The US Presidential election prediction thread

Trump has actually done pretty well, despite the impending loss. He’s currently got 4 million more votes than 2016 with plenty still to come in, and appears up amongst most categories, except incredibly, white men.

If it weren’t for the huge boom of mail-in votes I think he would’ve won again. There’ll be a lot of votes in there that just wouldn’t have been cast otherwise. It’s been a problem for Democrats for years, Republicans show up and their voters don’t.

A hollow victory, of course, a bit like Corbyn in 2017. Losing better than expected is still losing.

:bairn:bairn:bairn:bairn:bairn


It’s quite funny if Covid fucks him not because of all the deaths (although that has undoubtedly played a part) but also because it’s made the voting process less of a chore and allowed more people to participate. You love to see it.

They can request on in Wisconsin if it's under 1%, but the gap won't be a few hundred, it'll be over 20,000. That's not unravelling.

Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien is projecting confidence in the president's chances in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and Georgia. He said Wisconsin was headed to "recount territory."

Not sure why everyone getting wound up about Trump's "frankly we did win" rhetoric. Isn't claiming your doing well/about to win/feeling confident pretty standard patter in elections in the US, and elsewhere?

Think its more to do with him making that statement when there was still @50% of the votes to be counted across all states due to the mail in, that and announcing at that point to say it should all be stopped and it's a fraud is why folks are going off on one. Even a good few of his own party are really not happy with that outburst.

Wow! Right on the fucking nose.

 

 

Had Bernie been on the ballot instead of Biden, it would've been over already. Sanders was the best candidate for the democrats in 2016, and overwhelmingly the best they could've put forward in 2020. He would've obliterated Trump. 

 

South Park nailed the American voting situation in 2004 -
