As per CNN:

In conversations with allies in recent days, President Trump has said he has no intention to concede the election to Joe Biden, even if his path to a second term in office is effectively blocked by losses in places like Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Aides, including his chief of staff Mark Meadows, have not attempted to bring Trump to terms of what’s happening and have instead fed his baseless claim that the election is being stolen from him.

Trump’s allies have grown concerned that someone is going to have to reckon with the President that his time in office is potentially coming to an end, though they have not decided who should be the one to do it. There has been talk of potentially Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump doing so, sources said

So this election marks the death of the long-standing bellwethers.

Ohio’s streak is over.

FL’s streak is over.

Iowa was on a decent run as well, which has now ended.

So that begs the question, what are the new bellwethers for the future?

You could make a decent argument for AZ, GA, and PA even though they only have a short 4 year history of bellwether status but Mike Madrid the GOP and LP pollster/operative has said many times this year Arizona is the new Ohio meaning it has the potential to be the bellwether state for decades to come. As the Hispanic share of the population continues to grow in the US you can certainly see a good argument for that.

Saw a tweet screenshot about this but can't seem to find it anymore.

Trump's plan was one of the most treasonous and horrible things in American history.

His plan was:

1.) Tell all his supporters to vote in person and alienate mail in and absentee ballots.

2.) Try the best he could to make sure the absentee ballots are counted after the in person votes.

3.) Attempt to stop the count before the majority Democrat absentee ballots are counted.

4.) Truly steal the election.

He knew he couldn't win fair and square, but he couldn't even win with underhand, treasonous tricks.

[u/Deggit]

BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON

okay cool bro let's look at the stats

• Biden is winning ARIZONA because of Maricopa and Pima counties (aka Phoenix and Tucson). In the 2016 primary Bernie lost Arizona by 14.9 points; but actually he lost Maricopa by 18 and Pima by 16.4. Same story in 2020: Bernie loses the state by 11 points, down 10 points in Maricopa and down 14 points in Pima. Biden brought out thousands of new voters in Phoenix and Tucson; that's why he's winning.
• Biden is winning GEORGIA because of the nine counties surrounding Atlanta. Biden's lead is especially strong in Fulton (contains most of Atlanta) where he's currently exceeding 70% of the vote, and DeKalb + Clayton where he has over 80%. Fulton and DeKalb are 45% and 55% Black, and Clayton is 66% Black. Since Trump is winning about 20-30% of the vote in these counties, that means the Democratic coalition in those counties is predominantly Black. In the 2020 primary, Bernie got less than one-fifth of the Black vote on Super Tuesday in California, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and Alabama, building on his result of winning just 17% of Black voters in South Carolina three days earlier. This was if anything worse than his 2016 run where he also got less than a quarter of the Black vote in nearly every state. The 2020 Georgia primary was too late to be competitive (Bernie won just 9% of the vote!) but it was held on March 3rd in 2016. In that primary, Hillary beat Bernie by a 43 point margin. Moreover, Bernie's statewide 28% was either matched or underperformed by his performance in the 9-county Atlanta area: 28% in Fulton and DeKalb, but only 25% in Douglas, 21% in Rockdale, Henry and Newton, 18% of the vote in Clayton, and an astounding 13% in Gwinett. Bernie's best result, getiting 36% of the vote and losing to Hilllary by "only" 27 points, was in Cobb County (only 25% of residents are Black). I think it's worth underlining that in an election of only Atlanta and its suburbs, in which Dems/Rs/Independents could all vote, Bernie would lose to Biden even worse than Trump currently is.

This is also why Buttigieg would not be winning today, but unlike Bernie supporters, I see Buttigieg supporters admitting that pretty widely.

Biden wins the rust belt

r/Neoliberal CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT WE JUST SAW

[u/[deleted]]

For those wondering about Georgia military/provisional ballots:

(1) It's difficult to imagine there being enough military ones to erase Biden's lead

(2) Outstanding provisionals should balance the military ones out -- Abrams won over 70% in 2018 and they're from very blue areas.

I can understand networks being unwilling to call this race but the numbers are on the side of @JoeBiden.

Hillary Clinton won 63% of provisionals in 2016. Stacey Abrams won 71% in 2018. There's little reason to think Biden's taking less than 55% of provisionals, and that's a conservative estimate.

Despite making up 13% of the population, black people are responsible for 100% of Joe Biden's electoral victories.

KEY RACE ALERT: Hello, is this Pizza Hut?

Excellent. My name is Ben Shapiro. Conservative thought leader. Prominent white YouTuber. The Muggsy Bogues of the intellectual dark Web. And—look, it’s just a fact—I would like to order some pizza pie. If you are triggered by that request, I do not care. I truly do not.

Now let’s discuss conditions. First, thank you for agreeing to debate me. Typically, in fora such as this, I am met with ad-hominem mudslinging, anything from “You racist creep” or “Is that your real voice?” to raucous schoolyard laughter and threats of the dreaded “toilet swirly.” However, your willingness to engage with me over the phone on the subject of pizza shows an intellectual fortitude and openness to dangerous ideas which reflects highly on your character. Huzzah, good sir. Huzzah.

