If you're not going to call it, resume your regularly scheduled programming and break in with update

Three full days of micro analysis is not needed nor necessary. There is a pandemic raging still, so let's talk about that for a while.

This is straight absurd.

The networks had no problem calling for Trump with much smaller margins over Hillary.

This is all about being terrified of Trump and the RW mob.

Other news has happened in the world, especially the pandemic as you say. This is just fodder for Trump to keep on claiming fraud.

The problem is that there is nothing else to talk about.

You can only say so much. Analyzing a relatively stagnant situation adds no value. I’m not even sure what the thresholds are for calling it anymore. Used to be when the percentages were in the 90s of votes counted, that was more than enough. If we’re waiting for 100% everywhere, we’re looking at next week.

Fuck that.

This is like Groundhog Day.

Start talking about that unless there is a voting update. This is annoying.

MSNBC just spent 30 seconds on it, with a black and white line graph. No good.
