2020 General Election Thread

[Cintra]

So the election isn't decided yet?

I bet someone Trump would win.
They bet Biden.

Should I concede, or isn't it over yet?

 

[Cintra]

It's definitely not over yet. Don't concede!

Ok...

But the longer I leave it, the more I will het teased for losing.

 

[Cintra]

Well, you never know - you may not lose. It's impossible to call an election when votes have not been finalized and recounts are going on.

But it's been ages...

 

[rainerann]

It's official...maybe? This appears to confirm there is no President elect at this time since conditions have not been met, contrary to what the media has stated.

If true, I expect to see retractions and apologies from the left/democrats, MSM, twitter, FB, globalist world leaders...

Just kidding! Retractions and apologies are never going to happen.

lol you’re in the same boat as whatever media you are referring to that you haven’t sourced.

if there is no president elect, you might want to tell trump to stop posting that he won on his twitter feed.

The hypocrisy is real in this little echo chamber.

It hasn't been ages and it takes as long as it takes. Gore v. Bush, 2000.

How long did that one take?
Tbh, I expected the result to come in the next day.

Bloody hell...
I don't know why I don't remember it.

 

[justjess]

Bloody hell...
I don't know why I don't remember it.

Because it was one contested state and a difference of less than 600 votes. It wasn’t made into some massive huge drama conspiracy. And gore kept the title until it was changed.

Biden or Trump saying "I won" is completely different from msm, social media, globalist leaders declaring and crowning Biden as King before the election is even over. They do not get to decide and elect the President.

that is the most delusional thing I have ever heard. It is not different. It is spreading false information and it is even worse when it is coming from the incumbent president than the media. The president is supposed to be a more credible source but we have a toddler having Twitter tantrums.

twitter flags our own presidents posts and indicates that biden is the projected winner. This is a much more appropriate label.

absolutely absurd to twist things to say the media saying this is worse than an incumbent president. It is cult like to defend trump doing the same thing you criticize the media of doing which you haven’t sourced. I haven’t seen anyone declare biden the winner. However, he is currently in the position to win. Trump is not That is reality.

this is an absolutely stupid response to what I said. I am an actual American. i voted in this election and trump Is a ridiculous president having tantrums on twitter making false claims and looking like an overall idiot in the process.

This image is a visual representation of choosing to stick your head in the sand and not look at the situation for what it is. I don’t have tds. You’re just a brainwashed foreigner with an idolatry issue.

I’m really starting to think the term trump derangement syndrome fits the description of his supporters better than the ones who don’t support him. Trump supporters really are a deranged lot to the point of appearing to have some of kind of syndrome.

I hear Trump wanted to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants, and he scrapped the Iran nuclear deal.
But Biden wants to scrap the wall and support the Iran deal, so to me it looks like America is a much less safer place under Biden.
I'm English and therefore neutral, so if America is happy with Biden it's none of my business..

 

[rainerann]

Bloody hell...
I don't know why I don't remember it.

because bush was the projected winner during the time it took to finalize the election results. the responses suggesting this situation will be similar is the same as saying that at some point the same result will work in Biden’s favor.

this was the media response the day after the election in 2000.

they only projected gore to win in the early hours of counting Florida. Then, at some point, bush came out in the lead. Then, at some point the lead was too close to call it for bush even though he never lost his lead in Florida.

so if we were to compare this current situation with the former situation. Trump would play the role of gore who was in the lead initially before biden came up from behind.

gore requested a recount and eventually conceded when this didn’t turn out in his favor. It was suspected at the time that bush cheated and took advantage of the fact that his brother was governor of Florida from 1999-2007.

despite all this, bush became president of the United States. So the comparison is misleading. There was never a time prior to gore conceding that I was as an American expecting gore to win, and then being told otherwise, which would be what would happen this time.

that is why you don’t remember this. I was 18 at the time. This was the first election I voted in so I didn’t pay attention too closely to the recount in Florida. It didn’t end up mattering much because from the point of election night or the next morning, bush was the projected winner the entire time and this never changed. So it never seemed important to me to dig too deeply into the subject of the recount. There was no shock reversal of the expected outcome from election night weeks later.

this is an article that probably does a better job of explaining this history.

Biden wins

Donald Trump becomes the first one-term president in more than 25 years. He is fighting the outcome in court.

www.politico.com

they did the same for bush in 2000 before the recount was done. Bush was the projected winner. Sorry to burst your bubble but the comparison I have seen you make to this isn’t a good one.

and at no point during the recount in Florida when gore was in the same position as trump, did he pronounce himself as the winner.

bush was the projected winner during the entire period of the recount.

Edit to add: you have flooded articles and it would take too long to go through them, but from the snippets, they suggest you are being misleading again.

the guardian snippet says that biden has won while Georgia recounts and trump refuses to concede. This is an accurate picture of the current state of the recount. Biden doesn’t need Georgia to win. He wins with Arizona, Vegas, Michigan and wisconsin and all of these places are basically finished with any legal appeals and recounts.

this is done. You are misleading people with what you are saying.

I stand corrected. That’s how unimportant this whole spectacle was... I blinked and I missed it. Wasn’t old enough to vote then either. Probably played a role.

Arizona is a border state that turned blue because biden got more votes. The comments about the wall and the appearance of support for the wall is a lot more media manipulation than anything else. Border states don’t care about the wall nearly as much as trump makes it seem.

 

[rainerann]

Bush has nothing to do with this. You claimed you didn't see anyone declare Biden the winner. I've just posted loads of headlines declaring Biden the winner.

I added to that post if you could check it again.
