    Toddler in chief runs crying to the supreme court as if it's his mommy.

    How did this ever get so close. Yeah, Biden is as exciting as wallpaper glue, but really. This Trump fuck just beggars belief.

    Dumb fucking animals trying to interfere with the vote counting in Detroit, even though dozens of their compatriots are already in the room "challenging" basically every single ballot:

    "One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."

    Mitch called for Biden, and I think Wisconsin would be too, but for a recount. Trump can still (legitimately) win but it's an increasingly narrow path, I'd say. Need some major upset in the west.

    Waiting to see the final popular vote tally is before I either say that this is a damning indictment of the Democratic party or the electoral college.
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

    Nope, Dems definitely didn't do well at the state level.

    We shouldn't be worrying about how 1% of the vote will go in a handful of states when Trump is on the ballot. It's disgraceful that this election was remotely close.

    Rioting and harassments of people as they dined really wasn't a good look for Democrats. Then you also have the reality that Trump campaigned far harder than Biden did.

    Lots of voter fraud claims being thrown around on social media - Hanlon’s Razor through typical government incompetence is the more likely case for discrepancies and dubious looking behavior. However... what if evidence comes to light of actual fraud? A poll worker caught throwing out a number of ballots for one side or another. Pro-active curing of ballots for one party but not the other by supposedly neutral poll workers. If caught it will likely still be impossible to know the full extent - what legal remedies would the courts consider in such a scenario?

    You guys have held up hundreds of thousands of ballots and tried to prevent them from being counted, not to mention basically implementing a poll tax to subvert the will of Florida voters, but sure, I guess what you're making sense from the head-up-your-ass perspective.

    Meanwhile, surprising evidence that US cops know how to not assault protesters:

    Only dumb fucks like you think that was representative of the Democrats. There were many dumb fucks like you who are harassing people at polling stations. More dumb fucks harassing the Biden bus. And even more dumb fucks spreading disease at rallies.

    Then you also have the reality that Trump campaigned far harder than Biden did.
    And the fact dumb fucks like you think he's a good thing.

    That's fantastic.

    I bet nobody thought that was particularly strange or special at the time. Now it seems completely alien.

    Global stock markets climb on prospect of Biden presidency

    I thought GOP were the party of the economy ...

    And Trump's voters vote for him in the main because they believe (truly or falsely) that the economy is better in his hands than a Dem candidate.

    Or is this a reflection of a global view that Trump is so completely dire that anyone but him, including a Dem candidate, is a boon to the markets?

    Markets like certainty and stability.

    A GOP Senate and Biden Presidency will provide a lot of stability in coming years.

    Yes, really. Like Obama's years or Bill Clinton's.

    Far more stable than the batshit crazy we've had of the past four years.

    "More stable" is not the same as "stable". If the GOP retains control of the Senate, they will do everything in their power to obstruct the Biden administration and the House, including sabotaging covid relief packages and the like. The policy implications are not predictable, and the situation can therefore not be described as "stable". Note, btw, that the "batshit crazy" of the past 4 years has been judged by the market as being quite excellent from a business perspective.

    I don't know if I should blame or pity Americans when I think about the presidents they choose.
    Congratulations America

    If Trump does take this shitshow to court, and judges find just -1- case of fraud or Something Not Done Properly, he wins the argument and he'll be victorious.

    I'm not sure what happens in terms of constitution and legal process, but I predict a clusterfuck on the scale the world has rarely seen.

    That's not how it works gogo.

    Each individual ballot would need to be challenged and struck off surely, not just en-masse like Trump wants.

    I'm largely ignorant about 'Merica, but I think my point still stands?

    If just 1 case is proven in a court, Trump wins.

    Wins how?

    Trump wins if he is inaugurated, Biden wins if he is. If 1 solitary vote is struck off that won't change the results.

    What is presently going on isn't about individual votes or even blocks of votes. It's an attempt on the legitimacy of the entire vote. We should not forget that the electors can be released from their obligation of voting upon the basis of the vote cast by the voters in their state. The judges only play a bit role in this circus,
    .
    Congratulations America

    By "wins" I means wins the argument, not the presidency. America will become even further divided than it currently is and almost 50%(?) of the electorate will see Biden as illegitimate.

    Trump can play the victim and victor. It's perfect for him.

    I must say I am shocked at the organizational clusterfuck the states are making are making of counting votes. I am sure there are all sorts of 'explanations' for it, but I don't see how this should be so completely chaotic.

    In an earlier job, I was confronted with a situation where over a million of people had to fill out a form and send it back so we could process the information provided. With a team of 5 temps I managed to get every single form processed. I imagine there are lot more counters available in this elections. Yet I see Georgia not being able to count 60,000 ballots left in a day.
    Congratulations America
