I decided to experiment a bit on how states will be called on election night, and I looked at 538 for their projections on how many votes will be counted. While 538 is garbage at their polls this I feel could be more accurate. I used 270towin to then simulate which states will be called on election night and which ones are taking awhile to count as most of the vote won't be counted in certain states. For the ones where most of the vote will be counted on election night or all the votes counted, I decided to make them likely or lean for most of the votes on which candidate I feel will win the state while for the states with all the votes counted I marked them as safe.

Yellow = Less than most of the votes will be counted on election night
Likely or Leans Red/Blue = States where most of the vote will be counted
Safe Red/Blue = All the votes counted
Toss-Up: Michigan and Wisconsin where most of the votes will be counted but I am unsure who will win them

While it may be biased of me to put NH as a leaning towards Trump state it's due to how the gap between Trump and Clinton was in 2016 as well as how Biden did very poorly in the democrat primary in that state where he only made fifth place. Maine's Second District is due to more Trump enthusiasm, but it could swing to Biden so I should've put it to leans like I did with Iowa.

Minnesota is likely going for Biden as the state never went red since 1972 and even sided with Mondale in 1984's Reagan landslide (though it probably factored more to the homefield advantage Mondale had).

At this point I believe Florida is pretty much a lock for Trump based on how the state has done politically since 2014 and has consistently shifted towards the right from 2014 to now, and the early voting is favoring Trump.

I am not going to count out a Biden win however because I do believe Wisconsin and Michigan are toss-ups while Pennsylvania can go both ways.

Trump's already got the wheels slowly turning on that one. Withholding federal funding from anyone that promotes critical race theory and intersectionality will do a lot to correct the issues in education and have knockdown effects on corporate culture as well.

That only applies if you are soft and partially purge them, allowing the survivors to reconstitute and infest stronger than ever. It's been the downfall of most rightwing dictatorships. They halfass purge, the country begins to improve, but they get complacent, their merciful nature lets most leftists survive, and they inevitably reinfect the institutions and usually end up seizing more power than they had originally because of their rally cry of victimhood.

Rightwing regimes purge in the low tens of thousands and usually last a decade at most before they are toppled. Leftwing regimes purge in the hundreds of thousands at the absolute low end and go from there. As a result they last decades no matter how inept they universally are at running their countries.

Then those hardcore purgers become so divorced from reality that they turn into Mao or Pol Pot and collapse the economy, with no-one left to question them.

Though barring wrongthink from certain professions was rather effective at maintaining Anglican dominance in England without screwing over the country too badly, so if you started firing or reshuffling the Yvette Felarca types in school administration and teacher's colleges that might work. That said, there's a reason why the US wanted to get away from that kind of bullshit.

I had to double check it wasn't the Bee posting this, the decisions made by the campaign marketing people continue to baffle me. Why would they think that fortnite of all games would be the best place to this, animal crossing I could somewhat get given the kind of people that gravitate towards the new game, but fortnite really?

This reeks of desperation to somehow increase the youth vote. It's entertaining to see the difference in reactions off twitter between Dem shills and gamers, so much fake excitement from the former with the latter using the chance to meme at how cringy it is.

I honestly don't think they thought much beyond "what's the most popular video game on Twitch?" League of Legends is probably "too uncool" and Among Us is too new.

I also like to think they are catering to Democrats that are giant manchildren. The downside to that is that even of legal age they are too lazy to vote.

Honestly I was doubting that Trump would win around July after the COVID outbreak but holy fucking shit. Biden's campaigning has been so fucking shit that I think Trump might win the battleground states and snatch this election, thats besides the fact that we'll probably wait weeks until the mail-in votes come in, and there will be some cheeky shit going in those, like who in the right fuck trusts USPS when they cant even deliver your fragile marked shit in one piece? I would rather go out there and vote early or vote on election day, since some states allow that. Eitherway here is my prediction on the final results map, might change if some actual interference in the election happens, and the dems try to call that it was legit even though they cried for 4 whole years about Russians meddling with the 2016 election, since they cant understand that not everything you want in life happens in your favor. Expect a Bush - Gore recount boogaloo happening, but this time its Orange Man Bad! vs Cmon Man Guy.

I'll eat a whole lemon with a pile of salt if Trump wins MN.

Why purge the left when they'll destroy themselves for free?

When will they destroy themselves? without using violence to forcefully remove them from society, the oldest SJWs from generation zoomer will exist until 2100, not even taking into account generation alpha. If you want to get rid of the marxist menace you start with the children because they are the future, millennials and those older than them scarcely change their beliefs.

To be fair, I think this election was still 50-50 until the second debate.

It really can't be underestimated just how much that second debate Biden self-immolated.

Between accidentally letting it slip that Biden would "transfer" the entire oil industry, to flat out stating he will lock down the country again the moment a scientist tells him too (especially with what's happened in Europe the last 2-3 days).

I think Trump took the lead after the second debate and that lead has been growing ever since.

Didn't AOC play Among Us a little while ago? There seems to be a recent trend of Democrats trying to appear as the cool hip party but a lot of the pandering doesn't come off as genuine, almost as bad as their attempts to meme.

All this focus on games makes me believe even more that one day we'll actually get Trump mentioning GamerGate. I'm still waiting for the minecraft playthrough with Barron showing Trump the ropes, have some family bonding while building a Trump Tower.

So, has Trump secured the Reddit vote just now?

My god, this is so relevent to the only person I know who plays Fortnite religiously.

My mate's 8 year old.

All jokes aside, it feels like that Rich Evans sleazy producer voice.

"What's the young people into these days? The Fortnights? Let's go do a thing for the fortnights, yerrr."

It's another attempt at getting da yoof to turn up and vote, because something like 53% of Fortnites player base is 10-25 in age range.

I've said it before, but the DNC should have learned that neither the youth vote nor Twitter matter when Bernie got BTFO twice. Or for that matter when Hillary lost to Trump.
