General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 306

I did a long bit about that and how the electoral college actually works in my intro video. Get that shit out of the way right at the beginning.

 

What the polling doesn’t account for

 

We love to see it

 

They become the American equivalent of Nazis, holding onto to Trumpism with a death grip. Make no mistake, they’re still gonna show their true colors and they will get in people’s faces about it.

 

If this happens and Trump wins TX by like 75,000 votes.... I dunno, at that point I'm pretty much done.

 

They're going to pull this off, huh?

 

I mean, there are definitely way too many people naively underrating their chances of doing so. Or writing it off as "fan fiction."

 

....

 

Yeah I totally don't understand that, it seems very likely this could happen, and seems to be ignoring the reality of the past 4 years

 

People who make their living analyzing polls don't really have a vested interest in going "actually the polls don't matter because republicans will just cheat to win"

 

cool!

 

Get his ass

 

Can't even pick up my diabetes medicine from Walgreens without running into a Trump mini rally smh

 

Happy Halloween, y’all, hopefully this’ll make you smile and laugh

 

isn't this supposed to be like, incredibly illegal!?!?

republicans are gonna steal the election and we're gonna be powerless to actually stop them

 

I have been doing a decent job at managing my anxiety this month but the closer we get the more it’s bubbling over

 

It’s been in the discussion from every single publication. The entire announcement of the 538 forecast page was with a disclaimer:

Before we proceed further, one disclaimer about the scope of the model: It seeks to reflect the vote as cast on Election Day, assuming that there are reasonable efforts to allow eligible citizens to vote and to count all legal ballots, and that electors are awarded to the popular-vote winner in each state. It does not account for the possibility of extraconstitutional shenanigans by Trump or by anyone else, such as trying to prevent mail ballots from being counted.

Seen various things from Harry, Nate(s), and WaPo. for months. It’s been in posts and podcasts and tweets too in depth.

 

“Fan fiction”

 

I hate how funny this is

 

It is never not funny that he can’t shut up about anything at all. Probably best sign the government doesn’t know about aliens.

 

Resources to help pour anxiety into some GOTV from home. Pairs well with ribs and candy.

 

Deep State

 

It’s just sad what we’ve made people have to go through to vote. National vote by mail should be a priority. It’s easy. It works.
