It's going to be a mess either way "democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others" But he two party system is just very divisive, it's either this or that, black or white. And there isn't even a party which is anti war etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know much about other EU country, but in France you have equal advertising on tv, which helps a lot. (Even though most of the times, it's the same two parties who win) We have the same in the UK, they have what they call 'party political broadcasts' at set times, usually around 7 or 8pm on normal TV. Each party gets the same amount of time and they cant advertise on TV or radio. I think they maybe allowed billboards but im not sure, i havent seen them recently anyway. I might go as far as to say there is no advertising outside of the assigned ones. Where they do go crazy is the tabloid newspapers (The Sun, The Mirror etc) each one has an obviously biased political stance, Murdoch owned a couple of them in fact. Even these have a massive effect on voters so i cant imagine the effect it has in America. The other thing is the amount of time campaigns last for, in the US i think its a year or something in the UK its basically a month or 2 If you liked whatever i said in this post, check out my youtube channel for actual me talking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2020 The below map is based on states with current leads. And based on current data, this is the most likely map. (A recount has been ordered in GA). Biden would have 306 EVs, the exact number Trump had in 2016. Yet Biden would also win the popular vote by 4m, which Trump lost by 3m. In terms of states won, it is actually very close to 538s prediction (yet the margins were narrower). I'm curious: Did anyone predict in this thread predict this map?

So it's important not to demonize those people, they are only "stupid" because, in a sense they have to. Trump is just intuitively pushing all those buttons because (funnily enough) it is a reflection of his own inabilities to not fall for those traps himself. We are VERY lucky to live in the part of the world we live to be able to see through that, don't forget that Edited November 6, 2020 by Shin God is love Whoever lives in love lives in God And God in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2020 Quote Trump campaign, which has initiated a legal blitz in swing states, has already announced that it will request a recount in Wisconsin, where President Donald Trump trails Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by about 20,000 votes. Wisconsin law allows for a candidate to request a recount if the margin in the race is within 1 percent. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/could-recount-flip-key-battleground-history-says-don-t-count-n1246596 Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2020 Philly reactions Biden taking the lead in Pennsylvania this morning. The "Dancing In the Streets" comment refers to a classic Motown song that referenced Philadelphia, by Martha and the Vandellas. They were an African American girl group formed in Detroit in 1957. In 2016, urban voters were partially blamed for Trump's win. This year, urban voters turned out big time in predominately black cities like Milwaukee, Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia - to tip those states to Biden. It's an invitation across the nation A chance for folks to meet There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging Dancing in the street Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street) Baltimore and D.C. now (dancing in the street) Can't forget the Motor City (dancing in the street) All we need is music, sweet music (sweet music) There'll be music everywhere (everywhere) There'll be swinging, swaying, and records playing Dancing in the street Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2020 1 hour ago, Consept said: Politics needs to just be really boring for a while. I think that we all need to get ahold of our attention spans and learn to meditate, breathe, keep an open mind and go offline for long enough periods of time to break addiction cycles. Then hopefully we can actually have a conversation instead of this react/react, clash/clash, assume/assume pattern so many of us are stuck in. I know that for myself, it's been really difficult to focus this past week. To me focus is giving my attention to what I want, not what I don't want. Constant checking of my Facebook feed and news sites make it almost impossible to maintain, maybe that's just where I'm at. We need to be able to have the capacity to stay open and not get triggered as if we are bored while not avoiding important, stimulating subjects. If we can't, I guess we need to just drop it. I'm starting to believe that meditation is essentially the answer to everything. If awareness precedes all knowing, awareness is the only real "knowing" there ever could be. You can't outsource your source. On the morning after the election, I had not expected Biden to win, but I had this waking dream where I was a woman thinking about what I'd need to pack to move into the white house.
