we are all there with you.Some of those analysts on CNN sound close to calling it for Biden. As long as the Nevada mail-in votes aren't a huge anomaly I think so too. But I'm still nervous for some reason...
Not available in my region.
I’m with you man! Here in Chicago been sticking to this all night. Just downed another Red Bull. Hanging on until I feel comfortable enough to go to sleep.
Trump would have defeated any Democrat if not for Covid. An incumbent president with a strong economy will always win in the US.
Move then.
Genuinely believe Bernie would have won but with a completely different demographic and vote pattern than biden
Im off to bed folks. I hope mail trends hold. See you all in 10 hours!
Because they are still counting. Full result won’t be released until Friday I think.
With the $500m + in bets on this election, I would have assumed that it would have been worth it to create a more comprehensive model that would take into account the precincts(urban/rural) that still had not sent in their results and the % of absentee votes not registered, assuming this data was available, which is dependent on man power. Not easy, but if the weighing of the variables are correct, it is just a matter of data/lack of data --> data gathering.
Politico still shows a 12k lead for Trump in MI, it's not gone down as other outlets are suggesting.
Yeah, what about the 4th electoral vote in Maine? fecking Maine
Welcome to the US of A a where elections are decided by how TV Networks call states.
Let's give it a rest for the day with the Sanders, Warren etc. stuff?

Breaking: Marco Silva has been appointed President.
No idea how it happened, but then no one knows how the cnut blagged his last two jobs either.

Took today off, but I just finished about a half gallon of coffee so I think I’m gonna save the vacation day and “work”
Sanders would probably scare off a large number of independents and disillusioned ex-Trump voters. Warren might have been a more safe bet. But yes you're right, the US is very much like the UK in the sense that a leftist ticket would likely not be every electable.
Biden's issue wasn't his ideological barometer, but his failure to inspire as a candidate. Buttigieg would probably scare off a few 'Christians' but O'Rourke looks a promising bet for the future.
Inkgate will forever be remembered, I hope the guy got reimbursed too for his what seemed a lifetime trip to Walmart.
Interested to hear his thoughts myself!
I think we're setting the bar low here. Remember John Delaney? Or Howard Schultz? They would have won the popular vote by a good amount. I think that was the metric @Siorac was using to dictate enthusiasm, and I can argue that a more left candidate would have picked up a disillusioned voter for every center right voter that was lost to Trump.
That said, the need to align to a more centrist lane is dictated by the EC, and the way the senate races are going, it looks like that approach isn't getting the complete validation it set out to get. I will give 100% credit to Biden for doing what Hillary did not: stump across the Midwest, and engage the left wing of the party.
I have no idea what’s going on but a Trump meltdown would be funny. Bit like Bluemoon goes into meltdown but multiplied by about 100.
It went from 200K to 60K to 36K to 12K and then it stopped.
Don't jinx this.

Troy deeny as VP?
I do not see any path that would have lead to a Bernie win. Most likely would have been a Trump landslide. I mean, we saw Florida going 4+ for Trump, simply cause he claimed that Biden is a communist and in the debates was confusing him for Bernie.
As someone said above, it does not matter what millennials in New York or California think. To win the presidency, you need to win some of the boring states in Midwest (or Arizona) and Sanders had no chance on doing so, while probably also losing New Hampshire and Nevada, while making Colorado and Minnesota competitive.
The US is a very right leaning country. It is why they have a centrist and a far right party as their biggest parties.
I wouldn’t worry - officials in Michigan state said a number of absentee ballots left and they will likely be blue votes.
No if only he ends up with the same number of EC votes
I turn it off last night because I had to get up early for work but at the time Biden was getting slammed in Michigan did he catch up??
Georgia and PA still very much in play - nice.

It's not over till it's over but he went from ~300k down to ~20k down with 15% of the vote still to be counted.
I cant see Biden making up enough ground to win PA. There are what, 1.5m votes outstanding? And Trump has a 600k lead. Thats too much, for me.
what is going on in Michigan? it turned red again? wasnt it blue a few minutes ago
i'm watching CNN
