I mean that literally just happened in Virginia (Fairfax County). You know where the votes AREN'T counted yet so you can do some quick math to see what the margins would need to be for a Trump win or a Biden win. The votes that aren't counted are in Atlanta. There are so many negros in Atlanta that they made a show about negros called "Atlanta."



It’s quite easy to dispel any rumors or notions by counting the ballots. Instead they invite doubt by going home with potential integrity concerns with time elapsing. Pennsylvania is continuing to count why can’t Georgia? Are people from Atlanta extra special needing more sleep than others?

This is what a desperate man looks like


Donald Trump has lost this election and now plans to incite violence by his white supremacist supporters.

Yes, MI/PA/GA seem to come down to the absolute wire. And like I keep repeating, I also think that AZ will end up being quite close when everything is said and done. I think it tilts toward Biden, but not by much. Likewise, I see WI being a really close win for Biden.



In that case (which is a big if), the story of the election is two-fold: 1.: Trump's strength in Florida and the Rust Belt persists, but WI narrowly slips through his fingers due to their huge covid surge in the weeks before the election. 2.: the suburban revolt causes two Sun Belt states dominated by a single large metro (Phoenix in AZ, Atlanta in GA) to flip.

yeah those states are blue going forward no matter who is on the ballot imo.

If you're gonna bitch about it get off your ass and go volunteer to do it yourself, or just be thankful someone else is.

Disappointed in CA voters on some propositions. Can't believe more people voted "No" on a proposition that would allow people who are 17 to vote during the Primary if they would turn 18 by the General Election.

The most damning is how the bigoted regressive conservatives that control Californian politics have voted down the important affirmative action amendment that would have granted equality and justice to black and brown Californians.
Just one more display of the white patriarchy's power

Fuck, I forgot to turn NV blue in the map I just posted. Although I gotta say that I'm kinda bullish on NV turning red this year.

The Dem vote in NV relies a lot on the unions and the machine, which will have a harder time getting out the vote in a year when tons of workers were furloughed and people are encouraged to stay at their homes. Nevada's economy is also more badly hit by shutdowns than that of any other state, and it has one of the youngest populations of any state. Taken together, this means that I see Nevada falling unusually strongly on the "reopen" side of the covid debate. And last but not least, Nevada contains a lot of working-class voters, while the amount of college-educated or upscale residents is comparatively low.

Taken together, I see a realistic chance for Trump to flip the state.

I agree.

We also had more people vote to allow Uber and Lyft to treat ride-share drivers as independent contractors so they can continue to fuck over their drivers. Such a shame.
