I feel like at least one polling station will be shot up on Tuesday

Not only do I expect this week to be violent in the U.S., I expect it's more likely than not that there will be months or more of scattered violence from his mob, particularly if and when he loses.

My guess is that there will be mobs on both sides of the equation. Look, I like Biden a lot but the guy was falling asleep at his rally yesterday, Obama had to help him off the stage.  I would vote for Biden but my feeling is that his VP is going to be running the show shortly and I am not a big fan of that idea.

What's the term....fake news?

Just watching CNN and the amount of store front boarding up going on across the US is nuts.

It?s going to be a chaotic week.

With any luck Biden will win one or two of the Southern swing states and things will be wrapped up early tomorrow night. Most of the plugged in data people I'm reading have it as Biden with something in the range of 300-330 electoral votes and I think that's as good a guess as any but after 2016 I'm not much for trying to guess these things out.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.  If indeed Biden can get 300+ pretty cleanly early, I don't think you see too much trouble.  If it's close though...look out.

 

[Joe S.]

News outlets are really hedging their bets. In the same site you can see articles predicting a Biden win, a Trump win or a tie.

I can?t wait for this to be over.

Yup. If Biden can get to ~220 electoral votes before the West Coast votes come in, I think we avoid the worst case scenarios - especially if there are large enough margins in most of the swing states (if not by total votes, then at least by percentage of votes in states where early and mail-in ballots won't be counted by midnight tomorrow). Heaven help us if too many of PA, WI, MI, FL, OH, NC, etc., are razor close.

I think that's because before an election all you really have are probabilities. A site like 538 says straight up that they're not predicting anything but are just trying to work out what the polling data says about potential outcomes and they've been clear that all manner of things are possible while stressing the outcomes that are more likely.

 

[Kin]

Also, I know this is sort of indicative of just my general mood at the moment but right now my twitter timeline is either people talking about the election in apocalyptic terms or the small group of football writers I follow being like "But what did yesterday's game really tell us about the Seahawks' offensive line and their ability to protect on 3rd and long?" and even though I know those people are just doing their jobs and probably have the same anxieties as everyone else I can't help but hate them just a little bit because of it

I predicted a Biden win and Harris will be president in less than a year. Book it.

Doesn't care about anybody but himself, his family and his money. Get that through your heads people. Lying, conniving little baby.

Azzurri has hit the nail on the head, but I give Jumpin Joe about 3 months max. 

 

[Kin]

I don't get it. Is the suggestion that Biden resigns or is the suggestion that Biden dies? Because the former isn't going to happen and there's no real reason to suggest he's on death's door.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I could see Biden not running for a second term but yeah there's no way he just ups and leaves after 3 months. Biden winning isn't going to magically fix all of the problems down there and him stepping down would just create even more turmoil. Just a silly suggestion really.

 

[bustaheims]

Yeah, Biden?a not stepping down so quickly. He?s said he doesn?t I tend to run for a 2nd term, but he?s not going cut his first term short. Not after finally getting to the big chair.

We're only going to get more and more screwed up by deep fakes. I seriously hope we don't end up where we have no way of identifying what video is true and what is false in 10 years.

I'm hoping this line of reasoning has motivated the living hell out of the Dems and anyone who thinks their vote doesn't matter.

I see no reason for Biden to decline that quickly. Don't think Trump is any more healthy by comparison.

I should hire you to pick the stocks in my portfolio.

This is a pretty long thread, but it literally spans 65ish million years, so...

Oh look Trump mocked Biden for going to visit the grave of his son on election day.  This damn well better end today.
