I'm still neutral on how this will go. Gut says Trump, but so many wacky things happen suddenly now that who knows. Some part of me still thinks Trump might go to jail or face some legal consequences. It's still very surprising that Colorado and New Hampshire knocked him off their ballots and now it's going to the supreme court. Also either of them might die or go infirm before November.

I hate living in historically interesting moments

It might actually be funnier if biden wins despite this kind of polling. Might get a redo for Jan 6

lmao this time trump wins the popular vote but biden gets in on EC

[-] axont@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

that's what I've been guessing might happen for a while. It would be hilarious. It would be the first time that would happen in a Democrat's favor (except if you count 1824, but I don't).

Would be hilarious to see just because the chuds and libs would do a switcheroo on their EC stance.

and nothing would fundamentally change biden-troll

Yeah that tectonic plate of a contradiction might fucking do it

ahh but memories are short and other things are also shiny

This is the actual funniest option but would require an almost complete 180 on who virtually every state votes for.

Getting 6 electoral voters because you got a combined 12 votes in the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana is why republicans always do better in EC than popular votes.

Or in an epically morbid rhyme, we let the Supreme Court decide again.
