The Democrats are at risk of actually losing ground in the House and they didn't win the Senate, this isn't the clean response to Trumpism they were selling when they packaged Biden and there's gonna be infighting.

Yes but also the vast majority of lost Dems were conservative, so the left wing of the party is relatively more powerful than it was before in some respects.

I wonder if any of the investigations into Trump that were held up and hamstrung now have a chance of being looked into anew if Biden wins. Unredacted Mueller report, etc.

They can and absolutely should. Even if Biden goes full decorum poisoning, the unredacted reports need to be released. But all of those things that turned up criminal activity around "individual 1" need to be followed up on. Even if Trump writes "I bigly pardon your favorite president (me!) for all crimes!" on a piece of paper, full and complete investigations are needed just to have the truth out there. There won't be any more hiding from subpoenas behind made up concepts and sending the courts in circles.

One of my bigger fears is that Biden doesn't do any of this out of decorum. That ignoring of previous administration's crimes has happened pretty much every time in history so far, but Trump isn't a secretary or two self-dealing (still mad about Teapot Dome, BTW). This has been naked, open corruption that has undermined all of our institutions and that needs to be addressed.

I have a 657k Trump lead with 1.43 million mail ballots remaining to count. 272k of that in Philly -- it's only ~20% counted.

Highly unscientific math I just did: mail votes counted so far are breaking 77% Biden. He needs 73% of the rest to win.

Sources:
https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/
https://www.votespa.com/About-Elections/Pages/Counting-Dashboard.aspx

e: 1/3 of Philadelphia precincts haven't reported in-person votes as well.

Just gonna quote myself and update.

1.066M left to count in PA. The 1.6M mail ins counted so far are breaking 78% Biden. The lead has shrunk from 657k to 370k. He needs 67.5% of the rest to win.

quote:

GOP sources say Trump had a ‘temper tantrum’ after seeing results swing toward Biden: CNN’s Gangel

Republicans close to the White House told CNN’s Jamie Gangel on Wednesday that President Donald Trump flew off the handle after he saw his early-night election lead slipping away from him.

While discussing the president’s false declaration of victory early Wednesday morning, Gangel said that her sources say that Trump reacted with rage and disbelief after seeing Democratic rival Joe Biden surging ahead in Michigan as more traditionally blue counties reported their totals.

“A senior official who is normally an ally of the president said that Trump had a temper tantrum last night,” she explained. “That he saw that the numbers could start going against him, that he wanted to declare victory while he thought that he was ahead.”

She then said that several Republicans sent her messages expressing disgust with the president.

“The Republicans I spoke to this morning are not happy with him,” she said. “Let me read three quotes from three different officials: The first person said, ‘He is behaving as expected, badly.’ The second person said that ‘Trump is afraid of mail-in ballots’ and the third person said that what he said last night was, quote, ‘indefensible.'”

In the RadioLab episode I was referencing from yesterday (Bloc Party - it's good listen to it), it gets even wilder.

There's a sect of Iraqis called the Chaldean's that have a long history of working in the Ford plants in MI.

They also have traditionally been voting with the Catholic bloc and therefore Republicans because, mainly of the Abortion single issue.

Well then ICE, under Trump, actually raided a bunch of them and detained them because a lot of them are not citizens (but it was like a compromise where they agreed only to round up 200 or so).

A lot of them found this deplorable of course, but they were interviewing one guy IN HIDING essentially who still said he'd vote for Trump simply because of abortion. His pain and suffering and potential death didn't matter. Simply that Republicans stay in power to overturn abortion.

Yeah a big part of American Politics is that a significant minority of this country are entirely single issue voters and that issue is abortion.

They've been manipulated over decades through religion and political propaganda to the point where you could now violate every single one of the Ten Commandments in a row on camera and as long as you opposed abortion you'd still get the evangelical vote.

See, that's one case where I absolutely believe that people are lying about why they vote the way they do. Evangelicals love Trump because they're roughly the same kind of shithead he is.

Get more people to vote in the primaries if you want Bernie

Also push for overthrowing the Electoral College and ending first-past-the-post and winner-takes-all states to have alternative votes and popular vote and then we can have a real 3rd party and end this stupid Democrat-Republican horseshit that ruins everything. Until we pass laws to change how voting works, everything will always be awful.

Dems have got to get on with their messaging that abortions FALL under societies with proper healthcare and equal and just societies. Instead of just saying we're "pro choice" it's got to be "we're not only pro-choice, but our policies help LOWER the abortion rate in this country vs Republicans."
