Seems like this is the time for a 3rd party to emerge.[/quote]

Now that I can agree with!

If you look at the increase in undeclared, it seems the evidence supports this position.

The New Bull-Moose Party.

Actually I don’t feel a strong need to belong to any group. I’m perfectly happy evaluating the individual and not the party.

[quote=flyer]Voted for the lesser of the two evils, so we’ll see how it goes.

Other than not having to listen to the ramblings of our current president, and a possibly better COVID response, sadly–very few voters lives will change for the better in any meaningful way–especially with a Congress, and a country still so divided. The rich will continue to get richer, the poor will get poorer, and I don’t think that is going to change any time soon.[/quote]

Let’s see. We’ll have a president that condemns white supremacists. We’ll have a president who takes COVID seriously. We’ll have a president who doesn’t lie in every speech he gives. We’ll have a president who doesn’t separate us into blue states and red states. And we’ll have a president who doesn’t think he’s trying to “put your husbands back to work” but instead chooses a female Vice President.

I think it is quite a distance – perhaps here to the moon? – from choosing the lesser of two evils.

[quote=sdduuuude][quote=svelte] You lost.[/quote]

You seem to have mistaken me for a Trump fan.[/quote]

You talk like a Trump fan.

Yes, but you don’t have that. The data seemed to come in low level within a county. And, as presented, Trump and the third and fourth and even fifth place followed Benford’s Law.

So the race was close and Trump’s numbers followed Benford’s law but Biden’s didn’t, in the data I saw.

After some reading, it seems that using the second digit avoids the problem you mention.

See – it is interesting, ya ?[/quote]

You’re cruisin’ for a bannin’.

As I said, this is my moment. This is where I choose to make a stand.

If the lifted 4×4 crowd decides to overrule the American people, we’ll take it to the limit. You lost. Put on your big boy pants.

Thank you Rich.

I’m honestly quite confused. How did we get here as a society, where we have a significant part of our society buying into conspiracy theories? Do they honestly believe that multiple states were infiltrated? My god, how much damage has this president done?

Can you imagine the pandemonium in this country if the courts invalidated the voters in five states to award the presidency to Trump? Citizens would come unglued. There could possibly be no more United States. There has been no point in my lifetime where I felt I had to stand up and risk all for what is right. If the courts overrule voters on this election – that would be my moment.

I do not support all democrats policies the same way that I don’t support all republicans policies that is why I am independent. But this election, I voted to remove hate, narcissism and lack of compassion from the White House and Biden was the best choice. Additional bonus to have a woman with diverse ethnic background and most importantly with strong qualifications be a VicePresident.

I lived in a country where a corrupt narcist president also lost a reelection race and he just didn’t show on to the change of command ceremony. It wouldn’t surprised me that it will happen in this case too.

Totally with you here. I’ve never registered Democrat or Republican – or any other party – in my entire life, but this election was about so much more. So much more.

I think Biden will do exactly what he said he will do and be a compassionate, understanding leader who will reach out to both sides.

And I’m over the moon about a female VP!

I did tweak the main stucco color which I think will be better but they agreed to the 3 colors I wanted. My gray and blue! [/quote]

Congrats to you! I was pulling for you!

[quote=sdduuuude]I suspect his inability to lose gracefully is going to end up being worse than anything he has said or done in the past. Although – check out my next post on Benford’s law. Maybe some fraud is going on.
.[/quote]

So your theory is what – that a Democrat gave a false total as the result from each precinct and that’s why it doesn’t conform to “Benford’s Law”? Because, you’d think that if they had fed fake ballots through the system, that would have conformed to Benford’s Law and ended up with a 1 in the first digit most of the time.

Not buying it.

Also kinda looks like someone handpicked a small set of precincts to show.

I’m OK with most presidents.

The one who is just wrapping up his term was so so so terrible that anything at all will be better than what we have. Horrendous.

[quote=sdrealtor]But timing is everything. There will always be cycles and making your timing bets correctly is what determines winners and losers. In 2003 it was obvious we were in a housing bubble but the biggest gains came after in 04/05.If you sold a year or two early you missed out big time[/quote]

Yep.

Simply saying that the stock market is gonna crash really isn’t a prediction. If you look back over 100 years, there have been many spikes up and spikes down. We all know that it will happen again.

To really be making an insightful prediction, one would need to add a time frame “in the next 6 months…”

[quote=plm]But wow for the stock market. Thought being a long term holder could be a mistake when the tech stocks took a dive last couple of months but to come back in just 2 days. Wow! [/quote]

It is amazing.

Thought it has confused me for years, I think I finally have a good theory as to why the stock market seems to rise right after a prez election, whether a dem or rep wins.

The uncertainty has been removed – stock buyers can theorize on which types of stocks will rise under the new administration and they get right to the task of buying those types of stocks.

Most of the props are going my way
except
14 Medical Bonds (I voted no)
15 Prop Tax Chg (I voted yes)
22 Uber (I voted no)
24 Consumer Privacy (I voted no)

And to tell you the truth, I didn’t care about any of those all that much so I’m fine with it.

one of my favorite one-panel comics shows a man sitting in a dark room with the glow of the computer reflecting on his face. His wife in pajamas pokes her head in the doorway.

He says “I’ll come to bed in a half hour honey, first I’ve got to correct something someone said on the internet.”

[quote=Coronita]
But more importantly, I voted no for almost every single proposition. Especially Prop 16…..[/quote]

I did the same thing. Actually I’ve done so the last few elections…no, no, no, no, no…

Usually one or two yeses but almost all no.

And I voted no on 16 also.
