POTUS election results thread

Thank you for the clarification. Half awake and lots of noise in the house from ds stimming lol

The Senate shows us who we really are No gerrymandering of district lines. No electoral college bullshit. Just popular vote of the states. And who we really are, by majority, is a bunch of under-informed, gullible, fearful, superstitious, backwards-looking fools.

from ABC.

Or just ignore the rules, do what ya needed to benefit the majority!

Punk.

And has made racist posts.

Yes. Again, I just don’t understand people who vote for people like that. 

And we need to keep in mind those missing ballots, over 300,000 in about 15 states. With races being this close that is a huge deal. I’m trying to remember which states but I’m pretty sure Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan were among them. I’m anxious to hear what the judge has to say to do the USPS in court today.

This. 100% this. Blaming democrats for trump? No. Trumps vitriol and cancer on our country belongs squarely on his shoulders and his trumpuppets.

I’ve been flicking channels and reading,but have yet to find any legal expert opine as to whether Trump has any real chance of taking this successfully to court? Who would pay for such a move? I Feel sorry for the workers tirelessly still counting whilst he’s crying ‘fraud’.

I saw one Republican ‘expert’ interviewEx and she avoided the question and instead said it’s all the pollsters fault for ‘getting things wrong’, as so much money is raised on the back of those polls ( or poles as he who shall not be named calls them 😬)

Can someone pop in and explain to this dude what Socialism really is. Surely he's been in politics long enough to know what it means. Maybe it's time to put it on the school curriculum so that the next generation are not quite so dumb!

I posted this elsewhere but legal podcast Opening Arguments did an episode on this last week. It breaks down Kavanaugh's written concurrence and how it's big kick in the door for Trump to take it to the SC that's leaning in his favour.

[

I just found a guy being interviewed- he said 3 Supreme Court justices who ruled on Bush/Gore have already stated that Pennsylvania May have misused the rules re which votes count, and that if you add the newly appointed Amy Coney Barrett to the mix, Trump could win on this.
This is such a sickening spectacle .

Fox has called Arizona for Biden, CNN hasn’t. I’m not sure where the other four are. Maine maybe?

It is.


A bit of America’s history
calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/nov/04



On November 4, 1890, Benjamin Ryan Tillman was elected governor of South Carolina. An outspoken white supremacist, Mr. Tillman created his identity as a politician based on white supremacy, a deep commitment to blocking any educational opportunity for Black people and advocating for violence against Black voters. Concerning the education of Black people, Mr. Tillman argued, “when you educate a Negro, you educate a candidate for the penitentiary or spoil a good field hand.”

Mr. Tillman’s political career began after his involvement in the 1876 Hamburg Massacre, where white men rioted and killed nine people in a predominantly Black town in South Carolina. In his gubernatorial campaign, Mr. Tillman promised to keep the state’s Black population in a position of permanent inferiority. In his inaugural address and throughout his administration, he emphasized white supremacy and the necessity to revoke Black Americans’ rights.

Mr. Tillman served two terms as governor and played a critical role in the 1895 South Carolina Constitutional Convention. In order to vote under the revised constitution, a man had to own property, pay a poll tax, pass a literacy test, and meet certain educational standards. The 1895 constitution disenfranchised Black voters in intent and effect, and served as a model for other Southern states.

After serving as governor, Mr. Tillman was elected United States Senator from South Carolina in 1895, and served in this capacity for twenty-four years. Throughout his tenure, he staunchly opposed Black equality and women’s suffrage. Mr. Tillman’s philosophy helped shape the era of oppression and abuse of Black Americans throughout the South. A statue honoring Mr. Tillman still stands on the grounds of South Carolina’s State Capitol.




When we finally tackle this racism issue once and for all imagine the possibilities 🤷🏾‍♀️


It all seems interconnected to me. The other thing that strikes me is if Christians believe we are all Gods children...how have you reconciled the treatment of Black people. Past and present? Who will answer for it?
