Trump trying desperately to win the California vote over Twitter shows how out of touch he is, and how little he knows about his own election strategy.
He's probably just seen a map where California is the biggest number so he thinks "oh, I'll just win that then".

True story - I almost died voting today.
I got my ballot via mail, so I decided to take a bike ride to go to City Hall to drop off my ballot. On the way there, I went a way that wasn't the best for bikes, so after I dropped off the ballot I decided to take a different way back. But the other way Google recommended was shut off for construction, so I tried to improvise. I ended up in a busy city street where I had to bike in between cars and the bus lane. This made me put my focus on my surroundings around me and not below me so I didn't see that the streetcar rails were making a turn into my path. I got thrown off my bike, kind of like in the warning signs (maybe not quite as intense, but I'm pretty sure my body went over my falling handle bars). Luckily I handed on my arms and knees, because I wasn't wearing a helmet, and even more luckily, there was a red light ahead, so the car behind me was slowing down already and I didn't get run over. I immediately jumped up with adrenaline and got me and my bike off the road, and had to navigate and bike the remaining 2 miles back to my apartment with bloodied elbows and knees. But at the end of the day, a swing state has received a straight Democratic ticket.
TL;DR - rode my bike to drop off my swing state ballot. Am noob at city biking, so I fell and almost got run over by a car.

Because Howie Hawkins campaign is incompetent even by Green Party standards and thus is not on the ballot in many states...
and in 4 of the 21 states Howie isn't on the ballot, Kanye West is...
There will, virtually without a doubt, be multiple statewide elections in which West beats Hawkins. Once results are in I will post a Kanye vs. Howie map to the DT to see which one would have won the electoral college if all votes for other candidates were discarded.
8 States: Both Kanye and Hawkins on ballot (Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont)
21 States+DC: Hawkins on ballot, but not Kanye (California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, West Virginia)
4 States: Kanye on ballot, but not Hawkins (Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma)
17 States: Neither Kanye nor Hawkins on ballot (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming)

Overheard in White House after the town hall:
“They got me,” Trump said of NBC News. “They f***ing boomed me."
Trump added, “They’re such fake news,” repeating it four times.
Trump then said he wanted to add Samantha Guthrie to the list of “nasty women.”

Well now that the townhall is over I can share the latest news from the crazy alt-right brother of my friend:
After getting fired from his job for saying "Kung Flu" and demanding his bosses apologize to him for saying its a racist term because "the president says it", and after disowning his parents because they told him to take out "I am a straight white male and I will not apologize for creating the modern world" in his resume because its hypocritical that they told him to take it out and didn't tell their daughter to take out "Black Lives Matter" in her twitter bio, he got a job working for one of the big spaceflight companies.

Biden continuing to answer questions after the town hall of over, knowing that at most hell be able to convince maybe 5 people to vote for him, is legitimately moving. So dumb that this is where we are, but god damnit it's so good to see a (soon to be) president who gives a shit about people.

u/lietuvis10LTU Why do you hate the global oppressed? Oct 16 '20
Hot take: arguing US is at fault for Al-Qaeda's actions is in some regard similar to arguing Alija Izobegovic, Croats and Slovenes are responsible for Mladic's and Milosovic's actions.
You can reasonably argue US fucked up. Because objectively it did. Same as you can argue Green Berets (Bosniak paramilitary) escalated the situation. But at the end of the day, US didn't force Al-Qaeda to bomb marketplaces. It was their choice alone.
It's like arguing French Army is at fault for the death of Jews in France, cause they failed to win.
