California, NY, NJ still have a ton of vote outstanding that will continue to push the popular vote. That being said, the polls are still wrong, they had Biden near +8-10, he looks like he'll only be at +4. PA is on track to report all their votes by tonight. Same with Georgia and Arizona. Nevada and NC are the runt of the states at this point. Expect every news station to call PA once Biden is shown a lead. | ||

I talked a lot about Philly last night and the impact on Trump needing to hold some form of line before the Philly vote started coming in. When Philly was at 70% reporting, Biden had a 120k vote lead. It is now 83% with Biden having a 170k lead. Expect this vote margin to balloon to almost 300k, that's another 130k, which is already enough to push Biden over the top. If there was an NYT needle on PA, it would be at 95%+ right now. | ||

GA and PA are the ones doing this properly, report as you go, count every vote non-stop. Nevada is like the weird isolated kid. | ||

72,444,480 votes (50.4%) Biden 68,896,526 votes (48%) Trump Its amazing that after 4 years of stoking unrest, going after people that are trying to stave off the pandemic, losing advisers and staff, losing support from US's major allies, on top of the lying and not releasing tax returns and sexual assault allegations... and half the people still vote for Trump. | ||

https://twitter.com/marklevinshow/status/1324406883600506880?s=21 Doesn’t seem too mainstream on the right yet? But that’s definitely where we can start to enter “failed state” territory. | ||

People arent primarily voting for a person theyre voting for what their party represents. If Im a Rand Paul libertarian republican why would I vote for the Democrats no matter how much Trump sucks? You see the same with Democrats. | ||

I'm starting to think that the media sources that the world uses to peer into the US didn't entirely catch on to how well Trump's messaging was resonating with rural voters and a surprising amount of black and hispanic people. The GOP actually diversified their coalition under Trump of all presidents, which has me wondering if his economic policies reached out very well to the low and low-middle class of all races, on top of Biden not exciting Latinos anywhere near Clinton's levels. | ||

Now that they're losing, their fascist side shines bright like a diamond. | ||

I feel like there is a lot of disinformation, ignorance, and blind partisanship going on. Voters still get led into believing that Trump would be good for the economy, or that Biden is a corrupt radical socialist. The misinformation is especially worrying. I overheard my roommate last night spouting off some right-wing conspiracy theories about the election, like how Biden is cheating with ballot stuffing, the suspiciousness of Trump winning the Florida Latino vote but not elsewhere (he likely didn't know about the Cuban vote), or how he didn't believe Kamala Harris was a natural-born citizen. I didn't want to confront him over all that, but there is a lot of BS poisoning the average voter. | ||
