In reality he’s not going to do any of that shit. He’ll leave. Trump’s insecure and cares how things look. If he is seen being frog marched out of the White House, it will be the cherry on top. Trump’s talked a big game, but ultimately when push comes to shove he’s not going to do anything

Reactions immediately following elections are prone to high emotions and people seeking narrative control. Exit polling data, especially this election, needs some major recalibration. It’s useful for maybe the broadest, most visible trends right now, and that’s really about it.

Oh they definitely want to be a state.  But the thing about things like statehood for Puerto Rico, DC, getting rid of or heavily reforming the EC, is that if we ever get the power to do it, it won’t matter because that requires such a staggering level of consensus that we’ll have already accomplished a lot anyways.  

I especially like audiology associates guy because he’s really good with the Jobson horne probe, which produces the most satisfying removal moments.

Uncertainty?

H0nestly Maine is not shocking to me only because Collins has always outperformed by very wide margins and Maine is indeed a bunch of fucking weirdos.

Highlight aspects of the issues that are common to them!

Also, Susan Collins is outperforming Trump by almost 20 points in Maine.  What a bunch of fucking weirdos.

We’ve got at least another day, if not a few more, of counting in PA, MI & WI before anything can even begin to be settled.

Worth noting that at that church in Nigeria they all probably are like ... totes cool with murdering gay people.

Beyoncé famously waited to endorse Hillary Clinton until the day before the 2016 election, and in 2018, endorsed then-Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke just three days before the midterms. So it’s no surprise she gave the Biden-Harris ticket the same treatment.

Yeah I think it’s important to tune in and also prepare yourself to not panic at any outcome. If things go wrong, then even if the worst possible things that could happen in a 2nd Trump term are guaranteed to happen, panicking isn’t going to prepare you for them.

I remember reading 538, seeing Trump’s rising chances in the days before the election and wondering if Weiner’s weiner was going to be the tipping point.

I suspect in that sense he’ll probably be like Obama. The DoJ will be run by someone competent, but the realities of the American legal system mean they’ll probably have to compromise. It will be reactive, which is better than it is now, but not ideal.

He could pull a Trump and say that he’ll defund Republican cities that don’t enforce mask mandates.

You’re not cynical enough jinni.

Why? It’s what she knows, it works for her, and it will keep her secure. Few people take real risks with venturing beyond any of those things, it’s just that most of us occupy more vulnerable spaces than she does so when we advocate for things like a government that helps it’s citizens, a government that taxes the…

I doubt she’s that clueless.

Evidence? There is no evidence that it will.

Politically viable means that it can’t be an electoral disaster that results in handing the keys right back to Republicans.
