Weren't polls more accurate for the 2018 midterms? Could be the Trump factor leaning things in his favor during presidential elections.

holy shit youre actually just this dense. He never called a confirmed victory. He said the path looks like we'll have the 270 to win. Go rewatch it and troll somewhere else, this is got old fast.

He said "We have 270, but we wont declare win." Ok. At the same time Trump said "As far as I'm concerned I'm winning" and the media had a meltdown. One is opinion another is stating a false fact... I will leave it to you to decide which one is what.

Nope, literally said he won as far as he was concerned.
And before the mail in stuff was properly touched.
Add to that trumps demand to stop counting and only a deaf and blind person could not tell the difference between the statements

Shoul I link the video to you again ?
Trump said word for word : "We think that voting should stop.". Completely different from "stop the counting". Can you stop building your narative ? Your guy is already likely to win, no need to lie anymore.


Here is the reality.

Trump (loosely) declared victory and it is looking like he is going to lose, and by a lot of EC. When he declared it, the models showed he was likely to lose as more of the votes were counted. He did so after planting seeds for months about election fraud and other BS.



Biden (loosely) declared after projections show him winning and AP has declared almost enough EC votes as needed along with more then enough leaning strongly in his direction. He is likely to win. He told people leading up that it was going to be a free and fair election and to be patient. He was and waited until late in the afternoon the following day when it was clear.

If you can't see the differences, I feel like you are controlled by your biases or simply ignorant to the facts.

It’s the difference between declaring when 2-1 up in a bo9 and when 5-2 up in a bo9.

I'm still looking at the results... Still no 270. I always tought that facts are binary. Something happened or not... Not in USA after 2016. 253 is 270 if it fits our narative, right ?

Yeah, ok. You're just an idiot. The fact that you expect those two statements to be equivalent is fucking hilarious.

Of course I am. Everyone that doesn't agree with us is, right ? Am I racist, too ?

I mean you brought it up but yeah, probably.

I just don't understand how you can be embarrassed to say you are going to vote for someonr and have to hide it in shame but still do it anyway. How do you cognitively process that and not have your brain explode.

I dunno, I don't think shy Trump effect explains these polling errors well. I mean, there's nothing shy about going to places tabulating votes and shouting "stop the count."

My dude you just tried to imply a Trump recount in Wisconsin is gonna flip 20k votes.

I'm trying to imply that facts actually matter.
Does Biden actually have 270 on the board ? No. So he called a win prematurely.

Except he did not call a win, he said he was confident that after all the votes will have been tallied, he would be the victor and that they liked their position in Pennsylvania. Only thing he erred a bit on was saying he flipped Arizona (note the past tense), when I feel it's tense.

Did he say he won ? He did not.
And yesterday Trump said "we had won" I believe. Meaning he didn't anymore :-p

McConnell has already signaled that the Senate will take up stimulus first thing it reconvenes next week, so if Trump loses and Republicans at large stop fellating him, there's good odds that Congress can force a stimulus through over Trump's veto. It's not a slam dunk by any means, but Trump lame ducking the shit out of everything may not win the day.


I think things will get done, once it is official Reps are going to start separating themselves from him and start worrying about the next election. Some even did in the days leading up. Trump is likely only going to get wackier and more extreme which will only push those with questions further away.


Thats not entirely fair. There was no good way to handle it,its a lose lose event.
Though there are some governments in europe who did pretty much the same as the usa and who have held on to their popularity or even increased it. Trumps strongest point was the economy and the pandemic did counter that,the economic damage would have been there no matter how he did handle it.


I think you are proving my point. Those governments in Europe showed leadership instead of, what ever it was that the Donald showed, I guess random inaccurate tweeting's, with no transparency and responses ranging from mis information to complete lies.

The numbers could have ended up similar and his popularity could have grown, much like Europe, and some of the states governors. That is fell is a direct indication that more people thought he did a bad job then thought he did a good one.


Hmm yes i can see your point. Another difference is that in europe the majority of the media is generally supporting the government in their approach,at least thus far. In the usa it was much more split where specially cnn couldnt resist pointing out all the flaws in the handling of the pandemic though i am not sure how relevant that actually is as most republicans probably watch fox over cnn.
In some ways the polarization backfired on trump. When it comes to the pandemic at least. If the country was less divided it would maybe have made a smaller impact.

Nevada will count their votes today, expect a Nevada result later. Biden could theoretically win the election tonight.

So, uh, Trump just tweeted that he is "claiming" NC, GA, and PA. Claiming PA in particular betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how numbers work.

We all know Trump has very loud vocal minority that supports him. I dont think those are the ones though that are throwing polls out of wack. This is the 35% that would still vote for him even if went and shot Obama at his house.

Let's be fair, I'm pretty sure they would vote for him harder if he went and did that

Unfortunately Nevada is being super cagey about when and how they'll disclose, and it's tough to say much beyond "the outstanding vote probably favors Biden but we need to see some numbers from Vegas to confirm." It sounds like they might actually say something tonight, though, instead of tomorrow.

Yep, something to do with how interesting the results will be and how many people want to see them so they decided to move it ahead.
