Susan Collins looks like she is going to hang on to keep her seat. Up 8% with 81% of the vote in.
Congrats Joe Biden!!! #46 President of the United States!
- Thread starter mcbmd
- Start date
She needs to stay above 50%. If not, they go to rank choice voting. Weird state
I’m just flabbergasted that the early comment from the left was, “trumps going to come out and declare victory and will destroy democracy.”
Then Biden comes out and starts counting electoral numbers and tells people he’s going to win certain states.
I’m not condoning Trump. Just laughing at the oblivious left.

In that case she is at 50.7% right now. Will be interesting if she can keep that.
I still don't understand the point you're trying to make. A person stating they are going to win or they expect to win is just them stating their opinion. Nobody cares about that(I don't at least). They obviously aren't going to come out and say they expect to lose.
That's not the same as declaring the other side is cheating. One of those responses is trying to undermine our democratic voting process, the other isn't.
let me try to say it a different way.
You have a test of pass/fail. One guy is saying, “I’m going to pass.” The other guy is saying, “The only way I don’t pass is if shady shit went down.”
Biden coming out and giving a speech counting his votes and proclaiming to win undecided states he’s currently losing, basically just set the country on fire if he doesn’t win.
I edited my original post, but in that scenario, at least one of those options isn't calling into question the entire legality of the process.
You'd think the President of the country would respect the process that allows millions of people to vote.
Honestly, who gives a flying
what either of them tweet? That’s one of the biggest issues with the media coverage (and to an extent, the country at large) these days. They pay more attention to what’s said on social media than what is actually being done in real life. Personally, I don’t give 2 shats what our president says on social media (within reason)...only what he actually does while in office.
Actions speak louder than words....
**this applies to whomever is elected president**
Again, I agree. Trump is a fücking moron and I hate he’s the pub nominee/president.
But this moral compass standard the left keeps perpetuating is incredibly odd given their tactics.
Nope, and I've been going county by county and Michigan and Wisconsin arent looking real hopeful for Biden right now.

I agree, it shouldn't matter, but it does. Millions of people parrot the talking points they see on Social Media from guys like Trump(any celebrity really), that's the reality of the world we live in.
Quick question. Which one’s manifest themselves in a detrimental way for the generic public: Republican frustration with censorship or Democratic insistence that even though they’re backed by every media outlet, entertainment organization, public institution, et al., that they’re disenfranchised?
I agree, and I understand it to a point, especially when we’re talking about the most powerful man in the world. I guess I’m mostly just venting about my frustration with people putting more emphasis on words published via social media than actual real life actions (this is the Grim Bottom, after all).
It's likely, but that might come back to bite him in the ass.
Joe calling PA will come back to bite him terribly. The math for that state is practically gone.
1.5 to 2. 2 is the high end. He’d need 73% of the remaining votes in a state with the worst early voting numbers in the US. It’s not there.
Coming out calling the election a fraud isn't the mindset of a winner... but oh well.
Also I wonder if his tune will change tomorrow if he turns out to be the winner? lol

Yes. Just like Gore did in 2004 with Florida.
Trumps pissed but he went about it the wrong way. There’s no reason for them to stop counting ballots tonight, he knows they’re going out to their trunks.
Dude come on.
He literally said continue counting votes in Arizona bc it benefits me, but insinuated he wanted to stop in the other states bc he knows those mail in ballots will benefit Biden
Eh, he’s an idiot. I don’t think his comments reflect the actual outcome.
Just do the math.
700k lead with 73% in at 4.9 M votes.
27% would be 1.32 MM votes.
Youd need 310k to 1.02 MM.
That’s 23.5% to 76.5%
The math isn’t there.
Thought it was funny that Pence came on right after and said "Votes are still being counted and we believe we will win" right after Trump thinks they need to involve the SC to stop counting votes, lol.
I don’t think you saw me say what he was saying was stupid. But I am saying, thinking of going to the SC for voting determination is straight out of the D playbook in the early 2000s.
Me showing presidence doesn’t condone the actions.
No doubt that was planned. They knew Trump would fly off the handle so they needed a calming hand.
