Trump was trending to win WI, MI and PA which would've secured his victory, so they stopped counting the votes. You know for a country always banging on about your freedom, you do some scummy stuff. Imagine stopping vote counts on election day. The steal is on now.

Hey, look at me! I'll change this guy's post because he disagrees with me! Echo chambers are the best! Make sure to grab a molotov cocktail and burn the White House to the ground when Trump winds up winning!

Well, looks like one needs two and the other needs 4.
Lo and behold.

Heard the same thing for the pro Trump case (other states probably). Bring sources for legislation that would stop the vote count on election day. Because thats highly unusual.

Only legislation I've heard about was such, that mail in votes would not be counted if they reached the voting place even the day after the election (no matter what the postal stamp date says). And even thats problematic enough.

But please digg up sources, I'd want to read them.

Trump calling on the supreme court is that btw. Voting supression. They can and will decide, when to cut off counting.

If Americans want to re-elect their fascist dictator then they have every right to do as a democratic nation. Let's not make up such blatantly pathetic lies though. It's embarrassing to think anybody is going to believe it. Next post should say the sky is purple and see if that lands better

Fun with graphs. :) (You dont see the 0 point of the y axis.) Thats 1.5% - and the market pricing in risk of a Trump win. :) If half of the loss was absorbed by a gain yesterday... chances are thats not that much of a loss.. ;)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Final election results probably only a week from now. What fun. ;) Be civil for that time, folks... ;)

src: Some experts opinion. ;) (As its just an opinion, I dont bother finding a source in english, have just read it in my local (german) newspaper.)

  1. There's no evidence of Biden doing anything super inappropriate.
  2. The two candidates are night and day on policy, temperament, etc.
  3. Biden probably gets you 90% of the way there on just about every issue you likely care about. Trump takes you backwards.
  4. If it were a case of "the lesser of two evils," the lesser of two evils is literally less evil by definition.
  5. People who vote for Trump and people who vote for neither are, to use your words, "equally trash in my book."
  6. "Where it's gotten us" is people not voting for Democratic candidates for the reasons you listed above has gotten us Trump and everything that came with him.
  7. Your selfishness and mindlessly lazy platitudes are causing demonstrably physical harm.
You absolutely need a lecture on why you should vote for Biden. You are literally voting against your own civil rights by not doing so.

Worse, you're selfishly voting against everybody else's civil rights. You're acting like a child.
Joe Biden is not a pedo, and Lilith is 100% responsible for not voting for Biden. The "both sides suck" mantra is also intellectually lazy. I stand by my post.
Posts like these are the reasons why some people doesn't take you seriously. If you want people to take you seriously, this is not the way to do it.
I did not expect to see or read this kind of post from you, but there is a first time for everything, I suppose. This is a classic sign of narcissistic personality disorder.

There afraid to release trumps win because riots will sweep through the streets again.
You dont know how statistics work, do you? ;)

You have a margin of error. If results fall within that (i.e. if they are close), you cant declare a winner. Even if Trump declared himself to be a WinnerTM, but he always does that. Against all reason.. ;)

If results are outside of margin of error. You can declare a winner, because the amount of uncertainty you still have, concerning remaining votes, doesnt matter.

It's not as close as you'd think.

View attachment 232647 I'll give you Wisconsin, but that's it.
If you look at the percentages of the individual states, anything below 4% is 'too close to call early' (just an overall generalization based on how this usually works in my countries elections - but in that regard statistics are pretty much the same all over). Also you have to know vote count percentage (so how much of the vote has been counted).

I'm just inferring 'not that (sufficiently) much', because of the large amounts of mail in votes this time around, which take longer to count. So depending on when states started to count those (some started yesterday/today), you have your answer. (Basically: Final results will take up to a week to emerge.)

If one of the candidates had a bigger lead (percentage wise, in every individual state), you'd have a declared winner sooner. :)

Ups sorry, I missquoted the expert I actually didnt quote.

Final results to probably be expected 'at the end of the week' not 'in a weeks time'. So a few days sooner. :)

Welp, I slept. Looks like I was right about not having a definitive answer just yet on who won. The polls were indeed off, but that's to be expected because they were mostly run by Liberals. It's now a close race to the finish. Hopefully the mail in ballots can be counted in an orderly fashion.

you just gonna completely sidestep what i said or

Nope, I ignored your "total deaths" because in the grand scheme of things it's not that many people.

These personal attacks really don't make much sense. You've been cited multiple times for sharing links to right wing extremist propaganda websites. Not me. Not only have you been called out for extreme bias, you've even attempted (unsuccessfully) to defend the use of these websites.

The websites I share tend to alternate between left-center and right-center, which are moderate or least biased. The websites you share lean toward the propaganda side of the chart shown in the image below:

extremeright041.png


Extremely biased.

So, somehow me pointing out you've got major bias is a personal attack, but you then doing the same isn't? Pointing out you only post information from the left wasn't a personal attack it's a fact. If I was personally attacking you I'd call your mother a bitch. You also keep posting links to all sorts of Liberal sources and never post any Conservative ones. That's not fair nor balanced. I admit I'm a conservative, but all my sources aren't conservative pages and just because you don't like my sources and label anything you don't like as "conspiracy theories" doesn't really discredit them. I know that tactic works on your Left learning friends who are dumb as rocks, but it doesn't work on me.

If Americans want to re-elect their fascist dictator

Guy might well be a raging incompetent knob in a time when that is hard to afford but fascist dictator? Guy can barely get his own party on side most of the time, the (about 50%) opposition do whatever they like (this despite being massively not unified and otherwise disorganised themselves), various internal states do whatever they like (up to and including utter defiance and disrespect), most of his policies he really really wants, political prisoners seem few and far between (we have not even had a nice witch hunt a la the communist hunts of the 50s) and even that wall nonsense seems largely a bust compared to the grand vision sold.
About as close as you get to the average dictator is his inner circle seems to be cycled out every few months and thrown to the wolves.

If that is the quality of today's fascist dictator then things really were better back in the 50s.

The sky is purple, or actually violet the closest association to purple. So it's a bluish violet.

Violet color has a shorter wave length and is scattered most by our earths atmosphere, & the color we see is the one that is scattered most. It appears a light pale blue without any violet because of the way the cones in our eyes work which isn't perfect and can't pick up all the wavelengths that exist.

What we perceive and see in this world isn't actually what it looks like in real life. We only see things that way because of our senses which are limited. We only see what our bodies allow us to see. We can't see ultra violet light but some insects can like bees. In actuality the world you see is filtered by our senses. You are seeing a filtered not true viewpoint. The world looks way different then what you are seeing with your bare eyes. You can't see everything that exists in the world.
