Doubling down on my assanine-10-11 (borrowing from Stephen A Smith)...
I got grilled like a cheap round steak in my last thread about Joe being our President-elect.
Others had also written threads about Joe winning this thing.
We all got lambasted for our early predictions.
My thread may have deserved its roasting by fellow DUers but also had its share of supporters. DUers are beyond excited to see Joe win. There is a genuine feeling of how we need a Biden victory to restore our democracy, while also a boat-load of political experience from fellow DUers who have watched politics closely for their lifetimes.
I blame it on my mother, and also thank her. I was born in 1970. At the ripe old age of 9, she made me go trick-or-treating with her while she was dressed up as Jimmy Carter, complete with a Ronald Who? sign hanging from her back. Full suit etc with a rubber Carter mask.
I had no interest in politics at age 9. But something about that evening changed me, forever.
The weird responses that Mom and I endured that evening opened my eyes. I became a political nerd. At age 9.
Because of that evening, I became a political nerd. I became a political-poll watcher. I became an election night trend watcher. I soon learned that Dem-leaning, high-populace precincts are typically the slowest to issue their final tallies.
Everything about this election is trending towards a Biden victory.
That's why myself and many others made premature calls for Biden's victory.
I'm doubling down. Biden is our President-elect.
But also, let's count every ballot. Then we can truly honor Joe for being #46.
Be happy. Please understand, I'm trying to cheer up DU from the shit-show that this election cycle has become.
Joe and all of us will prevail!
