anyone with a brian can see he has essentialy no chance of winning. 1 the electoral collage has historicaly favored the Republican Party, and does not care about the popuar vote. Second if you look at the bases, you see the Republican base still fanatical about Trump with almost no drop off, arguably he is growing, and the dem base is so un enthused its not even funny, and as usual their stratagy is to point a gun a the head of their base and say vote for me the other guy is worse. A statement that is technicaly true but functionaly they are more or less the same materialy

I disagree. I spend a lot of time reading far right forums and those guys are almost completely demoralized as of writing this comment.

They just do not hate Biden then same way they hated Obama or Hillary.

It's true I'm lacking a Brian. The last Brian I knew was in high school. That guy wasn't very smart about electoral politics, though. Or anything else, for that matter.

1 the electoral collage has historicaly favored the Republican Party, and does not care about the popuar vote.

The electors in the electoral college vote for the candidate they're pledged to. The Biden electors will vote for Biden. If there are more Biden electors than Trump electors, Biden wins.

The electors in the electoral college vote for the candidate they’re pledged to.

And the 2016 election proved that was a lie. There's nothing holding the electors to the will of the people. They'll do whatever the oligarchs want, and everyone not in the club becomes an onahole.
