US Politics

Michigan called for Biden.

This is all coming down to Nevada, amiright?!

Had a quick look and they have processed all in person votes and mail in received to-date and they only have the remaining mail votes to process.

Nevada's enough to clinch it but apparently won't update count until tomorrow morning (I assume their time), Georgia's now down to a gap of 57k with around 350k to count, could well be the decider.

Edit: Pennsylvania's following a similar trend to Georgia, but I haven't seen actual figures

Not really, other remaining states might be blue too, it’s starting to look like it might not be so close after all when done and dusted.

Still not a done deal. Latest betfair odds:

Biden: 1.07
Trump: 7.0

This is all coming down to Nevada, amiright?!

Any of the remaining states would do.

GA, NC and PA all have lots of postal votes to count (and various deadlines for them up to a week away). Some of them are also waiting for some districts to declare, mostly in metropolitan areas that generally favour Biden (compared to rural areas which favour Trump).

No chance with Alaska though.

Pennsylvania apparently getting tighter

I'm inclined to just keep refreshing his twitter page to see what else falls out:

Same

I'm just really curious to see what post-presidency Trump is going to be like.

humbled, i'm sure

Bankrupted once DB stop financing him
Jailed once his immunity has vanished
Marginalised once he no longer wields power and becomes just another fringe lunatic

One lives in hope...

When he says:

Our lawyers have asked for “meaningful access”, but what good does
that do? The damage has already been done

he knows it's game over.

Biden seems like the most centre-right of the democrats. From the era where they were all the same on both sides of the aisle.

If he doesn’t deliver, that will end the democrats. He has to be held accountable from day 1. Just because he is not Trump doesn’t make him a messiah.

Beyond racism, Americans clearly thought Obama didn’t deliver.

And destruction of Trump doesn’t bring anything productive to the table.

Bet Boris is shitting it too, And Modi.

Deliver what? They are all beyond help. A bit like brexiters they feel like masters of their own destiny and perpetual victims at the same time. It's just going to be another swing of radicalisation, now they can rage agains the "Socialists". Maybe he can calm down international relations
and the US can go back to doing it's dirty business a bit more discreet again.

Also maybe less Twitter in the news.

I dont think its fair to paint all Americans who voted republican; esp in 2016 with that brush.

The ‘they are all the same’ political fatigue is real esp with a candidate like Hillary and i would say more so with Biden. He has hardly announced any policies; he may win only because he is ‘not trump’. That’s dangerous in longer term for the left.

Biden isnt a magic bullet; another old white politician who should be held equally (if not more) accountable than Trump.

Are you trying to suggest Biden, in any way, represents "the left"?

Bet Boris is shitting it too, And Modi.

Out of those three stooges it’s Modi that has me most worried. He’s a bigger menace than Trump ever was.

In a two party system there sadly isn’t any place for “the left” these days.

This. Biden could just as easily be a republican.

but.... but some random republican skank told me biden was a socialist

Which is the same as being a communist
