It’s exactly that. None of the cities have come in

Biden is ahead by 300,000 votes in Ohio and 140,000 in PA

ah ok. I was beginning to worry if polls where way off.

Look at you, out on the thickest limb on the tree.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Places like Vermont and Alabama, I understand. I still think it's a bad practice, but I get it. Calling a state when the person you are calling it for is currently noticeably behind is questionable.

Are you asking me like I'm the one who makes these decisions? Most of the time I don't even get to pick the brand of bottled water.

To the question, they have a lot of information going in and the uneven way that precincts report can give false leads. Most of the time they're making those calls based on a preponderance of evidence towards where the state will go and sure, they can wait until it's mathematically impossible for one candidate to lose, but every other news outlet would have scooped you five hours ago and taken all your viewers.

I don't get to pick the wine either.

I understand why they may have called it already. But from an 'optics, we want people to have faith in the results' sort of view, I think it's pretty dumb to call it right now. I expect VA to go blue, but it looks odd to call it when Biden is so far behind at the moment.

Where?
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.




The triumph of the Democracy is essential to the struggle of popular liberty

When you say "good" where are you looking?

I repeat from earlier: all of the cities with exception of Cincinnati are over-half counted.

Rural areas either havent started or under 25% reported.
