Given the current states called, Trump with Florida and Biden winning North Carolina, 538's interactive map leaves Trump with a 2% chance to win it all.

Not All Americans.

A lot of us are near sick that this is even a contest because Donald Trump has been a laughing stock for like forty loving years.

davecrazy: Nov 25, 2004; I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.

Daily Kos:

quote:

Tuesday, Nov 3, 2020 � 8:50:16 PM EST � Mark Sumner
Ohio continues to be the puzzler at the moment. Unlike North Carolina, most of the vote counted there was not early vote. With 55% in, Biden has an 11% edge and there are still about half the votes out in the bluest counties.

Tuesday, Nov 3, 2020 � 8:56:13 PM EST � Mark Sumner
With 73% of the vote in, Biden continues to hold a 4% edge in North Carolina. On the map there are not a lot of red rural counties still outstanding. However, it�s not so much geographic data that�s missing, it�s chronological. Three quarters of the vote that has been counted so far has been early vote. It�s still difficult to tell whether Biden�s early vote totals will hold up as the remaining 27% of vote, almost all of it Election Day vote, is added in.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Ornedan posted:

Might be a relative proportions thing. Those that voted for Trump last time did so again, and everyone else stayed home this time instead.

Biden not offering anything better than what he'd inherit from Trump, who in turn inherited the forced sterilisation camps from Obama, might have been a mistake.

Im sorry but what

Exit polls had 60+% saying they're at least as well off economically as they were 4 years ago.

Of course. If heating something up in the oven counts as cooking, that would a really low bar.

mind the walrus: Sep 22, 2006

My complete amateur understanding is that anything short of a really firm 70/30 split for Biden over the nation is gonna get contested by Trump, no matter what, so while they'd be a good step they're only the first stage in what will probably go down as the most turgid attempt to form a junta in history.

How is Trump doing so well with Hispanics vs Biden? Biden didn't consider them on his path to victory but loving Trump wants to build a wall to keep them out, is separating families at the border, says they're not sending their best, etc etc etc. HOW?

He's done an unprecedented lack of outreach towards them, to the extent many Biden surrogates were complaing about it, and Biden was yelling at immigration activists to vote for Trump.

I'm no political scientist, but if he nabs OH and NC then grabbing Texas would be the electoral equivalent of stomping directly on Donnie's nuts I believe.
