Regardless of who wins, this election is going to have almost identical results to 2016. Biden will flip Arizona, but ultimately the results will hinge on close races in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. So far, the Trump/Biden results in rust belt counties that have reported almost all of their results are shockingly close to 2016. Even with increased turnout, the percentages roughly match. All the discourse, all the money, all the drama, all the theatrics about MANGO MUSSOLINI, and it's like it never even fucking happened.
Democrats spent *hundreds of millions of dollars on Amy McGrath, who lost by 20 points and had her race called by 8pm EST. Running against the most hated man in America who is literally a walking corpse. Imagine what those McGrath donations could have done to expand Covid testing, or pay to quarantine people in stadiums like they did in China (which is the only EFFECTIVE way to do a "lockdown")
Susan Collins is still somehow clinging to life even though Biden won Maine easily. Thom Tillis in NC will likely win (he's outperforming Trump, and Trump will probably take NC). Ernst easily won Iowa. Purdue and Cornyn easily won GA and TX. John James could flip the MI seat to the GOP. Republicans could also end up with a net gain of house seats.
The biggest black pill in all of this, no matter who wins, is that politics moving forward will truly be a game of mass spending. The point of blue Texas/blue GA memes isn't to reflect reality, it's to expand the map of competitive states to force campaigns to spend even MORE money chasing a vanishingly small number of swing/first time voters.
Even if he loses, you shouldn't.
