Hey Al, this is just my opinion, but if the Republicans try to ram through a supreme court nomination before the election, it could be the last thing Republicans get to do for the next 10 years.

Orrrrr rural America turned out the vote. Thanks to the right wing and russian campaign to instill Hillary hate.
As for the popular vote stuff, sorry but the land does vote ! And there's good reason for it.
If you'd like to fix the situation, the solution is quite simple - start a campaign (a "March") for privileged progressives to move to red state America.
Do you live in New England ? Are you ready to retire ? Move to Wyoming ! Or Montana. Or Idaho. And vote there !
Problem solved.
Hi Al, you were definitely right last time, but I think this time will be different. For one thing, although election day is in Nov, most people will be voting 2 - 3 weeks before. So the polls closing together won't happen this year.
I also think last time there were a lot of closet Trump voters that misled the polls. Not this time. And finally, even though fox news defends Trump, they don't like him either. But of course with one month to go, anything can happen.

Current projection: Biden 331, Trump 207

We've been manipulated to hate Donald Trump .... and a lot of that manipulation was caused by Donald Trump himself.
Amazing how many white people are protesting in a country mired in "systemic racism", huh.
I was listening to our local news station in the car yesterday and they interviewed an African American journalism who's been covering the protests and she said the biggest surprise for her was how many white people were participating in them.
Of course she was surprised - surprised to find out maybe systemic racism wasn't systemic after all ?
Biden currently projected to win with 329 electoral votes.

No, your problem is that you think they're different. When in fact they're both nonsense.
You - and tens of millions of others - latch on to what they want to believe and ignore what's true. What's even weirder is that when you all are presented with the truth, you defend your debunked nonsensical belief to the death.
Soooooo many people need to contact their colleges and universities and ask for their money back.
Stick to pizza-gate Chris, you'll sleep better at night.
They're both the same to me. Only believed by delusional people.
But its reassuring to see it's not just the Russians and the right wing who are capable of posting fake news.
In Arlington Cemetery, Trump demeaned the service of John Kelly's son Robert, who died fighting for this country.
For the record, I'm still trying to get over "mailbox-gate". So I hope you dont mind me quoting CBS News.
"We grieve with you. We honor you. And we pledge to you that we will always remember Robert and what he did for all of us," Trump said, singling out the Kelly family during his remarks to the nation that day. Turning to Robert's father, then the secretary of homeland security, Trump added, "Thank you, John."

If Biden wins in Nov, just think of the fun satirists will have with him
Whaaaat ? Are you kidding ? Biden will usher in a new Utopian era where all african american boys will graduate from high school, violent crime caused by african american men will go to zero, and Russia and China will cease their efforts to F with us.
Hi Al, Trump authorized the use of Air Force Two to being the body of John McCain back to DC.
Trump announced earlier this week he had greenlit military transport for McCain, saying, "At the request of the McCain family, I have also authorized military transportation of Senator McCain’s remains from Arizona to Washington, D.C., military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport during the service at the United States Naval Academy."

