2020 Presidential Election Thread: The Homestretch

[Pointgod]

If you follow right wing twitter you’d understand why people like BallSacBounce exist. They’re steadily fed with a tornado of misinformation and bull ****. In their world literally everything Trump does is great, there’s going to be some great Trump turnout the last day of the election, covid doesn’t exist etc. They’ll never acknowledge that the entire right wing media is all a grift to get money and politically protect Republican donors. It’s scary the propaganda that comes not only from disreputable sources, but official GOP sources.

And the irony is these are the people, Qidiots and internal GOP lunatics alike, who are killing the GOP.

We're seeing that a significant number of lifelong Republicans are not on board with this derp state fantasy world and they are abandoning the party this election.

So all of these loons who chirp whatever absurb trash they are fed are accelerating the demise of the party they ostensibly belong to. They are the fungus eating the centipede and pretty soon they may be inhabiting the lifeless husk of a political party they consumed from within and find out they are not only very much a minority, but also increasingly seen by other Americans as a national embarrassment.

Since these people are at this point basically psychotic and devoid of the emotion of shame, I expect the most rabid ones to be incapable of the introspection to understand what they did to themselves. And what that means is a faction of Americans will internalize their loss and marginalization as PROOF they were right, that they and Trump are the victims of the derp state and they will radicalize further. But at that point they will increasingly lack political representation and will implode into actual insanity or terrorism.

But this Trump era will not reflect well on any of them and if the GOP caters to this lunatic element past this election it will usher in the actual collapse of the whole Republican party. If there is a distancing within the GOP from these Trump extremists they may survive as a party. We'll have to see how they play it after this November, but clearly they are losing bigly this time based on hitching their fortunes to the biggest piece of human trash America has ever elected to high office.

If Biden wins and the Republicans lose big, you will be seeing a lot of people suddenly have amnesia about voting for Trump. Not only will I be keeping names, but I will be throwing it back in their faces if they decide to claim this mess was never theirs (or his) and it was always the Democrats.

It really is a stupid annoying cycle. Republicans create many policies that destroy the economy or the environment and then the Democrats try to create policies to try to clean things up. But they (Democrats) don't have enough time for many of those policies to fully implement and people cry and complain that we need change and around and around we go. It's just ridiculous.

It’s because of the middle of the road voters that want to always play the both sides are bad. The truth is that partisanship isn’t a bad thing, rather Republican partisanship is a horrible thing because they’ve let the most extreme right wing crazies become mainstream of their party. And the middle of the road voters don’t want to do the right thing and give long term power to the Dems, but they complain they haven’t fixed all of America’s problems in one term. Democrats rebuild, Republicans destroy but for some reasons America develops collective amnesia every 4 years and believe “Maybe this time will be different”

[Pointgod]

It's like that every time BallSacBounce shows up. You know they're going to post nothing but lies and BS. Plus boasts of imminent doom for Biden. These people are ridiculous

Oh, and sometimes, like yesterday where they admitted they don't give a chit about the dead so far, they slip and show their full unmitigated true self which is truly ugly and mendacious. In their heart of hearts, we are all just collateral in their war. They don't care if any of us live or die as long as they get to have Trump in office

Hopefully the GOP as we currently know it is burned to ashes and something else comes out that takes their job governing as a sacred oath. In the meantime Democrats need to do as much good with the power that they have if they control all three branches of government.

Trump is so desperate for funding he's throwing everyone else in the GOP under the bus now saying it is a waste of money to donate to them because they are going to lose anyway

If this doesn't tell you that the only reason Trump wants to stay in the WH is to avoid prosecution you've got rocks in your head. He gives zero fux about the survival of the GOP itself, only himself

No surprise there

He does the same thing with policy that he does with party loyalty - it changes at his whim, usually determined by what most strokes his ego or puts money in his pocket.

This is correct, but please don't forget two other very serious reasons why trolls exist:
1. They just enjoy the excitement of causing chaos or troubling people who really care about their country
2. They are part of an agenda, often promoted and compensated by a foreign country, to sew doubt and dissention with the purpose of weakening the US.

But of course, the reason you said is a big one.Many just want to selfishly remake the country in a way that benefits themselves and a small number of fellow believers in their in their hatred and venom towards all who don't accept their supremecy over us. The behavior of trolls on RealGM has certainly done nothing but lend credence to this.

“A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown. The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature.”

Anyone without the need to defend this administration saw this coming. Not only did they fail in their approach and response, but now they’re not even trying pretend to put up a fight. It’s over.

My guess? They always knew the pandemic has always worked agains them, but they think Biden pushing renewables will be a stronger reason to vote for them, so they don’t have to lie anymore and act like they’ve handled the pandemic well.

[Kampuchea]

What are the target dates for the election results? I read that states will have different dates based on mail-in rules, PA could take a week or so. Using PA as a barometer I would say we know by November 11th?

https://www.publicsource.org/pa-election-expectations-voting-vote-count-delay/

Experts were hesitant to say exactly when results might be available but were confident that Pennsylvania counties would meet the Nov. 23 state deadline for all counties to finish counting and reporting votes.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said during an Oct. 16 press conference that she fully expects to have the “overwhelming majority” of votes tallied “in a matter of days.”

Scott Seebor, the Pennsylvania state director for voting advocacy organization All Voting is Local, agreed. “I think that Pennsylvania is on track to be able to have a count within, I would say, safely, seven days of the election,” he said.

Suzanne Almeida, interim director of Common Cause Pennsylvania declined to specify a date because she did not want to risk giving an inaccurate prediction. But she said she thought counties took lessons from the June 2 primary to be more efficient in processing mail-in ballots.

These creeps have no policies to offer the nation, just utterly childish Antifa/Burisma BS to distract from the pandemic that is now mutating and growing

Many states will be easy to project the winner on election night based on the existing spread vs. remaining votes to be counted.

But the technical reality is we may have an official tally of results sanctioned by each state for up to a week. Considering how it is likely Biden will decisively win in the majority of swing states, most media outlets will be able to accurately assess the winner late in the evening on November 3rd.

I don't think there will be any doubt who won on election night. It will only be a matter of fully certifying results in the following few days.

Some states allow for several days after election day for mail ballots to arrive as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3, but those will be too small a number to affect the outcome in any way.

We'll know that Biden won on November 3rd and that's what matters in terms of Trump trying to claim fraud. He won't get very far claiming fraud when he loses Georgia and now possibly Texas.

That would be great. I am fearful of a delay in some swing states where we are left wondering, which would be nervewracking. My stress level would decrease significantly if we have news of a Trump loss straight away.


They just had Trump Truck Parade where I live. It was a nuisance with traffic and hundreds of trucks blaring horns. "Silent Majority" doesn't really seem fitting to me, perhaps Obnoxious Minority.

You probably don't have to worry about WI or MI and I believe PA will also be much easier to call than some think

IMO, the suspense will mostly pivot around FL and AZ. If either of those produce margins of greater than 2% for Biden then there will be absolutely nothing Trump can do to pull a rabbit out of the hat

Plus, GA and TX. If TX does more than 2% for Biden then it won't even matter what happens in FL or AZ

Trump can't win the election without FL so as it often does, most of the suspense will be over FL. This time though, I think the margin for Biden will be pretty significant, like 4-6% in FL so it may turn out to be a non-event

I see Biden getting an electoral landslide over 300, not just a dominant popular vote margin

As far as Trump supporters and their clown cars, in FL they are more visible, but those are the lunatics. The rank and file GOP voters are not turning out thus far, so all the ruckus in the world does not = an advantage. Cult45 is loud and obnoxious, but they are not a majority
