The area l live in is very liberal. If it wasn't so geared toward the Democratic side then l think you're spot on. But then l doubt there are many people going around beeping their horns in 50/50 areas.This is a mistake imo.
50% of country hates the outcome and I fear over celebrating by the winning side may be seen as taunting by the losing side and we don't need to give any fringe lunatics added fuel to do something stupid.
Yeah. The celebrations will be in strongly blue areas. Like fans celebrating their team winning a championship.The area l live in is very liberal. If it wasn't so geared toward the Democratic side then l think you're spot on. But then l doubt there are many people going around beeping their horns in 50/50 areas.
Gov of MA just reclassified how they counted high risk zones . Went from 121 to 16 overnightWell for one we won't be hearing about Covid anymore, so we have that going for us.
Speaking of COVID, I was going to put a hypothetical poll up as to whether Trump wins without COVID. Unfortunately, it wouldn't post (not sure what l did wrong).Well for one we won't be hearing about Covid anymore, so we have that going for us.
Why do you believe this? Every news station today was still talking about it. Cases and deaths still rising.Well for one we won't be hearing about Covid anymore, so we have that going for us.
Shocking.Gov of MA just reclassified how they counted high risk zones . Went from 121 to 16 overnight
Can you offer a link?Gov of MA just reclassified how they counted high risk zones . Went from 121 to 16 overnight
Probably also worth noting that the governor of MA is a Republican.Can you offer a link?Gov of MA just reclassified how they counted high risk zones . Went from 121 to 16 overnight
He’s has been one the most restrictive governorsProbably also worth noting that the governor of MA is a Republican.
Thanks. The change looks good to me. 8 cases per 100,000 people seems like a very low number. Plus, it's hard to push to reopen schools when there are a lot of red-zone areas all over the place.
I believe COVID-19 will dominate the coverage again next week. The numbers the last few days have been enormous.Well for one we won't be hearing about Covid anymore, so we have that going for us.
Science has proven whether it is celebrations, protests or riots covid does not infect the left.People that are heading out to go celbrate biden winning are never allowed to lecture a soul about anything covid. And i bet the % of these people that have done so in the past is high.
CNN has always been tragedy porn. I suspect when there aren't 18 outrageous Trump stories a day to report on, it will be 100% COVID coverage. Unless there is a plane crash, of course. I guess we will see in January.I will be very interested to see how the MSM covers COVID once Biden takes office. Will it be the same graphics with numbers of doom and gloom or will there be this constant stream of hand picked, feel good stories of people recovering.
I frankly don't know how CNN is going to survive. They must have had some kind of daily quota on how many negative Trump articles they had on their website and newscasts at any given moment. I mean with him out of office, there are only so many plane crashes and cop shootings to fill the news day.
While they aren’t distancing...seems the mask wearing was almost unanimous.People that are heading out to go celbrate biden winning are never allowed to lecture a soul about anything covid. And i bet the % of these people that have done so in the past is high.

No kidding, right? I mean, who'd have thought that a novel virus would require one to continuously alter ones perspectives, approach, and actions, right?Shocking.
Got data to back up that assertion? And please make sure it is relative to per capita damage did to MA the past Spring. Not that I think you'd try to compare MA when it was an epicenter at the height of the novel pandemic on our shores with a lesser impacted state at a later date when more was known. You wouldn't do that, right?He’s has been one the most restrictive governors
You should qualify this a bit, as the method and style of celebrating matters. Driving around and honking one's horn seems reasonably safe. The outdoor, socially distanced cocktail party up the street from me consisting of 15 people seems reasonably safe.People that are heading out to go celbrate biden winning are never allowed to lecture a soul about anything covid. And i bet the % of these people that have done so in the past is high.
We saw the meme of the young woman crying in 2016 posted everywhere, constantly heard about "making libs cry," and "he's your president, get used to it." That would also be considered taunting, far more so than horn honking, but at any rate, it shouldn't be about "your side" winning. We're all still in the same boat here, and nobody likes sore winners or losers. Everyone needs to relax for a few months.This is a mistake imo.

I think he was probably referring to some of the photos shown here by CNN:You should qualify this a bit, as the method and style of celebrating matters.

