It's probably time for a new one of these.
NE-2 went to Biden so a tie is unlikely unless he loses NV so stop posting about that.
Other admins, please replace this when there is a result. I'm going to bed.

The 🇱🇷 2020 🇱🇷 American 🇱🇷 Presidential 🇱🇷 Elections 🇱🇷 are the single most important political event since The Last Fascist was VOTED 🔫 OUT 🔫. We on the admin team see it as our duty to enforce the views of our audience by any parasocial means necessary.
As a nacho-socialist cabal, we see no path to revolution other than by focusing the majority of our leisure time on consuming bougie media. Media that is obsessed with the details of an election we decided our preferences on months ago, if not years ago. Here's the bottom line: Voting makes you a good person and not voting makes you a bad one. Don't believe us? Just ask Lenin:
A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Palchinskys, Chernovs, Tseretelis and Co.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.
We must also note that Engels is most explicit in calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Universal suffrage, he says, obviously taking account of the long experience of German Social-Democracy, is "the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state."
See? We can't let capital take control of this "very best shell"! Turtles belong to the people! And the way we do that is by voting for posts.

Obama always came off as more radical than Biden. You can't get more right wing for a Democrat than Biden.
They don't care about that. It's not based in reality. They don't understand what he is. All they care about is that he's associated. They think Obama is a communist devil - thus so is Biden. At least that's the only way I can rationalize it. Either that or they really hate Mexicans and love the wall.
We're not in this fucking situation because Trump called Biden a socialist.
Dawg calling Dems socialist was literally the only plank in the Trump campaign and others, we need to realize that it fucking works regardless of reality
But it doesn't work. The Obama years prove it doesn't work.
So why are we in this position?
Am I being fucking trolled right now?
Because BIDEN FOCUSED ON MODERATE REPUBLICANS IN THE SUBURBS!
This is the thing we've been saying would happen for YEARS!
We always said Dems would do this and they'd fuck it up and blame socialists do deflect blame from themselves, and you're sitting here going "huh I guess it's because they called him a socialist." You're literally swallowing the narrative that dems want you to swallow that we've KNOWN SINCE 2016 THEY WOULD PUSH! This is so fucking obvious and you're just...just fucking doing it! FUCKING STOP IT!
