But it could lead to -more- civil unrest, as people who buy into the lies get upset because they were -lies-, claiming their boy won and that democrats stole it.
Yes but the hooligans among them don't need more excuse than they already have and the rest of the bunch isn't going to hit the streets anyway.
I hope you're right, but.... we're not nearly as civilized as Norway, or even the UK.....
Yep, you aren't kidding about Clinton and his legacy. We don't need any more old-boys. I LOVE Innula's idea of Stacey Abrams.

Well I'm screwed beccause I refuse to say The Asshole's name.
"Adios Orange Ape" is an acceptable alternative.
Why settle for Canada? Check out Holland.
He told us he was going to try and do this. Dirty rat bastard.
I love Holland and if they allowed it would move there, except my progeny keep me glued to Texas.
But there is another problem election models face that they are especially susceptible to, and that is sabotage. It is the internet age, the age of Boaty McBoatface and "Pastafarianism" - i.e., substantial numbers of poll respondents giving deliberately dishonest or bad data en masse with the goal of achieving a poll result that is "funny" or rhetorically preferred rather than objectively accurate. Specifically when it comes to Trump, I mentioned a few days before the election that there was reason to believe there were whole masses of Trump voters who either were refusing to answer election and presidential job-approval surveys at all, or else were falsely claiming to be undecided or even Biden voters, with the specific hopeful purpose of producing a (completely manufactured) "surprise" or "comeback" re-election win for Trump in defiance of survey results.
That could account for some, but we are talking about a 1 in 10 chance vs reality. Could it have amounted to THAT much? Something is off. Maybe the method of polling. We've often talked about it targeting land lines, which not many people even have anymore. Not sure how much of a difference that would make either.
I think it could possibly account for a LOT. I certainly think it could give a pollster the confidence to, say, give Biden a 90% chance, but then watch the actual ballots come exruciatingly down to the wire.
Not enough housing, jobs, and space.
If I were to move back to Europe I think I'd want to move back to Munich - sure I -know- it has changed a lot since the early 70s, but it was the last place I live in Europe, and also well, where a good sized chunk of family came from on my dad's side [a few centuries ago.]
They have no sympathy for some kid with his finger in a dyke for years and years stopping the whole place from flooding.
