They rigged out Sanders! They lost fairly square.
Now that Trump has no re-election baggage, the first person to be shown wide door is "world top epidemiologist" Dr. Fauchi gates
Look like status quo remains. The power of rural voters. The silent majority as urbanites talk themselves hoarse.
What are you people talking about? I would suggest you sit this one out. Watch Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada as early and mail in votes are counted. This was the Democrats strategy, encourage people to vote early before they change their minds. It seems to be working so do not chest thump too early, it’s going to be very close but I give the Democrats an edge.
Don't see == trump needs 60 - he needs about 4 states - Michigan, Penn, Georgia and North Carolina - where he enjoys leads - he just need to win those 4.Four [4] years, Pundit. It's Ruto who will serve five years as official opposition leader. That is, if he does not end up in Den haag by 2022.
Poor Biden is left with tiny states with 3,6,10 votes..he is kaput.
We have another 5yrs of trump.What are you people talking about? I would suggest you sit this one out. Watch Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada as early and mail in votes are counted.

Michigan is also very tight. Biden catching up pole pole. Only half of Detroit voted tallied so far and now difference between Trump and Biden 20k.
Biden will win. Millions of uncounted mail ballots majority leaning to Democrats. Trump took a leaf from baba :)
You mean Kibaki? :D :D :DThere is always a first time.The klanmen are coming for your ass, I expecct mass shouting to skyrocket after Friday, Trump might as well sink into the white house bunker and pop a cyanide pill. Myself I wanted him to win.
Very hard to pull a Tharaka Nithi in the US.Biden will win. Millions of uncounted mail ballots majority leaning to Democrats. Trump took a leaf from baba :)
Yep Trumpis toast. If Biden holds Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada and Maine which definitely will go democratic he wins with around 271- 272 electoral college.

Toast? Not yet. But teetering there. There is even a realistic scenario where he wins PA and Biden hits 270 on the nose.

At this point Biden doesn't need PA. If he holds WI, MI and Nevada,remember Maine is going to go Democratic maybe minus that one congressional district then Trump is toast. At this point watch out for that slim margin in Nevada. Trump can win PA, GA and NC but will still loose
Njuri, 4yrs ago, I didn't care, but in these corona times, we need a sober leader, not a fumbling idiot. Trump break was good, to check the liberals, but time now for serious leadership.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8909537/Joe-Biden-starts-election-day-attending-morning-mass-visiting-son-Beaus-grave-Delaware.htmlThere is always a first time.The klanmen are coming for your ass, I expecct mass shouting to skyrocket after Friday, Trump might as well sink into the white house bunker and pop a cyanide pill.

It's practically over for Trump. He actually might even lose GA the way things are going.
Pa is disapponting
Biden is your president, waiting for Arizona and Nevada and it’s now just a formality. Highly impressed with the Democrats and their chess game. It’s why I say Ruto is campaigning too early, if there was early voting in Kenya, we can say he is winning but 1.5yrs in politics is a long time. For all we know, he could be fighting another case at the ICC.
At this point Trump should just concede. But don't bet on it - might be another week or longer of court drama. 2000 redux on big scale. How do we lecture TZ after this :)SHUT THE FCUK UP. TELL THAT TO RAIRA OMOLLO OJINGA. Robina don't remove the spec in your brothers eye when yours is MBIG. Respect. :D
So if trump wins PA 20, Georgia and NC - 31 - that 51 plus Alaska 3 - 54 plus 213 - could take him to 265 - so he basically need either Nevada or Arizona.
The MAGA paka is still able to do it.

What's this story circulating the interwebz about fraud in the Midwest? Are they making it up, ama what? https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/04/yes-democrats-are-trying-to-steal-the-election-in-michigan-wisconsin-and-pennsylvania/
Fox and the Daily Wire haven't reported it, so I'm inclined to think the facts claimed about pure Biden voter dumps are fake but it's rapidly flying through conservative circles and might be the reason for the MAGA groups storming some counting booth in Phoenix. (Or is it Detroit??? Or both? Not sure where the protests are).

Trump cannot concede. His personality disorder does not leave room for that. If anything, I expect him to become more unhinged and dangerous in the coming days.

I, too, am shocked at the "familiar" ring to these developments, as a Kenyan. I wonder if this level of contestation will be the US norm going forward or if it'll ease up after Trump? At least in Kenya our bazillion ethnicities, young "democracy," and ever-shifting/super dynamic political alignments more or less keep us from totally splitting, though we came close in 2017. The US effectively has these two coalesced "nations" co-existing in one republic that seem increasingly antagonistic in their relations. Do you think it holds in the coming decades? Or is this just a Trump-era phenomenon?

