2020 US General Election

[Letters]

I watched Threads after watching this, to remind myself what it means if he isn't allowed to claim his landslide.

I'd never heard of that until recently when it was re-shown.
Showing its age a bit but very good, and bleak.
I would also recommend "When The Wind Blows" on a similar theme.

But equally I can see how voting fraud is a good tactic to prevent poor voters without a passport or driving licence (people who aren’t going to vote for the people who propose these laws) from voting.

Yup.

You can't have mandatory voter ID without universal ID cards for that exact reason.

Well you can, but not without it being an obvious attempt at election rigging.

Threads is an exceptional Drama series, 40 years later it’s still aged well enough to send a chill down the spine of anyone normal, as well as anyone who thinks not genuflecting to accommodate revanchist aggression from dictators is inviting nuclear Armageddon.

Let's be honest in a fair election there's no way Kamala wins.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes, yes it’s only a fair election if the candidate I like wins

I think Trump will win but let’s not start this shit again just because he’s a massive baby who can’t take losing

It's really hard to call.
Biden vs Trump was a foregone conclusion, with Harris it's going to be close. I'm leaning towards Trump winning but it's not clear to me. I reckon it's going to be pretty close.

Looking at the trends with early voting (obviously votes aren’t counted but you can get an idea by party registration), it doesn’t look like it will be close to me. Nevada looks like it’s going Republican for first time in 20 years, Michigan looks foreclosed on as well.


Harris may well still win the popular vote, but in the EC….looks like Trump will run the board in the swing states. Switching Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin red.

From what I've seen, it's more like Republicans are voting earlier for whatever reason. The younger, more urban residents of those states have disproportionately not voted yet, apparently. Not sure why.

Traditionally though the inverse is true, Democrats vote early and Republicans vote on the day. Now of course COVID absolutely put that tradition on steroids especially with Absentee ballots. But the drop off rate for Democrats especially in swing states like Nevada mean that Harris probably has to hope that there are a lot of Never Trump Republicans voting for her, that has not been the case in the last two elections


The younger voters are likely to not vote at all, or vote for cranks like Jill Stein…because they have hurty feelings about Israel making sure Hamas won’t ever be in a position to repeat October 7th because they can’t tell the difference between a resistance movement like the ANC in South Africa and a corrupt nihilistic cult of death and puppet organisation for its client the Iranian theocracy.

Biggest concentration of Arab American voters is in Michigan, they’ve swung massively to Trump because their hatred of Jews overrides their hatred of someone who spent years othering them. That will be enough to turn Michigan red again (in my view)

That's interesting if so. Last time out it was the Democrats who got their postal votes in early - encouraged to do so because of the pandemic. Hence the on the night vote favouring Trump and then it swinging towards Biden.
