no kidding Biden is a centrist, some even accuse him of being a republican
what the world needs is more practical liberals… go pie in the sky when you can, but try to make it work on a smaller scale if need be..

Anyone else think Mitch and mist senate Republicans are glad Trump lost?
Worked out perfect once they shoehorned that last Supreme Court justice

Given we have sharpiegate, i'm sure it's only a matter of time before we get wagongate… more further evidence a lack of critical thinking skills
from Russ Jones local Detroit news reporter
A conservative “news” site reports catching a man wheeling in “suspicious” equipment to the Detroit convention center, implying it was used to steal ballots.
The “ballot thief” was my photographer. He was bringing down equipment for our 12-hour shift.

A nice light read:
Ernie ChambersMy wife @RebeccaSittler, a Nebraska native, reminded me today of why NE splits its electoral votes.
If Biden does not win PA, NE's single electoral vote (from districts around Omaha) will be why he has 270. THIS lone blue dot.
The reason is Ernie Chambers.

very cool and exactly the reason the EC doesn't work….Most states went with"winner take all" and large swaths of voters have been disenfranchised ever since.
Was that way when they invented the rules for the EC and they didn't predict that would happen
And make short-sleeve sweatshirts cool again.

Nate Silver just tweeted he is not a decision desk but he deems Nevada "callable" at this point as he sees no path for Trump to win.
This would push Biden to 270 among the news agencies that have called AZ for him (Fox, AP, Economist, et al). We would be in a weird scenario and have to see what other networks do if Fox News is actively calling Joe Biden the President Elect in a few hours and they are not.

One of favorite election stories is about the sheriff deputy who was fired for being a lesbian, who turned around and ran for sheriff and beat her old boss who fired her…

I think there will be incredible pressure inside and out for Fox to rescind their stance on AZ. They’ve been pretty firm on it up until now but……

Kathleen Gray, in Detroit 5m ago
A Michigan judge denied a request from the Trump campaign to halt the counting of ballots in the state, pointing out that the tallying of absentee ballots was already completed.

So can you submit this a verification that you are incapable of making good decisions on your own.

I'm not sure why the dems can't reach the Latinx vote…I'd say this is almost exclusively why we lost TX and FL soo bad
in Texas, 41 percent to 47 percent of Hispanic voters backed Trump
In Florida, Trump won 45 percent of the Latino vote
Now a bigger minority than the Black vote. I keep thinking those votes will be a slam dunk. I get the cubans…a little
I just don't know how you can vote for someone who clearly hates your kind

The Pennsylvania count was clipping along yesterday processing hundreds of thousands of ballots and it's absolutely slowed to a crawl today. I really would just like this "called" so its over (psychologically) and the GOPers can start abandoning ship.

Latinos are not a monolithic group..
Many Latinos don’t like illegal immigration
Many Latinos are strongly against abortion
Obviously it seems some Latinos might be attracted to authoritarianism although its complex
It’s not just Cuban Americans who really get into the whole “socialism will destroy America” thing
Thinking along the lines of “Hey black people all vote D why can’t Latinos” is kind of stupid….

This. It's this. Everything else in your list added together is not as impactful as this.
