal is to move on from O'Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi, who both suck ass. The only reason why they are in leadership positions is because they are good fundraisers. Not because they are smart and have great ideas. They aren't and they don't.

Nate Silver margin of error is somewhere around +\- 7%. I wouldn’t do any predicting either if I were him.

There are a ton of things we can be negative about and clearly changes that must be made, but there are some positives as well. Just him winning would something, but we can't be content. We really have so much work to do if we don't want to get crushed in 2022 and 2024. And it will be even harder with no senate.

If Biden wins Georgia I'll suck your **** dick on national teevee.

Lnfao not happening.

I haven't been payin' airy attention at all i knew what was gonna happen and posted it early this mornin' and have been gamblin' ever since without a care in the world. How's it looking Polk is it time to send in the banjo players and have us a hoedown? Some of the folk in here are crazier than a run over dawg. Tell me it's all over but the howlin' like a banshee, is it?

You know what I think about Nate's them thar polls? If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.

I'd imagine some faces tomorra will be red as a pickled beet and they'll feel as hot as a fox in a forest fire. Don'tcha think?

Anyaways...let me play you a little tune and have some fun! How about some duelin' banjos!

Get over it. The majority of those mail in ballots are coming from rural counties who can't support polling sites. This thing is ooooovaaaaa.
:lol: they are going to try and contest PA. I don't think it will matter. Trump will sweep Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin to win. That is the path right now. Still looking very good for us.

There will be a Trump Jr 2024 movement that happens. You just know it.

We can change things in red states if we can swoop in and try and help them with jobs, education, and healthcare. That's everything to rural folk who, otherwise, just want to live in peace in their small communities. If we can make those things tangibly better for them, then we can flip them, I believe. I don't think this is difficult to figure out. The problem is that our legislators are on the take.