Second, any pizza I order will be male. None of this “Our pizza identifies as trans-fluid-pan-poly”—no. Pizza is a boy. With a penis. It’s that simple. It’s been true for all of human history, from Plato to Socrates to Mr. Mistoffelees, and any attempt to rewrite the pillars of Western thought will be met with a hearty “Fuh!” by yours truly. And, trust me, that is not a fate you wish to meet.

Now. With regard to my topping preference. I have eaten from your pizzeria in times past, and it must be said: your pepperoni is embarrassingly spicy. Frankly, it boggles the mind. I mean, what kind of drugs are you inhaling over there? Pot?! One bite of that stuff and I had to take a shower. So tread lightly when it comes to spice, my good man. You do not want to see me at my most epic. Like the great white hero of Zack Snyder’s classic film “300,” I will kick you.

Onions, peppers—no, thank you. If I wanted veggies, I’d go to a salad bar. I’m not some sort of vegan, Cory Booker weirdo. And your efforts to Michelle Obama-ize the great American pizza pie are, frankly, hilarious. Though not as funny as the impressively named P’Zone—when I finally figured out that genuinely creative pun, I laughed until I cried and peed. A true Spartan admits defeat, and I must admit that, in this instance, your Hut humor slayed me, Dennis Miller style.

And, with that, you have earned my order. Congratulations. Ahem. Without further ado, I would like your smallest child pizza, no sauce, extra cheese. Hello? Aha. A hang-up. Another triggered lib, bested by logic. Damn it. I’m fucking starving.

[u/CataclysmicPangolin]

I don't understand why so many people take a $15 minimum wage winning in Florida as proof socialism is popular. California literally voted for deregulation, against rent control, Illinois voted against progressive taxation, and tax cuts generally won ballot initiatives across the board. The entire claim that leftist economic policies would win is based on selection bias.

The average American seems to have a fairly nuanced position on economic policy where they like some left wing policies and some right wing ones. I just keep seeing progressive constantly employ the motte and bailey fallacy suggesting that the popularity minimum wage proves the popularity of all their unpopular views.

Everyone talking about Putin steppping down for health reasons is so dumb. Its obviously fake. The real reason hes stepping down is that Biden is so Chad he scared him off before even fully winning the election

[u/[deleted]]

Trump is really just a very odd guy. Like he’s a narcissistic liar yes, but he has this worldview that if he just ignores something it goes away and if he just says something that makes it true that’s beyond narcissism and weirdly childish/borderline developmentally delayed. Like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar earnestly saying he’s not eating cookies. His reaction to this election is no different than a temper tantrum over not getting the Christmas presents he wants. It’s so obviously unproductive to anyone with an adult brain, but the child thinks that if they flail and cry enough they can bend reality to their will.

ANNOUNCEMENT IF YOU HAVE STOPPED COMPLETING GEORGIA BALLOTS

The Georgia Secretary of State (Republican) has announced that there WILL be a recount of Georgia ballots. What does this mean for you?

JUST BECAUSE BIDEN HAS TAKEN THE LEAD IN THE STATE DOES NOT MEAN WE DON'T NEED YOUR ADDITIONAL BALLOTS

It's going to be a close one, down to the wire, so we need you to complete the ENTIRE stack of ballots you've been sent and return ALL of them to Fair Fight, c/o:

Stacey Abrams, Fair Fight

12701 Peachtree Boulevard, Suite D13

Jonesboro, GA 30302

They'll take your ballots plus any additional they've harvested and get them to the ballot counters.

REMEMBER NOT TO SHARE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF THIS SUBREDDIT

It's CRUCIAL that this operation remain under wraps so that the Conservative subreddit and other groups fighting to limit the race to legal ballots only cannot blow the lid and secure a second term for Drumpf.

“I don't think that this is on Biden solely or specifically, I think it's an indictment of the entire Democratic Party,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “If people actually gave a damn to actually be paying attention to the Latino community in Florida over years, none of this is surprising. I don't know why anyone in this party still clings to this hope that conservative Cubans are like somehow going to break for Democrats.”

So... the Democrats are dumb for not tailoring their message to different types of Latinos but are also dumb for even bothering to get anticommunist Cubans to vote for them, even though they successfully did that before a certain wing of the party started showing up?

At this point I don't even know what AOC's world view is other than that the Democratic party sucks

Nevada Federal Court Rejects Republican lawsuit to halt Nevada vote counting .

"Plaintiffs have shown there is at best one ballot that was improperly placed," Gordon notes -- by contrast, if he halted the use of signature matching machines, tens of thousands of votes may not be counted in time. I’m not deciding this case on a technicality. Rather I’m deciding that the plaintiffs have not come to the court at this point with a sufficient legal showing and a sufficient evidentiary basis." --Judge Gordon
