If all of Jo’s votes would’ve put Trump over the top, I’ll buy you another one of those 4 packs. 👍

@LuFins-Dad it looks like Trump will lose to Biden in Virginia by a little over 400,000 votes, and my candidate Jo received a total of about 63,000 votes. Just an update. 👍

We didn’t say which state for that part! Jo’s votes would have put Donald over the top in Michigan! 5555

Say what you will about Trumps personality, it won't be his personality he will be remembered for. Half of the shit he's accused of isn't even true anyway. What he will be remembered for is what he accomplished. And it will be remembered from the perspective of people wishing they could go back to it. But it will be too late.

I have never said the MSM isn't hopelessly biased.

The only difference I have with most conservatives is saying that FoxNews is part of MSM, and every bit as corrupt.

Unless you also complain about Fox, then you're not actually complaining about bias, you're complaining about the fact that the bias doesn't favour your side.

Sure, federal legislations that improve voting have been done before (e.g., the Voting Rights Act of 1965). Enacting more federal laws aimed at improving voting in this nation can be done again.

... a Toyota, or even a Chevy.

Those cars make financial sense.

They should cap the spend at something like 1 million dollars.

If you can't do something useful with a million bucks you have no business running the country with other people's money.

As Aqua said, the narrative is not going to change.

Jonah!

@Jolly Definitely within recount range, and you can use that to begin the heavy lifting for double checking these mail in ballots.

@LuFins-Dad said in What happened to the motivated electorate?:

60%... Except Wisconsin, they came in at 90%...

That's really motivated!

Burge nails it.

@jon-nyc said in Post-election predictions:

You say that as a true conservative who reluctantly supports Trump.

Those boys with the flags on their trucks are quite different from you.

Almost half the country voted for Trump. A little over half of it voted against him. I think very few people actually voted for Biden.

Hillbillies. So-called idiots in pickup trucks. Etc. As long as they supported Trump, apparently they are the less intelligent among us.

Are you turning into some kind of elitist?

Yeah, I saw the videos today. Certainly not an assault.

Why aren't those two guys in the back running?

@Mik said in California leaves Uber and Lyft as contractors:

I looked into it as a way to be out and around. Looked to me like a great inconvenience for very little money. Unless you want to take on weekend drunks.

You gotta know how it works.

I never drove for Uber because when there's a dispute, Uber almost never backs the driver. And user ratings are everything. So pick up one Karen too many and you're now doomed with a month or so of very few pickups.

With Lyft, the game was to park at gas stations that are at most 15 minutes out from zones that become high need. Serious bonus money when you do pickups in these areas, but you gotta be willing to get there and they change every 30 minutes. You can't work wherever you want if you expect to make any money. You gotta go where you're needed. Also, a lot of the other bonuses—like simply being available for pickup for consecutive high-need hours—has dried up considerably. I think this is due to their startup money drying out and the market now being saturated with drivers.

It can work but not like it used to, and not at all like folks think it can.

Bonus story: I once took an Uber 50+ miles to get to a job interview because through crazy happenstance, my wife had my keys. The time window was narrow but the driver crushed it. It cost a shitload but I got the job.
