2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Alben Barkley]

No one is asking the real question though:

When will Biden replace Trump in Disney’s “Hall of Presidents?”

Probably by next summer, that's usually the turnaround with making a new president, writing a new script, updating the effects, etc. Trump was an outlier, his version of the show wasn't done until almost a year into his presidency for whatever reason.

I heard it was because they had already been working on a Hillary robot and had to scrap it.

A friend of mine just posted a video from the area formerly known as CHOP, and people there are dancing, cheering, and flying American flags. Is this not what you wanted, conservatives?

True patriots.

I don't think he's appearing though.

What is that even?  That sounds like some D list conservamoron.  He's not even getting Tucker to push this?

Uh oh...

"During the 2020 election, Levin called on Republican-controlled state legislatures to disregard the results of the 2020 election and send electors to the Electoral College who would vote for Trump.[69]"

I keep telling you people this is what's going to happen in the end

And we keep telling you that it's not.  It's a right-wing fantasy.

Everything Trump's done after entering office was right wing fantasy until it became reality. I have absolutely no faith in these people to do the right thing as they've proven they simply don't care

And you believe the voters or the Democrats would just stand by and accept that? Seems more like the straw that broke the camel's back (or in that case, the United States).

Let me tell you what would happen if they tried that BS: Republican legislatures would be sued immediately for violating their own state law, which clearly states how electors must be chosen. No court in the world is going to say they can just change election law after the fact because they didn't like the result.

But it doesn't matter because they're not even gonna try it. We've already heard as much, and it's pretty clear most of the GOP and their backers like Murdoch are ready to ditch him.

We are up past 149.3 million votes on the cook popular vote tracker and Biden has not even reached 3% in the popular vote, Nate Silver tweeted out recently maybe he could win by 5 or even 6 points with late ballots, I doubt it, in California Biden's margin has gone from +33 to +31.3 as more votes have come in, New York should give a big boost to Biden but since election day Biden has only been winning votes by 16.5%, if we assume turnout of 160 million, a 16.5% advantage among the remaining vote would get Biden to a 3.9% margin in the popular vote.

No offense, but I'm trusting Nate Silver's math over yours.

[Alben Barkley]

Anyway, I just still can't believe I might have to thank above all Philadelphians, i.e. Eagles fans, for saving the world.

Between that and Texas utterly failing to come through... Well, I might not quite give up my Cowboys fandom for the Eagles (bleh, don't think I could ever bring myself to do it). But the Falcons? Those poor guys deserve a break if anyone does. And as I previously mentioned, I MIGHT be moving to the Atlanta area sometime in the near future, which could convert me once and for all.

[Alben Barkley]

You know what?

I'm starting to think Trump supporters aren't so bad after all. These people have kindly given me now thousands of dollars worth of free money. First it was 2018, when the idiots actually believed Manchin and Menendez would lose and that the Dems would lose the House. That was easy money.

Now they think somehow Trump still has a path in Arizona, Georgia, etc. even though we literally know for a mathematical fact that's impossible. Their sheer stupidity is making me rich. I owe them praise for that if nothing else! I have maxed my bets in all these markets, and guess what? I have a 100% success rate so far in PredictIt! Every single market I have ever invested in, I got the full payout for because I only bet when I KNOW I'm gonna win AND when I know there are a bunch of idiots who somehow think otherwise.

Also there's the fact that I actually INCREASED my investments in the stock market when it slightly dipped a week or two ago, around the same time MAGAts were predicting doom and gloom over how the market would react to Biden winning (and James Woods claimed to pull his entire net worth out). The market roared early on Friday when it seemed like Biden was the winner, then basically flatlined. I expect it to REALLY roar now.

I am actually going to make bank off dumbass Trumpf--ks. They are literally handing all their opiate money to me, a liberal.

And I thought we were supposed to be the "cucks???"

Well, this is how I (a CHAD) feel now...

[Alben Barkley]

Did anything important happen during the night ?

Arizona is confirmed D, for one thing.

RIP your bets I guess, except maybe that one you said you had with OH+FL going R but the election going D.

