2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Hammy]

Buzz is fine, I've gained tons of respect for Jessica.

Woodbury and SN are scum, and Del Tachi is annoying with nonsensical takes.

Del Tachi is actually kind of interesting to read because he puts a lot of thought and logic into his posts and often still comes to the wrong conclusion with it.

I willy say sorely regret lobbying for SN's return, he's gone full reality denialism during his absence.

Hive Sea Knee Switch?

after all the Election Day bed wetting it looks like Biden will win 4 of the 6 core battlegrounds (MI, PA, WI, AZ) and 2 pickups (GA, NE-2) and he wins the contested Hillary states easily (ME, NH, MN... probably NV).

If those were called earlier than Florida and Texas nobody would have cared about the polls being off.

Trump most likely won when SCOTUS rules Trump won PA. I was right about election all along.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Just woke up. About to go to work. Can anybody give the quick rundown?

No state has been called, NC and NC have stopped counting until more mail ballots get in, Trump is ahead by less than 2000 in Georgia, and Pennsylvania isn't that close but based on patterns so far it's a likely Biden win.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

I always thought Buzz and Jessica were decent.

It is astonishing how the order in which the exact same votes for the exact same candidates have been counted has totally changed how this election is being viewed.

If PA, NV, GA and AZ had all done mail-in first, this would be all but over and people would be talking about a 300+ EV triumph.

Instead.....

I still dont understand why people think Michelle Obama is interested in politics, she never campaigned for Biden

I’m way more concerned about Buttigieg stans still evidentially being a thing. Yes let’s simultaneously play into the elitist academic/PMC image and get one of the least progressive options this side of Bloomberg.

Also the amount of new-DLC/New Dems types in this thing is concerning.

[Badger]

Why isn't Biden ahead in PA?

The writing is on the wall.

Trump will win.

Okay you incessant broken record content free troll. On to ignore you go. Kindly leave The Forum once Trump loses, BTW

The ones calling for a SCOTUS hijacking were the same ones crying when Gorsuch and Kavanaugh sided with Planned Parenthood, lmao. FOH

[Buzz]

The thought of Kamala Harris running the country does scare the living **** out of me though.  I REALLY hope Joe can make it the full term.

It's 25% for someone apolitical, 18% for someone vapid, 8% for neoliberal elitist, 8% for corrupt hack, 6% for the only progressive, and then some more neoliberals (except Gillibrand at 1%)

Kinda want Trump to chill out because this might hurt his 2024 prospects, on the other hand I feel there is plenty of things that can be exposed in our voting system.  Also Trump has already proved he can go full moronic idiot mode and it doesn't matter.

Do you mind me asking why you’d like to see him run again/support his run again?

He almost won in this terrible environment, he would win in 2024 easily.

That's why you think he'd win, why do you want him to run?

The first three years of his presidency were amazing. Without COVID he's running away with this thing and extremely popular. He's gonna improve with everyone except white men from 2016.

You guys talk out of both sides of your mouth on this.

First you say COVID is what hurt Trump, and he would win with ease without it.

But you also say Trump had way more support than expected (and some of you blue avatars said he would win) because of the lockdowns.

Look, the guy and his racist nonsense about "looters" (we know exactly what that's code for), and dog-whistling to groups like Proud Boys and such just isn't popular with the majority of the country and you're seeing that now. Biden is on track to get 4 or 5 million more votes than him, and that's because despite a solid economy, low unemployment, and no foreign entanglements, it's himself and his mouth that's to blame here.

The silent majority isn't what it was in 1968 and you're gonna have to come to terms with that.

I can see his viewpoint.

Before COVID-19 came this year, Trump built up a good reputation with a fair percentage of the population, through the credit that was attributed to him in some areas, like the economy and foreign policy.

When COVID-19 came this year, the weakness of Trump were exposed, particularly in his inability to deal with the pandemic effectively, and worse, by running away from the situation during the last few months.

The truth is, a President needs to be the entire package, like FDR was, with his handling of both the economy and a crisis situation like World War II. Trump might have passed in the economy aspect, but he failed miserably in the crisis management category.

It does not matter that COVID-19 happened in just the last year of his first term. This year, 2020, can easily outweigh all of the good things that he accomplished in the first 3 years.

I am just repeating his viewpoint, but seeing it with a different lens.

Trump was never popular.

I did not mean that he was net-positive popular, but that he had popularity toward a certain sector of the population. That fact still remains, even if Trump loses this election miserably.

And some people don't like him but still voted for him because they gave him credit for certain things like the economy (that is, before COVID-19 struck).

I understand this viewpoint, but I disagree with this kind of viewpoint. Entirely opposite of FDR and JFK, Trump failed miserably in the most critical moment of his presidency. FDR and JFK, on the other hand, catapulted themselves to greatness when they performed brilliantly in the most critical days of their presidencies.
