US Election Week 2020

[Malthus]

Did I mention that I love Philadelphia? I've never been there before, but watching the numbers creep up there ...

I have a soft spot for Philadelphia despite never having been there: Rocky, cheesesteaks, it's Always Sunny, Gritty, rioting sportsfans and I've met loads of Americans travelling and the few I've met from Philadelphia have been great fun and have an amazing accent.

Wanted to visit for a while - mainly to try the cheesesteaks in their natural territory.

It would be awesome when this shit year is over and the pandemic is done, to do a Languish trip to Philadelphia ... may be a dream, but a fun one. 😀

[crazy canuck]

I just wanted to make quite clear that I am anything but a single party voter!

In my life I have voted for:

Reform Party
Progressive Conservative Party (or Alberta and Manitoba)
Canadian Alliance
Conservative Party
Libertarian Party
Wildrose Party
Yukon Party
United Conservative Party

I feel this. I have voted in fewer elections but I've voted for:
Green Party
Labour Party
Lib Dems (mistakes were made )
Trade Union and Socialist Coalition

Far from a one party voter

The joke is those are all essentially the same Conservative party.

It is just that the Reform party went through a number of iterations.  He never left that party, he just followed it through all its name changes.

The context totally changes if Democrats pick up the Senate seats, but focusing just on the headlines of Biden winning Georgia is missing something.

If the Democrats somehow take one or both of those Senate seats in January then we can talk about how purple Georgia is going to be.

Barely beating Trump with lots of Libertarian votes is not going to cut it.

I'll be up for it.

And the interesting point would be to compare Georgia now since they introduced automatic voter registration which, I understand, was in 2016 - rather than just this one cycle.

That would be fun

Edit:  Dorsey better be there too or you will never hear the end of it.

Philadelphia is a really cool town, I like it a lot.

I feel like we haven't had a proper Languish meet for over a decade.  I'd be in.

Biden up by 12.3 K in Pennsylvania ...

Unfortunately we may have to wait till 2022, or will there be a window in summer 2021?


Edit... that would be for the Languish meet not the completion of the Pennsylvania count.

I think it will be down to when a vaccine becomes widely available. Summer is optimistic, but perhaps possible?

I'm a former Catalan nationalist conservative voter (hey, I was young!)
