Too late now. It’s a done deal. She already voted. Maybe you should have followed Yazata’s advice, eh?

And my response to that stands. Only a fool would think that they have the power to persuade where people seek out echo chambers, like science forums.

I’m against defunding the police and riots. You don’t have to be pro-Trump to be against these things.

You do if you want them stopped. If you're against them but don't want them stopped, then you have some soul searching to do.

I don’t like how Trump handled the pandemic. It’s why we have so much division - the confused messages between the WH and state governors. But if you’re strong for Trump, you’ll see that differently.

So the division is on Trump, not the Democrat governors playing politics? 9_9

Even though most of those governors said Trump and the federal government gave them all the help they needed and asked for? And Trump wasn't the fascist the left makes him out to be, and let them handled their own states?
I doubt you have any real clue how Trump handled the pandemic, outside of mainstream media narratives. Check out deaths per million of population here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

If it were Trump's handling, the highest wouldn't be in so many Democrat-run states.

I don’t like this two party monopoly, either.

Tough. It is what it is....unless the Democrat party fails enough to disintegrate into parties catering to the far left and moderate wings. But then, without that coalition, they won't be winning many national elections.

I wonder how you will feel about your vote if it turns out a historical percent of minorities vote for Trump?

If Biden wins, do you all think that there will be less friction between the two parties? It seems that Trump had an uphill battle from the moment he took office.

The right hasn't moved. It's the left's move to the extreme left that has been the entire cause of the division, no matter how much they try to blame Trump. And the proof is that the median left is now further left from Obama than Obama was from the right in 2008. And if Biden wins (not happening), he, or very shortly Harris, will have to pander to the far left, lest they be eaten by it. They've already agreed with defunding the police, and if they don't, the resultant rioting will prove that Trump didn't cause the riots under his watch.

Interesting, Syne. But remember...the media has been referring to Trump as a dictator for the past four years, so to many on the left, he is very far right. It all becomes subjective after a while (to the individual voters), you know? (despite facts that tell the accurate story)

Anyway, if this election outcome gets decided in the courts, it shows that the process isn’t working as it should.

Good morning. Waiting to catch a plane home, Vancouver Int’l is so clean & antiseptic looking that it’s glistening.

Anyway, I think should any impropriety arise from Mail in vote count that the entire process should be scratched. Any doubt to its credibility should be enough. Too bad that a Biden win(?) is going to the Supreme Court. Will Biden use the courts if he ends up losing?

[Leigha]

Agree, Z. Hard to say if Biden doesn’t get the electoral votes, if he would concede graciously or have the courts hash it out. Trump most likely will get the courts involved if things don’t add up (literally).

It’s definitely suspicious that all votes coming in from mail-in ballots in MI this morning, are going to Biden. lol

Biden 243 Trump 214.
I'm having a Janice "Oh my God." moment.

No doubt the legacy media has swayed more votes than Russia ever dreamed of.
Yeah, while Florida has learned how to run an election, after Bush v. Gore, it's a boondoggle in many states...including Nevada suspending vote counting until Thursday for some god forsaken reason and Michigan continuing to count votes after they claimed they were quitting for the night.

At the very least, early votes should be counted first, like in Florida and Arizona (which has been called for Biden, at only 84% reporting, were Trump only has top win 54% of teh in-person vote to win).

It’s definitely suspicious that all votes coming in from mail-in ballots in MI this morning, are going to Biden. lol

Not really, as everyone expected mail-in votes to heavily favor Democrats. The suspicious part is the lack of transparency.

Not over yet, and there's still a clear path for a Trump win...even assuming Wisconsin and Michigan ultimately go to Biden.

[Secular Sanity]

Biden has to win Nevada but there’s still a chance that Arizona might be taken away from him, too. He’s 93,000 ahead but what…only like 86% have been counted, right?

My son called me and was worried that his vote might have been cancelled. I don’t know if it was just a rumor but everyone was saying that only the Republican counties were handed sharpies. They’re saying that the Attorney General looked into and it’s okay.

Complaints of Sharpies Being Used in Maricopa County

Oh, shit…nail biter, that's for damn sure. I’m stressing.

If Biden wins, I wonder what we should do before he takes over. 

[Leigha]

I’d like to know why certain counties and states were permitted to pause counts? And can Trump find answers in a timely manner through the lawsuits he’s filing?