Some of those are bad for sure.I think he was probably referring to some of the photos shown here by CNN:

Look at most they showed as Trump supporters...no masks (not even just off around the necks). Contrasted with the celebrations that seemed mostly full of people wearing masks.Some of those are bad for sure.
WTF is going on in Harrisburg? All the pictures from there look like no one is wearing masks.
I live in a red suburb of a deep blue city. Anecdotally, from what I've seen around me, both yesterday and over the past few months:Look at most they showed as Trump supporters...no masks (not even just off around the necks). Contrasted with the celebrations that seemed mostly full of people wearing masks.
Is that just CNN finding those without masks? Could be...but it shows the contrast in the two sides right now...a contrast that has been made about how the campaign was run...a contrast that was shown a lot on election night in many states as they showed Trump's approval rating when it comes to Covid.
The economy should have taken a back seat to ending Covid all the way back in March, but Trump decided that money was more important than 235,000 lives and counting, which is at least part of why he did nothing helpful to stop it, and furthermore, this entire narrative is patently false.Now that the media got their guy in office, the corona narrative will change. The doom and gloom will fade in a month or so. I’m excited that kids will return back to school and businesses will open. The dems know that they must match Trumps economy before Covid to keep hold of the power.
This will be poo-pooed by the left, but it is the absolute truth.Now that the media got their guy in office, the corona narrative will change. The doom and gloom will fade in a month or so.

Trump wins about the same as he did in 2016 without COVID. So we can take some good out of bad.Speaking of COVID, I was going to put a hypothetical poll up as to whether Trump wins without COVID. Unfortunately, it wouldn't post (not sure what l did wrong).
If anyone finds that an interesting poll question, please feel free to post it.
Thanks.
It's been a week, and the only narrative that has changed is that the incoming president actually has a plan to combat Covid.This will be poo-pooed by the left, but it is the absolute truth.
Covid all over the news the last few days. Want another shot at this one Mr Pack?Well for one we won't be hearing about Covid anymore, so we have that going for us.
They will just move onto the next Hannity talking point. History will reflect incredibly poorly on these four years.Covid all over the news the last few days. Want another shot at this one Mr Pack?
It should be easy to prove then.This will be poo-pooed by the left, but it is the absolute truth.
We’ll never know, but I agree we should recognize the good judgement of those who voted an ineffective leader out of office.Trump wins about the same as he did in 2016 without COVID. So we can take some good out of bad.
I agree. The pollsters totally screwed the pooch on this one. Difficult to imagine Trump not winning if the economy is moving along well and people aren't dying from COVID.Trump wins about the same as he did in 2016 without COVID. So we can take some good out of bad.
In Oregon, no matter how many positive cases, the hospitalizations remain low......even now.....and it's been spiking much higher than it ever was before for well over 2 weeks.....yet hospitalizations remain constant, and low.....it's interestingIt should be easy to prove then.
Personally, I believe the pandemic will be be so wildly out of control by the time Trump leaves it will be difficult to loosen restrictions - I wouldn’t be surprised if the opposite of what you’re suggesting occurs.
Oh great! The lifelong politician who can't remember where he is half the time is coming up with a plan! Hooray for the federal government!It's been a week, and the only narrative that has changed is that the incoming president actually has a plan to combat Covid.
Well, at least the false narrative with Biden is consistent. Too bad it's consistently wrong.Oh great! The lifelong politician who can't remember where he is half the time is coming up with a plan! Hooray for the federal government!
It remains a state level issue, mostly
C'mon man! Dude can't even complete a thought most of the time......he's had 47 years to perfect his speeches, so what's goin on?Well, at least the false narrative with Biden is consistent. Too bad it's consistently wrong.
He has a speech issue, which has been documented, and who here hasn't started a sentence and changed it midstream? That's practically a feature I have thanks to my ADD.C'mon man! Dude can't even complete a thought most of the time......he's had 47 years to perfect his speeches, so what's goin on?
Oh ok, I get it. Now that your guy is in, we're gonna give him a pass and call it a "speech issue". Nevermind he's potentially the oldest prez ever.....and he looks, and sounds like the oldest prez ever. I'm sure he's just as sharp as anyone who remembers when the telegraph was invented.He has a speech issue, which has been documented, and who here hasn't started a sentence and changed it midstream?

Yes, really
I figured out pretty early on in this to look at OHA's graph, and not read any news articles.
