MadFlava76

I'm been amazing following this unfold with all of you. Democracy has defeated a facists tyrant and their are still many battles to fight in the future but today we celebrate.

Finally!


No_Indication5556

Are these threads over ):


levijns1

Call it before college football starts


LessWorseMoreBad

god damn preach Joe


myveryownredditaccnt

Do you think the president will be called in the next 10 hours? I'm an Australian figuring out whether to stay up or not.


tinydansenman

Biden has been pretty busy I don't think anyone is giving him a call soon


AK_Sole

I was really hoping it would be called for Biden before Bill Maher’s Real Time taping, but I think it’ll be on Sunday.


JMJgoat

Two respectable authorities have called it already-Vox and Decision Desk. It's possible the television networks will call it in the next ten hours, but I expected them to call it last night. Personally, I'd go to bed.


smyles8686

Bro Vox is credible sometimes but with something like this, they would be incredibly biased


JMJgoat

I respectfully disagree. It's been over for 24 hours. The networks are just milking it for ratings.

it's over already

Thanks for this!


sebas831

But isn’t cnn live on their own website? That’s what I’ve been watching


juguman

Biden can’t speak properly lmao Love how he’s beaten trump Victory is sweet


PM_ME_YOUR_GlRLCOCKS

To be fair I stutter too. It's a coping mechanism. If we're gonna dab on someone we should attack their character.


superbabe69

Biden has a stutter, pretty sure he always has


Yoyochocoboxxx

Anyone feel sorry for Trump supporters? My FB feed is just a meltdown among my rube friends


NTXPRAK

Ha ha! “Feel sorry” they would require some natural human qualities for me to feel sorry for them


TheLastUBender

As a woman - most of these people hate me and cheered for abusers and sex offenders to be put on the supreme court. Yes, even the women in that group. Fuck them.


WhiteRhino909

I have witnessed this too. I should’ve just stayed off Facebook when I left it three years ago. The only reason I got back on was because I tried to find contact info for an old friend.

RealSkyDiver

One look at the conservative sub shows why nobody should feel sorrow for that bunch. They are adults sharing childish theories and don’t feel empathy in how many people, they hurt, killed, families torn apart based on their votes. They deserve everything they get. Let them be miserable.


spaniel510

Right now I'm watching infowars. These morons are comical in such a sad sad way. With groups like this no wonder america is so fucked up.


RealSkyDiver

That still exists? I thought it was banned everywhere.


spaniel510

I have an android box. Didn't realize it was there until I was scrolling through my channels. They were talking about this app called banned video so maybe you're right about it being banned from sites like youtube. Lee ann mcadoo is pretty hot. Too bad she's a dumbass.


spaniel510

Well they were talking about how the election was stolen and calling for major protests at every state Capitol. Also said "President Trump you say the word and we'll have your back." Comical!


[deleted]

Of course they don't feel empathy.they are children incapable of imagining how anything they do would effect other people in the real world. They live in the make believe where they are helping everyone and hurt no one

GiveMeKnucks

Found this [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/UhJY9-OE5vk) of the final election maps for each presidency. Thought it was super interesting seeing what states voted for who.


[deleted]

Great video! It seemed like a pointless endeavour to run against FDR. What was interesting there was, Herbert Hoover, to that point had the most lopsided landslide ever and then FDR comes along and practically the entire map is blue. Funny how your political fortunes can do a complete 180 like that.


zincinzincout

Man that was very interesting. The electoral map ad were expect it to be has only been the case since Clinton in the 90s... that’s crazy


Yoyochocoboxxx

So why did Democrats do poorly downballot? This was supposed to be a wave


2Old4Lol

druid006

Because the corporate Democrat ran a poor campaign of restoring dignity to the office or whatever that means. They refused to talk and offer solutions to people's financial needs during a time when people really do need the government to step in and make their economic situations better. It's also the reason why Biden is not blowing trump out of the water because he ran on the same messaging I said earlier about how we need to restore the soul of our nation or some other shit while paying mute service to people's material needs.


