I'm not sure, but I'm confident it's not going to be a significant issue.

Heavily leftward? That's hilarious. I'd say its middle of the road. Are you American or something?
“He separated kids from their families and out then in cages, he sent hot squad up to round up non whites, he worked with foreign governments etc etc etc.. but NOW he’s gone too far”
Brilliant.
He lost. Just as for every other Republican who is oozing out of the woodwork and suddenly finding their moral spine after 4+ years of defending the indefensible, that was the tipping point.
The centre looks awfully far away from the right.
British living in Amsterdam!
I'm just not comprehending how the denigration and attempted destruction of democracy, and the stochastic terrorism is worth the supposed benefits of Trump. There's a point that reasonable people should be able to step back and say "this is too much". That people don't think he got to that point is frankly a crushing reality.
How long do people estimate this will go on for? The excitement I had 4 days ago has gone and now I can’t even rejoice in Trump supporters tears
The electors will meet and certify December 14th.
They will have to carry him out in a straight jacket.
Yeah, it's like a good TV show that kept going on after the writers ran out of ideas: it's been fun but now the plot is meandering and you have the feeling they're just padding it now in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
If you claim not to distinguish between someone who has long been actively trying to destroy the pillars of democracy (describing the press/media as the enemy of the people, undermining confidence in the voting system, packing the judiciary with appointees, encouraging far-right, heavily armed militia etc etc), and someone who believes in democracy - and worse, to describe latter as more shit than the former - then I question your motives and good faith.
Been any major updates overnight? Surely they’re nearly finished counting now.
So Trump wants all the mail in vote counting stopped in the remaining swing states, but if they do he has lost, or have I got it wrong.
Under normal circumstances it would have been called long before. The AZ early call might be an excuse before but there’s zero reason not to call GA, PA and NV now. They are just all playing a game of chickens to see who call it first.
CNN just came in with a Key Race Alert - they're expecting it to be done by Easter.
Ah, the sunny optimism of youth.Biden's lead is down to 30k in Arizona, increased to roughly the same in Pennsylvania and he's 7k up in Georgia. Nevada counted a few votes and then stopped. They might count some more and report them tonight (European time).

So we need Biden to carry on building his lead in PA and that's it. Finish above a 0.5% margin and no recount. Finito.
GA is - rightfully - going to a recount, NV looks relatively settled and I'm still unsure how AZ plays out.

Rules for a new game:
1) Drink every time Chris Cuomo announces a Key Race Alert.
2) Drink again if there's no new information in said Key Race Alert.
3) Die horribly of alcohol poisoning

CNN is clearly struggling to not run out of things to talk about. I enjoyed the Fox News bashing though.
See, this is kind of why I have a hard time understanding how Fox News is still a thing. Even if you have zero information about US politics, or media landscape, or literally anything other than how to keep breathing so you don't suffocate out of sheer ignorance, watching him for two minutes should just ring alarm bells everywhere. How do you watch this and not struggle with a strong urge to call an ambulance for him?
They called Murdoch out yesterday in one of their rants.
Ask Corbyn supporters about that one!!
I think these last four years has been a case of most Republicans just taking advantage of the situation, ignoring and tolerating Trump, while getting GOP stuff done. Most of them hated him before the 2016 election, I don't think that changed over night, it's been an open secret that McConnel loathe the guy. They've enabled a dangerous man though, that might backfire and make Trumpism a massive force they have to deal with in the future.

Apologies if posted already. Can't keep up.
To Americans being MOR is tantamount to being a Trot
What's the alternative to retraining people who are out of jobs?
I saw that
Decision Desk HQ as called it at Biden 273 with Biden winning Pennsylvania. Yet MSNBC, CNN are scared to call it, in case it hurts Trumps feelings.
Is there any new network that likes Fox News and Murdoch. Even some of the Fox reporters must be thinking they are being made to look stupid.I saw that
I just hope Biden doesn't allow Hildogg anywhere near the new administration.
And they called it when Biden was 10k up in PA. Now he's close to 30k...
It‘s tactical and I agree with them in this case. Trump is desperate for them to call it so he can try to use their own arguments against him and say “WHAT? NOT ALL VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED YET SO HOW CAN YOU CALL IT?”. Usually a candidate would have conceded by now but that’s not going to happen here so they are going to wait until it’s mathematically impossible and not give Trump the satisfaction.
If you sign up with Fox it’s kind of expected that you’ll lean far more to the right. They’ve been making stupid remarks for years. All that Trump has done is damage the cred of reasonable Republicans. Fox will soon be back on the train of blaming Democrats for all society’s illsIs there any new network that likes Fox News and Murdoch.

Exactly. No need to really hold back now.
