US election 2020 thread

[Pickman's model]

Bıden's got California. He is doing the republican party a great favour by losing the popular and winning the electoral.

We'll never hear the end of it if jb wins without the popular vote as djt did last time, it'll be all 'i told you it was rigged'

I've got up. Time to start drinking.

Yeh the sun is over the yard arm in Yakutsk so that's ok

But why can't you get your booze and drink in bed, which will save you from falling over later?

 

[frogwoman]

I think Biden will just scrape the popular vote tbh but it will be close and we'll never hear the end of the lawsuits on both sides. those rushed judge appointments were a cunning move

Well yeah. But a biden victory is more advantageous for the republicans, in the long term. The never trumper section of the republicans tends to get left out of most analyses.

Trump is like a shock in that regard. kick yer arse into gear, but having him around for too long is volatile.

 

[JTG]

Again, make it make sense

 

[ManchesterBeth]

Don't think any parallels to brexit make sense in this instance.

 

[Ted Striker]

I think the shirt tucker inner wanker has a point with the first bit. Seems silly not to call Florida - must be an alterior motive at play?

 

[David Clapson]

Why does the Guardian have Biden at 209 while everyone else says 192?

That's one way of looking at it

 

[redsquirrel]

He'll do more than scrape the popular vote frogwoman . OK Trump looks likely to take NC, GA and TX but the fact that those states were/are even in play shows the strength of the anti-Trump vote

EDIT: And the NH results back up the above, HC just winning there in 2016, Biden at ~+9% this year

We are familiar with these sorts of intrigues in Turkey.

 

[bimble]

I'll draw initial parallels with Brexit & 2019 GE in that it would appear that the right have been successful in bringing out a load of people who don't vote much to vote for them

Does this mean trump did draw new supporters over these four years?

 

[JTG]

Cos everyone has different standards on calling states. CNN seem terrified to call anything tonight, others are more upfront

Aaaaaaaaand my WiFi has copped out

 

[Sprocket.]

Aaaaaaaaand my WiFi has copped out

Mine too!

 

[JTG]

It would seem so. Or at least drawn out more people who were soft supporters but didn't vote
Same goes for the other side too. Lots of forces at play

 

[Pickman's model]

Yeh he must have because thousands of his 2016 supporters are dead now

 

[strung out]

Fox news have called Arizona for Biden. If true it's the first state to be flipped by either side.

Don't panic

I'm going back to bed but I bet I wake up and find that cunt trump has snuck in, 2020's that kind of year

 

[David Clapson]

BBC fronted by Andrew Neil. Fuck that.

 

[YouSir]

Just woken up, what's going on?

 

[strung out]

Just woken up, what's going on?

It's a draw.

 

[YouSir]

It's a draw.

Back to sleep it is then.

 

[David Clapson]

Media arguing about whether to call Az. FFS!

Just woken up, what's going on?

Everyone is pissed. But not in the American sense.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

Just woken up, what's going on?

mourinho anti football.

 

[Ted Striker]

The pic of Dimbleby with the BBC News overlay saying "We've fucked it lads", after May's 17 election, is my high water mark of interest in politics as an adult.

Edit: Found it! Who says there was nothing positive to take from tonight!
