Predictions for the 2020 US Presidential Election

It’s hard to know since we don’t have a control Earth to run experiments on but I have the feeling based on the political riots of the summer that it’s more likely that Biden supporters would be rampaging if things don’t go their way.

Could be. We’ll be mighty disappointed, that’s for sure. Last time we had a pussy hat march, but I think it was pretty peaceful.

Which candidate do you think would urge his supporters to stay calm?

At least they don’t try to kidnap sitting governors.

“Rampaging”?? Oh puh-leese. Consider getting a clue, okay?

Why and where are businesses boarding up their properties?

So that rampaging Trump supporters don’t do as much damage when Trump loses.

My post is my cite.

Again, the events of the summer in Dem controlled cities and states by folks who lean non-Trumpian suggest otherwise.

They are protecting themselves against assholes like this white supremacist;

But the protests - very few of which got violent - were not about an election. This is a different issue, and one side’s leader has called for crime and violence from time to time, which the other’s has not.

Consider that you have internalized lies from liars. Your “Dem controlled cities” language tells us what we need to know.

But but but… I’ve heard from sources that Portland has been burned to the ground… TWICE! By Biden supporters. I read it in a blog, so it’s true.

And I heard Laura Ingraham say it, that proves it.

Has there even been one building burned down?

Oh sure. This is what Portland is like now:

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

In fairness, it’s been like that in Portland for a few years now.

Blue cities have all the fun.

Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy’s have, as well as many others, here in New York City. Kinda ridiculous, IMO.

philly has been boarding up. mostly due to looting from last week and not election related.

While the leader’s offspring namesake blows a dogwhislte.

Did you forget there’s a thread for this?

I won’t be surprised if the race hasn’t been called by midnight or if Trump is still in it with a fighting chance, but I think as we get closer to midnight, the walls will gradually be closing in in terms of electoral math. We might end up going to bed with Biden near victory but not quite clinching it.

If there’s any drama it’s how Trump’s campaign and administration will behave over the next 24-48 hours - and perhaps between now and January.
