Stop doomposting, the election results aren't required to be certified by states until a December 8th deadline. Which means orange fuhrer gets to cast doubt on elections and media outlets get to write anxiety raising clickbait until then. The GSA said they will wait until elections are certified AFAIK.

The GSA holding the funds up is putting a kink in poo poo, because there would be an additional month in which Biden's team could be on the ground getting poo poo running in the new government, which he won't get anymore. The transition will still happen on schedule and on time, but any additional time Biden's team was hoping to have to build up the government from scratch after 4 years of essentially nobody running poo poo is just not gonna happen.

Right - Trump and team aren't competent enough to pull off an actual coup, but they sure as poo poo can pull the rug up on democratic norms like they have been since 2016. And Republican leadership has to at least play lip service to his tantrum because they (a) have the Georgia runoffs to consider, and more importantly (b) need to figure out a way to preserve their base of support while transitioning Trump out. This means a couple more months of people at the highest levels of government undermining a legitimate turnover of power. e: This is all bad for small d democracy in the long run even if Biden is president on Jan 21, 2021.

Ding ding ding! Trump might be off in Fantasyfuckland, but the GOP won't turn down an opportunity to use his tantrum as a cover to sabotage Biden's first 100 days in office by forcing him to spend time doing poo poo *then* that should be getting done *NOW*.

hobbesmaster posted:He thinks Trump is going to throw him in a literal nazi concentration camp after a coup and freaking out about it. All I would read into it is that he probably needs an antipsychotic, benzo or a mood stabilizer. You've got it the other way 'round, he "came out" as a long-time GOP voter a couple days ago (causing everyone to actually notice previous bigot behavior that had been ignored) and I guess now thinks Biden is gonna gulag him and all other white christian conservatives or something.

Look at all you nerd babies worried about turning over. Trump barely did any during his transition cause the Obama staffers were mean to his people, I don't know what you're worried about. Seriously though, Biden has gone through this, probably has an actual plan with people that can execute (I hope). The emotions in here are on a whipsaw from hating Biden to worrying about him implementing his agenda. Jan 20th can't come soon enough but I want Trump to stew in his loser bullshit.

At the end of his live stream before the Twitter fest, he goes on a tangent in which he clearly believes Trump is executing a fascist coup. Edit: The fine people thing is disgusting, but like most white American men he probably has spent little to no time critically thinking about what it means to or even politics in general. warsow fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Nov 12, 2020 |

I'm kinda done with the election thread, and the election is kind of done too. Arizona's recount is *only* if the election is within 200 votes.

Flikken posted:Speaking of central PA I was a bit shocked to see centre county go blue. I know State College and all but still.... State College is bigger than you'd think. They're building highrises downtown and condos on every square inch that is within the State College school district. It was wall to wall Biden signs for the last two months. Get outside of State College and it was trump signs in the rest of Centre county, but nowhere near as many as I saw in most rural parts of the state in 2016.

For those who haven't seen it: https://twitter.com/Transition46/status/1326692666827034625?s=20 A somewhat obvious choice, but still a good one. Klain previously served as Chief of Staff for both Biden and Al Gore when they were VP, and was appointed to coordinate the government's response to the Ebola crisis back in 2014. Very competent person, and well-regarded by both moderates and the party's left.
