The Politics Thread

Biden takes NH.

Louisiana for Trump, again no surprise. NH for Biden.

 

This may come down to PA, which of course doesn't finish tonight.

Perdue is trampling on Ossoff, too.

What a horrible night.

 

God, please, PLEASE let AZ hold. Especially since PA is stopping counting, which is RIDICULOUS.

I think a lot of this is down to a certain need for narratives in the press and then seeping down into the public discourse. Tim Alberta spent an eternity tooting around the country writing verbose thinkpieces that ultimately said a lot of nothing and you could tell it was just pining for relevance. This is the same posturing that helped to blind people to so many bad trends in elections like 2000 and 2016. One of the things about Obama was how clear-eyed he was - he had no real sentimentality or blinders in terms of his campaigns and the people working for him didn't either. I wish he wasn't the exception in terms of Democratic nominees over the last few decades.

Utah to Trump, another non-shocker.

Hold off on Georgia. They aren't counting a ton of ballots in Franklin County(Where Atlanta is)due to a water leak or some other lie IMO.

I just love how CNN and others are sugar coating it. Looks are meaningless....stop doing them. I done with CNN and MSNBC and others not watching after tonight. Don't want to hear complaining about Trump...covid or anything else he does.

[Vee]

Charlie whoever on MSNBC is making a lot of sense.

I thought Atlanta was in Fulton County. A water main break? That's the most creative excuse they could come up with?

Cawthorn is a real [!@#$%^&*]. Among many, many other issues, his campaign people attacked his opponent for wanting to ruin white men. It's sad that this is what wins elections in 2020, and terrifying to wonder what the next extreme will be.

[Soapsuds]

CNN is still saying Biden can come back in Florida. That's laughable. Their polls were once again trash and they look like fools again.

[Vee]

Important thread.

It's really close here in NC. At one point it looked like both Trump and Biden had almost the exact percentage. I do wonder which one win it. Our Democratic governor Roy Cooper was re-elected tonight. Maybe that will bode well for Biden.

Just call it what it is, a lie. Florida is ruby [!@#$%^&*] red.
