What a stupid fucking electoral system. Least actually-democratic system in the western world by far.
A year and a half of spectacle and entrail-reading just to end up with a coin flip.
Seriously we could have saved a year of time and a couple billion dollars by making the election a two week event and literally nobodies mind would have been changed.
So according to the 538 nerds, this is gonna be 2016 all over again lmao even down to the birthday tweet. Time really is a flat circle.
They learn nothing and forget nothing.
Americans get sooo mad when I say Cuba objectively has a more democratic system than us.
people who know nothing about cuba get mad when you say that because tv told them cuba bad
Why are the calling americas Democracy Colon a snake? Its foundational to the shit system! No respect for tradition I tell ya
There’s a colonosCOPEy joke in there.
Based on this map he only needs to win Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin, all of which are effectively tied. Lots of pathways to win. Kamala’s got to win all three, or lose Pennsylvania and pick up like North Carolina.
More or less.
Current odds I’ve seen is that Pa is ‘the state’ that decides the election about 1/3 of the time, with the other 6 ‘battleground’ state making up most of the rest of the 2/3s
If the number of Trump billboards in and around Philly are any indication, yeah
So one side has 16 states and the other has 10 for the same amount?
Four years before a presidential election, each state gets to make its case to be “The One!”
Its kind of like America’s Got Talent or one of those shows where people sing at a panel of celebrities.
After 4 years of making their individual cases, slowly having the number of competitors winnowed down by viewer votes, the final state gets to be “The One!”. The only state that matters during the presidential election. Think about it? All the wasted resources trying to campaign in states where a candidate KNOWS they aren’t going to win, knows that the Electoral College invalidates the votes FOR all of the candidates that didn’t get the majority. All the plane trips, all the Secret Service and local cops having to fuck up traffic in every city or town during a political event, all the campaign ads spread out inefficiently across the entire 50 states and US territories, all the handwringing about voting for the lesser of two monstrous evils… can just be focused at the state that gets to be “The One!” this year.
Is that true, he only needs to win PA? And what about the dems do they need to win PA and more?
From what I can tell, yeah. At least according to the lanyard-dorks at 538: the blue genociders need to win every single swing state, but the red genociders just need to win PA. That’s assuming the red genociders win Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
The only poll that matters is election day of course, but it seems IMO more likely for the wet boy to take it.
omg, it really is gonna be 269 to 269, isn’t it 😂
this is going to be so fucking funny, except for the risk of violence
do we think the libs will Rise Up if the tiebreaker goes to Trump, or will the MIC prevent his winning a tiebreak, or will they just work with him again because he was tolerable before, or what
it really is gonna be 269 to 269,
God willing
omg, it really is gonna be 269 to 269, isn’t it 😂
I hate living in a perpetual state of “seeing history happen”.
in no universe will the libs “rise up” smh
crack out the pussy hates babes
They WILL join Dumbledore’s Army
They WILL watch shows with the correct lib politics
They WILL write articles
And they WILL #RESIST
I used to be very confident in this too, but every now and then, I look at /r/Ohio, and there have been a few threads of libs saying they’ve gotten guns and been training with them since Jan 6 because they’re worried about “what the trumpers will do when he loses again”
and probably most of them are full of shit, but idk how confident I am that all of them are
Lib jan 6th would rule, I hope all the stupidest boomers kill each other
do we think the libs will Rise Up
Lol no definitely not. Despite all the fear mongering by the fascists in the republican media sphere, the democrats are not leftists, they love the system as much as the republicans do (who also claim to hate the system).
I want that 269:269 so bad.
Am I drunk or does that… graph(?) make no sense
It makes more sense when you can use your clicky-boi (mouse) to interact with it (scroll down)