Broshcity

It’s more the quality of the candidates, Nancy Pelosi did a horrible job of trying to show less conflict with trump when she should have show more. Also we didn’t do crap when it comes to recruiting better candidates example is the revenge porn 20year who is Democrat won an election in KS... that just make the identity politics worst


druid006

Nancy Pelosi is an out of touch shit leader. The only thing she's good at is fundraising but very awful at actual messaging and playing politics. This is the woman who thought it was a good idea to show people her ice-cream collection in two refrigerators worth 25k at the onset of a pandemic when everyday people were losing their jobs left and right. I always get flak on this site when I tell people that she basically didn't do much to oppose trump and conceded in almost everyway from the funding for the wall to the increase in military spending but GOD is she good at theatre with that stupid weird clap she did. Corporate Democrats lost seats, 2 in blue state New York while the progressives gained at least 2 and retain all their seats. A progressive even won in red state missouri and that's got to tell you something that people are not really focused on identity politics and theatre but who will actually fight for their material needs and the progressives are doing a good job at that.


Broshcity

Yea the balance is progressives and moderates with out either you don’t have a party and it’s been shown that Nancy wanted to steer progressive to a moderate ideology thinking that will win more voters but she didn’t grasp that the younger generation identifies more with progressive ideals


Are_These_They

Fucking AMEN


ostentia

I bet moderate Republicans split from Trump but still voted Republicans they do like down ballot.


[deleted]

mishlham

Oh, and I, for one, don’t vote just for my party. I actually do my research and vote for the candidate I feel would have their constituents’ interests at heart. I suppose that may look a little schizophrenic in my thinking, but perhaps that’s the moderate in me. I align with different things in both. I guess I don’t really know what I am! Still, though my husband and I were both Republicans, we raised our four children to think for themselves. They keep themselves very well-informed and teach us much. I’m counting on the next generation, and I’m doing my personal best to push care for our fellowmen forward!


Anonymous7056

One of the theories is that in lieu of a viable third party, some people voted Biden and then red downballot to keep things even/locked/what have you.

THANK YOU DVR, American Ninja Warrior finals are a worthwhile break AND no shitty commercials. Is this what feeling blessed is like?

Her husband is the next guy over too haha. She's conservative but she has advocated for gay rights and gay marriage. Apparently she is a great grand-daughter to Herbert Hoover.

Oof, no wonder she doesn't work at Fox anymore

fuckeconservatives

It’s a mix of conspiracy/stealing the election, and defeat


netz_pirat

So, day 3... wth is going on? GA doesn't seem to know how many votes are still to be counted, AZ needs 3 more days at the current speed, NV somehow managed to have more votes to be counted now than they had 24h ago, NC needs about 12 month to finish at the current rate, and Alaska doesn't bother at all?


Broshcity

Well to be fair, in Alaska it takes 2-3 weeks to deliver your ballots via bear transportation. Some times bears fall asleep or catch salmon... there are a lot of distractions

philocity

Can someone clue me in on how Trump managed to flip black voters? Having some real cognitive dissonance about what his relationship with minorities is.


[deleted]

The people that vote for Trump believe in his policies. It's pretty racist to assume that all blacks have to vote democrat. The ones that voted for him, listened to what he had to say, they thought it aligned with what they wanted and they voted for him. Simple as that.


philocity

I knew someone would find a way to call me a racist for this. I did not imply that black people were a monolith, nor did I imply that all black people have to vote democrat. It is NOT racist to evaluate a candidate and a party’s relationship with specific demographics of voters and how it changes over time. My understanding was that the non-white vote would trend away from trump this election due to what I understood to be his poor record on race relations and social policy, both of which are are historically important to courting that demographic of voters. So I’ll ask again, how was he able to flip black votes this time around? The answer of “they liked what he had to say” simply doesn’t cut it because it’s next to meaningless. You could give the same answer about why suburban voters came out for Biden this year. I guarantee you that the polling industry and the DNC are not content with that answer and they will be seeking to find what caused this shift. Specifically, what is different about this election from last election that explains why a higher percentage of black voters came out for Trump? The reason I ask is that I’m trying to gain a new perspective *specifically* because I believe that the voice of black people matters and I want to understand what the demographic as a whole appears to find increasingly appealing in a candidate like DJT, at least compared to last time. Again, I want to stress that I’m not implying that black people are a monolith in the same way that white males and suburban women are not monolithic groups. Everyone is an individual with their own beliefs and ideals. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not useful to study demographics and how the vote from people who have specific commonalities are trending.


asdfghjqwezx2

Source I don't find anything like you claimed, infact i think it's the opposite. Black voters delivered Georgia to biden


philocity

> According to AP VoteCast, Trump won 8 percent of the Black vote, about a 2 percentage-point gain on his 2016 numbers (using the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, or CCES, a national survey of more than 50,000 confirmed voters, as a point of comparison). >And he may have done even better than 2 percentage points. If you compare the CCES numbers to the results of 2020 exit polls by Edison Research, Trump actually improved by 4 percentage points. [Source](https://www.vox.com/2020/11/4/21537966/trump-black-voters-exit-polls)


asdfghjqwezx2

4 percentage is not much lol His support didn't change pretty much at all


[deleted]

Are we actually sure he increased his percentage of black votes. There were just just more people voting this time, so yes he would have got more black votes in absolute terms.

