Here are the Best Sites to Follow for US Election Coverage

here to second twitter. i follow certain reporters on there and hear stories i'd never, ever hear on say, MSNBC, or CNN, or fox for that matter.

i'm not a trumper, i'm not a fox fan, but personally i find the coverage on the main networks a little...barren. void of certain types of content, for the most part. like it's good quality for facts on big events, if you follow MSNBC (or basically any mainstream network but fox and the ones that are even crazier).

except...i don't see them reporting much on say, the use of federal unmarked "police" in portland and philly, or the proud boys's behavior pre-trump-mention, or the camps for the hispanic migrants after the separation policy reversal...

sorry, my politics are showing...but twitter is generally a good source. just gotta verify what you see, and not trust random accounts posting random shit. most of the time you'll find a local paper (bless them) or a national outlet that mentions and buries the story in question in a ton of other crap.

mind you, i don't think it's necessarily malicious. i think it's just a glut of information. we have more information than the networks know what to do with.

but i digress. on that note, anyone have any over-the-counter recommendations for high blood pressure? 😅

oh my! you opened a can of worms as I’ve watched this like a hawk for the past…idk, year? My watch:
: both podcast and site result. Trump still has a 1 in 10 chance, which is not insignificant. Worse than rolling a die but better than chance of rain in LA. and it does rain there. I always listen to Clare Malone.
Election Project () by Michael Mcdonald. So far, 97M have voted, which is over 70% of total turnout in 2016. Remember, most people vote on election day (in a typical election). Even consider covid impact, this is huge.
NPR politics Podcast & NPR everything: great coverage of the race.
I hate twitter. don’t look at twitter for pointers. If you look for hyperboles, go there.
I also don’t watch cable news. But for a good laugh, SNL does amazing election coverage, which is available via youtube or youtube tv as well for millennials like me who don’t have cable news.

forget one more site:
vote save america: unapologetically partisan and none of that bothsidism bullshit that big platforms like twitter and facebook have to pander to.

I honestly don't mind sources like CNN. It's a little bit of a give-and-take though. On one hand, you get access to information as it happens which is better than sifting through all the noise online. But on the other hand, a lot of the takes are just way too vanilla and biased as they pander to the middle-left.

So I like the info but don't necessarily pay attention to the analysis.

 This tweet appears to be pro-creationist. 17% of the US population believes in this theory. <learn more>         

Nice quote. It would be nice if people would invest more time objectively weighing the good and the bad in things. It could be a simple point system if you want to tally it up. It could be sort of like the Good Place.

• Says something racist -1000 points
• Says something sexist -1000 points
• Denies science -500 points
• Helps workers relying on fracking for income +100 points
• Negative side effects of promoting fracking -300 points

In the end, I think people would come up with very different numbers based on their personal assessments of how important things are. I'm just blown away that people think the President is free to do whatever the hell he wants as long as he promises to be good for the economy.