Trumpism is just a culmination and symptom of the problem. It's a decades old problem, dating back to the 60s Southern Strategy by the GOP after the Civil Rights act. Some argue it dates back to the American civil war. After the civil war, the defeated side was not crushed and vanquished. They were instead reinstated into polite society for the sake of peace and continued to wage that war by other means.
Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment.

Thank you, @esglaude.pic.twitter.com/rT5CIGJU9O
Is it racism or classism? It appears almost like rural (small towns) versus urban (Cities) split. And those votes are kenyan like 80% for trump in rural America; and 20% for Biden; and in the cities the reverse is true.
The map has never really changed - coastal populous cities on edge of the country - both east and west coast - support democrats - always blue
The middle large swathe of America solidly republican - always red.
But as long as there is good balance - it's no biggie. 4yrs for rural America. 4 yrs for urban America. Republican and Democrat make for good PING PONG. We need the same in kenya - 5yrs for Kalenjin; 5yr for kikuyu :) or we can spice it up - GEMA versus Non-GEMA ping-pong
It's not really racism like you have in Kenya - because in kenya - whether in Kisumu or Malindi or Pokot - a Luo or Kikiyu or kalenjin will vote certain way.
There are millions of whites - in cities - who don't subscribe to this racism. It more a rural America thing.
Urban America is all nice and cosmopolitan. Rural America remain white and mostly backward. And thanks to gun ownership - it's pretty closed scary place for non-whites generally.
REMINDER TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURES, YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER THE CHOOSING OF ELECTORS, NOT ANY BOARD OF ELECTIONS, SECRETARY OF STATE, GOVERNOR, OR EVEN COURT. YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY -- ARTICLE II OF THE FED CONSTITUTION. SO, GET READY TO DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY

In a very broad sense, there is an urban/rural divide. But there aren't enough people in the rural areas to match the cities. That mass of red you see in red/blue electoral college maps is mostly just empty land. The farms are huge. The reality is more like a blue urban core, a purple suburban area, and red as you radiate further out.
Outside of a handful of states like New Jersey and Massachusetts, most states are purple. Blue around urban areas and reddening as you move further out. So even in a red state like Arkansas, you will have deep blue around Little Rock, and red as you radiate out. Generally the more diverse an area is, the bluer it is.
As an example, to win statewide in Illinois, you just need to win Cook County(almost half the state population) and then remain competitive(even if losing) everywhere else. The suburbs around Cook County also lean blue. The rest of the state is deep red with blue holdouts in Champagne, Springfield, East St. Louis etc. It's a pattern across many states with big cities.
As for racism, it's part of America's culture. In my experience, you can find it anywhere. Of course in bigger cities, there is less social license for the blatant variety - so people are conditioned to abhor it. It doesn't mean it's not there. But at least it's not tolerated.
Granted, one party has made peace with it(arguably made it a cornerstone), and the other has made a point to fight it. Demographic change is at the heart of the current turmoil in American politics.
Robina,
Proposition 22 passed with overwhelming majority exempting gig workers being classified as employees. Is this a clear indication of unions and democrats overreach in California? If uber and lyft drivers were some obscure workers it could have passed.

Robina,
I know you are a Jehova witness MAGA loving nubian. Are you still going to court today
Trump alleges brazen rigging.. apparently stuffed ballots are being sneaked in by Dems in PA and GA.. they were waiting for legal votes to be counted then smuggle in as many as it takes to scuttle his lead. Watch at the tail end the Sky News man says it sounds like a presser on Zimbabwe or Belarus :(
bitmask - we may need to open the servers here :)
Proposition 16 also failed in California. The race based preference proposal was soundly rejected. Goes to show even in Blue california citizens are against race preference mandates. Racial identity politics practiced by democrats doesn't resonates with most of America including California. That's surprising.Robina,
Proposition 22 passed with overwhelming majority exempting gig workers being classified as employees. Is this a clear indication of unions and democrats overreach in California? If uber and lyft drivers were some obscure workers it could have passed.
I aways agreed with Uber - taxi drivers OWN the cabs and are in fact Uber partners. Cabs were there long before Uber - they can actually quit any day WITHOUT NOTICE - what "employees" do that in any other industry? They can even form their own app company.. but cannot voluntarily join optional app and claim to be employees. AirBnB obviously doesn't employ condo owners.
Robina may work for multiple companies too - split my hours - as gigger or contractor NOT employee. To become proper employee I must commit and moonlight quietly under the radar.
Unions have LOST on this one. Mainly because Uber consumers- riders- are the majority and love low rates and professional service. Accepting statewide referendum is a very bad strategy for unions. They will lose everywhere.
