2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

[Lamoni]

"Stuart" and "Montrose" should have given that away.

They are Americans. History like geography is unknown to them.

*** Warning for Trolling ***

[San Lumen]

Polls are now closed in Massachusetts.

Kennedy and Markey will be the big one to watch for. Markey will probably win due to a recent surge in support. Currently Markey leads Kennedy 51.3% to 48.7%

I think markey probably wins. Kennedy hasn’t given a good reason for why he should be elected over the incumbent

[Borderlands of Rojava]

Nice that it is actually that high, looks like right wing billionaires have a lot more astroturfing to do amongst younger people.

Is that the new boogeyman?

The boogeyman isn't real. Right wing billionaires like the Koch Brothers are.

Tough to say but I do see it's close. Kennedy currently leads 50.7% to 49.3%. It's going to be a tight race, and if Kennedy prevails, that will put a damper on progressives chances on future elections potentially.

Why would it put a damper on future elections?

I don't think it would myself, particularly if it's a close loss, which it will be for either side.

[Major-Tom]

Let's go Ed!

I don't think it would myself, particularly if it's a close loss, which it will be for either side.

Hopefully we know the outcomes tonight along with the same on election night

I hope Kennedy does not win. I'm honestly tired of the Kennedy family and view them as the descendants of 1960s Barack Obama. If you dont think Kennedy was alot like Obama, consider the fact that:

•He was the first Irish catholic president.
•He actually liked war
•People romanticize his presidency when in reality he was actually kind of a sleazebag
•Liberal boomers talk about John Kennedy every 5 minutes

[Valrifell]

Oh Markey wrote the Senate version of the GND?

Yes, him please.

[Valrifell]

So I heard you liked election maps...

Kennedy singlehandedly managed to stop the Cold War going nuclear on not one but two occasions…

[Borderlands of Rojava]

For a second I thought it was a hypothetical town by town map of the entire 2020 United States election.

[San Lumen]

So I heard you liked election maps...

Kennedy seems to be doing well in municipalities where there is a large non white population

Fuck, I wish.

He, along with Khrushchev, helped push it to the brink both of those two times.

heh.

Man, MA has some British town names.

[San Lumen]

Man, MA has some British town names.

Well Massachusetts was settling by immigrants from England and often named towns after where they were from. Boston for example is named for the town in England

Meanwhile Michigan's towns are named after Native American stuff and Finns.

(That and a gaffe calling out Markey for not visiting towns that haven't existed since 1938).

Tough to say but I do see it's close. Kennedy currently leads 50.7% to 49.3%. It's going to be a tight race, and if Kennedy prevails, that will put a damper on progressives chances on future elections potentially.

Why would it put a damper on future elections?

Well, I did say potentially but I should have phrased it differently: it would hurt them in the immediate future. But there's a big worry among progressive groups there that Kennedy could be in the Senate for decades given he's young (39) and well, his name says it all. Progressives are hoping that Markey runs this one last time and then they can field another Progressive that's a woman of color; Kennedy winning could take that away from them in the Senate.

Either way, Markey leads right now 50.8% to 49.2%.

I don't think it would myself, particularly if it's a close loss, which it will be for either side.

Hopefully we know the outcomes tonight along with the same on election night

The latter is unlikely if I'm being honest: that's just wishful thinking right there. That being said, if Biden can hold a decent lead into the end of the night on Election Day, I think he'll be in a good position then. Otherwise, we're going to be waiting, and perhaps a bit too.

Yes, but in my experience states will throw in something named after a native tribe or something. I did a quick hover-over of most of the map and it's kinda funny.

and that gives Trump and Republicans fodder to claim fraud

[Post War America]

Man, MA has some British town names.

I mean, it was settled by a bunch of British Puritans. Its part of the reason Massachusetts people have a reputation for being unfriendly in fact.
