As I write this, it is Friday, November 6th, 10:00 am central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first, Biden will most likely win, which should not come as much of a surprise at this point, even if you are a right-winger. Protest as much as you want, just don&#8217;t start riots &#8211; we don&#8217;t need any more of those from anyone. The ones going on now should stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will definitely be recounts, because the margins of the votes are so narrow. I absolutely support a recount of votes, regardless of my politic views. When recounting, we will never reach the exact same numbers because humans make mistakes, this is unavoidable. Conversely, people don&#8217;t trust machines, so I guess we&#8217;re deadlocked with this slow and inaccurate way of counting ballots. Frankly, I am okay with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voter fraud has to be one of the most incredibly difficult things to pull off. It certainly hasn&#8217;t been done this year. In the age where cameras are so abundant, and so many eyewitnesses to the sworn in ballot counters, you can&#8217;t easily fraud ballots to the degree that it changes an election result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m skeptical of the numbers of people saying there&#8217;s evidence of people burning ballots, abandoning boxes full on the side of the road, and other similar reports. I fully believe that this does happen, but to say that those ballots are always for or against one candidate is where you start losing me. There are shitty people on both ends of the political spectrum, and both have no qualms about committing this kind of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, to some actual predictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trump will definitely push for the Republican majority US Supreme Court to call this election, in attempt to win via seemingly tyrannical methods.<\/li><li>If Biden wins, there will be an immediate surge of racism, as the right is upset and will speak out. This surge will only last a little while before things get calmed back down.<\/li><li>If Biden wins, Trump will absolutely pout about this election for years. Losing this election will only make Trumps distain for Democrats and Democracy in general worse.<\/li><li>&#8220;Thank Biden&#8221; is going to become a saying very soon.<\/li><li>If Biden wins, Trump will use the lame duck period to set up as many road blocks for Biden and what he plans to achieve while President.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the only predictions I&#8217;m completely comfortable making at the time, but I would like to continue with some other topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of rumors talking about how Biden is nothing more than a trojan horse for Kalama Harris to become president down the line. While that is possible, I do not believe that is the current &#8220;plan&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Biden is the new, oldest president we have ever had. Followed by Trump. I do not think it&#8217;s a great idea to have new oldest presidents every election. We need some younger minds in office, people who can entirely comprehend the age of the internet and information we are living in. With our President consistently being so old, the chances of Vice President becoming President is more and more likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, Kamala Harris is not Presidential material, and there is an uneasy feeling I have about her position as Vice President, but the alternative Trump\/Pence combination is worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The silver lining here is that I do believe Biden will live more than four years. I hope he is just another single term president, and we can honorable replace him with someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, my current view point on the United States&#8217; Political Situation is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No candidate this election cycle was the correct choice. Money got in the way of how this country should be ran, which is an inherent vulnerability with America being a primarily capitalist ran country. The American people are doing their best trying to repeatedly decide between two evils, which present themselves in different ways. It&#8217;s awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, this country is fucked and has been for a long time. Trump increased to fucking levels quite a bit in the four short years while in office. Maybe, at least, Biden can slow the fucking down to a tolerable level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to put it some words before any results for the election actually come out.
