US Election Week 2020

[katmai]

Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania won't be known till tomorrow night at earliest.

[HisMajestyBOB]

But do mail-in votes counted after Election Day actually count? 

[katmai]

And senate let's see how Iowa, Maine, Montana and Arizona go.

[The Larch]

Last update from me (on the phone and in bed already  )

Idaho called for Trump, California, Oregon and Washington for Biden.

I'm disgusted that it wasn't such a blow-out that there would be no question tonight. I know, wishful thinking. But still....I just wanted to think better of my country.

[Barrister]

What a shitshow.  Good grief.

[Sheilbh]

What a shitshow.  Good grief.

Yep and it feels very likely that lots will be going to the courts

[Oexmelin]

The Democrat leadership was so ill-equipped, and ill-chosen, for this moment. I will never understand how they have squandered so much time. And ordinary Democrats have also been  astonishingly passive, in the face of the threat.

[derspiess]

Fiery but mostly passive.

[Oexmelin]

True. Giving money =/= activism.

[Syt]

I am dismayed that millions of Americans look at Trump's performance these last 4 years and think, "Yup, I'd like me some more of that."

[Monoriu]

It looks like Trump is ahead in most battleground states.  So it may well rain in downtown Lo's Angeles after all.

[The Minsky Moment]

I'm dismayed that even one American would say that.

[FunkMonk]

The major repudiation of Trump was the dream and the dream died.

I mean, Biden may still probably win this but Trumpism itself will still have legs to stand on.

The major repudiation of Trump was the dream and the dream died.

I mean, Biden may still probably win this but Trumpian itself will still have legs to stand on.

I hoped Biden would win, but Trumpism was not an accident. I thought this, at least, was clear. But I now have to come to the conclusion that, for many, the lessons of 2016 have not been drawn. At all. To think that Trumpism was an accident was to think that the wrong would correct itself magically. Even RBG seemed to think that. One could thus simply wait for the election. No need to do anything more.
