US Election 2020 - The Result

[Ancalagon]

Yeah, I would not say they know nothing about it, considering this guy was part of the team that came up with the guidelines for it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Rivest

I'd rather say you are more out of depth of understanding how the system works, but anyways.

It's cute that you think I was talking about cryptography in general, not voting machines as I said. Perhaps work on those comprehension skills?

Totally different types of Latinos.

Im aware, thanks. My point is despite Trump's obvious negative feelings towards people of color and immigrants - he got a lot of votes from that demographic.

Make voting mandatory.
Have your national election day made a public holiday.

**** that. Wtf must I choose between which bunch of lying, cheating politicians is better?

I'd rather vote for a snake!

I used to think that.

But I think recognising non-participation as a valid choice for people instead of ignoring it is a far better system. Forcing everyone to vote simply gives bad parties legitimacy.

Remember all the hot takes about fracking sinking Biden in Pennsylvania? Well, let's have a look at how Allegheny County is doing, one of the main fracking hubs.

The military are tired of Trump after his jibes at the ones killed

You'd think having bungled the Covid-19 like he did would've dimished his voting base, or that he kept kids locked in cages, or funneled $141m taxpayer money into his own resorts playing golf...

Not googling for the quote mentioned by him, but it has something to do with shooting people on 5th avenue and them still voting for him.

Man I really feel for the Republicans who still think Trump has a chance

I'm aware you don't have much insight into how much of this words, but you don't have to vote for anyone specifically.

In fact, I've heard a good number of Kanye votes were protests votes for people who didn't like Biden or Trump, but still wanted to vote the rest of the ticket.

Who says he doesn't? There's always a chance.

Use ranked-choice or 'single transferable vote' voting, enabling people outside established parties to take part and have a shot without voters feeling like they'd be wasting their vote.

With all the drama going on, forgot about Alaska. Did someone forget to feed the huskies? 50% counted :O

They were planning on using Alaska as the lapel pin on a Trump victory.

Predicting an election outcome does not mean you support anybody.

If you asked me who's gonna win the bulls vs stormers game and I say bulls does that make me a bulls supporter when I support neither?

Traitor!

Not sure why you think this isn't compatible with what I posted? I was responding to noxibox's point about gullibility, to point out how there was an insane disinformation campaign going on.

And I also pointed out (a couple of times actually) that Cuban Americans are mostly Republican - they've been for decades. They're very socially conservative, being heavily Catholic. The slight shift towards Democrats in the early 2010s was the historical anomaly, not them voting Republican now.

The shift wasn't uniform anywhere, either. In Arizona, the Latino vote was overwhelmingly pro-Biden, for example. Moreso even than Sinema in 2018, who already ran up the score massively.

Your links made it sound like it was pure lies and disinformation that lost Florida. It wasn't. Dems are fundamentally out of touch with the conservative Latinos and they are the majority of the Latino vote in Florida.

The Reddit thread I linked to also explains the reason why Latinos in places like Arizona and Cali vote blue while Latinos in Florida vote red. Cali/Arizona Latinos are majority Mexican, in Florida they are majority Cuban.

The people are different and vote on different issues, many of which stem from their countries of origin. Cuban Americans (along with Venezuelans) are likely never going to vote anything that is remotely socialist. It will spook them. Mexicans are not going to support a candidate that is hostile to Mexico and anti-immigration. Puerto Ricans for a while won't vote Republican because of how the hurricane was handled.

These people are very different.

It seems Republicans put in serious work in Texas & Florida, especially with the Latino community but forgot about building good election infrastructure in Georgia.

They will be seething if they ultimately lose Georgia --and will definitely put in the work to retain both Senate GOP seats in January. The problem for GOP is the demographic giving the Dems the victory here are African-Americans who basically vote as one group for the Democrats and are not as easily persuadable as based Latinos.

Still no winner?

I speculate that Hunter dropped off the race as I haven't heard about his laptop for a while.
