2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[Farnhamia]

Fr is that nation named president Joe Biden a puppet or did Biden or someone from his campaign actually grace the pages of our forum?

Nah that Nation has +3 billion population. So its been around since a while.

Planning ahead, it seems.

[Valrifell]

That's exactly what they did under Obama. If we're going to have a country worth having we're going to need to cut the bullshit.

To do that, we'd have needed to elect Trump, who's platform was, in part, "No more bullshit." Instead, we got Biden, so we have to hold off said "bullshit" until we get another chance to not screw up in four years.

First of all, Trump and the RNC literally did not run a platform this year.

Second of all, Biden's platform is explicitly no more malarky.

[Xmara]

Can we see his birth certificate though?

Trump has honestly pulled birtherism three times. First on Obama, then on Ted Cruz, then on Kamala Harris.

His go to attack is "you are a foreigner and can't run for president."

Ted Cruz didn't show his birth certificate because it would prove he's the Zodiac Killer

[Dakran]

So now that the joy is wearing off, is it time to return to the normal cynicism about how the government is run?

I think we get at least 24 hours of joy, preferably a week.

Three, take it or leave it

Yes, in another four years we'll get another chance to fix this by electing President Sanders.

I think this is where someone inserts the "Stop it you're scaring him" meme lol.

Bernie's too old tbh. I want president Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, or even better president Rashida Talib so I can watch West Virginia riot after an Arab is elected president.

Donald "no more bullshit" Trump, whose presidency can be summed up as "complete and utter bullshit".

You do realize Trump didnt have a platform this year right?

I really don't want my home state to riot, but they would probably do that if Tlaib was elected.

[The Marlborough]

In the meantime, Mitch McConnell should be extremely annoying to the Biden administration, try to stop them from getting left wing legislation through without compromise

That's exactly what they did under Obama. If we're going to have a country worth having we're going to need to cut the bullshit.

I mean, is it still worth having?

[Shrillland]

Well, it's finally ended. It's all over but the runoffs and the transition, and the latter's for another thread.

[Dresderstan]

Well, it's finally ended. It's all over but the runoffs and the transition, and the latter's for another thread.

Can we just take a fucking break for the rest of the year and worry about everything in 2021?

Not unless Trump kicks off one of the biggest political and constitutional crises ever.

I do. Sorry, I'm just being salty.

For anyone anxious, angry, or scared today, I drop another Townsends video for relaxation:

Just because it’s been called doesn’t necessarily mean we’re off the wild ride. But we really need to remain calm, clear-headed, and civil as much as possible. And for that, here is Jon Townsend reading Rip Van Winkle by a crackling fire and outside a log cabin. Which is probably where a lot of people want to be right now.

Remember to keep caring for your mental health, be kind to each other, and take care of the people around you, whether your neighbors are Dem, Rep, or Purple Polka-Dot Giraffes. Regardless of whoever wins everything, the unity of this country ultimately comes down to us, even after Election Day is over.

Ty again lumi. Everyone keep calm and love each other.

We try that after each election, there's always something big that comes though. In this case, it's Covid's record-breaking autumn.

Happy days are here again!
The skies above are clear again!
Let us sing a song of cheer again,
Happy days are here again!

Except he did, it was the GOP platform from 2016, because that got him the biggest electoral college victory ev-aarrr. Don't you remember?

You'll get over it, we all went through it in 2016, the GOP (or at least the sensible ones) will be fine

Where did the 4 came from? The current situation I'm aware of is projecting 270-268, with PA being a wild card.

Nostradamus couldn't predict his way out of a wet paper bag.

[Jedi Council]

Also just pointing out that this is the 7/8 election since 1992 where the Democrats have won the popular vote.

That should worry the Right, even with the electoral college

Nah, its going to be Kamala Harris. She's practically a shoe in for the anti-leftist wing of the party.
