The Official 2020 General Election returns thread CONTAINS NSFW IMAGES IN POST 3,884

It's unfortunate, but even though Biden's candidacy is not quite dead yet, it seems clear that the Dems need a showman going forward. There's just too much of the country that clearly cares more about razzmatazz than thoughtful empathy.

It is true. Bill Clinton was good a yelling/talking loud, even Obama was good at it. While I was very young I don’t remember Carter yelling. Bush Senior wasn’t good at yelling either.
Reagan wasn’t much of a bark orders guy but he had a certain “roughness” to him so he didn’t need it.

Yeah, it's not a good situation. But then, 4 more years of Trump+McConnell gets us, amongst other things, federalist society replacements for Breyer (probably) and retirements of Thomas and Alito. Plus their work remaking the circuit courts would be completed.

What it would really lead to is a Chinese world leadership, and the collapse of humanity.

Should Jan 20,2021 arrive and the election outcome has not been determined ( possibly awaiting a court decision) ... what happens? Is there an acting president

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be decided as the electoral college votes no matter what in December and any tie would be decided by a 2/3 majority in the house with each state getting one vote. If that fails then the voice president becomes president and the vice president with the most votes becomes vice president.

I'm worried of four years of Biden with Mitch just being a flaccid dick the whole time. It'll result in a Don Jr win in 2024, followed by a drop into anarchy. I guess we'll just get that in 2022 instead.

If Biden pulls it off, then it's just as reasonable to assume that NYS will take care of the Trump family legally, and so no real need to consider them political anything; as it is to assume the potential for Cocaine Jr in 2024.

That’s where everything goes ape shit. House pick President one vote per state, senate picks Vice President one vote per state. I think that happens on January 7th, because they both have to certify the EC results on that day and if there are no EC results they are required to act.

Nancy Pelosi

Sadly it works one vote per state not per representative. This outcome is extremely unlikely.

 

[Motostu]

Ugh... did we seriously just vote in a college football coach for the Senate?

Sickening isn't it? Too many blindly partisan people around here.

I feel like when history looks back, 2020 will be the last year on record where humanity really had a chance to recover from the climate disaster it created, and failed.

This more than anything would be the worst outcome if Trump wins. The world doesn't need another four years of climate denial enablism.

lol how many people in the voting thread said they voted straight-ticket?

I guarantee that majority of folks that voted straight-ticket wouldn't know if their candidates were acquitted serial killers. Hell - take the D/R away from the names on the screen and they would be royally fucked.

Yes and a Q Anon believer into the House.

I received a single campaign flyer from Tuberville, and it's filled with gems like (emphasis from the flyer)...

PRO-TRUMP:
In 2016, we sent a message to the Washington establishment by electing Donald J. Trump as President. Now, we need to show we still put America First and Drain the Swamp by sending Coach Tommy Tuberville to the US Senate.

PRO-ALABAMA:
Coach Tuberville understands our values because he is one of us. He's pro-2ndAmendment, pro-Life and pro-family values. Coach won't let politicians from Washington tell us how to live.

PRO-AMERICA:
Liberals hate America, our history, and our freedom. Coach Tuberville is a proud American who respects our flag, loves our military and police, and will not let rioting hordes of Liberals get away with attacking this country.

In regard to Doug Jones, it says...

* Lies about President Trump constantly
* Even voted to overturn voters and remove Trump from office
* Opposed the 2nd Amendment in his very first speech as Senator
* Voted to use our tax dollars for late-term abortions
* Encouraged the "Defund thePolice" lawlessness and riots
* Gets almost all of his campaign money from out of state (over 80%)

Kick Hollywood Wackjobs Out of Alabama:
Kick Doug Jones Out of the US Senate

I received a few flyers from Jones that have a completely different tone.

All the votes need to be counted. The field is far too fluid. Both Trump and Biden have paths to victory, the scary part is that we’re in the nightmare scenario of this going into the courts.

