The TL.net Decision Desk can project that the states of Arizona, with its 11 Electoral votes, Nevada, with its 6 electoral votes, and Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes, will go to Former Vice President Joe Biden. This puts Joe Biden at 290 projected electoral votes, making him the President-Elect of the United States. We have not called Georgia yet... actually you know what? No fuck that noise. The TL.net Decision desk also projects Georgia to go to Joe Biden, increasing his total electoral vote tally to 306. There, end of the election. I'm grabbing a drink. | ||

Another crazy thing we can mark up to 2020 is we have went from every news org trying to be the first to call the election, to every news org being scared shitless about calling the elections first! LOL  Wait I thought they loved it and that getting to use the Ban hammer kept them sharp and made them feel alive! Little did they know that a good old fashioned StarCraft website would get it all right and ahead of schedule. | ||

Still can't believe there are so many of you that could've used twitter, major news sources, or anything else as your main source, but y'all came here to a little gaming website to get your info. Proud to have been of service. o7 We definitely must do this again for next time. | ||

Trump took them on a wide ride, I'm sure a lot of them only hopped onto the train to stay in good faith with the Republican electorate. There is healing, you just have to look for it. Dems shouldn't be using this line of thought of "well they won't want to heal so why should we?" Dems should be, and are, the party with the higher moral ground and standing. Now they have to act like it. You can call out Republicans when they refuse to budge, you can call them out when they make really outlandish statements, but I'm done with the whole fuck them we'll do it ourselves argument. Hyper-modern politics is a disease. It's a tumor that continues to grow. Either we do some radiation and chemo, or we let the tumor grow. We have to at least try. I mean if I were a national political figure I’d probably say “now it’s time for Republicans and Democrats to come together to tackle the many pressing problems facing our nation” or something similar, and push policy proposals the same way I would if I didn’t think Republican officials are soulless. If they decided to “come together” the door would be open. But come January Biden tries to appoint, I don’t know, Stacey Abrams to his cabinet. Do I think that is remotely likely to happen? Suppose Clarence Thomas dies in a couple years and Biden nominates Merrick Garland. Do I think they’re remotely likely to confirm him? Republicans control 4x as many state legislatures as Democrats for redistricting. Am I honestly supposed to expect those Republican states won’t have an order of magnitude more wasted D votes than R votes come midterms? Like, they spent the last 10 years breaking down any norm or institution that would keep them from gaining and keeping power. Not only is there zero contrition about having done it, they’re *still doing* the ones they still have power over, and have shown no sign of stopping. Like, fine, I think Dems shouldn’t stoop to the same “fuck your feelings” discourse. They should keep their eye on the horizon and focus on all of the shitty things that were killing us four years ago and have only gotten worse. One wonders if they even have the solutions and willingness to execute them within their own caucus, regardless of the Republicans, but they should concentrate there because that’s what actually matters. But with Republicans in control of the Senate they’re better off focusing their energy on what they can accomplish by EO than trying to find some bipartisan solution Republicans will agree to. That sucks, considering one of those shitty things killing us is ever-expanding executive powers, but they don’t exactly have a ton of cards to play. | ||

The back and forth here is more enjoyable to read; I did that back in 2016 (despite the orange being voted in). | ||

I think I agree to every thing you have just said, but maybe our views diverge on what we consider to be "unity". Unity does not mean Dems should just give everything to Reps to appease them. That's not what I meant to imply. Dems should still fight and fight hard, just not try to employ so many of the dirty tactics that Republicans employed during their tenure. | ||

Well when you re not from the USA its hard to find anything on twitter, because you have no idear about states, countys, etc. you have no idear what state is supposed to be blue or red you have no idear what twitter accounts to follow for updates and so on. The only media I knew beforehand from the USA was Fox news and NYT  So thanks a lot for all the work to you and others, who did all the number gathering here | ||
