Is Victor the same loser who bragged about knocking on thousands of doors and sending millions of spam text messages in support of a guy that couldn't even win a single county in the last like 6 primaries? Or am I confusing him for a different politard?

Good job networks not showing the pressers anymore

Trump seems unaware he has zero authority to make people go back to work and kill themselves

"Well, I think the Dow was helped by the fact that, they'uh ya know, there were theories that we were gonna stay out for four or five months and ya can't do that, as a count-, you'd destroy our country if you did a thing like that. And, uh, we're gonna be opening, uh, relatively soon and we are, our time comes up, uhr, Monday or Tuesday, our, ya know the allotted two weeks, but we'll stay a little bit longer than that, but we wanna get opened very soon, I think that's a big reason it's gone up. I also think that fact that The Senate and The House, I, uh-wur, we seem to be getting along as much as you can get along, we seem to be getting along now on a, on a bill. I think that maybe had even less of an impact than the fact that we're opening up this incredible country, because we have to do that. I'd love to have it open by Easter, okay, I'd love to have it open by Easter, I will, I will tell you that right now. I would love that have that, it's such an important day for other reasons, but I'll make an important day for this too. I'd love to have the country opening up, just raring to go, by Easter."

People went into a voting booth and felt good about choosing him to lead the country. The same sort of people that think they're gonna win a large stuffed animal at the carnival by knocking over milk bottles. But replace milk bottles with 55 gallon drums of lead, and throwing a Nerf ball to knock them over. That's the degree of rube we're looking at.

The country hasn’t even really shut down besides the stock market lol. Plenty of people are still out and about and since he won’t call for a lockdown, individual county officials are making their own rules. When was the start of the official quarantine so we know when it should be over? My county in Texas just did a shelter in place starting tonight at midnight. Does our 2-3 week window start now?

Get it done.

If you're team Chillary, make calls today. You can still motivate people to vote. Go to her website and find the "make calls" feature.

If you're team Trump, I don't know what to tell you, as his campaign is a dumpster fire and I don't believe they really even have GOTV except for racism. You're gonna lose anyway. Start drinking.

oh no

We chit chatted back and forth a bit about it and he told me not to tell my mom, but he's voting for HRC. He said yeah with her things will be the same and with trump there can be some changes, but changes don't have to be good and his life is pretty good right now.

This cycle sucked for the same reason it was amazing: for a minute there everybody sorta saw each other. And ok, from our perspective, seeing a legit third of our country feel empowered to tell us how they really felt was terrifying and sad and sickening. But it seems semi-useful to keep in mind that, conversely, the platform of the Explainocrats makes those guys seethe too, it makes them feel feelings and close ranks and ardently barf at the world around them, and as any human natureologist will tell you, barf beats socrates. I'm not doing a false equivalency thing: by any logical or historical or moral standard, they are wrong. Oooooo they are so wrong; they are shamelessly wrong. And the Explainocrats are right! But right is not enough. It's the best start but it's not enough. I support your political party but it would be wise if the Director of the Explainocrats had, at minimum, great tits

only feels fitting to give EM the last word here

note: this ^ is about 7pm est on election night ... still a long way to go in the night if you wanna click thru to keep reading, or me to pull more choice quotes lmk

anyway, good times...

Nate Silver @NateSilver538

A week ago, New York state had 87 detected coronavirus cases per 1m citizens

Here's where a lot of Southern states are *today*... the number of *detected* cases.

LA: 298 per 1m
MS: 107 per 1m
TN: 98 per 1m
GA: 98 per 1m
AR: 72 per 1m
FL: 66 per 1m
SC: 59 per 1m
AL: 44 per 1m

Other than Louisiana, which has really ramped up its testing, a lot of those states may be about a week behind the curve in New York in terms of both social distancing *and* testing/case-detection.

It's macabre but I feel like olds probably skew equally Biden/Trump so their dying in bigly numbers here won't hurt us too bad.

Obv. only talking about the olds that think this is a hoax here. Not the ones who did everything right and still got infected because Trump is telling people to drink bleach or their Gen Z grandkids would rather **** in a pile than wash their hands.

Ok I did it. I went back and reread more. Got to the part where I basically laid out exactly what a shitshow this was gonna be and had a bunch of people telling me I was crazy and overreacting cuz ‘Merica always is the best or some jingoistic bullshit.
