Lets not forget Rodney King in 1991 did anything change under the Democrats. Oh that's right, it didn't.

In English, please.

Clive Palmer/Mark Latham board.

Mark Latham came close.

As entertaining as I find the leftie panic about the state of the race.. i reckon the remaining postals break massively for Biden and he comes back and wins.

If not.. Dems will once again only have themselves to blame for nominating Joe.

 

[RobbieGray17]

No, we just have a great spread throughout each state.

We do have North Queensland

 

[2006_Eagles]

That's not a real tweet, you goose

Not to mention it's from 2012

How do people gloss over these things

 

[greatwhiteshark]

How is it possible that voting in this day and age is still done with pen and paper. Voting all over the world should have been electronic decades ago.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

People getting outraged as usual about Trump's comments while ignoring how underhanded the Democrats can be in their attempts to get rid of Trump.

Please explain.

 

[Evolved1]

No, we just have a great spread throughout each state.

Most AFL crowds are equally bogan as the Trump crowd.

 

[Doctor Feel]

The amount of breaking the postals will need to do is pretty phenomenal. It's going to be very close.

I was disappointed to see ABC (Australia) go with the juvenile take to appease their juvenile-minded audience.

'Trump wants to stop votes from being counted after today'.

Come on, how far gone (or how far drunk) do you have to be to believe this?

George Bush was President in 1991.

I'm pro-trump, and he said exactly that. What he meant was postal votes that hadn't arrived by today shouldn't be counted.

It is becoming increasingly clear that people simply don’t care about progressive issues. They don’t care about the environment. They don’t care about race. They don’t care about LBGTQIA. They don’t care about any policy.

People simply don’t like change.

And all the progressive issues represent change and not enough people want to do it.

And change is the easiest thing in the world to attack.

Nah, back in 2016 enough people saw Trump as a potential opportunity to reform a corrupt system.

2020 appears to be more a case of Trump's remaining base being unexpectedly large, or the negative partisanship against him being less than expected. Biden vice versa obviously.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Just caught bits of Trumps presser, WTF.....

if things swings against him shits gunna get serious real quick.

My bet is a fire where the postal votes are held. That would succeed.

 

[chunkylover53]

He actually does. Australia are the ones copping in the arse for his trade war with China.

Oh please. We were firing up with China long before Trump came along. This rhetoric has popped up the closer the election has got.

Swapping Biden for Trump wouldn't make much difference to Australia

On most issues, a Biden administration wouldn't affect the lives of average Australians. Except for COVID-19 policies that delay the economic recovery - which would cost us a lot.

He does. Just like every US President does. Nobody has been conned.

Idiot Americans have been conned into thinking Trump’s absurd ideas are practical and his moves benefit them not the 1%. This is a clown who doesn’t understand what a trade deficit is. A clown who thinks men still work in the Ford factory like it’s 1930.

The US president does not have a big effect on every day Australians lives. As long as America's Reagonomics are in place and Australia remains a strategic ally, it has two fifths of * all effect on us. Until someone can come in and re-jig their entire system then our relationship with the US will run itself.

Manufacturing is a giant part of the US, 12% of total output to be exact. Never mind he's actually sent manufacturing backwards with his tariffs that US firms pay for that nobody has seemed to notice.

 

[NSWCROW]

Looking at the numbers left in the 5 key states remaining, and the way the percentages look like they might break based on where the vote is, Biden can definitely eek this out.

The court cases will be insane.

Exactly, don’t know how others seem to think he said otherwise.

 

[pjcrows]

Mail in ballots that have been used for years and no one has cared: "This is seriously rigged, I wouldn't trust it"

The Electroral College system that means 3 of the last 6 elections have resulted in the person who gets less votes winning: "SOMETHING SOMETHING TRADITION. SOMETHING SOMETHING CONSTITUTION. SOMETHING SOMETHING ABRAHAM LINCOLN"

If that is the rules then why should the rules not be followed?

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Not since the Cuban missile crisis.

After then the Doomsday clock has largely been moved backwards, with the START treaties and other nuclear non proliferation treaties, the dismantling of the Berlin wall, Perestroika and the dissolution of the USSR and so forth.

It got all the way back to 17 minutes to midnight.

Over the past decade it's been steadily moving forwards again. We're now at 100 seconds to midnight.

Midnight meaning 'full scale nuclear war or other humanity ending extinction event'.

tahts some of the most alarmist bs ive ever cast my eyes upon. Did you duck for cover when the Mayan calander predicted the end of the world too? Geez man if you buy everything that someone sells you are basically part-owner. Oh and if you do believe that graph than what... are you admitting that Obama has taken us closer to full scale nuclear war?

[The Falcon Strike]

Does each state decide for themselves when votes count if they arrive after Election day.

I think i read there was no uniform rule

It is such a stupid system. No balance at all.

 

[Bungeye]

Trump would be as much chance of winning an election in this country as Pauline Hanson.

Are you saying Aussies are more intelligent than Americans?

Two different issues.
