2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Anyone know how this is going over with Trumpists?

Terribly, hopefully.

Dare I ask, having been teased is the lotion still waiting on PA?

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

This thread is practically a live blog documenting the fall of Florida & rise of Georgia in future Democratic politics/campaigning.

From Tuesday's frightening numbers in Miami-Dade to today's jublient returns around Atlanta.

They believe the Supreme Court will flip it.

At least, that's what I gather from their responses on Twitter.

[Alben Barkley]

I was unironically already thinking of moving to Georgia, to the metro Atlanta area.

This has genuinely emboldened me to actually do it.

I hope Buzz, Horus, Hammy, and company are ready for me!

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

Now just to wait off the next 3 years until Yang can run and win!

Would any of these legal shenanigans work?

Lol “stop the counting in Michigan and flip it”. These people are not very bright.

You gotta stop the counting and flip!

Let’s just say things might be lubricating themselves right now.

We are so lucky that Georgia has 2 Senate races this year and Florida had none.

I would say it’s too early for this, but I’m already up.

Nothing to add. Just wanted to post on the 538th page.

Interesting take:

Important information (for nerds):

It is still a big "if" - but if Biden wins Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, he will be the first Democratic candidate to do so in 84 years, since Franklin Roosevelt.

Roosevelt lost in Michigan in 1940.

So glad I went to sleep at 11 and woke up at 5:30.

Maybe, but Trump can't hold PA unless they stop the count literally now.

It's okay... PA is "Union Country", both in the Civil War and New Deal Era...

Gettysburg was only an Hour so down the road from from my Grandparents place in PA, and yes PA PUBs fought in the wars, including not only the Civil War but WW II as well.

The fact the Trump is losing "Traditional PUB voters" in PA is not a good sign, despite gaining some voters for those who have been screwed over by Global Economic Trade policies, where as we all well know MNCs are controlled by Wall Street, and our "Small" Factory Towns are simply collatoral damage as part of a Global Race to the Bottom.

Sorry Atlas--- tip and pop and corks for a Biden win, and we will do the United Front, but at some point we want something back for helping to pass the message on to the younger comrades, children, etc....

I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but Biden winning Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin narrowly and Michigan by a larger but still small margin shows he made the right choice with Kamala Harris. It isn't only about her, but taking a chance on high African-American turnout was the winning bet over any other option.

[Alben Barkley]

Joe Biden MIGHT win Georgia by MORE than Bill Clinton did (it was like 0.6 percent). It would be the most since Harry S. Truman in 1948 if so.

Never mind, I'm drunk.

JFK and of course Jimmy Carter did better.

2018 was wake up call for me when it came to Florida
That election showed me that it really was no longer a swing state and the 2020 election confirmed my suspicion

I'm not saying the dems should completely give up on it but at this point I would be focused way more on both GA and north carolina because as far as I'm concerned that is the future for Dems

You know what it shows me?

That Stacey Abrams is the savior of the Democratic Party, and every single member of the Florida Democratic Party can go jump in the f--king ocean.

Yes, and I can shift from ruing Bill Nelson's loss to accepting that it was now a real reflection of the state's partisanship, and possibly 2018's macro environment made it closer than it would have been.

Kamala did bring some life into his campaign because, to be honest, Trump was a workhorse despite the pandemic forcing people inside and out in the streets encouraging people to vote and attending rallies. Times have changed when a candidate could campaign from their porch and out perform their rivals in a election.
