Want an easy guide outlining what it will take for Biden to win the election?

1. He has to hold every state that Hillary won, which shouldn't be hard.

2. He needs to win Wisconsin and Michigan, and split Nebraska, which all polls have indicated all year, and which both campaigns seem to concede.

3. He then needs to win one of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida or North Carolina. Trump would have to sweep them to win.

4. Wildcard pickups could be Texas, Georgia, Iowa, or Ohio. Everything outlined in 1-3 is with the assumption that he loses them.

He said the secret part out loud- to remain in power, they need to make it harder for their opposition to vote, and harder the better. They wouldn't tolerate that from Democrats, and they'd be right.

Defense mechanism list

I have a feeling one would go crazy memorizing this list and continuously analyzing one's own behavior. Don't psychologists have a high suicide rate?
