Whoever wins, we lose.
i'm all for doomer memes like this, but it's gonna be hard for me not to see trump losing as anything but a resounding victory
It's a short term victory 100%, but damn it if I'm not still salty none of Bernie's policies are on the table for Biden. I can't see potentially 8 more years of "nothing will fundamentally change" as a good thing for everybody. People need socialized healthcare like right fucking now.

it's worth noting that bernie practically begged his base to vote for biden, though

it's not ideal, but the path to socialized healthcare down the line does start with biden

I may not be representative of Bernie’s base, but personally I have no loyalty to him; I just liked his ideas and policy. I saw no incentive to vote for Biden beyond him not being Trump.

>FL at 98% reporting
>Trump has a 400k vote lead
>Wont call

Oh for fucks sake just call it; they called Cali at fucking 12%.

can someone explain to me how it says biden won VA despite being 2 points behind there

Ian · November 03, 2020, 11:07:26 PM

I think there's an expectation that the mail-in ballots are going to overwhelmingly be for Biden.

"we'll be taking this to the Supreme Court to illegally disregard mail in ballots"

how you can support trump right now other than some Billy Bob "tarda being ignored" bullshit is beyond me. this is unironic dictator energy he’s pulling *at the last second*.

Zonda · November 04, 2020, 02:30:55 AM

Good luck with the election my dudes.

big dog · November 04, 2020, 02:33:57 AM

How can a guy who let over 200K people die even get this close to winning.

Trump voters are fucking vermin.

AZ going blue is super fucking pog, i'm delighted to be wrong about that one

at this rate, it's gonna come down to either MI or GA (somehow) and sadly, i'm thinking MI is a lost cause

but i can't actually bank on GA going blue either, because historically it's been a foregone conclusion for republicans

fuck dude

Aren't most of the metropolitan hubs in all the battleground states still to declare? Idk mang, wouldn't proclaim MI as a write off yet.

Ian · November 04, 2020, 08:03:43 AM

Sweet Jesus this is close. If it ends the way it's being forecast at this moment on Google, Biden will win by a mere two electoral votes.

Mordo · November 04, 2020, 08:06:04 AM

Biden is just now barely edging Trump by a ball hair in Michigan.

It isn't over till it's over.

Mordo · November 04, 2020, 04:08:30 PM

Michigan and Wisconsin called for Biden.

Trumpanzees are coping hard.

Who here /riding with Biden/.

Verbatim · November 04, 2020, 04:12:26 PM

imagine four years of /pol/ tears

the AP hasn't called MI for some reason, i wonder what they're waiting for

Nah that was torso. I've only ever been to the up once and it was terrifying.

So GOP still holds the senate, and while the House is still in Democrat control they lost some seats. This would normally be the part where everyone will spend the next two years fully expecting a real "red wave" in the midterms now that Biden pretty much has this in the bag, but after the lack of a blue wave in 2018 I don't know what to expect anymore.

If the GOP wants to go back to the way things were before Trump came down the escalator, I un-ironically think Jeb would be a good contender against Biden.

But we all know they're going to do what both parties do best and stall for the next four years and we'll end up with a 10 man primary like 2012.

Jeb is a mess. Jeb is a waste. Jeb is a big fat mistake.

HERE'S HOW ¡JEB! CAN STILL WIN

big dog · November 04, 2020, 05:50:40 PM

Can't wait for things to go back to 4 years of Democrats pretending their country is fine so that when another Trump comes along and wins in 2024 they'll go back to saying things like "This isn't who we are" or "This isn't the America I love".

Trump: "Don't do mail in voting they'e gonna get lost in the mail or discarded or not counted!"

Starts losing to mail ins

Trump: "WTF Mail in voting OP Supreme Court nerf pls. My dad works and ninendo and he's gonna ban you from Xbox Live"
