Hello!

I'm doing pretty well. I'm still trying to decide how I'll spend my Halloween..

Yeah, it really sucks how much this pandemic has been ruining the holidays

I'm curious, what makes you say that? It seems like the infection rate is on the rise, if anything

That's an interesting theory

I don't actually think that the reason people talk about Covid is entirely due to the election, though

She works on a covid floor? Why does she call it the "election infection"?

This sounds intriguing, I'm curious to learn more

Isn't that bad though

That's strange. I wonder why that would be

I understand you're saying that masks are bs, I'm just not sure why masks wouldn't work when there are studies that appear to indicate that masks (slightly) reduce transmission rates

Ah, so surgical masks would work much better then?

Yeah it's pretty absurd how many people there are that completely miss the point like that

I think people should wear masks when possible but I absolutely agree that some people go way too far with it. Like the California governor who said that you need to wear your mask "in between bites" while eating food

I don't think it's good that there's such a heavy stigma against people who don't wear a mask either. I know a few people with severe asthma or other serious medical problems where wearing something like a mask that restricts their breathing would only harm them much more, and yet even with an official exemption they get insulted and screamed at as they go out in public

The only reason why I suspect Biden will win is because Allan Lichtman (the guy who has accurately been predicting elections for decades without ever having been wrong yet) says Biden will win, but honestly it’s super up in the air this time around

Did your boyfriend provide evidence, an explanation, etc? Does he have political experience to back that up or is it just a guess?

I will say though, I will be **really** interested in seeing what will happen if Trump loses. With the way he keeps implying that he won’t accept the election results, I’m wondering what he’s thinking honestly.

Is that graphic (of the red/blue states) accurate to the projections for the 2020 election?

Because if so, then that's really interesting

New York state is almost always blue (historically speaking), so I would be surprised if NY goes red this time

The thing that sucks about the electoral college is that if you live in a state that always goes one way and you're the opposite, then your vote is basically meaningless

@Kevin_the_wise I don't understand, what is "all over" if Biden wins?

@The Red Elephant How would the country be "over"?

I still feel like Biden is (slightly) more likely to win, though honestly I don't have a major preference either way

That's true actually. I feel like a lot of the left-wing voters are split because most of them don't like Biden either. It's possible a lot of them will vote for third-party candidates or just not vote at all, which of course will really only help Trump

So honestly it's a toss-up. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump won

lmao Colorado

I feel like he's trolling

What are you talking about?

I'm not exactly a democrat myself, but to be fair, none of the Democrats I know actually "hate" the country, they just don't like Trump and think there are better choices for the president.

Tests with Discord

I'm actually really surprised that Biden is winning in Georgia, I thought Trump had that state for sure

Fair. It looks like Kentucky's votes have been finalized though?

I don't understand Vermont's results still

"Vermont is called with 0% reporting"

I mean, it's Vermont, of course they're going blue, but really?

TRUMP HAS WON HIS SECOND STATE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

West Virginia goes to Trump. He's now winning 13-3

Biden has won Virginia

The numbers for all the different counties probably haven't been fully updated yet

Biden's winning again

If Trump wins Florida though, then Biden's in trouble

If Biden wins Florida, then he wins the election

I don't know why or how, but Texas is blue apparently

That's a little dramatic, don't you think?

What's wrong with you guys lol

You know Texas could still swing back the other way, right?

It hasn't been officially called yet

That scares me Reaper.

So what are you going to do if Biden wins?

AdorableDeplorable: It's because not all the county votes have been fully updated yet. Give it a few minutes and it will make more sense.

Relax. I promise you the country won't end no matter who wins, we don't need to go to civil war over this

Nothing you're saying makes sense dude

No one ever said anything about selling the US to China or putting nazis in charge of the police

We're not going communist, don't worry.

Again, it's not something that you realistically need to worry about

I'm mostly indifferent. I think this whole thing is super entertaining, but I'm not actually worried about either candidate winning. Biden winning won't lead us into a socialist society, and Trump winning won't lead to genocide

Again, the Democrats won't take your guns away, I promise

Why do you need an AK

Okay, that's a fair point, I'll give you that

I just feel like that's far from being the country's biggest concern right now (which is part of the reason why I really don't like Biden)

I'm not trying to cover for the Dems *specifically*, I just feel like you guys are overreacting a bit here

Why do you think the US will go communist if Biden wins?

I love you too Kevin

(btw if any of you guys are interested in having an actual discussion, I'm 100% against communism for the record)

I'm not okay with it at all, I just don't think it's something that's likely to happen

I am against communism, but for all you guys' concerns about the country going communist if Biden wins, I'm just not seeing a lot of proof

Two countries working together doesn't mean they're the same country. The US being allied with China doesn't mean that the US will automatically adopt China's mode of government. It's simply not a logical thing to conclude.

That said, I agree that Biden's tax plans are absolutely shit

For the record, the first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without being censored directly by the United States government. It doesn't excuse you from being rude to people, nor does it prevent Discord servers like this one to set their own rules about what is allowed to be said.

I haven't muted anyone, nor would I ever mute anyone.

No? I just mentioned it once. You're the one who's taking issue with everything I say for some reason

Biden just won Delaware

It's not over until it's over

If it makes you feel any better, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania are all starting to turn in favor of Trump

He just won Kansas too

Weren't you super confident earlier that Trump would win in a landslide?

Well, someone was saying that a lot over the past few days

Maybe it wasn't you

Chill dude lol

They really aren't

If Trump wins, they're going to try and make abortion illegal. Rights are going to be taken away from people either way.

Biden's in the lead again, though just barely

Please don't kill anyone swiggity. And yeah, this whole election does look pretty suspicious right now

I'm in another Discord server that is somewhat Democrat-dominated and they're saying that they just hope Trump gets assassinated if he wins

This was expected to happen though. Most of the people who voted by mail were liberals anyway

The only way Trump can possibly win now is if he can get either Wisconsin or Nevada, which is looking very unlikely

What does "is has declared" mean

He hasn't said anything like that on his Twitter

Right

There's still a chance Trump could win

Yeah Red Elephant where are your sources coming from?

Bruh literally the headline of that article goes against what you're saying.

It says that Biden's campaign is *preparing to eventually* declare presidency, it doesn't say that he's declared the presidency already.

There is a huge difference dude

So far it's going to Biden though

How the hell are people getting their hands on these, though?

New theory: Biden will win, but Trump will argue that the election was rigged by the Democrats. Because of videos like this, those claims will hold up in court and Trump will be declared the president for the next four years.
