I’m glad that even with a Biden win Democrats have managed to find a way to blame Progressives/Progressive policy.

For an operation that was pre-planned for months - Endless complaining about mail-in ballots / Slowing down the postal system / Denying states from counting mail-in votes early, thus insuring the democrat favoring votes being counted late - All to create the false idea of legally casted democrat votes being fraud, it doesn't feel like the payoff is good with this sad speech.
I wonder which strategist thought it out.

How is it convincing to make claim after claim while providing no evidence at all? It's not someone giving a sermon on religion, he is making very serious allegations without evidence.

Of course the media pointing out the obvious lies will not convince a single person that didn't already know that they are obvious lies.

I'm honestly shocked he's mostly making claims based on no evidence rather than claims that easily proven false. More than I expected from him.

I'm really not sure. It has the marks of being from Trump (because it doesn't work and betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of government) but it's a bit complex.

That so fucked up.
When the police starts turning against what they view as political opponents.... thats a bad sign.

you're not his intended audience, just like no one expects to convince Wegandi that Pelosi is a centrist.
making very serious allegations without evidence I'm optimistic that matters to ~half of his supporters.

Because for people who buy into it the evidence of his claims are the results of the election.

The parties have drifted apart. Theres no such thing as a centrist that overlap with the other party anymore (I think last one of any notoriety left is Manchin for the D's and Murkowski/Romney for the GOP) Did you happen to know there was a time Democrats were on the NRA board and were able to hold pro-2A positions? That to me would indicate centrism. (See: someone like Bill Brewster in the 90s)

Clayton county is the last county to be counted with a real number of votes in Georgia. Initial votes point to Biden managing to push over the top, but there's nothing saying that the 86% gains by Biden will be sustainable.
As it stands, they estimate 7k votes left in Clayton. If Biden wins 80% (4:1) he will take the lead (4.2k vote gain)

ya I've been watching some fox today and while there are some exceptions, and while they pay more homage to the 'there's something screwed up about how they've denied observers entry', I think they're overall taking their job pretty seriously here. Granted I haven't watched Hannity, and last night Tucker was batshit insane, but even the five had a couple 'this is bullshit from trump'.
I think for many of the reluctant trumpy republicans, this is reasonably close to an ideal result anyway, and I think the fox apparatus has a larger % of those than what the case is for the overall republican base. They got the court victories, they seem to hold on to senate, Biden doesn't have a great mandate, and with Trump losing, they can hope to get rid of him.

The people whining about losing were doing some strange attacks.
Why attack Pelosi about socialism and defund the police? She didn't back those things, and can't actually do jackshit to AOC or her group about it. She can't eject her from the caucus or strip her from the party. And the house gained squad members (there are at least two new DSA candidates who have won : Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush, and some of the squad ALREADY weren't in the DSA) so it's really not to her benefit to alienate them.
If Pelosi attacks AOC, I think she loses the speakership.
