FiveThirtyEight's election forecast is out!

Imagine it? I live with 4 teens 16-18. Trust me, they’re not happy with any of us. Frankly, I’m concerned they’re going to implement a “Logan’s Run” society in a decade or so.

I did not vote for Obama* in either election, but voting for Clinton in 2016 was essential to me. I did not love either Clinton, but I never questioned their loyalty to the United States.

*Ultimately, he was great. I do think Romney would have done well, though. I could legit vote for a Obama-Romney ticket.

Pretty sure I could come up with plenty of worse things - including continuing under Trump/Mitch.

I guess I’ll see you at Carousel then.

Renew! Renew!

I once worked in a building that had an office with a sign on the door that said “Non-renewal Unit”.

It worried me.

Interesting; during the conversation I had where the thought first occurred to me, I also invoked Logan’s Run in describing the backlash.

Thanks. Took me a while to find a drawing. Photos of pipes don’t scale well.

Yeah, my daughter is more than a little fed up with being sold down the river by the older generations… I should probably not introduce her to Logan’s Run…

At first it looks like a 7-yo’s drawing of a Dr. Seuss hummingbird. I thought maybe it was something your kid drew that you thought was cute.

In the larger version shown in the pop-up when somebody clicks on the avatar it’s obvious what it really is. Especially given the context of your name and what many of us know about your musical history.

Best of all it’s highly distinctive. Once we know what it is, it’ll stand nicely as your visual identity. Unlike the pinkish-purple

that Discourse assigned me. If there’d been any poetic justice to that decision, it’d be a light gray L on a less-light gray square; that’s me: gray.

Trump is down to 10% while Biden is still holding at 89%. Just a little further …

We only have a few days. Is 90-10 the final prediction? Or does it blow up the last day? I thought he kept saying the “same day” chances would be lower.

Uh, lower for Trump I mean.

Yeah - I thought bird or insect at first as well. Then I thought of your name and !

They better get a move on, in the book the age cut off was 21 :wink:.

I think they’ll keep changing it as last minute polls come in. I don’t expect any more huge changes, but you never know. It looks like Wisconsin just pegged hard for Biden, so it’s possible.

A simple linear extrapolation would give Biden 555 EVs on election day. That would be a victory like no one’s ever seen!

I personally am making three bets with myself: Biden wins the popular vote by more than 10 million votes; Biden wins the EC with over 400 votes; Trump doesn’t get more than 150 EC votes. Sure, it’s counting chickens, but a guy can dream, eh?

Actually, I’ve confused it once with Colibri’s humming bird!

No family tartan on your bag?

(signed, digs… whose clan tartan is so horrendous that I’ve only worn it once as a joke :sleepy:)