Current 538 poll: Biden 322 electoral votes
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/
Hey Al, i'm surprised no one replied that this is fake news. But I know that mask-deniers believe it.
Hi Al, the reason why you have that view is cuz you're not racist.
Everyone should be treated equally and the Obamas as high profile public figures are fair game.
And I'm sure a little bit of it can be attributed to being tired of just about EVERYTHING being accused of being "systemic racism" and "white privilege". Like dropping off your mail at a post office, lol.
But there are a few exceptions to this rule. For the historical reasons I posted.
Do the social justice activists take this way too far ? Definitely. But this is one case where they are justified.
Hi Al, correct. But wrong for slightly different reasons.
Another way to think of it - it's widely accepted that making fun of a candidate's underage children is off limits. It's just not done and in cases when someone does it, they are publicly called out by their peers.
It may be wrong to compare a white person to a primate, but comparing an African American is off limits for the historical reasons I posted.
When someone makes fun of pres bush for making a monkey face, they're making fun of pres bush. When it's suggested the Obamas look like primates, it's making fun of all African Americans.
Hey Al, the distinction here is that there's no historical false narrative suggesting white people are less than human. And therefore ok to treat them as less than human.
Having said that, I think it's wrong to portray anyone as a lower primates. I didn't like it when they showed pres bush making "monkey faces" either.
Hi Al, I know I'm gonna regret commenting on this discussion, but here goes -
To portray African Americans as lower primates perpetuates a historical false narrative that people of color from Africa are less than fully human and therefore rationalizes treating them as less than human.
Which of course they were, especially in our southern states up until the 1960s.
So any comparison or depiction of African Americans to lower primates, even in satire, is offensive, reverses decades of progress towards equal treatment, and shouldn't be done.
Hey Al, just amazing how quickly misinformation spreads - kinda like a virus.
Blake sexually assaulted his ex girlfriend who was not 14, lol. Not that that's any better. And he was wanted. With a history of resisting arrest. And the police tried to subdue him first with non lethal means.
Of course none of it explains why 7 shots were fired at close range.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jacob-blake-sexual-assault-charge/
Are you telling us that every now and then ....... Trump says stuff ..... that might not be totally true ?
This is shocking news ! I had no idea ! lol
So in conclusion, the math makes it clear that mailgate is a non problem.
You can move on now.
P.S. I'm on your side regarding Michelle O.
Hi Ayock, if you Trump-haters had any brain cells, you all would have registered as republican for the primary and voted for someone other than Trump, thereby denying him the nomination. But you werent smart enough to organize such a movement. Going on marches and complaining on social media seems to be the limit of what you can do.
I voted for Weld as did 15% of Maryland registered republican voters.
They can investigate all they want. Like I've said over and over and over, which you can't seem to comprehend - mail your ballot in or vote early. My state, like many others, will have drop off boxes at most polling locations.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/absentee-ballot-alternatives-usps-mail-in-voting-presidential-election/
It's sad that you use your privilege to ignore facts and math.
Mailgate is as real as pizzagate.
Just drop your ballot off at the Post Office, right Chris? trump's flunky, DeJoy, is destroying the sorting machines one by one. What other words of advice do you have?
For you to take a math course maybe ?
Did dailykos say mail wasn't being delivered ? Of course not, because if they said that it would mean that removing some sorting machines wasnt making much of a difference. And that would destroy their false narrative - which for some unknown reason you keep clinging on to.
Now here's some math for ya: USPS delivers 180 MILLION first class letters every day.
So lets say half of America's voters (60 million people) choose to vote by mail over a 2 week period. So that's 6 million extra pieces of mail per day which is only a 3 1/3% increase. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT'S A PROBLEM for USPS who must deliver many times more mail over the Holidays ?
By the way, Al posted a few days ago that mathematically, this was a non-issue.
"Mailbox-gate" is just as real as "pizza-gate". The numbers prove it.
he Post Office isn't a BUSINESS, it's a SERVICE
When a service, even a government one, is expected to cover its expenses from fees, it's a business and it's expected to operate like one. As you already know.
According to the laws under which it now operates, the U.S. Postal Service is a semi-independent federal agency, mandated to be revenue-neutral. That is, it is supposed to break even, not make a profit.
https://www.thoughtco.com/about-the-us-postal-service-3321146
And again, which you've chosen to ignore, if you're worried about your ballot taking an extra day to reach its destination, mail it in early.
Or got to an early voting location, like I plan to do. The time you have to fabricate issues when none exist is a privilege I dont have.
Democrats’ ‘postal’ panic has zero basis in fact
I think you should have posted that to Arizona1 and Ayock.
it's not a chart so you're good to go.
For someone who doesnt seem to understand that 47 of the 50 states allow early voting, that's an interesting thing to say. And 2 of those 3 that dont allow either are red states. (BOMBSHELL !)
You also dont seem to understand that if you're running a nationwide business that's being used less and less (like the post office is) , you're going to remove people and equipment in proportion to the population those people and equipment serve. So yes, more machines will be removed from Los Angeles than from St. Louis,
And ,,,,,, according to your charts .... if you mail in your ballot in mid October .... it will get delivered way before the Nov election deadline.
You tend to post a lot of out of context anecdotes in attempts to confirm your mistaken beliefs. You need to work on that.
I'll be watching CNN so I can see them say "BOMBSHELL ! We've just received word that big cities have large populations !"
Large cities have lots of people !
Do you want to alert CNN or should I ?
Are they saying that machines were removed in proportion to the populations they served ? Large cities ... that tend to vote democratic ... since like ... forever ? That's so shocking !
The 671 machines were removed from 49 states. Maybe if you looked at the whole picture instead of cherry picking slices of information, you could get over your QAnon-like obsession and move on.
I admit it, your convention looked waaaaay more fun !
Hi Al, I just find it exasperating that even with so much education, so many people accept the nonsense pushed by their propaganda masters while having no problem debunking the nonsense from their opposition's propaganda masters.
And I live in no man's land cuz I think both sides have lost their minds.
My version is better:
It's wild to me that people who know that QAnon is total nonsense also believe that removing a few mailboxes will cause voter suppression.
The far right has QAnon .... your cult has "mailbox-gate".
both extremists are the same to me .... and many others.
And since you are still worked up over this non problem, you can google on "covid 19 mental health counselling near me" and hopefully they can help you through the toll the pandemic is taking on you..
hi arizona1, what does this have to do with voting ?
The two of you are hilarious - for so many reasons. But in this case, you say Trump is a clueless moron (no argument from me) who thought the pandemic would be over by EASTER but he's also a brilliant evil genius who knew the pandemic would still be a problem IN NOVEMBER and concocted a plan back IN JANUARY to make mail-in voting problematic.
lolol
Hi Ayock, I dont believe intentional voter suppression by removing mail boxes and sorting machines is real. And neither should you.
https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/
With very few exceptions, most states allow either early voting or mail in voting. Interestingly, the few that dont seem to allow either are RED STATES.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/11/us/politics/vote-by-mail-us-states.html
Soooo maybe you're right - maybe the government is trying to suppress red state votes.