“During the coming recount, we are confident we will find evidence of improperly harvested ballots and other irregularities that will prove that President Trump won Georgia fairly again on his way to re-election as President. Georgians deserve a free and open process, and they will get one.”

Alarming that the person overseeing the recount has a predetermined outcome in mind. Looks like Trump is setting up to undermine the vote in Georgia

I am not even kidding when I say I think it would be in your own best interest to go into a voluntary coma or something until January 21. Clearly the stress of... winning bigly???... is far too much for you and other doomers to handle.

Sad!

Hell, at least Horus has had the decency to hide his face around here ever since his prediction of Kanye making a dent in Minnesota fell laughably flat.

I'm still very much around thank you. And we won. I'm happy. No reason to doom now lol

Wait you're Horus?

LOL

Hammy, looks like you're the last green GA avatar holdout doomer left!

When Horus has gone full bloomer, you KNOW it's time to go!

[Alben Barkley]

This literally might be the best day of my life.

I'm not even kidding.

[Alben Barkley]

The money I'm about to make is just f--king insane.

We have a combination of Biden and news of a highly effective COVID vaccine causing stocks to go through the roof.

I have already outright robbed MAGAts of thousands of dollars over these past couple years with PredictIt alone, and I've just taken a few thousand more.

I'm going to be a very wealthy man soon, and I owe it all to my president, Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

He's your president too, MAGAts! Sorry you managed to somehow lose money over this LMFAO. Cucks.

[Alben Barkley]

[Alben Barkley]

I must say... There is really nothing in the world more satisfying than having Jethro and Bubba somehow thinking they had the upper hand on you after 2016, only for you to outright erase every single cent they have made over the past four years in one single stroke.

It's this meme incarnate:

Education pays, kiddos. HAVING A BRAIN pays!

[Alben Barkley]

For everyone else celebrating. Well, there is a song perfect for this occasion:

[Alben Barkley]

This is basically how I feel now that it's all over:

[Alben Barkley]

OK, one more time:

Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got a perfect puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompety dee

If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you make everyone mad?

Be as big of a dick as an elephant has?

What are you at, getting terribly fat?

What do you think will come of that?

I don't like the look of it

Oompa loompa doompety da

If you're not greedy, you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Doompety do

[Alben Barkley]

Good Morning, or Good Afternoon

There is a schedule for today results?

The schedule is quite simple actually:

1. Joe Biden wins 306 electoral votes.

2. Donald Trump LOSES.

3. America wins.

[Alben Barkley]

JAMES WOODS PULLED HIS ENTIRE NET WORTH OUT OF THE MARKET BECAUSE HE WAS DOOMING A BIDEN WIN AND NOW HAS DELETED THE TWEET LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I might LITERALLY be richer than an F-list Trumptard "celebrity" soon HAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I said it might be the happiest day of my life!

[Alben Barkley]

Trump will still win imo

[Alben Barkley]

Pennsylvania margin go up to 45,670

It will be over 100k in the end. Since America no longer has a president, the desperate delusional moron in chief will try to challenge it anyway and get his ass laughed out of court.

I'm here for it!

[Alben Barkley]

You know what the best part about getting (relatively) rich AND getting to watch a fake "rich" asshole like Donald Trump suffer at the same time is?

ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!

Again, best day of my life.

Best time of my life.

Will be the best holiday of my life.

Overall just finally feeling schadenfreude that has been pent up for four years.

Happy days are here again!!!

[Alben Barkley]

Our new FDR deserves to hear the song!

[Alben Barkley]

It seems like the popular vote has barely budged on the NYT map.  Are we expecting Biden +3 to hold?  If so, I'm a little surprised that the electoral college wasn't even more of a nailbiter (even though the tipping point state will likely be decided by <1%).

MANY NY and CA votes alone left to be counted. Will AT LEAST be +4 in the end. But yeah, honestly, the fact that it's not greater and our man still got over 300 is impressive actually. Just goes to show how disliked your Fuhrer was across the map!

I must admit the fact that Joe had a massively higher favorability rating than Hillary according to polls but will still only outperform her by a couple points is somewhat surprising to me, however.
