It's infuriating to watch these retard "journalists(?)" on MSM outlets go on and on about how terrible of a president Trump is and how he's divided this country. They really do love to say that.

If anyone has divided the country, it's exactly the MSM. The race baiting, the fear mongering, the non-stop shit talking about Trump. It's always something, it never ends. Many Americans watch CNN, ABC, MSNBC, etc. and think they're getting the news when in all actuality, they're being brainwashed if they haven't completely been already.

These so-called news channels have completely gone off the rails and have absolutely no self awareness. I just listened to this old bag bring up that bullshit story about Trump insulting veterans and how they're losers for getting injured (that's not even a good or believable story) and she even acknowledged that it came from an anonymous source but that didn't change the fact that he said it. WHAT.

None are unlikely, in fact most are more than likely. NV looks set, so MI and WI make a win. Anything Penn = win. All those would match the expected pre election results. NC and GA are more wildcards, but not even needed now that AZ is in the books.
People with money on the line are still 2/3 Trump. I doubt Biden is coming back in Georgia or North Carolina, so it'll come down to whether Trump can hold his lead in PA/WI/MI.
Is there something I'm missing from both of you. According to this https://www.peoplespunditdaily.com/elections/live-results-2020-us-presidential-election MI has 71-80% votes counted and WI > 99%. They are at 52% and 51% for Trump respectively. Both seem to be settled for Trump therefore, no? The way I'm reading it if NV and AZ go for Biden as they seem to be, then Biden still has to get PA to win. Getting any of the other undeclared states except possibly Alaska, seems unlikely. I'm reading these results right, yes?


I don't think the country can handle too many elections like this before things really start to fall apart in terms of decreased security and poor economic performance. The socio-economic and polictial divisions are growing and unless the US gov't can get a handle on the active sedition and corruption that's occurring things won't soon improve. There's a difference between protesting and monkey wrenching the system with the goal of overthrowing the government - yet the media has people so worked up and turned around that the otherwise obvious line between peaceful protest and riot is obscured for many people. The problem, imo, stems from corruption on all sides in government and industry (e.g., corporate media). The only difference between the USA and a place like Vietnam or Mexico when it comes to corruption is that Americans cost more and are better at disguising it. Rooting out the poor quality people from government is next to impossible so I'm not sure how the problem could ever be solved in time, but I think it's probably one of the first steps required if one wanted to make America great again.
If Trump remains president then I hope a big focus of his second term will be shoring up democratic processes and rules to protect against subversion of democracy in the future. The American people don't trust their media, they don't trust electoral process and they don't trust their intelligence agencies. And sadly, evidence exists to show they're right on all these fronts. Trump can't make everything great, but if he can help fix the institutions then those who follow him might.

Well in many countries, the candidate who wins the most votes wins, so why shouldn't that be the case in America?
Aside from historical reasons - that it wouldn't be the agreement under which independent states agree to form a political union, it would likely lead to most of America feeling disenfranchised. The president of the entire union would be elected by New York and California. If you see the individual unit of democracy as the person and you probably do then sure, popular vote makes sense. But the founders, any many others, view the unit of democracy to be communities. Consider that, there is merit to viewing it as such. After all, one community dominating all the others leads to a total breakdown - those communities will rightly want out. They will, rightly, see no reason for participation. A country is an arbitrary thing so why should community X consider themselves to be grouped in with community Y if they have no control. Electoral College is a way of resolving that problem - it says communities are allowed to exist.

Remember when she tried to shrug off criticism by saying it was all a joke? What's the joke Kathy?
The joke is that one on the left is still the looker.
Sorry for asking again but the internet is so full of outrage that there's no real answer: is everyone but Pennsylvania still counting votes?
PA is still counting. As fast as they can fill them in.
 
The divide between rural areas and cities is so hilariously stark that we may as well do something like that.

Is there even a single conservative US city?
