President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

If at first you don't secede...

 

CNN hit on this a few hours ago especially re: Philly and how the Dems are badly underperforming there.

But we also don’t know if those Trump early votes are legacy or new. I fear many are new. Maybe the GOP micro targeted its GOTV efforts for Pennsylvania and Blue Walls.

 

You have to get permits. And the people issuing the permits are under the purview of the Biden Administration. This is why I don't think the Trumpies will do more than a bit of mischief and silly lawsuits: the apparatus of the government is not under their control, and won't be come next Jan. 6. Or Jan. 20.

 

They'll sue. Then watch them try to pull their shit in a D.C. Federal Court.

 

Hi friends!

I’ve been a wreck for the past month because I love to obsess over things I can’t control, in addition to things I can control (I’m getting married Sunday). I didn’t want to spam the thread with my Chicken Little bullshit, as Regan would call it. Whatever.

Gut says I should be cautiously optimistic although I’ve gone back and forth, but even if it’s called early — I doubt it — we should buckle up for a few weeks of mayhem.

In 2020 I deleted news apps and canceled any alerts for a few days. I guess the Xanax didn’t work as well as it should. I’ll probably do the same again, as well as get shitfaced tomorrow.

I’m a white guy. It’s an odd privilege that I can worry about this. I’ll probably be ok, and I can leave the country if I won’t be — it’s a lot of other folk who won’t be so lucky. I remember a Latina co-worker in 2016 was visibly shaking on election night as it became obvious what was happening. That’s kind of what brought the whole thing home for me.

See ya at some point before Jan. 6.

 

Why was everyone telling me the Speaker of the House is in charge?

 

1, Mazel tov on getting married!

2, Kamala is going to win with +300.

3, see 2 and

4, Enjoy the moment because

5, Everything's going to be alright alright alright!

 

Moscow Mitch, how could you?

 

The GOP doesn't have GOTV efforts.

It outsourced the bulk of its entire canvassing, GOTV, and overall groundwork to third parties, including Musk's PAC.

 

I know but that doesn't mean they didn't hit Pennsy hard even if any other GOTV sucked donkey balls.

 

According to multiple reports by many Harris canvassers and a story by a reporter whose outlet I forget, Republican canvassers were very thin on the ground in areas around the state, including Scranton and (especially) the Philly suburbs.
