The percentage reported was clearly on each graph

—YES—

extremely early in the counting, but the numbers were true and correct and the point of sharing was President Trump had received more votes than the Top Three Democrats COMBINED!!!


Guess what, the same was 100% TRUE with over 99% of the polling locations counted:

 


You can read the Texas Tribune story for yourself.


Also, I posted about this a page or two later regarding the voting results in Texas.




If you can show where Charlie Kirk or The Texas Tribune got the numbers wrong, I’ll gladly share that information here at SYG. If not, guess you’d better stick your head back in the sand......or pop more popcorn!



God help me. They puuuullled me back in.

Your initial graphic was showing the numbers at a time when 1.48% was reporting for red, and 0.76% were reporting for blue. Those numbers are RIGHT ON THE SLIDES. But then again, I'm talking to a racist, homophobic Magaman. WTF am I doing?

Turning to the general audience now......

Bernie is only 60 or so delegates behind, right? Has the media gone overboard with Joe's "success"? Isn't Trump on tape saying he fears Bernie the most? I don't buy this notion that Bernie as the nominee = another 4 years of numbnuts. I fear that Joe as the nominee could mean that.

Looks like its going to be old dude VS old dude, looks like I'm looking for different options. These options suck.

well i'm glad you're back.

anyway... there was an article i linked here 2 days ago with a journo's prediction that the media was going to overrate biden. not because "conspiracy" but because geography favored early release of his strongest states while his weakest would trickle down over days.

nevertheless, he's beaten expectations. and warren didn't meet them, hence her announcement.

as for risk: any of the candidates could mean another 4 years of the beast. they all have their weaknesses, one way or another, and they appeal to different sectors of the electorate and not to everyone. the issue is which sector is larger.

i agree with your previous post that bernie makes a better presentation, but the outrage you mention, which i find at times appealing, is a huge turnoff for suburban moderates. i'm not a suburban moderate, i'm just telling you they exist in very large numbers and vote reliably.

and in a country like this one, going after "the billionaires the billionaires the billionaires" doesn't quite fly. this culture makes icons out of billionaires. you can only run so far on resentment against the rich. resentment here works better when it's targeted towards poor people and minorities, which is trump's playbook.

anyway, add to this that now we know bernie has failed to turn out the youth vote, and it adds up to a large risk for his potential candidacy. i bought for a moment the argument of greater turnout making him viable, and while he does show decent cross-demographic appeal, the turnout didn't materialize, and his own campaign has recognized that.

i'm supporting wholeheartedly whoever wins the nomination. however, it's a bit of a tightrope walk no matter who gets it.

vs old and bloated dude with excess makeup

Skuj 03.05.2020 01:37 PM

I unignored everyone, started reading, became outraged, and started posting. I'm an idiot.

me, i can’t put myself in her shoes.

but the way the field was set up, bernie supporters would probably have expected her endorsement to consolidate their side.

the fact that this has not happened... is telling.

her supporters will now scatter. unlike what amy did for biden in minnesota (she hand-delivered it).

here is warren’s goodbye. it’s actually quite moving at the end:

if you can't see the diff, you're really needing an eye (or moral) exam

Could she be holding out for a VP invite?


I’m glad Skuj is back posting......truth is, he never went anywhere! I would like to see him contributing more in Non-Sonic Sounds.

beauregard, you might want to brush up on your vocabulary a little bit.

words like “detest” and “unrequited” might not make it into memes very often, but they’re worth learning regardless.

No need to brush up on vocabulary, I fully understand what Skuj is saying. I also understand he says such hateful things without offering any proof......just as you continue to do!

I’m sincerely glad Skuj is back. My desire to see him or any of you actively posting about music is for the good of SYG......I’ll continue to do my part!

I’ll also continue to turn the other cheek, refusing to lash out in anger or make it personal.

LOVE YA !@#$%!

what do you mean “proof.” proof that he detests you? like an affidavit, or an official oath or something?

i’m glad skuj is back too, but you drove him away.

and your humblebrag is lies. you’re not “turning the other cheek,” you’re just mooning people.

I’ve stated this multiple times in the TRUMP thread, guess I need to repeat it here.

A) if I’ve said anything racist, homophobic or hateful, please share it with the SYG moderators so they can address it.

B) please quote and reply and we can discuss it here

C) love you too, Skuj

You support a white supremacist. That's basically the definition of racism.

In addition to Barack Hussein Obama, but not Donald John Trump or Michael Richard Pence, or even Joseph Robinette Biden. There's something not quite white about why you've singled out one of these...
