Joe Biden is now POTUS

Hell yes! They will be waiting outside the White House like the dudes in the Rent-A Center truck, talking about where our money you Orange Bitch!
I'm not going to lie I'm starting to really get nervous now, so much is riding on this outcome 
This is going to be a long night (and that's assuming we'll know the winner at some point this evening.)

Oh no doubt.
But I meant I could see them backing off of this if he won a second term.
True
Somebody get my homie @tical a pack of Kools and a Steel Reserve tall can.
Taking my ass to sleep at 7pm and not waking up for 2 days.
Don't need this election shit in my life.
Reeq needs to stick to dvd-n-socks swap meet sales and Reality TV thot rumor podcasts
Politics is obviously not his lane
What evidence does he have that Biden will "loose"Like I'm taking political advice from a dude who spelled "lose" as "loose" twice in a tweet where he's attempting to seem knowledgeable
They sure better..my state has got to turn blue seeing as its one of the battleground ones...

Exactly how I'm feeling, times like this make wish I smoked trees so that I could take one to the head and pass the fuck out until this is decided

Do they come with a couple of complementary bottles of Hope in them?
If not you'll be sweating this shit out with the rest of us.
If you really want a distraction you better look through your black film DVD collection or start tracking some storms

For real! The tension and stress ain't worth it.
Ain't shit none of us can do beyond what we've already done at this point.
IMO, It's better to wake up to possible news that Trump's projected to win rather than be up all night to see that shit live.
The pain..the pain..
Sidenote: Put the Kools and Steel away man. I don't want to be saying RIP to another brother on the board.
When you side down and think about it... Thats every state. Cities are blue, the surrounding metro is purple and the rural part of the state is red.

Smoking trees don’t even work that way, fam. For a non smoker, the level of paranoia you would have will be through the roof!
Plus, it dilates time slower, so it’s going to be worse.

I do just stand there and stare at the collection. I know it has to look crazy to my wife and daughter.
What's even crazier is when you actually study the map blue regions boils down to:
1) High diversity populations.
2) College type cities/towns etc.
3) That's about it.
If it's rural and has cows and sheep then it ain't blue.
I don’t smoke cigs or drink.
But you have the right idea. Ain’t nothing we can do more than what we already done.
So a not so random question for my political heads that really follow this stuff.
How does a party win the presidential election and not gain both House and Senate?
For example if you vote Biden/Harris i assume you're likely to vote down party lines.
If they win, How does that not equal those Congressman and/or Senator being Dems not also win?

2016, Trump won the popular vote in NC, but we elected a Democratic Governor. I think republicans are more likely to vote across party lines than Democrats.
Some are sitting out. Some are voting for the first time. There is also some evidence of those who sat out in 2016 are voting in high numbers folks have been posting in this thread pages and pages back.
I also know Joe Biden had more black folks voting for him in the S. Carolina primary than Obama did in 2008.
A lot of people could just be sick of Trump and particularly his handling of COVID-19 but still feel like the other Republicans are solid.
Or they mau fear giving Democrats both the Presidency as well as the House/Senate advantages.
Easy...you vote for the democratic party runnings president but not the candidate running for senate. The house is a little trickier because of all the damn gerrrymandering that was done may favor one party over the other. So you'd a good turnout of dems in a red districts to win more seats.
There's also a lot of first time voters who weren't of age in 2016 and/or 2018 that may be energized to do so based off of the protests and BLM movement in the last 6 months or so.

Mr. Pool
I'm no expert but I believe it's due to people not voting in the mid term elections, everyone gets riled up for the presidential one and ignores the most important election
unfortunately
For instance Tom Delay the man who engineered the republican takeover of Texas.
"A few months after the election, DeLay was back in his old statehouse haunts, according to the Washington Post, driving around Austin with Jim Ellis, his top political aide. It was then that he and Ellis came up with a daring plan: Target a few linchpin races in 2002 where Republican victories would enable the party to break the Democrats’ lock on the Texas House of Representatives, help recruit the strongest possible candidates, and pour in money and assistance just as his national political-action committee, Americans for a Republican Majority (ARMPAC), had done in so many congressional races in 2000. The Legislature would push through a redistricting plan that would allow gerrymandering arithmetic to accomplish what the Republicans weren’t getting done at the polls, and soon the Texas congressional delegation would include a rightful commanding majority of Republicans (who would, among other virtues, leap to show their gratitude in the event that DeLay offered himself for Speaker of the U.S. House).
DeLay’s power had reached such heights that he would soon have the entire leadership of state government and both chambers of the Legislature performing for him like dancing bears. The pandemonium that DeLay set off in Texas was the flip side of the old adage that all politics is local. By drawing the Texas map so that five to seven more seats would be handed to the GOP, he meant to perpetuate, in one brash swipe, a conservative Republican majority and agenda in the U.S. House until the roosters quit crowing and the sun stayed down. The prize of pulling off this coup amounted to a DeLay wish list: placing restrictions on abortion, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, eliminating the capital gains tax, and all but putting the hated Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration out of business. Katy, bar the door!"
I hear you. But that's odd thinking to me considering he couldn't do half of that shit if those "solid" Republicans didn't enable him.
Hell, an argument can be made that we're in this shit more because of those Republicans not checking Trump compared to Trump being Trump.
They've show to be weak and care about rank and file than doing what's right when all indications are to do right.
So how does anyone vote them as "solid" is beyond me.
You just made me think of the Stoneman Douglas School Shooting children from a few years ago. A lot of them were under 18.....they probably going to come out in full force and help turn FL Blue.
They care about staying in power and what that power affords them.
There's no logic to this brother.
For people who actually buy into the party bullshit it's no different than Bloods vs. Crips.
Hopefully, it's these types of groups that are difficult to predict since they've never voted before that give me the most hope.
Even at the expense of the whole world buring around them.
But, real talk, GOP from a national perspective are an endangered species.
They have to implement voter and other suppression strategies to stand a chance nationally.
The country and generations are changing everyday and it's not changing and leaning more GOP either.
Ricans and the like are
Voting for Trump.
