Heisenberg Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Ironically, I'd imagine the people around here who proudly display their "TRUMP 2020 Make Liberals Cry Again" flags probably have tears streaming down their cheeks right about now.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Nate Cohn and Elliot Morris should get jobs at Waffle House. Smothered and covered for those idiots. Nate silver and Wasserman can wash dishes. How they are still talking is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really the argument that I know you are more offering as a devil's advocate. So please understand my comments are directed at those who truly believe the argument - no you. It already comes down to 1 or 2 states. That notion that CA and NY decide everything is just false. If nothing else, they do not have enough votes to make that happen. Look at the difference in votes between biden and bunker boy right now. Is it 10s of Ms? No. It's a few M votes. Like I said, i'm not advocating for one or the other, but the system as it is right now was more of a reflection of how it was back then when the country was vastly smaller. I don't hate the idea of the popular vote being the decider, but I don't think it;s the best barometer. Maybe it is? Maybe there's no other way to come to a satisfying understanding. Bring back the confederacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrilbo67 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Just to level-set on what's left to count in Pennsylvania-- they had just over 6 million voters in 2016. They haven't even counted 6 million votes in this election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPosse Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Right now this feels like early in the 4th quarter of the Dallas/WFT game. You're not overly content with your own team, but you're thoroughly enjoying the meltdown of the other side. At the same time, you're also still not 100% sure it's going to come out the way you want. Still, you're feeling good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Tell you what, ES fam, this is not the sweep and clear rebuke that I wanted but I'll take a POTUS who is rational and respects norms. I'll take another shot at the Senate in 2022. I'll take a lack of existential terror every day and endless criming. I'll take a serious Covid response and faith in science. I'll take decency.

The real reason for the electors was to prevent the masses from, being duped by a populist with al ot of money. They failed. Again, every other election we have is popular vote. Why is it so hard for people to wrap thier head around president?? Again, zero legitmate rational for electros - of any kind of configuration. Remember we're still working it out. Haven't gotten this Democracy/Elections thing down yet. The real reason for the electors is it was a better system then what preceded it. (Think we had a process of voting First Choice, Second Choice prior? Or maybe we did runoffs) All electors voting like Maine/Nebraska might be the next step to a better democracy. Maybe scrapping the EC would be the next step after that. Its a scientific process that has to be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I just can't wait to be able to go a few weeks without thinking about the POTUS at all. It will be so nice to not wake up every morning to him embarrassing the country as he tweets crazy **** from the toilet at 3 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
