Who will win in 2020?

[WLJ]

What we are seeing is a majority of Americans voting for socialism.  Many of those voting for socialism would deny it, telling you that socialism is bad.  Then, in the next breath they would tell you what services and products they demand of government.  That what they demand is actually socialism is lost on them.  As I said earlier in this thread, never underestimate the stupidity of the average American voter.
At least America had a good run.  About average for a nominally free constitutional republic.

"So while everyone was asleep and after everyone went home, Democrats in Michigan magically found a trove of 138,339 votes, and all 138,339 of those "votes" magically went to Biden? That doesn't look suspicious at all," the Federalist's Sean Davis observed.

They're claiming there's enough guaranteed for Biden absentee ballots PA left to be counted to push Biden over the top

There's going to be a bunch of recounts and 1000's of rich lawyers when this is decided sometime next year.

Happened in 2016 in a few places as well. Magically found boxes of votes numbering in the tens of thousands, where 100% of the ballots in the box were for Clinton. Not a probability and statistical WTF at all. If someone found a box of ballots that were 100% for Trump, I wouldn't believe that either. Well, I could believe a box of 100%, but I would question how those ballots got in the box.

That does not bode well. If that holds, I'm going to switch my concerns to the senate, and cross my fingers that the R majority there holds. Which is little comfort, because with what will be a slim majority, there are too many quislings on the R side of the senate that will vote with the Ds on things like say, gun control.

I'm pretty sure we'll have a Biden presidency, complete with some seriously hard-core socialists in the Cabinet.

If we don't hold the Senate, this country is done.

If I make my self miserable because of who is running the federal government, I will probably be miserable most of my life.

I cannot control who is president.

I can only work on myself. 

I pray to have a positive attitude about what I can do, and try to brush off what I can't.

I think it will be healthy for me to avoid following the news.  What is the point of making myself unhappy about something happening far way of which I have no control?

Yep. And even if we “hold” the senate there are enough squishies in the R side to reach across the aisle and give the country the big reach around.

Civil war timeline got pushed up. All a Trump victory was anyway was delaying it a few years. There was never going to be another Republican President after him anyway.

Once the big rubber stamp Dem machine gets started the rest of us will feel how you poor bastards in VA felt watching them run over y’all the last few years at the state level.

God help us all we’re *expletive deleted*ed to the max.

The united states has had a socialist president before- FDR.

We have had many bad congresses.

The country is still here.

[RocketMan]

That's a popular myth.  While FDR had some socialist tendencies, he really wasn't a full blown socialist.

I think we are still a ways out from determining the winner of the election and I am holding my doom and gloom predictions in check pending the outcome.

100% agree.  Choosing to hang your emotional well-being on events outside of your control is not wise.  Note, there are those who will criticize you for being a fatalist, and suggest that such attitudes are part of the problem.

Some wise words. While talking to my 93 year old dad last Sunday, he said similar, recounting all the Presidents he survived, the worst of which were still better than living in WW2 and post WW2 Germany, which he emigrated from in 1957.

That's probably because SO MUCH money is spent on politicking during election cycles that is non-productive.  Now those resources can go back into economically viable channels rather than the vampiric drain of campaigning.

I do not want to imitate people who drove themselves crazy with fear and hate over the fact that Trump was President.

I am depressed about the result. 

I do hope to work on my attitude.  It is not one I want to keep.

Though I'll accept the results, I still want to go around calling Biden "46", telling people we should immediately impeach him, and also invoke the 25th amendment like every two weeks until he's out. Then I'll only refer to Harris as "46.5". Just to keep all those twitter celebrities posting head-explody stuff for my entertainment.

Somewhat scary prediction

Trump loses PA after the dems "find" enough ballots to flip it
Trump then contests this in the courts
It get tossed to the SC
Antifa and the dems flip out, open insurrection, cities start burning

 Pray to whatever god you pray to that I'm wrong and it never gets to this

How far are you from Oregon?   They have some things that could alter your attitude.

I don't care anymore. Too many idiots out there voting themselves bread and circuses. Time to let the whole thing burn the *expletive deleted*ck down.
