So the big wet boy only needs to win Pennsylvania, is that right?

What a stupid fucking electoral system. Least actually-democratic system in the western world by far.
Americans get sooo mad when I say Cuba objectively has a more democratic system than us.
So according to the 538 nerds, this is gonna be 2016 all over again lmao even down to the birthday tweet. Time really is a flat circle.
They learn nothing and forget nothing.
A girlboss is pre-selected by the party apparatus to be the first woman president, she picks a straight-laced dad and blue-leaning state governor named Tim as veep to run against Trump who's running with a very socially backwards Midwesterner...
So is 538 saying a trump win now? Last I hear people talk about 538 they said it was for Harris.
A year and a half of spectacle and entrail-reading just to end up with a coin flip.
Seriously we could have saved a year of time and a couple billion dollars by making the election a two week event and literally nobodies mind would have been changed.
omg, it really is gonna be 269 to 269, isn't it 😂
this is going to be so fucking funny, except for the risk of violence
do we think the libs will Rise Up if the tiebreaker goes to Trump, or will the MIC prevent his winning a tiebreak, or will they just work with him again because he was tolerable before, or what
in no universe will the libs "rise up" smh
They WILL join Dumbledore's Army
They WILL watch shows with the correct lib politics
They WILL write articles
And they WILL #RESIST
I used to be very confident in this too, but every now and then, I look at /r/Ohio, and there have been a few threads of libs saying they've gotten guns and been training with them since Jan 6 because they're worried about "what the trumpers will do when he loses again"
and probably most of them are full of shit, but idk how confident I am that all of them are
crack out the pussy hates babes
They are ready to vote right FUCKING now if they could though
I want that 269:269 so bad.
it really is gonna be 269 to 269,
God willing
omg, it really is gonna be 269 to 269, isn't it 😂
I hate living in a perpetual state of "seeing history happen".
ME TOO
can't it be boring FALGSC times already jfc
do we think the libs will Rise Up
Lol no definitely not. Despite all the fear mongering by the fascists in the republican media sphere, the democrats are not leftists, they love the system as much as the republicans do (who also claim to hate the system).
Unfortunately not, because that one district in Nebraska would have to go red for that to work and it's been moving into solid blue territory for a while. Harris might win by exactly one electoral vote though, which would be less funny "ha ha" and more "acceleration into the cool zone"
It was a system never intended to be a Democracy.
It was designed to balance the needs of a bunch of oligarchical states so they could act as a cohesive unit. They are the bourgeoisie version of the HRE or Greek City states. Instead of the nobility, it was white, wealthy, landowners.
Based on this map he only needs to win Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin, all of which are effectively tied. Lots of pathways to win. Kamala's got to win all three, or lose Pennsylvania and pick up like North Carolina.
I called it months ago. I bet trump carries all three and maybe more. It's going to be a slaughter lol
She's going to flip texas tho
Say what you want about democratic centeralism but votes should have like 90% approval. I never really thought about it but there should bea threshold way above 50%. if 1in 2 people are unhappy with a vote it doesn't really represent the will of the people even though it is technically democracy
You're assuming this is designed to represent the will of the people. No, it's designed to give the ruling class a veneer of legitimacy
Why are the calling americas Democracy Colon a snake? Its foundational to the shit system! No respect for tradition I tell ya
lady liberty's diet is so devoid of fiber and nutrients that she has a pennsylvania lodged in her colon. will she please stop this carnivore diet bullshit?
There's a colonosCOPEy joke in there.
It's crazy to me that the margins are still so thin right now. Six states have a less than 2% difference between the candidates, any random event could swing the election right now. Trump is lucky Puerto Ricans can't vote lol
Puerto Ricans living in the states can though, and there's more of them than currently on the island itself.
A bunch of them, specifically, live in Pennsylvania
Four years before a presidential election, each state gets to make its case to be "The One!"
Its kind of like America's Got Talent or one of those shows where people sing at a panel of celebrities.
After 4 years of making their individual cases, slowly having the number of competitors winnowed down by viewer votes, the final state gets to be "The One!". The only state that matters during the presidential election. Think about it? All the wasted resources trying to campaign in states where a candidate KNOWS they aren't going to win, knows that the Electoral College invalidates the votes FOR all of the candidates that didn't get the majority. All the plane trips, all the Secret Service and local cops having to fuck up traffic in every city or town during a political event, all the campaign ads spread out inefficiently across the entire 50 states and US territories, all the handwringing about voting for the lesser of two monstrous evils... can just be focused at the state that gets to be "The One!" this year.
Seriously how much did that fucking rally in fucking TEXAS cost.
For a state that has been "about to go vlue" for my entire life
If the number of Trump billboards in and around Philly are any indication, yeah
When I saw Trump speak months ago I was sure he was cooked. Should never have doubted Dems ability to lose from a position of strength
I'm a McDonald's truther. whatever they put in those fries he made has given him the strength and vigor to come back
Is that true, he only needs to win PA? And what about the dems do they need to win PA and more?
From what I can tell, yeah. At least according to the lanyard-dorks at 538: the blue genociders need to win every single swing state, but the red genociders just need to win PA. That's assuming the red genociders win Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.
The only poll that matters is election day of course, but it seems IMO more likely for the wet boy to take it.
More or less.
Current odds I've seen is that Pa is 'the state' that decides the election about 1/3 of the time, with the other 6 'battleground' state making up most of the rest of the 2/3s
Am I drunk or does that… graph(?) make no sense
It makes more sense when you can use your clicky-boi (mouse) to interact with it (scroll down)
It would be so fuckin funny if he somehow won california or some shit
So the big wet boy only needs to win Pennsylvania, is that right?
Nah, you're misreading the graph mate
No, Kamala needs to win PA, along with WI and MI, or she loses (unless there's some weird polling error in Georgia and Arizona where those states are actually more favorable to her). Trump only has to win PA or WI or MI and he probably wins. She has to get lucky three times, he only has to get lucky once.
BUT if there is a polling error of some kind, it's widely systemic and national. So there's a chance of a Trump sweep and a chance of a Harris sweep where everything from MI to AZ on this list goes to one candidate or the other. So don't worry about the polls, just get out there and VOTE for Claudia de la Cruz
It's her turn!
NSFW this for docking
