    I think Trump winning would be due to the whole political correctness/cancel culture movement going WAY to hard at the average person for miniscul stuff.

    The only pro of Trump winning + a GOP Congress would be if they nuke the filibuster lol.

    If I were Democrats in that scenario, I would actually help them do it.

    Doesn't matter who wins in house or Senate. Half of them are about to be arrested. .

    Arizona being as close as it is was not what I was expecting, I was thinking yesterday that Trump had that one secured

    Trump having the current lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin is not good for Kamala though

    It's not nearly close enough to be 50/50. She's getting crushed. Smart people were saying Trump had an 85-90% chance. Only low info dimwits who stare at Twitter headlines all day like yourself thought it was 50/50. You lost boy, admit it.

    She will likely lose the popular vote too though. Are you in shock maybe?

    You don’t know the difference between probability of winning, median outcome, & mode. I literally said this yesterday lol:

    Not really. 538’s aggregate had the popular vote at Harris +1. Figured it’d be close.

    After all these years you still don't understand what probability means in the context of predicting the outcome of a presidential election, where a prediction is only as good as the data used and the accuracy of its interpretation. Calling an election a "coin flip" as you did is just another way of saying you don't know. "90% chance" means you are quite sure of an outcome, and 95%+ means you are very sure. If your prediction doesn't pan out, that means you were wrong. There is no "muh probability" about it. That's just sophistry.

    This is a little different from what's meant by the 50/50 probability of a quarter landing on heads or tails, where the outcome is determined by the exact force used by the flipper, their muscle movements and chemical reactions in their brain and so on. Such factors are not predictable, and have nothing to do with the outcome of an election. There is no corresponding way for a country to hold an election which would yield a different result depending on how it's held, because it's done basically the same way every year.

    You're going to flunk your political science course at this rate.

    Nothing you said in this ramble has anything to do with political science.
