    AP called Wisconsin for Biden. If he holds on to Nevada and Michigan Biden will crawl across the finish line.
  2. NearPup
    Probably not. We were well prepared for this outcome. The media spent a lot of time explaining to people what states would have red and blue mirages, i.e. states that would appear to go for Biden (Ohio, Florida, North Carolina) or Trump (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania) before tightening later on.
  3. NearPup
    I definitively would rather be Biden than Trump right now, even though it looks like Biden will barely crawl across the finish line. Not very unlike Trump in 2016, really.
  4. NearPup
    Biden is now ahead in Wisconsin by 11,000 votes.

    I am confused about the results.
  6. NearPup
    I mean given 100,000,000 people voted already (yours truly included) it’s probably already been mostly decided. I think some people on here will be pretty confused by the results tbh.

    I like both those changes. Short track was always too crowded for the athletes, adding the mixed relay was going to make that even worse. And two more days of curling without anything else going on? Fun way to start.

    Very normal thing to do in a democracy. Oh, sorry, we are a Republic, not a democracy, so it's totally cool for the partisan judiciary to pick the president.

    Texans have already cast over nine million votes, which is higher than the total number of votes cast in 2016. There is still a full day of early voting left plus, of course, election day.

    Ya, sure looks like not sending him to the TdF was the right call...

    Athletes have to report where they will be at specific times, and testers will just show up unannounced.
  12. NearPup
    Sliding venues (other than exactly St Moritz) aren’t exactly known for looking nice tbh. They all have an industrial look to them.
  13. NearPup
    What makes you think that? Williamson is a well known and common Japanese surname.

    That number is completely dwarfed by the number of birds killed annually by pet cats, cars, power lines, the airline industry (mostly airports culling birds), cell towers, hunting and, wait for it, fossil fuel powerplants. Per GWh a fossil powerplant kills about ten times as many birds as a wind farm. Saying wind farms in the US kill half a million birds sounds impressive until you see that collisions with buildings are estimated to kill between 100 million and one billion birds every year in the US.

    This may have been the most watchable debate Trump has ever been in.
  16. NearPup
    For once this isn’t an unreasonable complaint. The third debate is, indeed, meant to be focused on foreign policy and the announced debate topics don’t reflect that at all.
  17. NearPup
    They are doing him a *huge* favour and he won't appreciate it.

    I am not a fan of Morales’ political party, but this feels like cosmic justice.

    To this day I’m still a little confused as to what the plan was for Sanders to get over 50% of the delegates. There was this Twitter meme about how Sanders would be in trouble if he had to face off against the Voltron centrist candidate which was, in hindsight, an accidentally brilliant piece of punditry. Edit: the most prescient political tweet of 2020
  20. NearPup
    The primary was effectively over before COVID-19 became a major issue. Super Tuesday was a death blow to Sanders’ campaign.
  21. NearPup
    Biden, more than any candidate in any election I have ever followed, is running on the message of being the most vanilla politician imaginable.
  22. NearPup
    This sport is just begging to be kicked out of the Olympics at this point
  23. NearPup
    “The country has gone to hell during my four years as president, vote for me” is a bold strategy.
  24. NearPup
    Is this permanent or only because of COVID-19?
  25. NearPup
    I predict this debate won’t change many minds, which is much better if you are Biden than if you are Trump.
