If Biden wins by around 4.5-5m votes which seems to be the projection right now - doesn't that mean the polls were largely accurate, Florida aside?

There are still huge numbers of votes to be counted. CNN said 1.4 million in PA and they just showed that there are hundreds of thousands still to come in and around Detroit.

Biden can still win MI and WI and is probably still favourite to win GA and PA. If he brings those back around those 4 and gets to 300+ votes then the polls and predictions weren't far off. Everyone predicted that these votes were going to take time to count and that Trump was going to throw shit at the walls - why are people rushing to lose their shit over exactly that happening?
Biden has a slim chance. But favorite to win?
stop dreaming.
The margin in PA is huge. 670k votes, with 1.4M left to be counted. Biden needs 75% of those. He’s not winning PA or WI and MI is a toss up. He’s fecked and we are fecked. Trump will win.

America is fecking disgusting. Can’t believe I live here.
I will accept apologies in the form of Kenwood vouchers.

Honestly mate I don’t really understand how someone chooses to identify as African American.

A person of Jamaican-Indian descent putting ‘African’ as a designator would have no chance in the UK. We have strong and proud Caribbean/Sub-continent communities with a resolute sense of identity.

Completely different in America of course. You guys still call 3rd generation Americans ‘African American’. Despite the fact 50% of the country couldn’t point the place out on a globe or name more than 10 countries in that continent.
I am not even remotely qualified to give the why's of this, but I have heard interviews with her where she talks about it.

National polls were out by more than last time, and Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa (Selzer aside) were out by a long way. Arizona and Georgia were pretty good. Mixed bag really.

This is not even about Trump. Biden represents everything that is wrong with the left and liberals in general. The left is quick to criticize and cry foul on people who disagree with their ideologies but people from their camp do the same things and its no problem at all.
In modern history I don't think you could find anyone who's been a less suitable person to be the leader of a democratic superpower than Trump. I probably wouldn't chose Biden either if he stood in the UK because he'd be a Tory, but good grief, at least he's a proper politician and statesman.

Trump is a demagogue. That's dangerous and he needs to go, whatever your politics.

I’m sorry, when did Biden try to subvert democracy and undermine elections? You can cry all you want about the Democrats but at least their ideology is not fascism.

It's okay we'll take him over Trump. The people have spoken #bye

Trump should be dragged to the streets naked and pelted before he got hung drawn and quartered along with his cronies (politically off course)

He should be made example so that the next people attempting to pull some shits like this would think 100x

Conceeding is just a courtesy, even if he doesn't do it, he'll still lose the election provided there isn't a major fluke.

He is about to concede!
I hope he does for the sake of dampening any threats of ensuing violence, but a part of me hopes he doesn't just for the hilarity of watching him being dragged out of the Oval office kicking and screaming.
