Just a few thoughts before the numbers start pouring in, as I try to take a break to de-obsess:
--Joe Biden is up by at least 8% nationwide. Let's say he only wins by 5%. In an election of 150,000,000 votes, that means he wins 7,500,000 more votes than Donald Trump. But Donald Trump would still have a legitimate shot at winning the election. I know it's fashionable to criticize the Electoral College...but this is why. That's seriously fucked up.
--If Biden can win Florida (he's up by a little over 2%) by a decent amount--say over 1%--this thing could be over by 9:00 Iowa time. Max 10:00. If, on the other hand, Trump wins that state, it probably gets decided in Pennsylvania, and that could take days. That's when the crazy, disturbing shit could start.
--Biden should win. He should. God, may he win. But here's the really depressing thing, even if he does. After all the crazy shit Trump and his acolytes have done, over 60,000,000 are still going to vote for that version of America. We are far--very far--from being a healthy society.
--Florida, please? Please? Florida? Just this once...
