They gave Biden AZ on Tuesday.

OAN is the station that’s insane and literally a Trump cult station.

They ignored whenever Biden won a state and all their talking about now is voter fraud lol


almost want to watch it out of morbid curiosity and salt mining

Record turnout AND President Trump came close to breaking it to. Notice how these MAGAland folks always leave that part out.

Context is the enemy of MAGAland.

It seems as if guys like Cruz and Rubio who Trump **** on have taken on his personality thinking it would help their careers


It is officially the Trump party. Laura called it on her show and seeing all of them bend the knee as POTUS decides to bash elections and circumvent the will of the people, proves it IMO.

Let's see if anyone in the MSM besides Maddow now gets off their lazy asses and starts to unpack Trump's crimes and treason for real and start reporting consistently and in-depth without dropping the ball like ADHD News Cycle Rabbits on his date with prison.

I’ve strictly watched them for election coverage to see how bad it is.

Honestly, Brier & Martha lean right but are not full blown cult. Juan Williams has been preaching logic. The guy at the board hasn’t seemed culty either. Their decision desk deserve a raise for being questioned this much. I might quit if they’re not going to let you do your job

Hopefully, we can get more Stacey Abrams types in other areas. She really did her thing in GA.


I've never lived in the South, nor midwest... what messaging do you think breaks through? It seemed like there was a Sanders/Trump crossover for those that were protectionist but not necessarily racists. I also think M4A could be packaged well more universally. But I think it's a fundamentally different message than the one that the Dems currently have that gets it done. I.e. it's not the hat, it's the bull. And I don't want the authoritarianism or supremacy/xenophobia messaging to seep in either.


I’m from the south. Obama won Florida twice. Ohio twice. North Carolina. Iowa. Indiana. There are some states that have been given up on that can actually be in play. But message has to be one that inspires hope and change but it has to be more than just platitudes because people are sick of that too. Get that yes we can mindset back except this time actually do it when you get a chance. Let’s get a black led multi racial movement that actually fights for the working class. Can’t just be one or the other


While I'm dispirited by the amount of support the GOP still has, I do think a New Black South could set this country straight once and for all if the will to organize is there. So there's reason for hope and perhaps optimism.

That said, the level of bigotry that Trump channeled was hopefully a one-off, but I think it was also a very delicate situation competition wise and I do think Biden punched the correct buttons to ensure no loss of support while pulling enough of Trump's support to make a big difference.

I think Biden will be seen historically as a needed pivot point that can and should serve as the reset point towards reformulating the Democratic party. People say he was not their candidate, but I think in hindsight I believe many of us will being to acknowledge he may have been the correct candidate to beat Trump and there is no way to discount the value of that.

The major network cowardice here is startling. The math is showing that you can call PA and NV now. There is no path back for Trump there.

It's like they are all trying to force Fox's hand, but Fox can't do it now either :lol:


Apparently there are a bunch of provisional ballots in Pennsylvania and Nevada that are breaking for Trump. And there’s a large amount of those. I think that they’re just waiting to fully work through the rest of the non provisional ballots before calling the race

I'm guessing you saw the Kornacki explanation....

When Biden is declared the winner here in the next little bit I'm not going to rub it in on you even though you would have done so to us and totally deserve the mockery. Plus it's true that you, I, and others who didn't trust the polls or Nate Bronze were ultimately proven correct. I will say you might want to at least consider the idea that you are isolated, isolated in echo chambers of partisan propaganda through various far right websites that masquerade as news that may have heavily distorted your lens of reality, I mean just consider it. In fact I doubt you would have come back if you didn't read some kind of dose of hopium that told you Trump was still going to win the election by winning Arizona along with a bunch of lawsuits but maybe that dose is wearing off as it's becoming clear that's likely not going to be the case. But anyway I just hope you didn't lose a bunch of money betting on it, that would suck.


Fuuuck that! This thread has treated BallSac with kid gloves despite the vitriol and personal insults he threw at a lot of posters. I’m not going to be vicious but I’m going to have a lot of fun with him because I’m sure BallSac believes what he reads but I’ve told him numerous times that his sources are purposely misleading and misinformation. I’ve even cited conservative sources that are legitimate news but he refused to listen and stayed stubborn till the end


To further your point is this thread offered them a great opportunity to educate themselves, because there were numerous posters who are more civil than I am and more tolerant who took the time and effort to patiently counter their misinformation.

And what did it result in? More BS, More disinfo, More lies, More gloating, More trolling

The guy had a golden opportunity to humanize themselves and instead they chose to use this board as a dumping ground for his undigested propagandistic slop posted in bad faith in support of a monster.

So there is no leeway left to excuse them for being a blind follower who believes the crap flowing out the Breitbarts of the world. They had every opportunity to fact check and recalibrate and they instead chose to promote white power.

They were given too much leniency IMO, but because they were I also saw the mods were leaving it to other posters to lay down the truth so I did that along with some others.

There's no excuse for them. They don't deserve a lick of empathy at this point.

And as I mentioned, we simply need people to tell others that politics start on the local level. Vote for the state reps in your neighborhood for the change you want. Vote for the bills that could make marijuana legal in every state for example. We need to message better that you don't just go to vote every four years. Every election matters.


I think this is ultimately one of my favorite messages. The president is a figure head for the most part. Local officials and reps are the most important and people need to hold them accountable and vote for people that will make a difference whichever side of the fence you are on.


I suggest you think more deeply about it. A president is vastly more than that.
