badgerx16 Posted 5 November, 2020 Share Posted 5 November, 2020 (edited) Trump says that election observers are being blocked from doing their job in Pennsylvania, the state government say they are live streaming from video cameras at the count so that anybody, anywhere, can watch.. Says that Republican observers were blocked in Detroit; the local news reports " A chaotic confrontation with protesters unfolded Wednesday afternoon inside the TCF Center, where city police officers barred Republican and Democratic poll challengers from entering the room where Detroit ballots were being counted inside the convention center. Both political parties had surpassed the law-mandated maximum of 134 challengers with more than 200 each, and when election workers told GOP challengers the party had hit its limit, some began shouting about the unfair process and lack of transparency."

badgerx16 Posted 6 November, 2020 Share Posted 6 November, 2020 "Twitter permanently suspended an account belonging to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon after he suggested Thursday morning that Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded. His comments were made in a video posted to his Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter accounts. Bannon falsely claimed President Trump had won reelection, despite several key states still being too close to call, and said that he should fire both Fauci and Wray. He then said he would go further: "I'd put the heads on pikes. Right. I'd put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you are gone."" https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/05/tech/steve-bannon-twitter-permanent-suspension/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 6 November, 2020 Share Posted 6 November, 2020 (edited) I think the only thing Trumps rants have done is made the networks a bit frightened to call it. Biden has won. It's very clear he will win Pennsylvania, there are only posted votes to count and they are hugely Biden even in the counties that are Trump rural counties. And at that point it's over. Its just a matter of the counting to finish. In six months time this election won't even be seen as being particularly close.

Millbrook Saint Posted 6 November, 2020 Share Posted 6 November, 2020 The trouble with playing the man and not the policies is that when you have a character like Trump, who, it has to be said is a total helmet, the other party's policies don't really get examined, the loudest argument I've heard is 'vote for us, Trump's a racist'. The problem then is you never really get to hear their policies so any old nonsense could be put up as a policy and no one really notices as they're too busy hating the other guy.

People saying the lead in PA could be like 50-60k ahead easily. Georgia should pull up to more like 8-10k in the end if not more. And even in Trump favouring counties across the country mail in ballots are favouring Biden by about 60-65%, so the supposed close races in Nevada and Arizona are not really going to be close. He won Michigan by a lot larger margin than Trump won in 2016. Biden is now looking likely to have 306 Electoral college votes, something like 74 million Americans voting for him (by far the most in US history of any President), a good 4 million plus lead in the popular vote over Trump. 24 minutes ago, Millbrook Saint said: The trouble with playing the man and not the policies is that when you have a character like Trump, who, it has to be said is a total helmet, the other party's policies don't really get examined, the loudest argument I've heard is 'vote for us, Trump's a racist'.

Biden and the Dems don't really have any policies, their campaign has essentially been 'he's not trump' and let's get back to the old status quo with Joe. Which is working, and after seeing Trumps outburst including a press conference that included the most lies in an presidential address ever where he literally undermined the democracy of the United States its not surprising its their tactics. Plus they are unlikely to have a lead in the Senate (as they need to win 3 potential run off elections in Jan) so for the first two years Biden won't be able to do crap anyway because of that giant c*nt McConnel won't give an inch for any progress. So Dems will need to up their game for 2024, especially as Joe Biden will be 82 and his health is already iffy so might not be able to run and likely will not have got much done in his Presidency except stabilise the country and not act like a giant tit, so they can't just run a campaign on being less worse than the other guy and expect to win.

As for running the country, I don't think he'll be doing much of that, he's a mouth piece and the strings will be pulled behind him. Not sure how he'll stabalise the country though, there's so much hatred been brewed up on both sides it could take years to get over it and it's far too easy to 'win' an argument by cancelling people who don't agree/vote for the 'right' people. Both the Republicans and Democrats will have to up their game in 2024, it'll be good to actually have an election which centres around policies and not this identity politics where one party screams you're racist if you vote for the other party.

Mystic Force Posted 6 November, 2020 Share Posted 6 November, 2020 This is what seems to have happened in America. Once upon a time people agreed on the objectives, but disagreed on the way to get there. Now they also disagree on the objectives. Biden does not come out of this election looking strong. This election has moved the overton window, the fact that after all that has happened it was still this close suggests that people have a tolerance for incompetence and dishonesty, as the only thing important to certain sections of society is to make liberals cry. Next you need to understand that what the word liberal means in america does not cover the same territory as the word does in the UK. Liberal basically means not conservative, and american conservatives start a lot further right than the Tories. Liberal is used to encompass socialist and moderate conservatives. Harris is not very liberal, she is generally disliked by the social democrat part of the media. She is a main stream corporate democrat like Biden. I am just glad it is nearly over its been exhausting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
