I can't believe an incumbent president lost. What incompetence.

Evil turtle man receives a large boost in power, a quickening, as he becomes the most powerful Republican sith lord.

Biden on track to very very narrowly win AZ and GA, and to win PA by a slightly more comfortable margin. This should be over, and it will take some time (until all ballots are counted) before we can assess the final margins and analyze what happened in this election. A ton to unpack for sure.

I spent most of the day on a train, and it took me almost 2 hours to read up on 90 pages of this thread, so I'll chime in in more detail later. Some preliminary thoughts:



The bottom line is probably the following: Trump is (most likely) defeated, but Trumpism will live on. The GOP holds the Senate, will most definitely hold it during the 2022 Biden midterm, and then build a huge lead when the extremely lopsided map comes up again in 4 years. It might very easily take over a decade from now on before Democrats control the Senate again. Either way, the country is more deeply polarized and divided than ever before, and this wont change anytime soon.

Liberals had hoped that this election would turn into a landslide and prove once and for all that their side of the culture wars/partisan divide is stronger. This hope was shattered, with Republicans holding the Senate, making serious inroads in the House, and Trump overperforming his polls substantially once more. Considering the glaring weaknesses of Trump and the very detrimental circumstances (huge public health and economic crises, he botched the government response; race riots across the summer which juiced black turnout), the fact that he still got so close to winning reelection against a Democratic party and an establishment which threw everything they could at him, is a testament to his strength, not his weakness.

All good things must come to an end.

I mean, other than that it's disingenuous on its face....

Here's the MN voter registration numbers as of November 2nd: https://www.sos.state.mn.us/election-administration-campaigns/data-maps/voter-registration-counts/

Note: They're over 500K higher than that shit-tier meme pretends.

The map gets redrawn next year because census.

Fake news.

Guy I work with won his race to be on the local high school district board of governors. First time I've ever known someone personally to not only run for office, but to win.

Another friend in my hometown ran for high school board too, but did not win.
