Seems the stock market is not seeing the Democratic rally they were calling for and they know everything.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Got a Big Social Media Boost from Indian Troll Farms

BY SIDDHARTHYA ROY, ZENGER NEWS ON 11/02/20 AT 12:30 PM EST

Biden's Twitter account got a sizable boost beginning in August from tens of thousands of fake followers purchased on the open market from troll farms in rural India, an investigation has found.

Within two weeks of Biden selecting Kamala Harris as his running mate on August 12, his Twitter following jumped by 738,595 new followers—a 9.1 percent leap. The number hit 11 million by the third week of October.


A close examination has revealed unusual patterns. A large number of Twitter accounts that followed Biden's appear to have been created exclusively for that purpose. And a large number of the users are located in small towns in rural India—in places where English-speakers are rare, and from handles run by people who don't speak English as their first language, nor appear to be genuinely invested in American politics.

Newsweek

A Zenger News investigation reveals that Biden's increasing social media footprint in India came from the country's infamous troll farms boosting his candidacy.

Kamala Harris's ethic heritage is in part rooted in India, but her share of Indian and apparently Indian followers is far lower, about 0.12 percent.

Some of the operators who worked on the campaign spoke at length about how propaganda agencies in New Delhi and Mumbai activated a widely distributed troll network to amplify Biden's campaign impact on Twitter.

In discussions over the Telegram app, Harshit Patel and Yajpal Yadav discussed the part they played.

Patel runs a small cybercafé near the railway station at Umbergaon, a small town four hours north of Mumbai near the Maharashtra-Gujarat interstate border. From 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, he scans IDs of customers and allots them a PC for twenty rupees an hour. On the side, he and his Photoshop-savvy wife Sejal make photocopies, print ID cards, do small design jobs and offer lamination services.

How many skeletons in Bernie Sanders closet that the Dems chose Biden over him?
the dems chose the candidate that they thought had a better chance at winning.

Question to add: so if Trump calls all votes wrong or invalid, that makes ALL votes wrong and invalid, does it not? Including those for Republicans, even those who won?

I mean, if there are ballots that were done wrong, all of it was done wrong not just the 'president' part.

Donald Trump's malignant spell could soon be broken

Joe Biden has swept the popular vote, and is on the verge of claiming the electoral college. It’s a momentous achievement


Barring a twist inconceivable even by the standards of 2020, we will soon know the result of the US presidential election – and it will almost certainly be a cause for rejoicing. Donald Trump, the man who has haunted the world’s dreams and sparked a thousand nightmares, has all but lost. On 20 January 2021, he will probably leave the White House – or be removed if necessary. The Trump presidency, a shameful chapter in the history of the republic, will soon be over.

True, it is taking longer than we might have liked. There was to be no swift moment of euphoria and elation, an unambiguous landslide announced on election night with a drumroll and fireworks display. Instead, thanks to a pandemic that meant two in three Democrats voted by slower-to-count mail-in ballots, it’s set to be a win in increments, a verdict delivered in slow motion. Nor was there the hoped-for “blue wave” that might have carried the Democrats to a majority in the US Senate (though there is, just, a way that could yet happen). As a result, it will be hard for Joe Biden to do what so urgently needs to be done, whether that’s tackling the climate crisis, racial injustice, economic inequality, America’s parlous infrastructure or its dysfunctional and vulnerable electoral machinery. And it is glumly true that even if Trump is banished from the Oval Office, Trumpism will live on in the United States.

They have on video now hundreds of pollster filling in ballots in PA.
I wasn't making a joke, it's standard operating procedure for Dems. Dems didn't do as much of it in '16 cuz the smartest woman in the werld was their candidate and she was going to win without having to cheat. The Dems weren't gonna risk that again.

To be honest I'm shocked actually that Biden won.

I didn't think it'd actually happen.

Now we wait and see if Trump barricades himself like was mentioned he might and refuse to leave, or he grows up just a little to leave on his own.
