POLITICUS USA: Trump Hit With Thanksgiving Surprise As Green Party Files For Recount In WI, MI, and PA

1.4 million dollars now.

1.8 million

2.2 million

The more I read about this, I don't put much stock in it. Moveon.org supports it but says the electoral results are "unlikely to change." I hope it's not just Crazy Jill selling more snake oil to easily disillusioned millennials.

Given how wrong Nate Silver was about this election, I'm not sure his opinion means a whole lot anymore.

That being said, I agree that nothing is likely to change as a result of all this. Nevertheless, if there was ever going to be a year for something bizarre to happen, this would be it.

PalJoey said: "

Poll-averaging the 11 Pennsylvania polls that ended 10/30 and 11/1, Clinton is ahead by 4/4 points, with the lowest being +2 and the highest being +11. It would be statistically impossible for him to take Pennsylvania.

And according to this Politico poll, there's not going to be any Brexit effect or Bradley effect or "Shy Trump Voter effect" either:


POLITICO: Poll: 'Shy Trump' voters are a mirage: A new study suggests an army of hidden Trump supporters is unlikely to materialize on Election Day



To be fair, PalJoey isnt the only one who was dead wrong. Looks like the Brexit effect or Populist Movement, is to quote the Orange Man, Huuuuge. The Ruling Class needs to wake up

Not only did Trump take The United States (and Pennsylvania that was supposed to be impossible) but in a shocking event French President Hollande will be the latest Domino. First time in Modern French History a President did not try reelection.

NYTIMES
STRASBOURG, France — Battered by months of dismal approval ratings and a stubbornly high unemployment rate, President François Hollande of France announced Thursday night that he would not compete in next year’s election.

The unprecedented decision opened up and energized France’s presidential race even as it added further turmoil to the country’s unsettled politics. It also injected new uncertainty into the political dynamic of Europe as far-right and populist forces are gaining strength across the Continent, as well as in the United States.

Thank God Austria rejected this "Populism" which is just the same old totalitarian suppression of alternative ideas and a pluralist society. It doesn't engage the "populace" at all, just the stupidest element of it, the frightened mob that is looking for a scapegoat, which can be Jews, gypsies, Catholics, communists, immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims--the group doesn't matter as long as the "populist" leader can depict that group as the villain and the group to punish.

People like Petra/Suestorm flock to the tyranny of "populism," because by nature, Ukrainians enjoy totalitarian rule, whether it is submitting to it under the Nazis, submitting to it under the Communists or submitting to it under Putin.

When suffering under the yolk of "populism," Ukrainians like Petra/Suestorm attack the most vulnerable group. Back during World War Two, the Ukrainians of Petra/Suestorm's parents' and grandparents' generation took out their frustration by rounding up and helping the German's kill over 2 million Jews, many of them simply shot and killed by the Einsatzgruppen and local Ukrainian supporters in various regions of Ukraine.

So beware of people extolling the virtues of "populism"...especially when those people are Eastern European.

The Global Wave of Populism That Turned 2016 Upside Down

By Adam Taylor

The core of populism is a concerted anti-establishment posture: It's us (“the people) vs. them (“the establishment). A distrust of the elite and pandering to the masses has been around before 2016, of course.

...

Even after this bumper year, there is plenty of room for populism to spread. Next year, there are major elections in France, Germany and Holland, where it is probable that populist-leaning parties or candidates will do well, although they are unlikely to form governments. The political crises in Britain, Italy and South Korea will no doubt continue.

I see you did not read the article I post above from that bias Republican rag THE WASHINGTON POST

Populism is the exact opposite. Its is the POPULISTS,the population, the masses. First Brexit, then America and now, soon the rest of Europe. What was called the sans-culottes in France during that other Revolution in 1792 when they revolted against the Royal and Noble Elites including Louis XVI and his Austrian Wife Marie-Antoinette and brought freedom to the masses, farmers and uneducated
