I'd like to propose something novel - can we get rid of the Electoral College?

This is ****ing ridic....when they finish up the mail-ins and the west coast, Biden is easily going to be +50% with about 5 million more votes than Trump. That's greater than the entire population of most of these fly-over states that are dead red every election.

I would love to feel that my vote actually counted. Blue in a red state.

Someone can check my math but if Biden flips Michigan (which seems more likely) and holds on in Wisconsin and Nevada that brings him to 270 and he doesn't need PA.

That is correct. He would be at 270 without GA and PA. And Biden took the lead in MI and likely to build on it.

Can we all agree that state legislatures should allow pre-election VBM numbers? Pretty ridiculous.

Did I mention that Joe Biden is a weak candidate? How does a Democrat lose PA by 700,000 votes.

He is absolutely a weak candidate. It's just sad that Americans chose corrupt and morally bankrupt over weak. But loud. Boy is he loud. The loudest. Look how loud he can yell his lies and divisive vitriol. Americans like loud. Give us loud over effective, kind, ethical, good, or selfless any day. Selfish and loud, that's how we like our dictators!

Just proves Americans are weak, tbh.

Watching **** now. Biden is winning Wiscy but only by like 11,000 votes. I think they said 10% of Milwaukee County which is heavily D has yet to report as have some smaller counties which are heavily R. I wish they’d get even more specific with the math. If there are x people in Milwaukee County and 10% of that is y number of people than based on voting in historically in those specific precincts (or whatever they’re called), we can expect about A Biden votes and B Trump votes thus growing Biden’s lead from 11,000 votes to about 23,000 votes...or whatever...then based on the remaining smaller typically R counties, we can expect...like that. It’s fairly basic math.

Dude it's not like you're a math teacher. Stay in your lane.
 
We should all be thankful for Fox News. As far as I can tell, they are being very reasonable as it relates to projecting certain states for one candidate or another. If Fox was jumping the gun and declaring certain states for Trump well before certain votes were counted, things would be a lot more contentious right now.

And I think a huge part of the problem is that people who haven’t understood what’s going on conjure up that image. If I assumed all the antifa violence represented all left-leaning thinkers, would I be missing a huge part of the picture, and be rendering myself incapable of dialoging with those individuals?

If you are assuming that all the actions presented as "antifa violence" is done by antifa, you are indeed missing a big part of the picture. Among people with identified affiliations, right-wingers commit double the "antifa violence" that left-wingers do.

You didn’t answer my question as to whether you’d find that reasonable if the roles were reversed. I’d imagine many people would be saying things like “unprecedented,” “dangerous,” “threat to democracy,” etc.

Wow, you've got a great imagination. I would say you should write fiction, but you already are.

I should be thankful that they’re being responsible about doing their job?

That's always been a problem at Fox News - on election day they rely on data from their own pollsters. Their pollsters and their media personalities are often not on the same page. That's because their pollsters use actual methodologies to generate data while their media personalities just make **** up.

Case in point in 2012 when the Fox pollsters were calling it for Obama and Karl Rove was having an on-air meltdown.
 
Interesting that the only race/gender demographic that Democrats performed better in for this election (2020 compared to 2016) is with WHITE MEN.

All other combos (listed by CNN below) show Trump performing better in 2020. This includes Black Men, Black Women, Latino Women, Latino Men.......

Despite what many progressives, including some on this board, will suggest, these election results have nothing to do with racism. There are a multitude of reasons many Americans reject the principles of either party.

I voted for a female candidate for the first time in my life ( Jo Jorgensen) in the hopes that someday down the line we ditch this stupid two party system that has resulted in each major party putting inept candidates in front of us, and then vilifying the other side.
