GET OUT: US politics November 2020

Nunes losing would be incredible.

Racism seems like it may not explain doing worse on the Texas/Mexico border.

I no longer believe people vote based on “reasons” it’s just a phenomenon that happens and can’t be made sense of

i agree with this more and more ... but i also live in a state with ballot measures and the absurdity of the results of these is like ... idgi

I think it’s unfortunate at this point that regardless of the outcome the Trump/republican brand is here to stay- and in a bigger voting block than I thought existed.

xxxxxxxxp yes plz, fuck devin nunez

the trump/republican brand is here to stay for the rest of any of our lifetimes

the biggest, greatest voter blocs you've ever seen

xp the extent of which depends on who if anyone can take up the torch after djt (and to a similar extent who emerges after Biden)

i want to move.

speaking of blocs, maybe we should build a wall and like, split the country in half ...

the more i think about these numbers, the angrier i get about the fact that my vote is worth like 1/40 of a wyoming person

Wait that asshole who got convicted of assaulting a reporter ran for MT gov and won?? Jfc

Oh great Trump is going to speak now apparently

Clicked on 538 for the first time tonight and saw that. Noooooope.

Biden’s 8.2-point margin in Minnesota has held up pretty well with around 90 percent of the expected vote counted here. That’s close to our final polling average there (+9.2), which might imply that the polling was halfway decent in Michigan and Wisconsin, too.

You better hope so buddy

Yeah, who knows about that extra 10% but if the polling was less than 3 points off we're in good shape. Assuming Trump isn't about to declare martial law.

Remember that time John Kasich got a convention speaking slot and Julian Castro didn't?

Fuckin' wild.

Yeah that’s great news

Wisconsin will be close but this is starting to look like the 2018 governors race. Milwaukee votes are gonna tie this up and I think absentees over the next few days will give it to Joe.

turned off the tv as soon as they said Trump was about to speak.

is reassuring that the media has treated it largely like a mosquito, acknowledged what he said, that it's stupid, why it's stupid, and moved on. since he's telegraphed it so far in advance, seems like it's blunted.

but I bet he announces that he's created a new role called the Super President and nominated himself.

they still have the camera on an empty stage, pissboy is too scared to come out and switch to his new message of "we need to count all the votes"

oh shit Clint Eastwood is premiering his greatest project

watching Chemical Bros concert highlights on the top screen, so it looks like the unmasked Trump crowd are watching a dancing laser-drawn man while the lectern remains unfilled before a sea of US flags

big boy is up

gonna have to summarize it for me, i cannot look upon the ark of the covenant

Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuu

I have my shit on mute, is this dumb fuck literally giving a victory speech right now

summary: he's been shitting his pants all night about no landslide, is now calling every close-ish state for himself

"now we're coming into what they call Trump Territory, I don't know what you'd call it"

"some people said we won [x state], they said... I don't know, they said it"

Donald Trump is now speaking at the White House, as the presidential race remains too close to call.

“This is, without question, the latest news conference I’ve ever had,” Trump joked as he started speaking at about 2:20 am ET.

The president then baselessly accused Democrats of trying to “disenfranchise” his supporters.

“We will not stand for it,” Trump said.

If Trump wins I'm just not going to pay attention to the politics and general news until he's out. I just can't take him anymore. This election was the light at end of the tunnel keeping me sane. I've already wasted far too much of my life hearing and thinking about this disgusting fuckstain.

He's doing his best to cast doubt on any more votes there are to count, which are of course all weighted against him

REDACTED

"we're up 600, think of this, think of this, think of this, 600 thousand in PA, it's not like it's close, it's like... not close"

“It’s also clear that we have won Georgia,” Trump said at the White House. “They can’t catch us.”

But the AP has not yet called Georgia, and the outstanding votes could give Joe Biden an opportunity to seize the lead in the traditionally conservative state.

"the numbers, it's, look at the numbers, it's... nobody's seen numbers like this before"

gotta play the hits

sounds like a guy whose campaign adviser has been feeding him misery all night

He's declaring victory?

Yes. I've never hated anyone more than I hate him now.

he just called victory

He's taking it to the Supreme Court as predicted.

jay rosen says report this stuff like this, which seems right to me. like don't even report the details of the accusation.

The truth sandwich way of saying it.

The counting continues in many states without major incident. The president just used his Twitter feed to make shadowy and unfounded accusations of a stolen election. The reality is state officials planned for this, and they are unperturbed.

"this is a major fraud in our nation"

Fuck

This

"all of a sudden it was called off"

THEY'RE LITERALLY COUNTING BALLOTS RIGHT NOW YOU STUPID BITCH

people in Philadelphia are wiping crud out of their eyes and feverishly counting.

fuck him so hard.

Take it to the thread where people care what the shitstain says or does

Yep didn't think it was possible to hate him any more. My heart is pounding. Why did I subject myself to that
