2020 US General Election Thread X: For Those About to Vote

[Bombadil]

I'm not even suggesting that. I'm merely saying he'll do everything possible to stay in office regardless of the vote. Though he does have form in this. In 2012 he explicitly called for a revolution when he thought Romney had more votes than Obama as Western state votes hadn't been tallied.

He wasn’t president then. Now that he is making comments like that is very dangerous.

Stand down and stand by.

Trump apologists: "He was making a joke!"

You guys haven't noticed all the lootings, burnings and violence in Democrat run cities with Democrat Mayors, being blamed on President Trump, by Democrat VP Biden, Democrats and many Democrat Biden supporters, to whatever extent they support them? of course not by all of them. GMS.

Thread locked pending trawl. We appreciate your patience.

Take the unofficial warning for trolling I'm handing out to you as a reminder to cool those jets down. Now.

The same goes for everyone else: I understand that the Elections are mere days away, but that give no one a license to stir shit. Perhaps it would be best to cool down and disengage the moment things look like they're about to heat up.

Thread unlocked. Apologies, forgot to lock beforehand. Doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Here's my new prediction:

As a result of new data from 538, Montana has been changed from red to up-for-grabs.

That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

Considering Obama nearly won Montana in 2008 and Clinton won it 1992, it's not as shocking as you'd expect.

I'm being tongue-in-cheek, but I mean, I just don't see it. Obama took Indiana in '08, etc etc, I think that even though the polls are tighter in MT there just simply aren't enough liberal-leaning/independent voters to bring it within a close margin.

"I have basically no idea what will happen" isn't really a prediction

It's the most honest prediction. Frankly, the map is still informative, as it shows some states as being oddly almost completely unwinnable, like Virginia, which is shocking.

[Eukaryotic Cells]

Good tip from Nate Silver for staying sane during election night: Don't start looking seriously at states until counties are at 100% reporting or the entire state is at 100% reporting.

It's not a prediction at all if it doesn't even get close to predicting the outcome. You've just colored in states in a way that it's almost impossible that you'll be proven wrong.

If I did a map with all fawn-coloured states (and DC) then there's literally 0% chance of me being wrong. Would that make my "prediction" better than yours?

Watch the Video, At least 15 Black American Republican supporters of President Trump:
01 - Shaquiell Oneal.

Oof. You know, names aren't that difficult to look up? It's really not a good look when you can't be bothered to even spell his name right: It's Shaquille O'Neal.

03 - Kayne West.

Also, what does it say about you that you're listing a man running for president against Trump as a Trump supporter? You're either ignorant of that fact, or you're saying the quiet part out loud: That Kanye, as we all know, is being fielded as a spoiler candidate by the Republicans.

So which is it?

14 - Ice Cube.

Speaking to Noah, the rapper explained that he will continue to refuse to pick a side. Ice Cube summed up his thoughts on the subject of working with Trump by noting that anyone who thinks this makes him an outright Trump supporter is incorrect.

Biden’s words, not mine

Thats not a meltdown. If that's what counts to conservatives as a meltdown then the bar is set low.

Well it is. You have to remember they have different standards for different people.

[The Archregimancy]

Don’t bother with these people, they will continue believing all their stuff no matter what. It’s hard to convince people that people have different opinions when they are too busy making up nicknames for Trump supporters

There are more than "Trumpists" and "Magats" ?

Do share:D

Important Moderator note:

Using 'Magats' to describe the president's supporters will be considered actionable trolling from this point forward. It is clearly frequently intended as a slur.

I'm not handing out a warning to The Alma Mater here on the basis that A) the negative connotations may not have been universally known in the thread and B) The Alma Mater is noting the existence of a nickname rather than directly applying it - though consider this to be a finger-wagging rapping of knuckles over a post that's tapdancing dangerously close to the baiting line given the presence of active Trump supporters in the thread.


Though note I'm referring more here to GMS and others given that it's a matter of public record that Kexholm Karelia and Aureumterra are the same person.

I strongly agree with you again S L - but watch the video Link and learn their views, even as I know and I understand you strongly disagree with them, thank you - GMS.

Looks like we need a new forum rule.

Political-nicknamer-naming!

[Borderlands of Rojava]

My maths is wrong, that is of total population not voting population or turnout, both of which reduce that number.

Still, a great majority will vote for Biden.

Trump will certainly lose the popular vote. I think the only reason people are nervous or hesitant is because of 2016, and this is Trump. Who knows what he will do.

Here we go again, and we have all discussed this on this thread before. Are you suggesting the birth of the New Confederate States of America, T NCSA? without the evil black slavery and the evil segregation of Black Americans of course. or a US civil war? or a US military Republican coup d etat?

No, we worry that many of your fellow trumpsters will go full Hezbollah mode and will start shooting and bombing people. Based on the things some of them have said, that's a very real possibility. We expect at very least that the best case scenario from Trump losing is Huntington West Virginia being looted and burned down.

Really cause all I got is trumpsters and MAGA. Maybe your favorite president can enlighten me on the art of making up childish nicknames for disliked people.

Biden leads 52-46 in North Carolina.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/523605-new-poll-shows-biden-leading-trump-by-6-points-in-north-carolina

Biden leads 52-46 in North Carolina.

1980 election was close until the final days, then it turned into a landslide for the challenger. I don't expect Biden to win 45 states or even close to that, but he's showing some late foot by pulling ahead in polls in the southeast.

Fox News poll:
Florida - Biden 51 Trump 44
MoE = 2.5%

[Borderlands of Rojava]

Oh look Trump is now claiming that doctors make up covid deaths so they can get money. Totally not a scumbag thing to do, accusing doctors of making up the covid numbers and throwing heroes under the bus so you can distract people from your failure to contain a virus.

Biden leads 52-46 in North Carolina.

That Marist certainly has Biden on the higher end but they are an A+ Rated Poll according to Politico. Based on the polls this week in NC, Biden leads but Trump's within the margin of error though the State leans for Biden and he could win it. Early voting ended yesterday in NC but 4,345,427 have voted or 91.1% of 2016's total turnout. That number will probably grow a bit more from absentee ballots but NC will likely break 5 million votes at least.

Also, we do have another high quality poll from PA: a poll by Muhlenberg College (A+ Rated) shows Biden leading Trump 49% to 44%. Now, other than two polls showing Trump leading by 1 and 3, Biden has consistently been 5 points or higher so while it'll be close, I think Biden will win PA. Currently, about 2,299,393 have voted in the Keystone State, or 37.4% of 2016's total turnout. That is actually the lowest percentage wide of all the midwestern States and thus, I think a majority of the voting will be on Election Day. That could be bad news for Democrats since a majority of Republicans plan on voting on election day but the number of absentee ballots that will be eventually counted could make it a Democratic Victory. Then again, we could be surprised where more Democrats vote on Election Day then usual.

Being a neophyte in U.S. politics, may I know which site is the best at tracking election probability and votings?