How frustrating it can be talking to friends and co-workers that still did not vote because their vote "won't matter" I feel like slapping the shit out of people like that. I also hate single issue voters, more than any other type of voter really. You'll sacrifice the integrity of the country because you are pro-life or you think someone will still come and take away all of your guns.

We don't need voter ID laws, we need citizens to pass a psychological evaluation before they can vote

 

[echo4747]

nothing surprises me at this point..just know this is going to happen: a box full of ballots will be found in a ditch/dumpster with votes in Trumps favor. They could be planted/dumped either by a pro or anti Trumper... this whole election is a clusterf**k

Sadly it works one vote per state not per representative. This outcome is extremely unlikely.

What zin is referring to is if Congress doesn’t accept the EC vote by date of inauguration, the Speaker of the House becomes POTUS.
The Electoral Count Act governs the process of ratifying the EC vote, and it’s somewhat murky.

Arizona will have their results done by 9pm tonight.

Wisconsin will be done this afternoon.

Michigan should be done by the evening.

Nevada will be done tomorrow.

PA and Georgia won’t be done until Friday.

NC could still shift and won’t be called until the cut off day for mail in votes post marked by Election Day.

Its going to be awhile for the first totals to be totaled completely.

Then you will have the recounts. There will probably be multiple recounts but recounts rarely change elections unless the margins are a few hundred votes.

By some of the world I’m guessing you mean Russia and North Korea.

I am suspicious about that account regarding its creation date and post history.

Again, reflect and grow. Liberals claim Trump is narcissistic... Yet look at your own behavior. Here is a list of symptoms. How many of these do I see on Anandtech P&N on a daily basis from your group? Well, just about all.

Symptoms

• Being overly boastful, exaggerating one's own achievements
• Pretending to be superior to others
• Lack of empathy for others
• Looking down on others as inferior
• Monopolizing conversations
• Impatient, angry, unhappy, depressed or has mood swings when criticized
• Easily disappointed when expected importance is not given
• Always craves for “the best” in everything
• Has a very fragile self- esteem

That said, I am no fan of Trump, nor do I vote Republican any longer. I just don't look at Democrats as any better, just a different side of the same coin. I voted for West this time around for giggles.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Biden is now leading in MI, WI, and AZ.

GA, PA, and NC still very much in play.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Meh, if we've collectively decided that the quality of our person is determined by loudness of voice, we deserve to burn.

Whatever happened to speak softly and carry a big stick?

That's for after the victory. The Democrats need to think about winning, and Joe is much better than Hillary for overall appeal, but in the end the EC determines the winner. Democrats appeal to the smarter portion of the population but as someone once said- If an IQ of one hundred is the average then half of the population is dumb, or something to that effect.

What Democrats need is someone forceful. Pete might be that choice, but if we need a yeller, then we need a yeller. That does not mean mindless, but this vote illustrates that the basic nature of humanity in America is fearfulness and the need for an alpha to protect them. In that sense, the majority is very much the primitive animal of our ancestors. One may be an intellectual but a cult of personality is also needed, regretfully. An FDR or JFK, someone with a projected strength is required and sorely lacking.

Even assuming that this is true, what's your point here?

 

[emperus]

Biden winning Michigan and Wisconsin.

 

[twjr]

Time to go to bed just as Biden took the lead in MI. If I were a betting man I'd put some on a Biden win now. Trump doesn't have many paths for victory left if postal votes keep trending as they are.

Trump is a sociopathic individual who must dominate and destroy that which he cannot own. Even now Trump is trying to do something never seen before in the US, to stop counting ballots and that's because he might not win. Most of what you state is Trump on steroids and I'll be among the first to say that Democrats tend to be overconfident. Trump is a big shark. He doesn't need to be anything but a big shark and people flock to and defend him from whatever he is or does.

If Trump wins then collectively America gets what it deserves and doesn't show the superior quality of Trump, but the weakness of the majority of Americans in the ability to reason beyond their own fears.

 

[K1052]

VBM tallies going to put Biden over the top in WI/MI/PA. The first two will probably be done and called today. PA Friday.

Not a lot Trump can probably do via the courts in that timeframe if that's the case.
