Goat's POLS Thread for Mature Adults

This is over.

PA going to go to Biden, my guess by 30-50k votes. Roughly same margin Trump won it by 4 years ago.

Biden will be ahead by a tiny sliver in GA by tonight, but who knows what happens there.

Probably, but don't say "this is over." If the PA votes don't pan out, it's actually quite possible that Biden only gets Nevada, and the rest end up barely Trump.

Certainly not likely, but well within the realm of possibility.
 
Preach, I can relate on damn near every level except milking the cow. Detassling corn may be the worst job in the US. I may be permanently scarred from those two summers. I’m almost pissed at you for reminding me.
Yup. I lasted about two hours. Left at lunch of my first day. Got a job at our summer pool the next day. Detassling was awful.

I disagree. The older you get the fewer friends you have simply because you realise that the old friends sometimes have little in common with the contemporary you, other than history.

Those aren't really friends anymore as much as the 'business friends' are.

Most people, push come to shove, have only a handful of friends.

The rest really will range from acquaintances (incl social media ones), legacies to symbiotic partners.
I’m kind of the opposite, as I kind of make friends from every step of my life and tend to keep them. Still have a very close knit group of friends from grade school. I am good at keeping in touch with people too. But I have found out that I don’t have much in common with a few of the people o was friends with in high school.

Trump is most likely going to win Arizona.
Georgia and Pennsylvania gonna be tight obviously.
Have you seen where the House now stands?
AZ people seem to think it will be close but Biden will keep it. Nevada looks to be Biden and he should pass Trump in Georgia and PA tonight. Almost all votes are from heavily Democratic areas.

Just reviewed the outstanding ballots on the PA dashboard. It's 175k total.... almost entirely in the Philly area. And then a 35k chunk in Pittsburgh. Being generous to Trump.... he'll lose by 30k. 50k would be closer to my gut feeling.

I'm with you. But it's still too close to start cursing the Jinx Gods.

75-100K final margin in my estimation

They're saying on Fox to donate to the president's legal fund. LMFAO can you imagine a shittier way to blow money

They've been hitting me up 2 or 3x a day even for the past couple of days AFTER all the voting has been completed. I guess they think that some people are going to believe a claim that if every Trump patriot contributes $35 that "Trump will win". The voting has been completed, so Trump's fate hinges on how many people voted for him. Not on my $35 with 600% matching potential contribution...

Seems like a great grift for the lawyers

You think of all the need out there and all the money associated with all of these races and it’s gut-wrenching. Politicians talking about helping the poor yet spending over a hundred million dollars so they themselves can have a job. That’s more than a big city United way raises in a year. All the people that money touches.

But to donate to a legal fund to fund frivolous lawsuits. As opposed to all the worthy places to put money. vaccine research. Food banks. Ugh. I’m ready for 2021.
 
It's possible.

It just doesn't seem like there is a single county in PA where Trump will be able to make up ground. Even in the reddest areas, the Trump vote came from election day.

All these counties have some Dem voters,and overall Dems voted by mail 3x more often than GOP voters. I haven't even seen a single county in PA yet where the mail vote was even split evenly, much less anywhere where Trump got above 50% of the mail vote...

Wouldn’t it be great if $50 million was raised for Trump’s law suits, he then suddenly decides to concede and skips town with the loot?

You are one of the shy Trump voters the speak of?
 
I didn’t watch the speech or listen. I know I don’t want an American built on the hate democrats have right now either. Call me a lunatic. I think the liberal democrats are hell bent on destroying this country. I believe that just as strongly as you believe what you believe.
You are a lunatic!
There! Are you happy now? Or, shall I say "Are you a happy lunatic now?"

I’ve been respectful of you. I answered Zeke’s question honestly and I wasn’t a smartass. Wtf calling me names? You owe me an apology.
You said you think we want to destroy America. That's not respectful just because you didn't use our names. It's disrespectful and ugly. You owe me - all of us - an apology.
 
Damn, All this hate and name calling. You should be happy. You got rid of orange man.

Yes I do.

I don’t believe that of democrats if there are any left willing to stand up to the Bernie/Harris/AOC wing of the party.

Who cares what the fringe wants to do (of either side). They make a lot of noise, but not much of anything else. You act as if they actually have any power to enact legislation. It's basically impossible to get anything extreme though Congress (particularly the Senate).

If you’re in the Bernie/AOC wing of the democrat party I believe you want to destroy America. What they want is destroying America as it was built. I call that destroying America. You call it what you want.

I had an additional sentence as a moderator you might have seen. I erased it. Took a lot of self control not to shout a few names back at you.
 
I'm kind of amused by how much they are stressing that Biden is >this< close to passing Trump in PA. Almost like, as soon as Biden is up by 1 vote, the networks can finally call it, and everyone can go home.

Well, that's not what you said. You said Democrats' and liberals' goal is destroy America. But even if you did qualify it by saying it was only some of us, that's no better.

I think your policies are wrong-headed. I think they are bad for the long term health of our society. And the number of times I've ever thought - much less said - that you actually want to destroy America can be counted on zero fingers.

So, yeah, you're an asshole.
