How can any Trump supporter justify this?

We're working hard to make his vote advantage disappear?  All that's happening is that votes are being counted.  Seriously?  Are you all that stupid?

Tbh, Twitter should ban him for this. Every random congressman would be get muted for this stuff. Flagging isn't doing it anymore.

Trump barely won Oklahoma County, 49.2%-48.1%.


So close to breaking the GOP all-county sweep that they have done since 2004. I think by 2024 we can finally break it.

If the Democratic nominee manages to win in 2024, Democrats could break the all-county sweeps in both Oklahoma and West Virginia. Monongalia County was within 2 points.

Has anyone ever compiled out (major) college town counties vote?  Obviously, the vast majority would go for Democrats, but it would be interesting to see the ones that don't.  (Depending on your definition of "major," I know Bloomington, IL's McLean County was usually one.)

I think NOVA Green made a thread where he calculated the results of every DI football college town in the 2016 election. Maybe he'll make one of those for this year too.

Big gap good, small gap bad.

LOL. I mean. We’re about 5 years too late to be asking that question

Some of them really do believe there is a nefarious plot going on here. Win or lose he's going to keep this up so he can raise money off of it. This is the easiest and most foolproof way to earn money he's ever had.

I'll give credit where credit is due. The doomers were, by and large, right. Predicting a narrow Trump win is in fact closer to the actual result than the 413 map (which was what my prediction was in the ballpark of).

That still doesn't magically make the lion's share of their contributions to this forum worthwhile or not insufferable to read.

I think a lot of the "insufferableness" of doomer's contributions was due to having their opinions and warnings continually shot down and dismissed as bogus.  The back and forth that often ensued made the conversations difficult to read.

To also be fair, well over 90% of Doom or postings had no explanation for their argument. In fairness to the rest of us, the polls did show a comfortable Biden lead in most of these states, and that's had good quantifiable reason to be optimistic. Very very few Doomer posts went further than "becawz reasonzs" in explaining why almost all the polls were going to be wrong.

On that point, I'll repeat something I noted earlier in this thread, many dozens of pages ago. It is very tentatively looks like a repeat of 2016 in that the polls may have accurately recorded Biden expected vote both Nationwide and in these key swing States oh, just as they did for Hillary. However, the undecideds and he's polls apparently broke overwhelmingly for Trump just like four years ago. The difference in Saving Grace in this election is that, where has Clinton never could break out of the high forties either nationally or in key swing States, Biden was at or nearly above 50% in both.

Yeah...Biden's gonna win PA.

This is what my dooming was warning of.  He's going to get more and more crazy and he's set to challenge whatever the result is.  I kept saying that and most people here outright dismissed me.

God help us if it's 270-268.  Biden might not actually get the win, after all the court shenanigans.

Yes, because I'm still trying to figure out how Tippecanoe votes to the left of St Joseph.

Here's what's left in PA:



9.2% (=841) of the election-day precincts are also uncounted.

Wrong.  I continually warned that the polls could be off again; the polls being wrong in 2016 was all the explanation any of us doomers needed and most of us said so.  We still had 2016 fresh in our memories.  Most of you all forgot 2016 and decided to trust the polls that were so wrong the last time.

[Platypus]

As anyone who was on this forum back in 2004 knows all too well, exit polls are useless trash.

[politics_king]

I just woke up. LOL Biden is really going to win 270-268. We'll never hear the end of Trump, be ready for him to buy OAN and have a radio show just spreading misinformation. This is hilariously sad.