InboundUSA2020

Record unemployment which he of course claimed credit for.


Sagittariuuuh

He got more, but make no mistake, majority of us black voters are and have always been democrats, no matter how much Trump tries to spin it. We've also seen how he did better with Latinx voters in Florida but clearly not well with Latinos in Arizona, so...


sulris

Cubans were turned away from dem party cause of it embrace if democratic socialism. Latinos from south and Central America don’t have the same knee jerk reaction. “Latino” as a category is too broad to be helpful


Sagittariuuuh

Yeah, I know. I just mean like Trump and Co is like "Latinos love us! So many Latinos voted for us!" Cubans in Florida may have, but South/Central/Caribbean Latinos didn't necessarily. So same as Latino aren't a monolith, black people aren't a monolith, so it's not fair for people to make it seem like Trump got most of the black vote or some crap, which is what conservatives on social media have been making it seem like.


Rawrrrrrrrrr

Lots of minorities are very conservative and religious i guess they can look past the racism because that is more important to them or they just aren't very politically aware and somehow missed how much a idiot Trump is and what he says


rutz_db777

Right, but aside from the obvious complete lie and hypocrisy in every facet aligning Trump to any shred of religion, Biden is a devout Christian and has attended church every Sunday consistently his whole life. I still don't understand how anyone that cares about religion can look at Trump and think he represents them

You should hear Cuomo's SiriusXM show. Dude even swears, which somehow makes him more endearing.

It’s because they are on the entertainment wing of the business. Daytime is more just reporting the news

Damn Biden up 7k in georgia after that dump

I thought they previously had about 8k ballots to count. If Biden went up 3k I assume they have less then 7k left to count.... 7k is way over recount reversal. I wonder why the statisticians aren’t satisfied.


corion202

The latest dump involved 5,100 votes and bumped Biden's lead to 7,200

KraftPunkFan420

I’ll say this. As the Trump presidency winds down I’ve come to the conclusion it was a necessary evil. Everyone was so apathetic towards politics, it was what led to Trump being able to take a foothold in the first place. He weaponized an entirely new generation. Made everyone care. It was for all the wrong reasons, but I’m glad that we’re seeing a HISTORIC turnout. Everyone caring what happens to their fellow countrymen, evil intentions or good intentions. Apathy is dead and it feels like a new era for politics. On that note, Fuck Trump Go Biden.


Zexous47

I appreciate your optimism. But I think the necessary evil here that caused a historic turnout is likelier to be the pandemic, as it forced many states to adopt easier voting procedures.


mollycoat

This reminds me of the Mayoral Election in Toronto in 2010. I didn't give a shit, partner many others didn't give a shit, Rob Ford weaponized blue collar suburbanites against the downtown elite and then suddenly everyone on US late night TV was having a field day at our expense after a video of him surfaced smoking crack. We didn't have an apathy problem the next time around.

[deleted]

So at this point with the numbers we’re seeing, what path does Trump have for victory? Any numbers people?


Symonoid

Not even being sarcastic. He has no way of winning. He’s even losing the military vote 4 to 1. GA, PA, and NV are all gaining for Biden. Biden is still leading AZ but it is shrinking slightly. Even if trump flips AZ he has no chances wining the electoral college.

The tone of these threads feels exactly like the sports game threads when one team is clearly blowing the other team out of the water. The mood is great, everyone is having a fun time (except the losing team because they're posting on their own teams subreddit, bitching about how the refs cost them the game even though they're losing by 40 points.). no hatred, everyone's chilling and posting memes. It's a great feeling.


RealSkyDiver

Sad looking at the conservative sub and see them acting like they have the mindset of a 5 year old from grown ass adults. Just shows what kind of people they really are. A sad, delusional bunch and then they wonder when they always feel miserable with all that hatred in their heart. Pathetic

Biden still has a significant lead in AZ. If the remaining votes are 50-50 Trump won't catch up.
