Official Election 2020 Doomsday Thread

[Eris!]

It doesn't matter if Republicans vote extra enthusiastically if there's only enough for 40%. A hyped, cheering 40% doesn't win elections no matter how much energy it has.

If 100% of your 40% shows up and only 50% of their 60% shows up, you win.

REEEE ANGRY WHITE PEOPLE REEEEEE

I dunno, I've seen a number of enthusiastic people at rallies and meetups, white, black, or otherwise. Media fags are desperate to not look like complete morons at this point.

Zero Hedge, for what it is worth, had an article on the subject:

Translation: Biden victory equals more “managed decline” of the United States, with a federalized EU “sharing the burden” against China and Russia.

I wonder...if there is a takeover attempt by the right wing and the military has to fire at armed insurrectionists, will the left demonize Trump for killing Americans?

Are you fucking kidding me? They'd demonize Trump if he petted a fluffy kitten and write 500 shitty articles about how watching cat videos on the internet is radicalizing people into white supremacists

Libertarians ran a weak candidate

Thats one of the reasons why Trump has so good chances.
They could have given McAfee a chance. he could have flipped the bathsalt belt with his ads...

You know, it's funny. I'm not going to defend Armstrong's actions, but after nine years of watching this insanity play out, I've realized that this scene in particular all comes down to how you interpret the word "weak". If he means it in the same way Raiden does, those without the means to defend themselves, then he's a crazy authoritarian monster. On the other hand, if he's still speaking of the same limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats, the beltway pansies that he shows such disdain for, then the whole message flips on its head.

I guess what I'm saying is that when I quote Armstrong these days, I no longer do it ironically.

I'm old enough to remember a time when the L.A. Times wanted the guy they hated the most to win. They knew said guy would provide topical political content they could write or cartoon about. They also had actual standards as to what constituted a story.


"Four more years!" Reagan '84.

Now the media is full of "true believers" who want to influence shit, and they write the most contrived bullshit imaginable. It's gay.

Write late if already know:

The list includes ABC News, AP, CNN, CBS News, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News and NBC News — all outlets that experts agree have verified, unbiased decision desks calling election

Twitter names 7 outlets to call election results

Twitter on Monday provided more details about its policies around tweets that declare election results, and it named the seven outlets it will lean on to help it determine whether a race is officially called.

Driving the news: The list includes ABC News, AP, CNN, CBS News, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News and NBC News — all outlets that experts agree have verified, unbiased decision desks calling elections.

Our thought bubble: Some conservatives have alleged that Twitter is biased against them. In the past few weeks, data from the Stanford Cable TV Analyzer shows that Fox News has discussed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Big Tech censorship at length.

Fox News' Decision Desk is considered very authoritative and is highly respected among media and politics insiders. By including Fox News' decision desk in this list, Twitter is saying that it believes its decision desk is verified and legitimate.
Details: Twitter previously said that it would require either an announcement from state election officials or a public projection from at least two authoritative, national news outlets that make independent calls about the race before letting tweets about the results go by unlabeled.

If one of the seven outlets tweets from its main handle a result before another outlet from the group of seven confirm it, Twitter won't label that tweet.
If a reporter or any Twitter user tweets a result without citing one of the select outlets for its decision, that tweet may be labeled.
The Twitter will label will say, "Official sources may not have called the race when this tweeted. Find out more." That label will link to Twitter's curated elections information hub.
The big picture: Axios' Jonathan Swan reported on Sunday that President Trump has told confidants he'll declare victory on Tuesday night if it looks like he's "ahead" in the polls, even if the outcome is not yet determined.

Tech platforms have introduced an array of rules and protocols around premature claims of victory on election night, given the unusual nature of this year's election.

Why the fuck do Media corporations have the right to call elections anyway? It’s the job of the Electoral College. Let them announce it.

Even assuming Biden grabs PA at this point, he still has a fairly uphill fight with the rest of the Rust Belt to win. Granted that's mainly because I don't see AZ, TX, NC, GA, or FL going blue for him either.

Biden Rust Belt Win:


Trump win even if Biden has PA:

DDHQ tends to get a lot of races earlier than others due to its big volunteer network. I'm surprised it wasn't booted out of the list due to its origins over at Ace of Spades.

I don't think that the resulting salt will be as bad as 2016. If Donald loses, there will be a handful of sites (most notably TheDonald.win) with cope, but if Donald wins, there will be people crying about Biden/Harris fucked everything up, and Twitter/FB explodes again.

2016 was a game changer. The narrative was that Bad, Bad Donald Trump would be defeated by Hillary Clinton, as Madame President takes up her throne, and there would be the narrative of how Trump ruined the Republican ticket with "racism", nationalism, and populism.

I'm old enough to remember a time when the L.A. Times wanted the guy they hated the most to win. They knew said guy would provide topical political content they could write or cartoon about. They also had actual standards as to what constituted a story.

Yeah, no kidding. Trump has given the Left so much content to create, jokes to make, things to complain about, that deep down I think they really wanted it in the end.

Trump wins, congrats! They have material for four years longer, and any media empire that is halfway profitable will run with it.

And if Biden wins, it's going to prove that the Democrats could put Hitler or Stalin in the hot seat and not lose a single vote because of it.

Whatever happens, we will at least have dodged a Bernie Fucking Sanders presidency with AOC in the cabinet.
