Biden's campaign will be speaking soon

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

Did Trump speak at 10:15am like someone mentioned earlier?

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

That's like Fox News being only one to call Arizona...CNN..MSNBC all quiet on it, ain't nobody tryin to f**k up here, stakes too high :mrgreen:

Meanwhile...Nevada hasn't even woken up today...mofos took a break yesterday and were like "Yo lets just count tomorrow..."

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

CNN says "The presidential race hinges on four states as the Biden and Trump campaigns give updates" yet it shows AZ, GA, NV, NC, and GA as grey. I really think Arizona is going to be called for Biden tonight. Fox News still has AZ called officially for Biden.

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

The AP called it too. They said with Biden up by 5 points and 80% in their wouldn’t be enough votes in Maricopa county for a Trump win.

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

Fox News probably wishes they hadn’t called Arizona so early.

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

I believe that secretly Fox wants to get rid of tRump lol have you seen when they interview trump on their morning show they literally want to hang up on him.

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

Trump supporters right now yelling "Fox news sucks" lmfao.

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

@brent_peabody
Trump's Georgia lead just ticked down to 14,675.

But Clayton, the bluest county in Georgia, still has 20,000 votes left to report. Biden can expect to net *13,682* from them. And that's before Augusta, Savannah, Macon finish.

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

No. I really think Arizona is going to Biden. Fox News analytics have been top notch this time. If shit goes south..Biden needs to do his own legal challenge to claim Arizona.

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

And overall statewide ...there's more than 60K votes left to report I believe.

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

AP called AZ for Biden as well..

EXPLAINER: Why AP called Arizona for Biden

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

Quite surprising to see then CNN and MSNBC didn't do the same...being very liberal channels! Almost seems like the opposing channels are trying to garner support from the other side lol. Fox trying to become a little moderate and distancing from Trump. I mean they even cut away from Giulani talking all sorts of bullshit about the election yesterday...

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

Correct. These are media companies that are after profits. Fox news got "exclusive" interviews with Trump and other high government officials, boosting views and advertising revenue for 4 years. The right also has many media personalities that don't rely on cable news but to get their message out via the internet. Without the exclusive interviews, their ratings will tank. Imagine if the opposite happened where Biden only did the same amount of exclusive interviews with CNN.

You can also see how the media operates by covering the most extreme side of the political spectrum because those things get views. Same with many political internet personalities that are "click-bait". They don't give a crap about how it's dividing the country. It's about the money.

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

Maybe CNN wants people to take the seriously and not see them as biased for democrats.

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

Just In from NV:
Biden
49.5%
597,353

Trump
48.5%
585,311

Latino here experienced stop and frick by Sheriff CuntBag, they know voting Republican will mean they will get racially profiled. I usually visit PHX area 1-2 times a year for work and it has changed considerably in the past 5 years. It's close but we will pull through on AZ.

Fulton County (where much of Atlanta proper is) just reported another 6,000 or so votes, 76% of which went for Biden.

Trump’s statewide edge in Georgia went from 0.4 points to 0.3 points.

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

Good. Increase in the lead is what we want to see.

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

The Dems really needs a message and outreach change going forward, win or lose. This race should never have been this close. What they are saying does not connect with many people and they need to shed that socialist tag.

They need to frame what they are saying in a better way and start using more digital media.

I hope for better changes when this is all over.

Biden increases lead to 12K votes in Nevada.

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

I have been saying this for the longest time. Bernie Sanders and AOC + the Squad was the best thing to ever happen to the Republican Party. All of these people divided the Democratic Party and made into a moderates vs progressives.

And most moderate Democrats are leaving and going to the Republican Party because the Democratic Party has been overtaken by the leftists.

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

Anyone know whats the deal with AZ now?

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

And the other thing is...its because of these EXTREMELY left people that people on the right assume that Democrats and all "liberals" love the rioters/"antifa". Its fucked up. I don't want others to assume that I'm like that because I totally hate the rioters.

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

All the moderate democratic congresspeople lost re-election.

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

Totally agree. I thought the Democratic Party made a mistake when you have people like Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris and AOC encouraging people to go protest. They should have known how violent it was getting out there and rather than to encourage them to protest, they should have encouraged them to vote.

