Hi folks.


User: DMBFFF/Some predictions for some of the 2020 elections (my MH wiki)


wp:2020 United States elections


1. On 20 January 2021, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the US.

2. Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin: Biden will win at least 3 of these states.

3. Trump will win Texas. He will get at least 5% more from the total of Texan votes than Biden because, among other things, Texas Republicans will be good at voter suppression.

4. Trump will win 2 or fewer votes at wp: Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.

5. wp:Jo Jorgensen will get at least 3.5 million votes and at least 2.5% of the popular vote.

6. If wp:Amy Barrett is confirmed by 3 November 2020, the GOP will lose its Senate majority.

7. If Barrett is confirmed by 3 November 2020, the combined proportions of the popular votes going to wp:Mitch McConnell, wp:Lindsey Graham, and wp:Susan Collins in their races will be less than 165%.

8. The Democrats will maintain their House majority.

9. By the end of 20 December 2020, of CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, BBC, Australian BC, and CBC, at least 7 will have declared Biden the winner.

10. The Electoral College will give Biden the majority.

11. At least 5 electors in the Electoral College will vote for neither Biden nor Trump.

12. If there is election or post-election violence between 18 October 2020 and 31 January 2021, far fewer than 1000 Americans and/or those in the US will die of it. (hopefully none)

13. If Trump loses, between 3 November 2020 and 20 January 2021, he will grant clemency (i.e. pardons, commutations, and reprieves) to at least 300 people, and at lest 80% of them will be white males over 50.

14. By 31 January 2021, the wp:FEC will report a +5% plurality of Biden over Trump.

15. By 21 January 2021, Trump will have exited the White House. (Of course he will complain and whine about it.)

16. The Liberals will win a majority in British Columbia, however slight. (wp:2020 British Columbia general election)
(Note: The British Columbia Liberal Party is considered center-right.)

17. The Saskatchewan Party will maintain its majority in Saskatchewan. (wp:2020 Saskatchewan general election)

18. wp:Jacinda Ardern's NZ Labour Party will either win a majority, or need fewer than 5 additional seats from non-Labour to support her to form the government. (such as, but not necessarily, the Green Party)

This looks like it's happening, perhaps happened, already. https://www.electionresults.govt.nz/

19. In the wp:2020 New Zealand cannabis referendum, at least 42.5% will vote Yes.

20. In the wp:2020 New Zealand euthanasia referendum the majority will vote Yes.

21. For 3 November 2020, CNN, world-o-meter and Wikipedia (e.g. wp:COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory) will list fewer than 12 million Americans with covid-19 and fewer than 300 000 dead.

22. Sadly, contrary to Trump's prediction, there will be no vaccine for covid-19 by 3 November 2020 (at least not one that's safe, effective, and affordable for +90% of Americans—say enough for over 400 million people costing less than $50 billion total).

23. By 20 January 2021 fewer than 20 million Americans will have had covid-19, and fewer than 400 000 will have died of it.

24. By 20 January 2021 fewer than 600 000 Canadians will have had covid-19, and fewer than 30 000 will have died of it.






If I don't reply within 36 hours of this post, I probably won't until 2021.

Until then, Happy elections, Thanksgiving, Samhain, Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas, and New Year.






wp:2016 United States presidential election#Results by state

states where the winner had a ≥30% plurality over 2nd place in 2016.

California—over 4 million
D.C.
Hawaii
Idaho
North Dakota
Oklahoma
West Virginia
Wyoming

If you vote for Biden in any of these states only for strategic reasons, you are probably throwing your vote away.

Vote your heart, or someone close(r) to it.

pretty good.

I live in the 4th most populated city in North America, I doubt I've worn a mask for more than 20 hours this year—social distancing is easy for me, and I got tested a few weeks ago. Results: negative.

I got my flu shot, and I intend to get my pneumonia shots—supposedly if one comes down with covid-19, such shots could reduce the chance of secondary infections making it worse. Top it off with (near) daily supplements of zinc and vitamin C.

I should get one of those N95 masks or the like, given that the germs might be suspended in the air.


Internet-wise:

Literotica banned me back in February—at least in the forums—for calling out the administrator and picking a fight with a particular Trumpster. She banned a number of people. I can still upload stories there though, but it'll be one of the last sites I will.

I might re-join several times with several alt accounts as their TOS doesn't seem to forbid it, even for ban evasions. At lot of the Trumpsters there don't seem to like their threads being moved into politics, where the leftists intellectuals hang out: the latter are like some of the folks here, though more ideological, and bare-fist the Trumpsters.

others briefly mention my banning here:

I'm now on LushStories:

There's far less traffic, but for now it suits me.

I haven't been on 4chan in months, and have little interest in 8kun.

I got banned from HipForums for calling out a German who I suspect is a Nazi—a few red flags with her. The funny thing is, on LushStories there's a German lady in the same region who is pretty cool. Kinda strange she uses "ist" and "und" for "is" and "and."

It was around the time I found Hitler, Felix Baumgartner (who's been talking a bit like a Nazi), George Takei, and Tito Puente all share the same birthday.

Another interesting fact: Bob Seger (who supported Clinton in 2016) was born 6 May 1945. The next day, the Nazis surrendered.

I've done over 10 000 edits in Wikicommons:

The first two I think are ambient electronic. Not quite MusicBanter quality per se, but a start for those trying to find alternatives to YouTube. (****ing YouTube sandbagging me!)


In addition to AO3 and FFN, as indicated, I got a Miraheze wiki going.

Sites for my porn, sites for my The Handmaids Tale fanfix—even though I still haven't read the book or seen a single Hulu episode—it looks stupid and depressing.

I might even try science fiction, but science has done a number on sci-fi.


I've been lurking MusicBanter from time to time, and I definitely intend to return next year.


I frickin' love your new avatar (as worthy as your past one is). u so kewl.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well, and that you appreciate my avatar! I'd say life is too short to try arguing with Trump supporters and general fascists on the internet, but if it doesn't get you down too much then go for it. Mad respect if you manage to change one of their minds.
Oh and I recommend the Handmaid's Tale, I haven't seen the series (yet) but I read the book a while ago. To make a fanficiton of it seems wildly inappropriate and disturbing though.
