In all seriousness, I think DACA is here to stay for a VERY long time, regardless of who wins. Definitely if Biden wins it will be 100% secure (full AP privileges) with turmoil if Trump gets in again but even then I don't think DACA recipients should worry, as long as they stay away from trouble.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Hard to say at this point. After thinking about this more, I've come to the conclusion that democrats love to lose. Losing house seats was out of the question but they managed to do it. How do they lose so badly in Florida but Florida voted for a $15 minimum wage by TWENTY plus points. This is clearly a democratic promise but somehow they still lost. Democrats are so bad at messaging it's insane. You can keep calling someone a "racist" but if that "racist" is saying I'll give you jobs and protect you, the "racist" is going to win regardless if he's being truthful or not. Voting is a transaction. Give me your vote and this is what I'll do for you, it's not that guy is a "racist" don't vote for him.

On 538 blog Lee Drutman mentioned that many voters are socially conservative and economically liberal. I agree Democrats are bad at messaging, but these voters are also very susceptible to right wing propaganda.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I'm pretty confident Biden will take MI.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

How do you know he won't just kill it via proper channels this time?

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

This is just me. I have a theory that he will no longer be worried about winning a reelection and just do what he wants to do. And secondly, I know I get called out for this a lot but I still think the fact that he did not end it on "Day 1" as he promised and did it well over a year after, and that too because obviously he was not going to defend against Paxton, is something worth noticing. But anyway...all this applies only if Trump wins.

Better than completely losing DACA at least.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

We knew this would happen if their was no decisive winner.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

So what? Biden is gonna snatch GA. I hope lol

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

And to the Courts we go. Who wants to guess on what happens when Trump's argument is basically I'm winning in this State so stop counting but in AZ where Biden is leading I want to keep counting. This is the twilight zone.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Honestly I would not be surprised if the SC went along with him. All his appointees plus the all republican judges are spineless folks with no ethics. Turning this country into a 3rd world country with his shenanigans

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

At the very least if nothing else, he gotta make last 5 or 10 year per renewal and with unconditional AP. Or cut a deal for GC. Using nuclear option.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

As it stands Biden is at 237 with MI, NV, AZ, GA, NC, AND PA left.

Biden leads In NV, AZ, and MI and the ballots left favor Dems (mail-ins and whatnot). Biden has so far seen a 4 to 1 advantage.

So Math:

237+ 6 (NV) + 16 (MI) + 11 (AZ) = 270

Anything else is gravy

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I would even settle for enshrining daca (2y) into law just so we have some measure of safety. This is an easy sell but dems will balk at it.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I highly doubt Biden’s taking NC. Too big of a lead for Trump. Plus, they already counted most of the early votes in the beginning.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

DACA isn't safe even if Biden is elected. TX is going to sue and the Supreme Court will likely kill DACA.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Gorsuch did vote for the big LGBT decision along with Roberts actually. We can just hope now that the courts system take care of this matter without any personal bias. On the other hand, Clarence Thomas always votes against what is right and I don't know that much other than that.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

That texas AG is accused of corruption by his own office.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I stopped caring about being a Permanent Resident or USC

Just make Daca renewals every 4 years and let me live my life.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Has Biden promised any sort of CIR once president? Need to hold him accountable if he did.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Good luck trying to get Mitch McConnell on board.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

This race is waaay too close. Next 4 yrs election may be a hard one.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Amen!!

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Crazy! The civil unrest I was worried about is starting

@PattersonNBC
#BREAKING: Large, animated crush of “stop the count” protestors trying to push their way into TCF hall in #Detroit where ballots are being counted.

They’re being blocked by guards at the door.

Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Joe Biden is speaking

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

????????? Makes no sense, Michigan is up 60k for Biden.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I don't get it either...lol. Biden wins if votes stop getting counted. Trumpers don't make sense.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Watching.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Michigan called for joe biden!

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I approve this message!

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

CNN is calling Michigan for Biden

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Yea. Whew, that us it boys. Seems like a done deal. He'll get at least 270, maybe more w PA.

Gotta admit, things looked much different last night without the absentee votes having been counted yet.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Nevada and Arizona WILL DO IT.

Nevada - Hillary carried this in 2016. Joe Biden is ahead. Clark County is STILL reporting. This is a DEM COUNTY.

Arizona - Biden is ahead. Maricopa County is sitll reporting. This is heavy Dem area!

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Not so fast, need to make sure NV is blue, looking a little shaky here.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

We're so lucky it turned out this way.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Arizona will go blue reported by many other news agencies for Biden !!! It’s over

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

Looking still good in PA

@FiveThirtyEight

24m
Two more batches of Pennsylvania vote were reported:
-23,277 votes in Philadelphia, all for Biden
-about 5,300 votes in Luzerne County, nearly 4,000 of which were for Biden

*With 83% of the expected vote in, Trump’s lead in PA is now just below 6 points.

Re: Official Election News Thread Nov. 3rd, 2020
 

I am much more confident NV will be biden win than Trump flipping it. You see the neighboring state AZ flipping. You can tell a lot by neighboring states.
