Task an AI to clear the audit backlog for the IRS on all high number returns. That should complicate life for every major donor to the GOP.

Hopefully this election will be the death knell of polling regarding a candidate's lead in the national vote. Maybe accurate, but irrelevant.

It ought to be the death knell of polling at the state level, let alone national.

Everybody's models were wrong, even the conservative folks'.

If elected as moderator I would convene a study on deleting posts.  I envision a bi-partisan group of posters who would make recommendations to reform the forum system which has gotten "out of whack".

Do not believe my worthy opponent, no matter how sincere he seems or how nice his legs.  His ideas are nothing but a Trojan Horse for secret Death Squads which cause posters who say anything stronger than "horse poo" to vanish in the night, never to be heard from again.  It's true our threads will no longer explode in flames, but will it be worth it, if we also extinguish the warm hearth of Free Speech and passionate rhetoric forever?  And what about the children??

I like the forum the way it is now.

Underrated factor for Biden was Washington State going from 8 EVs in 2016 to 12 this year.

Critical also as New Jersey lost an EV this time around.   

What?

No, their states retained the same number of EVs as in 2016. Just no faithless electors in WA this year. No idea what you are talking about with NJ.

White people have had a racism and violence problem for a millennium or more now.
A problem since they've been running the world for centuries.

Hey, MODERATOR, can you start deleting the Larry/Uno flame posts? 

My thought:  if people can't grasp that neither whites nor blacks nor latinos are a "block" of voters, then they really aren't paying attention. 

Maybe time to retire the whole "black people should have voted this way" and "white people should have voted this way," garbage.

I don't think either Larry or Ham is claiming that an entire race is a block of voters.

Larry is pointing out that a majority of white voters supported a complete and utter degenerate loon for another four years.

Ham is claiming that Larry is a racist for pointing out that the white voters did that.

The interchange is deteriorated before it begins because the underlying issues are old, not new, and the importance is so high.

Which number post would you like me to start with for the deletions, or do you want it to start with the next one?

Do you think it should be done evenly or do you see the parties as different in how they should be treated and if so how?

The nice thing about Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, two or three of which we’ll get, is that they don’t put trump in range anymore.

Witch, witch, the ding-dong’s dead.

God bless Steady Joe. Long may he reign.

Why did the majority (not a massive majority) of White people vote for Trump?

. He's done well bringing peace to the Middle East
. Free trade agreement with China.
. The economy is going well.
. Wall to keep illegals and terrorists out.

No, but it is a lovely notion.
