Election Day [Week][Month[s]] [Year] 2020 follow-along thread

…trump!

Thanks, i’ll be here all week. Try the veal.

I agree. I get very upset when people downplay Joe’s capabilities and especially his experience. Yeah, he’s not Mr. Flash – and that’s an asset. I’ve said all along, only a white man could beat DJT. Not a woman, not a brown/black-skinned person of any gender, not a first-or-second-generation American, and not anyone too young (under 55). It had to be an Old White Guy. It had to be someone with long-time relationships in the House and the Senate. Someone who knows backstairs D.C. Someone with a cool head and the maturity not to fly off the handle at the slightest thing. Someone who has been tested by Life and its tragedies. It could ONLY have been Joe.

Yeah, there won’t be 20+ faithless electors. I feel like I’ve been waiting 4 years to take a deep breath. (Unfortunately, I still can’t- we still have Covid out there and closing in on 10 million US cases).

To paraphrase the second episode of Better Call Saul: “Worst candidate ever? I just pleaded America down from a death sentence to three months probation. I’m the best candidate ever!”

Or Fascists. Or all of the above.

I cried when Obama was elected, but I’m crying more this morning. What a relief, and what a frightening 4 years it’s been.

Yahoo! Finally, it’s over.

A bit late, but I want to join the celebration.

People are crying all over my tv.

YES! I am so happy right now I had to get up and do a happy dance in the living room. I tried to get one of my cats to join me in the dance but he gave me a catly look of disdain so I had to solo dance.
Vox has a nice article on Biden: Election results: How Joe Biden won and Donald Trump lost - Vox

Agreed on Trump’s portrait. It’s important not to whitewash history, and I’m sure there’s space for it by the kitchen dumpsters.

If you need a good laugh to release even more tension, give this a watch. It got a good giggle out of me this morning:

High quality fountain pen? But just any pen will do for him to start undoing Trump’s EOs.

On black velvet.

I’m another who long ago made this point and supported Biden from the very beginning. I am so sick of all the Biden bashing. He’s a very capable, experienced man who is, as you well said, not Mr. Flash – but Dems would do so much better if they figured out how to value experience, judgment and a deliberative temperament over sizzle. We might have had President Gore and President Kerry instead of Bush and Trump if they had.

There’s plenty of room for a progressive wing in the party and I support it to the max. But we have got to work together and keep this movement together to ever have any hope of succeeding over the horrible fear-and-cheat campaigns mounted regularly by Republicans.

Biden will make us proud.

Trump’s portrait should be used as the White House welcome mat,

And it should be a version of this.

Whatever it is, you know they’ll all have been stolen when Biden moves into the Oval Office.

Can we now tear down that stupid wall.

Perhaps we can actually get Mexico to pay for it, just give them permission to remove any section that they don’t like, perhaps it blocks their view could be a reason.

The cats will only dance when Kamala is president.

My parents went out and danced in the streets when Nixon resigned.

My four-year-old grandson and I went out in front of our house and waved our Biden Harris sign around while he yelled Biden Harris Biden Harris over and over and over again.

It’s the same thing.
