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

So those are Trumpists! Just look at the palpable glow of intelligence on those faces! The guy in front, in the brown T-shirt, looks like he just escaped from a zoo. True, those are not representative of all Trump voters, but these are his devoted core base. How can one reason with these people?

God. What’s it like in the Conway house tonight? Awkward!

It really is astounding how quickly the Republican establishment has abandoned him. Not a single Republican Senator has spoken up to protest the call that Biden won, just a couple of backbencher Congressmen. No significant Republican is backing his suits, and Republican-appointed judges are dismissing them out of hand. And most conservative media commentators seem to be trying to find a way to talk him off the wall.

Amusing myself waiting for the speech I just had this mental picture:

(Scene: Jan 20, 2021 - White House - Trump refuses to leave and Biden’s moving van pull up)

Champ! Major! … CLEAR!

Kamala’s on!

:slightly_smiling_face:

I’m crying again.

She’ll be president.

I know most of you don’t care but Pima County just announced more numbers in Arizona. It skewed 61% to Trump giving him a gain of 1,860 votes. Biden’s lead is now 18,713. Biden will probably still hang on but a recount is quite likely.

Either way it’s an embarrassment to those networks that called AZ early.

Wonder if Mitch is watching this.

She spoke exceptionally well. Bravo!

I think it is because republicans actually did pretty well apart from the presidency. Also, I think most are privately happy Trump is gone.

I just fell in love with Kamala.

I’d like to give a big shout out to all the numbers people who put the work into this thread, good job. Considering for this foreigner the last few days have been anxious and wrong feeling, I can only imagine what it felt like on the ground. To be going thru that and laboriously updating on the details, well kudos. For that and voting out the lunatic clown I applaud.

While I am openly critical of many things American, today I feel a bit less so. Bring it in :smiley:

Harris spoke well. Biden will speak better than Donnie Two Scoops ever could.

Also in the last hour Biden has extended his lead in GA to 9,160

For one thing, they’re talking about the people, not praising themselves.

I’ll vote for her, of course, but I wonder if she will get “Hilaryized” where they turn her intelligence and passion into “she’s a bitch” and it ends up being another sexism-ruined loss.

I mean, I think H. Clinton out-debated Trump compared to Biden and she still managed to lose somehow.

Anyway, I’d vote for Harris in a second. I hope she can win.

You’ve gotten over 75 million votes and counting Joe!

I just popped the cork on my one-serving bottle of bubbly and toasted RBG, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, and John McCain. You may not agree with that last one, but he earned it by his Nay vote and thumb-down gesture if nothing else.

Trump can tweet away, for all I care. Every deranged tweet about how he really won just makes him look worse, even to some of those who voted for him. There are few things more discomfiting and pathetic than a losing president who continues to rant that he really won.
