Trump this year has more than Obama did in either year. I mean, that's just the nature of the US population going up by 10% (and skewing older) since 2008.
Truthfully, they could call these states. I realize mathematically that Trump could win them, but it’s done. They call other states when it’s evident that it’s gone one way, and yes I get that calling the state for Biden when he’s behind at this point isn’t normal, but at the same time it’s a media projection. It’s not like if CNN (it another outlet) makes a call that it’s official.
I'd love them to, if only for the late calls from Donald to the stations. Would be a popcorn munching good time.

You could call Penn and Nevada. Georgia has to wait because of the potential for ballots to come in tomorrow.
Optically though it would appear that you know what ballots are coming because you rigged it with the Dems so best to wait until he passes to call the state.
Socialized medicine is not the problem. You are cherry picking here. Defunding the police and other such policies are what I was worried about.
Calling it socialized medicine is the problem, you call it the American universalized health care insurance act and you can sell it to them, they aint the smartest bulbs on the Christmas tree, they need a non scary name

Fair enough but Trump is insanely popular...he has a literal cult behind him
Biden's biggest issue was people worried he was a socialist
Canadians do not truly understand American repulsion to the term socialism. They just don't get it. It is an anvil around your neck a puts a target on you. It's ridiculous, but it is the way things are. It's like being a Flames fan and hearing the word Oiler. Last thing you want to be labeled is an Oiler or Oiler fan. Take that, and ramp it up a few thousand degrees. That is socialist/socialism to most Americans.
Anyways, good luck with the double down. The problem is unlike Trump voters, progressives don’t show up. This is stock answer for the far left set.
Look, the Democrats obviously have to do something. Trump won black voters and latino voters at a higher rate than last time, and the latter is particularly concerning because of demographics and the fact that latinos are more conservative voters than a lot of people think. The current establishment strategy seems to be failing to produce a lot of energy while alienating a large group of voters who they should be able to win.
I don't know what the right answer is exactly, but this shouldn't have been this close.

Joe Biden set a record in this election for total votes, and counting.
I think some of the far left/progressives showed up.

I agree, that is why I think some of the dem candidates that were actually really good people and had good ideas didn't stand a chance.
I wish Joe was a bit younger but everything else he was the perfect candidate TO BEAT TRUMP
Lol. Who are you even talking to? Did anyone ever suggest AOC run? She’s not even eligible.
Did any democrat even use Defund the Police as a talking point? Did Bernie?
And just because American voters are dumb and don’t understand the definition of the word socialism, doesn’t make AOC and Bernie failures as politicians.
Is this all trump supporters have left now? “See guys, those candidates that us trump supporters hate and are afraid of, that were never going to run or never had a chance at winning the nomination, well they wouldn’t have won anyways.”
Wow, good call Nostradamus. Nailed that one.
And seriously? Politicians who want equality, to end police brutality and racism, and want to introduce healthcare for all are basically untouchable because Americans fear these things.
But yeah, keep fighting the good fight man.
Hah, keep the head in the sand.
I am actually would be considered a Democrat and in Canada pre-Trudeau a Liberal.
Not that we didn't already know Trump was lying when he said that Republicans are funded by working class people and Democrats funded by wealthy elites, but:

Why?
Is that back to Macarthyism / red scare?

We know, we just think its asinine.
And continually pointing out how asinine it is online helps (at a glacial pace) to shift the mentality. Maybe when I'm an old man that mentality will be dead.

It's also worth remembering that Biden is vastly outperforming those numbers in mail-in ballots in those Trump counties. For instance in the last batch from Forsyth (Trump +34), Biden got 63% of the votes and was over 50% in the previous, larger batch from there.
It makes sense that Cubans are terrified of a socialist. You would think people would be smart enough to realize it was just a Trump play and Joe is pretty close to the center but then you meet people and realize...they aren't
