All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

Her biggest thing is of course how The USA is going to be controlled by Putin because as Hunters emails show is in in Russia pocket. But her hope is Biden will get impeached when all the child porn on Hunters laptop comes to light.

It is funny. One second Biden is the puppet of Pelosi and Sanders. The next he is the puppet of Putin. she is out of her mind this morning.

The sad reality of conspiracy theorists is that the narrative changes to fit the explicit bias of those who want to believe, even if it contradicts what was previously stated.

The outstanding ballots in Nevada are expected to grow Biden's lead, though it's much closer than it should be.

Biden is being predicted (based on what we know about the breakdown in mail in voters and voting patterns) to win Pennsylvania by about 400k. I expect it will be closer than that, but he should still take it.

Well if Biden can flip Pennsylvania AND keep his lead in Wisconsin and Michigan, then it's a done deal.

If the last four years have taught us anything, it's that this is not such an extreme position in this country. If you were ask people whether they thought the Chinese were all out to steal our jobs, or that Mexicans were all rapists and criminals, or that Middle Easterners were all terrorist fanatics, or that Africans were all disease ridden charity cases, then yeah maybe the majority of people wouldn't necessarily come out and say it, but they'd definitely be thinking it, and they'd vote for policies that harmed these people for the benefit of honest, hard working, white Americans. This is by no means a fringe position in our politics and never has been. The only difference in the Trump era is that people are a lot more comfortable expressing these views openly rather than resorting to dog whistles.

Agreed, the only difference is that they don't hide it nearly as much anymore.

Do you all think a winner will be announced this evening? Or do we have to wait a couple more days or week to know?

Biden will declare victory but regardless this will be fought in the Courts for the next several weeks. It'll be 2020 all over again. We're just going to have to see how the Supreme Court, which is vastly conservative, will rule. This has the potential to get super ugly.

Biden has 270 sown up with the states he presently leads in so, depends on what Michigan and Wisconsin do. I'd say we'll know more by Thursday at the latest.

And if you asked her whether she believed Biden was in Putin or Pelosi's pocket... She'd just shrug you off.

Gotcha yea this is going to be a mess.

America's always been a country built upon bias and intolerance. Heck, the Puritans left England as the church wasn't conservative enough to their liking, and despite decades of immigration in the 19th Century, we weren't the great melting pot more as much of a chop suey instead.

So, the majority of the population (white Americans) would always blame or persecute minorities for everything. This isn't exclusive to the United States, of course, but in such a diverse nation, it's more obvious to outsiders than in a more homogenized nation where persecution isn't as blatant.

Alright I am thinking they might say something tonight or like you say early Thursday morning ( 2 or 3 AM).

Not that the popular vote matters but lets update it.

If Biden leads holds or grow in the states he's leading in right now, we'll have an indication of who the winner will be tonight or early Thursday morning.

But if the gap narrows, then we will have to wait on Pennsylvania and that could take another few days before we get the final results.

It’s going to be virtually the same thing as 2016 only the margins in Arizona and the rust belt states will be enough to get Biden over the edge

[The no face guy]

It looks like Biden has won, though it's not over till its over.

Those mid west rust belt states are looking pretty shaky for the future though, Democrats have a lot of work to due there.

Whoever can unlock the economic prosperity of that region, has a good lock on future elections.
