I was so invested in this even as a European. It’s time to completely cut off all American politics for me now, this is just too depressing. At least I don’t leave in the USA, but I really feel for the poor 50% of the sane people there. Evil has truly won.

That's a disgusting statement.
It's proof of what politics is in America at the moment though, completely polarized and nobody can see beyond their personalised news feed.
I am absolutely right and good and the other side are absolutely wrong and evil
And thank god it is. Or George Carlin, your pick
America is a right wing country with an electoral system that gives one party advantage.
Democrats essentially have to massively over perform to win elections.
Has anyone asked why it is always the left seeking a perfect candidate and never the right?
Without Covid, this would have been a landslide for Trump. I find that staggering.

But that's a factual statement. I don't think anyone arguing in good faith can deny that Trump is a racist, sexist, authoritarian asshole. If you like him, you have no problem with these things. What's disgusting about saying that?
I actually know highly educated Norwegians that support Trump... it’s a big minority here tough. But pretty incredible nonetheless.
How can anyone that supports Trump not be racist/sexism/etc. or be okay with racism/sexism/etc.? You know, if they wouldn't they wouldn't vote him. It's an easy computation, really.
Bollocks.
Tell you what, the first time I meet a Trump voter who is not in one of those buckets (or possibly in the stupid/misinformed one as mentioned later) then I’ll agree with you.
Yes. It's totally deliberate too. The right were very clearly starting to lose the argument over low taxes, so changed the argument.
Well, yeah. They do exist but there are, thankfully, very few of those. Most of the Trump rats in Norway are Frpr's.
And you don't win the battle there with soft gentle politics. I don't expect centrist parties across the world will take that on board though.
Watch The West Wing and remind yourself it was made less than 20 years ago.
It watches like a naive utopia compared to today.

Establishment Democrats would prefer Trump to Bernie.
From what I gather it will be legal for recreational use, so tourists should be able to purchase it too. Can't take it back to NY legally though (for now).

I wish I could disagree completely, but I can’t.
Even FOX didn’t have it at 99% though (I switched over to see how the other side view things for a bit).
I blame the Trump supporters in Nigeria
Biden's lead is just 23k in nevada.. 2% ahead .. safe?
Think about how stupid the average person is. And then remind yourself that this person has the right to elect a head of state. Is it then really that surprising to see someone like Trump win?
I’ve always found it strange how much faith people have in the intelligence and altruism of others. Arguably it’s this delusion that leads to shock when something like this happens.
She’s a charlatan with almost no support in the party. Also, most Dems don’t care if one is a veteran, so maybe she should try as a Republican.
If Biden wins Georgia and Nevada and Arizona, he can get to the WH with only Michigan right?
MSNBC has WI lead down to 108k. There are roughly 211k mail absentees left to count in Milwaukee, and Biden needs to win around 3.5 to 1 to pull it off
Didn’t check GA, but was reporting weirdness for Milwaukee.
What's happened in last 10 mins to see markets tumbling again. Some more positive trump news must have come out
Olly didn’t use the word evil.
Your post is actually illustrates something equally(or more) dangerous. Terrible human beings like Trump have been normalized and we're supposed to take them seriously. If not, then we've somehow been brainwashed by our news feed?
It's just common sense to be disgusted by Trump. If you like or don't have a problem with him, then you're either misinformed or.. Well, let's not go there.
No way in hell in any significant number.
I think whatever comes out Wisconsin in the next 10/15 will be hugely important as it’ll give an indication of how many mail in ballots are trending D.
Every time I read a post and notice it’s from baz my brain automatically deletes it. It’s incredible.
It's not a democracy as far as I'm concerned. They need to bin the two party system, get rid of the ridiculous gerrymandering, make voting a right for all citizens over the age of 18 (or whatever limit they want) and get in proportional representation in some form so votes on parties outside the big two aren't wasted.
It’s what is keeping me from giving into sleep
I like your optimism, but this is 2020. It'll be more like this, and the SC will award Wisconsin or Pennsylvania to Trump over some shady ballot thing.
I should get Nate Silver's job.
And the Poles obviously.
There’s another batch of about 80k votes from D heavy Clark county soon. Would push it back up.
Ultimately the margin would be around 20-30k. Both sides performed near identical to 2016, controlling for registration.
You speak like there is one uniform view held by Trump voters. I acknowledge some cannot be reasoned with, just as you should acknowledge that some just need educating.
Checky
The Andrew Johnson Project endorses Mitt Romney for 2024.
I really think PA is gone. Biden really needs Michigan and Georgia in particular.