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

Pelosi needs to be fired

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

Regardless of how moderate you are in the Democratic Party, when you get tied down to Bernie Sanders and AOC and all the other leftist, you automatically become a leftist yourself based on party affiliation.

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

It's very scary to see scores of people defending Trump's fuckery, disheartening to say the least.

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

Trumpism is here to stay and Democrats messaging as you read above is partly to be blamed for this...Record number of latino voters went behind Trump, especially in Miami-Dade county in Florida. Also he continues to garner a lot of support in small rural towns from middle class working people. These are not all "racists". There are many good people out there. Both sides have very bad supporters and good/decent people. Look how close this election got, although I think Biden will win. This is something Democrats need to take seriously. They've also failed most likely to make gains in the Senate. I think both Republicans and Democrats need to reevaluate their respective messaging. Unless there is substantial compromise by both sides, I think we will have DACA for a very long time and it will be up to us to individually adjust via marriage.

If Nevada is decisively Biden, as now seems likely, and everyone calls it, Fox is going to have a crazy tense decision about uncalling Arizona. Because, if they don't, they got to call the whole thing.

A little inside baseball, but this dynamic may affect how different networks are handling Nevada. If you’ve called Arizona (which I don’t think you should have!), then a Nevada call would give Biden the election. But Nevada is probably callable at this point!

NATE SILVER

I’m not a decision desk, but I suppose I think Nevada is on the verge of being callable at this point. Two-thirds of the state’s population is in Clark County and Biden is gaining big in Clark County! Not sure I see the route for a Trump comeback.

Looks like a done deal to me. We'll wait and see.

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

The republican party has been moving to the right. The democrats always give in to the republicans, which moves the democrats and the entire country to the right. That's why you sometime see democrats as republicans, because some democrats of today would've been republicans in the past. "The squad" are basically people that are tired that the democrats give in every time. Similarly, something like this happened with the republican party call the "tea party" where they wanted to address the federal deficit. The squad happened because of high personal debt (healthcare, education, etc). These "groups" happen because of important issues that are ignored.

A functioning government would address these issues like the national debt, the cost of healthcare, education, etc. The problem is that the two sides won't come to the table and address these issues. Before people disagreed on the principles of ideas and would discuss those ideas. Now, people attack the character of the individual so policies are not even discussed. So the only thing that can pass into law these days are just budget bills to avoid government shut down.

If the democrats have some charisma and let the people know the issues they want to address like cost of healthcare, cost of education, wages, etc, these issues are very popular. $15 minimum wage passed in Florida by 23 points even though Florida is very red now. If you remove the democrat out of the equation and let people vote for a democratic policy, then it's clear the policy is very popular but the democrat (person) isn't popular. From this, you can tell Republicans are much better at politics than democrats. Trump is a very charismatic and entertaining person which gets past the very important barrier of even listening to a politician. If you were to list the top charismatic democratic leaders, AOC would be pretty high on that list so ironically or unironically, she's needed in the democratic party. Otherwise, you have the same cycle of democrats always giving to republicans and the whole country moves to the right. This is again, something the other side has as well called the tea party.

For the tea party and the "squad" to disappear, you only need to do one thing. Address the issues that's facing the country, aka do what governments are supposed to do. Otherwise these outlier groups will keep popping up over and over.

50k votes still to be counted in Georgia according to CNN

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

Trump campaign files lawsuit in Georgia claiming votes from dead people and people who have moved.

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

he's going to have a hard time fighting all these lawsuits. he doesn't have a concise messaging for his cases.

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

The problem now is that anyone trying to address will be labeled a liberal, socialist, or leftist. Dem need a deep internal review, get their message, get their plan, and get their people in line. They have 4 years to change their message because the Trumpers will be out next election. There is a good chance Dems lose the house during mid-terms based on what we are seeing now.

Main Focus- needs to be Covid, Jobs, Economy
It's not the right time for complete immigration reform, but you can sneak some parts in there when covid settles.
Daca, TPS, and so on can garner enough support as long as it's a narrow bill.

As unpleasant as that sound, that is the reality of the situation.

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

You never know man. There repubes might rule in Trump's favor even though we all know his allegations are baseless.

Looks like his supports already think that the votes were stolen from Trump. This clown is not gonna step down easily if he loses.
