Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There are still millions of uncounted votes in CA. Trump has gone from 72.6 million yesterday morning to 73.4 million today. Y'all really need to stop quoting these numbers as if they're anything but preliminary.
edit: Knee-jerk downvoting of a factual correction. Class act right here. Screen shot for those who have poor vision and/or analytical reasoning skills...
There are 93,000 uncounted votes in Calfornia today. Hardly a spit in the ocean to this point.
It's way more than 93,000.
Running from the Google results page that quotes the AP:
58% reporting
Kamala Harris 57.6% 6,108,150 votes
Donald Trump 39.8% 4,216,520 votes
Robert Kennedy 1.1% 116,628 votes
Jill Stein 0.8% 87,842 votes
Chase Oliver 0.4% 39,805 votes
Claudia De la Cruz 0.4% 37,673 votes
So, adding that all up, this 58% is 10,606,618 votes.
So 58/10,606,618 vs 100/x Solve for x.
10,606,618 x 100 / 58 = Around 18,287,272 votes total.
Meaning about 7,680,654 votes still to count.
Which is still meaningless to the point. But, thanks for your input.
5.4 million.

That's exactly the same link I just provided for you. Are you trolling?
Didn't read it as a link from you. Using tablet.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and please try to math better if you're going to respond again. This is getting frustrating.
When get around to it. Meanwhile, you can tell me how these missing votes change Trump's ceiling or Harris underperformance. You are only changing conditions, nothing more,
This is what I said:
Don't put words in my mouth.
In other words, meaningless to the point. Thanks for your input.
Sorry you can't process a single number on a spreadsheet. Must be hard.
Sorry if you cannot define a salient fact.
