@Mikael89 ABC News. MSNBC and CBS. I'm following all right now. Don't follow fox news. Fox News spread the bs about Arizona. -

@Hardkill@.. It's too early to call. @Keyhole @Mikael89 okay so this is the latest electoral live. Biden needs very few to victory. -

@Mikael89 yea I checked again. There has been a discrepancy in the reporting of Arizona. It seems that the first bucket favored Biden. But the second bucket favors Trump. This video explains it. It's tight in Arizona. Can't really tell. But Biden doesn't need much for victory. -

@Hardkill he won Arizona. But there has been a problem of sharpies in Arizona. It seems now that it has been resolved. By the Arizona agency. -

The problem with the whole freedom of speech situation is that most people use freedom of speech or rather are quick to misuse it for hate speech, racism, propaganda and offending people for innocuous reasons, it's rarely ever freedom of speech for promoting healthy values. In reality you will see trolls and bullies on the internet insulting and offending people on purpose and then using freedom of speech as an excuse. Case in point. Milo Yiannopoulos He called a black Hollywood actor a chimpanzee or something like that and insulted her publicly on social media and then his fans in large numbers attacked her relentlessly and bullied her. Later when interviewed about this incident, Milo defended it by saying that it was his right to freedom of speech. Incidents like this remind people that often freedom of speech becomes or is used as a license to abuse people and get away with bad behavior. I think this is the reason that when anyone talks about freedom of speech, they're never taken seriously. First resolve the root problem of the abuse of freedom of speech. After that have a discussion on how freedom of speech can be used safely to not cause any mental or physical harm to vulnerable groups. That's when people will rethink freedom of speech and take it for what it's worth. -

So you mean people who get insulted for their skin color should change their skin color? -

Biggest lie. But I'm not going to waste my time in arguments. People who are more conscious understand what Modi is all about. -

Most spiritual gurus in India are very friendly with Modi who is a tyrant type of nationalist just like Trump. Says a lot about their spirituality. They are what they are but people like to see them as saints. It's all about spiritual ego gloating -

Most Hindus act like they have discovered God. Nothing new. They act like they have some kind of a religious and spiritual authority in the world. It's BS. That's why I left Hinduism. Exactly. This -

@Keyhole Trump at this point is so desperate that I am imagining that he would sit on a chair in every state won by Biden and start counting the votes himself and wherever its written Biden, he will scratch it out and scribble Trump with bright red Sharpie and he won't even bother to read the names and simply count the number of ballots and say its all Trump. I created a couple of funny memes lmao. They turned out perfect lol. Enjoy -
@Frylock hahaha. This need to be shown to all the Trumpists who think Trump created many many many jobs. The surge in job creation generally happened when a Democrat like Clinton or Obama was in power. Under Democrats, American economy does really well. You should watch Biden Economic Speech in Scranton Pennsylvania. The best speech ever by a Presidential nominee. I think that's why he won Michigan

@Jodistrict you don't live in India. You wouldn't know how it works here when it comes to the spiritual masters and politics. Those are all hollow words. I don't know much about the Dalai since he has not much to do with our political scene although he lives very close. But I'm talking about Indian gurus. Some of them act like Republicans. -

Gary Peters wins in Michigan. Very good news. Trump was constantly bullying him to lose. Michigan is the one state that has turned out so beautiful during this election both on the senate and the presidential level. Go Michigan. You made everyone proud. Biden already won the rust belt state of Michigan and now he needs to win other rust belt states. The counting for Nevada will start much later because they seem to have deferred the counting. Biden only needs one sun belt state of Nevada and it will be victory. Meanwhile all eyes are on Georgia. -

This is what comes to my mind. Many of these enlightened so called masters in india who are into Hinduism and Buddhism but they don't even understand the meaning of love. I don't consider enlightened. They are slightly better than the rest because they tend to know certain truths. But the highest truth is love. In my opinion spirituality is a direct experience. Not just sitting somewhere and meditating. And I hate the lecturing type of Indian gurus who act like they know it all and know better than everyone. I don't see it as humility or understanding but ego gratification by use of spiritual language and lifestyle. There is a time honored tradition in India and many other Asian countries that anyone who is revered as spiritual or Holy especially if he is a male, is automatically put on a pedestal and blindly worshipped by millions of the population almost likening the person to a God status. I hate such crap because that person is just human. In fact these so called spiritualists and meditators also meddle into mainstream politics just like Stage Blue Christians interfere in politics in America and people there simply favor a candidate because of his religious affiliation, example Ted Cruz (Republicans always have been riding high on religion in America) I don't believe in such nonsense. A sane normal individual on the street with love and humility in his heart is a 1000 times better than a Meditator who does not understand basic reality. Maybe Indians can learn a lot from the passage in Corinthians. Paul said to Corinthians . If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ... If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing. "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." -

@How to be wise no we don't need blue. Maybe healthy blue in a certain proportion but most of the Blue in India is unhealthy blue and very old generation type traditional authoritarian blue with no respect for modernism and a disdain for progressivism. Even people Falling in love is looked down in India. How backward can a country be in comparison to the world? All the spiritual teachers in India say big big platitudes about spiritual growth and what not, yet the society still thinks in old ways (often patriarchal chauvinistic misogynistic ways) and that needs to change. Many of these people might vote for Trump because they are so enmeshed in their old beliefs that are not helpful for growth. They can't even understand that God is love and love is God. They follow a system of rules lacking real empathy but full of nice sounding spiritual platitudes. Enough of that. This is so true. Totally agree with this and I'm sometimes fed up with the toxic blue in my country. I wish my country was more Green but that might take 100s of years. Maybe if America goes full Green other countries will at least copy America like they have always been doing. For example, the metoo movement was copied in India for some time and there was great outrage, it couldn't last long and was squashed by the public. It will take decades to up root the deep misogynistic fascist chauvinistic patriarchal mindset in India. Don't even know if it will ever happen because it's so deep. -

@r0ckyreed thank goodness he is going away for Good. He is more dangerous than any cult leader in the history of humanity and I feel for the people who suffered terribly because of his poor decisions. -

Just waiting for Nevada to completely flip. That's all that is needed now, Nevada. PA not so sure and I don't want to rely on PA. All eyes on Nevada -
Why does it matter? The economy will do great under a democrat. The American economy needs major healing from all the damage that Trump has done to it throughout this year

There will be some sort of unrest due to dissatisfied Trump voters but I don't think it will last long. Within that period, you have Biden with his lawyers and things will be settled easily. So Trump will have no further chance of contest once matters are handled legally. In that case, many voters and supporters might just have to relent and accept the defeat of their leader. I guess maybe a month, this November month will be a drama month. I see peace in December. It will be nice and a peaceful transfer of power in January. At least some healing from the chaos of this entire year.
