The Politics Megathread

[Gian]

I heard Mexico is really against illegal immigration because it doesn't want its population to be drained.

Probably the States that depend on workforce.

Reminds me of when Germany was split in two and everyone left East Germany for the West because work there was better. In response, East Germany built a wall.

Oh.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Good luck America.

Lol @ ppl saying this is fraud when mail in ballots just skew left. A reminder: Clinton won the city of Detroit 95% to 3%.

@Tlos @Coriander
I'm really suspicious of the validity of these mail votes.
How credible are these images anyway?

 

[Tlos]

When you get Trump who tells all his supporters repeatedly to not vote by mail, they tend to not vote by mail lol

Flashbacks to in 2012 when there were precincts in Philadelphia where Romney got 0 votes. Republicans pointed to that a proof of fraud (there wasn't)

 

[Coriander]

Nah, dumps of 138k mail-in ballots where it only counts on 1 candidate, not just Trump but none on any other candidate other than Biden is totally credible. Yep.
As an outsider I can only laugh at the state USA is in right now.

 

[crazybars]

Oi, my mailed ballot vote hasn't been counted yet. I don't know what fraud you guys are talking about if my vote hasn't even been counted yet. . .

You're not saying they should ignore my vote right?


Btw, stop posting recent updates on Michigan, Trump's out of the lead again......

We won't know till the fat lady sings after all mail ballots are counted a week or two later.

Now that's not true, out of those 138K votes, Trump got 50 and Jo Jorgensen got 150.

Well I hope she can stand losing to JB or DT.

I think we can all agree that pollsters once again have the most egg on their face. Hasn't been a landslide in either direction.

 

[Archomp]

Michigan and Wisconsin gave so many anxiety to both sides like you wouldn't fucking believe lmao.
Admire how Dems are still positive with Pennsylvania. Hurry with those absentee will ya.
Oh well, It's still a toss up. So either Pennsylvania... Or maybe Nevada or Georgia LOL, just one big sudden reverse can push the either candidate over the finish line.
Good luck Amerilads, the world is watching.

 

[Richman]

What are the most important States for the elections and why are they important?

 

[Tlos]

@Richman look at any of the swing states and take your pick. There's a reason why Trump will never campaign in Massachusetts and Biden will never campaign in Oklahoma lol

 

[BestBoy]

@Richman Typically politically diverse states with a high number of electoral college votes are the most important. What makes a state politically diverse is complicated. I think a safe assumption is that a state with equal urban and rural populations will be a swing state.

@Archomp I think Biden might take both Michigan and Wisconsin (even with the recount) unless a lot of republicans voted by mail. Which I kind of doubt. Antrim county in Michigan (the one that reported "skewed" results) isn't going to make a difference even if all the votes are for Trump. It's a county of 30k and the split is 50-60k. Penn will probably go to Trump?

That's all I've really looked into today.

Is there no election monitoring and are there no poll workers in the USA that there "emergency votes"...? I've volunteered in my country several times, so could check whether the reported numbers were in accordance with what we had counted...

islam liberal which allowed gay marriage, even tho it is clearly forbidden in the islam sunni n shi'a

@Lswarmruler what's your opinion on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi and similar things like
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khawal
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köçek

Or what would you say about things like these:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Homosexuality_in_the_Arab‐Islamic_World,_1500–1800
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_Middle_East#History

 

[Richman]

@Nako
To my understanding (not american), the emergency votes thing is a joke, those votes were actually mailed instead of presented in person, so they arrived and are counted later, because of that it makes it look like there are votes that are coming out of nowhere.
