    Do away with the electoral college and you would never have been elected in the first place.

    I think we all brushed off the attacks about socialism but in reality they worked shockingly well. A lot of Latin American immigrants come from countries with left wing authoritarian governments. No one with roots in Venezuela or Cuba is going to touch a candidate that is even remotely associated with the word socialism.

    I really hope the Bernie Sanders/AOC wing of the party take note of that. The Republicans are really good at branding otherwise terrible ideas. Democrats somehow take good ideas and decide to brand those ideas in the silliest ways possible.

    Stupid ignorant question:
    Are electoral votes proportional to the population of each state or they stay the same from the beginning of the country?

    If for example everyone decided to move to North Dakota would it raise it's electoral voters in the next elections?

    The proclamations are so unfounded and ridiculous it’s hard believe any person of average intelligence could fall for it after just the smallest amount of research.

    Agreed, all votes should be counted no matter how long it takes.

    I believe they’re proportional and can change after each census

    CNN calls MI for Biden. They are super conservative with their calls.

    So if he holds NV and AZ, he wins.

    We won't know about NV until 2021 though so there's that.
