I am going to attempt to stream it live on discord. If I have issues with it then we'll have to figure it out. 

Some people hate discord if so we'll keep the commentary to this thread. https://discord.com/invite/QQf4Kzed

You guys are welcome to join in on the discord server if you want. We don't have to agree with each other on stuff. We just have to respect each other

Nate Silver gives Trump a 66% chance of winning the Electoral College. Not that every statistician's hot take should be taken as gospel, and he could always be exaggerating to get clicks, but I think the odds are in Trump's favor.

One of the top replies is "Biden will win and it will not be remotely close," so it looks like social media users aren't entirely sold on Silver's polling methods. But his model is probably the best we have to go on at the moment.

Interestingly, we live in a timeline where Stephen King's election predictions get more engagement than Nate Silver's.

Thanks, but I don't give a shit about the US election. Both candidates are fucked. I am probably just going to swallow a few popcorns intermittently before going to do more fun stuff, such as [Redacted].

Yes it was, not as bad as I thought. Trumps performance was also kind of weak but at least he was coherent

Any had fu. Watching the debate with some people in discord. We ended up leaving the voice chat but it was enjoyable either way and a balanced discussion.

"Biden won"

The correct terminology is "America loses"

We all lose no matter what.

Yeah, I agree that you are smarter than both president candidates combined. How about you for president.

You really going to tell me I can't talk about Xi jinping after attacking 2 of America's leaders? 

Honestly I like Xi jinping oddly enough so I won't at least from what I have seen of him, but no way do I give a shit about your request after this to shut my mouth about China.

Thats probably a better idea than either of the two current candidates.

I dont see how could I possibly do worse even if I tried.

Eh, you have your right to shut up as well as not shutting up, and I have my right to not like when you talk about it just as you don't like when I talk about them.

Still doesn't override freedom of opinion though.
