Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!

I'm sure we all have our fingers crossed for our dear friend Donald.
Tbh I'm hopeful for any result which won't allow him to protract the situation any longer (he will anyway, of course). But that hope is getting smaller the more I read and see today.
Interesting night (and days) ahead! | |

Same here.
I remember waking up the day after the GE last December, switching on the TV and doing a double-take - I couldn't believe the result.
I've got a feeling a similar thing will happen tomorrow...  |  |

Apparently some rapper called Lil Pump appeared at a Trump rally , and Trump called him Lil Pimp. I didn't think he needed the services of a pimp. "Just grab 'em by the pussy" [Post edited 3 Nov 2020 15:13]

I've googled this chap and I'm astonished to discover that a wealthy criminal has come ut on favour of Trump.

After what I've just seen with the ref I am unwilling to make any predictions about the rest of the evening.

Ha! No predictions here either. I'm just sitting back and letting the news hit my eyeballs and the booze hit my stomach.

Gives evidence to the thought that this is a battle between those who want to cling to the past, and those who want to embrace the future.
Progress can be stalled, but not completely stopped |  | | |

'Call' is to rule after the event
As in baseball, where the umpire calls out if the player was in or out''
After he has reached the base | | | |

Word on the street is these numbers aren't high enough for Trump unless the independents break for him in an unexpected number. Which could obviously happen...

I'm getting the same vibe as last time. I fear Trump is going to get back in. Hope I'm completely wrong.
Florida looks to be staying Red | | | |

For Trump to 'get back in' he needs to start taking seats from what are projected as Bidden wins
If Florida is any indication of wider voting then he is struggling - given that a safe state is now going right down to the wire, as is being suggested elsewhere | | | |

Is Florida really a safe state? It's been a Republican state in 2016 but prior to that Obama won it in both 2008 and 2012. | |

Florida is Florida. It's nuts and doesn't really reflect anywhere else in the country. Florida Man is a thing for a reason! | |
