Biden is already starting to receive briefings for the state of the country. Looks like their camp is really confident for the results, which they should be.

Democrats really need to understand that most voters are low information voters and just don't care about knowing anything that takes longer than 10 seconds to explain. Their entire Coronavirus policy could have been "elect us and we'll force Big Pharma to release the cure". Talking about masks and R0 and lockdowns and so forth is a big turnoff for anyone who doesn't care about pandemics and the people who care about pandemics already know that shit.

Going forwards all policies should
1) Reduce a problem to an extremely basic issue
2) Describe a common sense fix for that issue
3) Make it uncontroversial
4) Make it short enough to fit on a bumper sticker

But they do not need to be in any way meaningful.

For example the new Democratic policy on abortion should be
"Killing of babies is wrong and if elected we will end the killing of babies".

The key component to this policy is that it doesn't in any way address the question of abortion because babies have already been born. Under no circumstances should that be addressed, if in doubt repeat the policy.

On foreign policy the policy should be
"Be strong and defeat our enemies #cowards"


Sadly I don't think that's far off the mark. Seems like a fundamental weakness of democracy where the vote of a total ignoramus has the same weight as someone who puts effort into staying informed.


I think Winston Churchill said something like "The best argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter"

But he also said "Democracy is by far the worst form of government. If you disregard all others"


Just checked, he didn't, but the quote is great!

One more update to PA:

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.

Where the hell do you get your numbers from ?
I see Philadephia county at 82% reporting with already +380k votes for Biden. Are you talking about the city itself ?

My brain farted hard. My numbers are off, add 200k to all the numbers haha.

So yes, you're right, Philly is +370k, I expected Biden to win by +500k in Philly. Sorry about that. I've been reducing and simplfying numbers to myself.

Idk, feels like there’s nobody more likely to lose than a confident Democrat. I still think Biden has this but I wouldn’t put much stock in his campaign’s projected confidence.

I mean the numbers are clear. Biden has practically won Nevada, and the PA numbers are bound to flip PA soon when Philly dump comes in. Biden is looking like a +200k vote in PA at this moment.

Still a better network than the AP.

After Trump's lead disappears in PA, how long do you think it will take those protesters to swap from chanting "stop the count" to "count the votes"?

538 update that Biden just needs 60% of the remaining vote to win the state. He is currently winning 3:1 or 75%. If the 75% line holds, Biden is projected to win 272k votes, leading to roughly a 170k victory. Philly votes still should be closer to 80/20, even 90/10.

Oh, totally. The numbers definitely look that way, didn’t mean to imply otherwise

Decision Desk is now actually behind NYT somehow, but here's the latest updates from them.

According to their last update, the new votes that came in were +1.5k for Trump, +5k for Biden. This is a 77% gain for Biden, still holding to that 3:1 vote line that has been showing ever since the early vote started coming in.

I really wish I betted because I was predicting a Biden 306-232 Trump nailbiter that would go down to Arizona and the Rust Belt, and so far it's developing like that.

I'm curious what the winning condition is for betting markets. Like if Trump did manage to pull off some faithless elector scheme, would he be the winner by betting market standards?

When certain news networks call it. Every sport book has different criteria for which one.

I think they're worded to dodge around that; all the bets will be paid out long before then, as well.

I think Australia actually already closed bets and paid out.
