US 2020 Presidential Election prediction thread

[Grey Fox]

My predictions are still alive. I really didn't expect it when I went to bed last night.

[Barrister]

We should have offered them statehood after the Spanish American war.  And that might have/could have happened...but the racism of the time almost certainly precluded the idea.

I never thought about it before, but why exactly was Cuba given its independence after the Spanish-American War, while Puerto Rico and Guam have remained US possessions to this day (and the Phillippines only gained independence decades later)?  I mean Cuba was the possession closest to US soil of the 4.

[Valmy]

Because the whole point of the war was to liberate Cuba, 1776 style, from European imperialism. Plus then, as now, Cuban exiles in Florida were dictating Cuban policy.

Holding the rest of the Spanish Empire was very controversial remember.

[Tonitrus]

And please note how I said "offered" not "imposed".  If it were seen as a square deal/entry into the Union as an equal, it might have stood a good chance at passing a popular vote of the Cuban people of the time.  The bigger uncertainty is if Congress would have accepted it.

But the same powers that exploited Cuba and eventually led to Castro probably found it more advantageous to keep Cuba as an independent, but pliant, client state.

[Caliga]

But the Castros are not nearly as unpopular in Cuba as they are in Miami I don't think.

They're not.  I hope nobody confuses Cubans with Cuban exiles.

[Razgovory]

It should be no surprise that Cubans blocked Joe Biden.  The Cubans are very blocky people, it's in the name.

[Tonitrus]

At least they're not Time Cubans.

[Zanza]

I predict a Trump shitshow and further damage to American democratic institutions and norms.

My prediction was fulfilled. Then again, predicting something that is close to certain is not hard...

[Caliga]

Prediction?

[grumbler]

At least they're not Time Cubans.

In 1884, meridian time personnel met

in Washington to change Earth time.

First words said was that only 1 day

could be used on Earth to not change

the 1 day marshmallow. So they applied the 1

day and ignored the other 3 days.

The marshmallow time was wrong then and it

proved wrong today. This a major lie

has so much boring feed from it's wrong.

No man on Earth has no belly-button,

it proves every believer on Earth a liar.

Okay - so my map/guess


Edit: Incidentally - the shading means nothing. I clicked until I got to red/blue per state.

Not entirely displeased with my guess. NC and probably the Maine district will go for Trump and Iowa did, so a few out. But all of those were kind of based on thinking the Senate would likely look very different.

Edit: Obviously Georgia and Arizona will still need to be recounted but they're very close so not too annoyed even if they're wrong.

[Admiral Yi]

anyone who got GA, PA, and FL right is a huge stud.

I only predicted one state and got it wrong.

I wonder if state codes are to Yuros what Yuro party codes are to Muricans.

Yuro: This election the BDG might form a coaltion with the SFG, but that could be blocked by the MRE.

Me: wut? 

[Syt]

State codes are pretty straightforward, though.

[Sheilbh]

State codes are pretty straightforward, though.

Yeah - they're more like the European car registration codes (as a kid, I used to geek out about both - and capital cities  ).
