2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[R.P. McM]

Starr County, border county in Texas:
2016: 9,289 Clinton 2,224 Trump
2020 (92%): 7,636 Biden 6,515 Trump

What the hell...?

Latin America says hello!

The only good side of Trump winning is forcing democrats to not disrespect Latino voters anymore but even then they would still probably do the same in 2024. I still don’t forget what they did after Bernie won in Nevada and the condescending stuff mainstream media said about his Latino base driving him to the win.

That said, democrats made a conscious decision to ignore minorities in order to appeal to moderate suburban women in WI, MI and PA. That can still pay off so people should wait. They just can’t act shocked with headlines “wHy arE LAtiNoS voTinG fOr tRuMp???”. But if Biden happens to lose and these people blame Latinos then they deserve everything they get.

This. Every time I brought up how much Democrats have disrespected my community this cycle, I got lectured by a red avatar on how no one but white liberals cares about kids in cages.

Unfortunately, we can't fix stupid.

Biden-Harris wins, but closely.....

If Biden retires in '24, Harris needs to do better with black men.......

On ABC News, they were discussing Biden's weaknesses with black voters. As a black man myself, I detest Kamala Harris, and voted for Biden in spite of her. This is definitely an area of concern for Democrats moving forward.

I don't know if the problem is that she is married to a white man (it shouldn't matter), if she wins the vice presidency, she needs to go to more Black neighborhoods

No, the problem is misogyny. Remember when blacks and Hispanics had a very negative opinion of gay marriage? Well, the same is true in this case. In 2016, I remember talking to a number of my male, working-class, nonwhite colleagues who had a very negative opinion of Hillary Clinton ("b****," "c***," etc.). Why? Well, they couldn't quite articulate it in any rational sense. Yeah, we all get it.

Racist

Yeah, I'm racist because I'm accurately reporting my personal experience, and what public opinion surveys consistently indicated about nonwhite opinion of gay marriage until very recently. Stop it, Tom. I'm not aligned with the political party that almost monolithically supports an authoritarian, racist sexual predator.

Moral of the story:

People vote FOR something.

Not against something. 

Moral of the story: the average voter is a moron, they get what they deserve, and I'm outta here!

I think Biden will probably still win, but given the Senate picture, I want to give a shoutout to one of the stupidest, most selfish people to have ever held a SC seat:



I'm sure it must be difficult for a wealthy, white, heterosexual woman of non-reproductive age to put the interests of tens of millions above her own, but here is your legacy, clown:

Minnesota seems pretty good for Biden

Anoka county is only Trump +1 at 93% in, its suburban Minneapolis but more working class and it trended R in 2016. Was Trump +10.

Well, MN is just better than most of the country, and it's time people started to accept it. And I make no apologies for my provincialism.

Even if Biden wins, Democrats need to understand that they live in a big bubble

Dump the racial politics, focus on economics for everyone---everyone

LOL. Stop it. We can't excuse the stupidity of the electorate in a situation in which a racist, authoritarian sexual predator has presided over 230,000 deaths and an economic disaster.

looks like $15 minimum wage will pass in Florida

Until the GOP repeals it. Yep, FL voters are getting exactly what they asked for.

Someone answer me, will Susan Collins win?

Pretty likely, she’s winning by 15 points even as Biden leads by 5 points. Looks like her moderate bona fides still exist somehow.

Then WTF is up with your signature picture? Here's the actual reality:

When will the WWC see the dividends of its racism? Answer: NEVER.
