The difference is that most Americans don't know it either."near"They have like 200 miles of land border with each other. If Charles Barkley posted about how he's surprised the Netherlands are near Belgium all hell would break loose.
I may have to move to Washtenaw after this.Come on Michigan. Good to see my good old Washtenaw county overwhelmingly elect Biden. My ex-boss surely won't be happy
There was a hope for a resounding victory that might provide a basis for sweeping away the shitstain that was Trump's presidency. Instead we had a president say that counting votes is stealing an election if rump is already winning. So yeah.
Democrats are self-loathing all throughout the internet. I have a black slanted forum writing dissertations even with Joe on track.
Yeah Arsenal those perennial relegation dodgers
Well one problem is winning this might be a poisoned chalice, whoever wins has to deal with a huge number of problems created by covid
I think he lost the idea that Trump's support was a very vocal minority and that Biden was going to run it.
Ye, fair enough.The difference is that most Americans don't know it either.
I fell asleep on the sofa at 5am and was awoken by my son at 6 coming downstairs to see why the TV was on. Feel terrible. Hardly done any work today as cant turn away.
I love Detroit.
Biden leading Michigan now, its game over for Trump.
Squeaky bum time
Surely the equivalent would be not knowing that NSW and Victoria are near each other. Or in the UK, not knowing Rutland is near Leicestershire."near"
Biden pulling clear now in MI. 18k currently.
don't you dare Ron Swanson me.
but seriously, I'm terrified of a Trump win, you just can't deny it's entertaining as feck watching it play out, in a squeaky bum time way.
There is a feeling many Democrats had that they wanted a landslide a huge repudiation of Trump and the racism and the negativity. But this is closer than people thought and that’s depressing.
Is Biden winning?
No. Michigan and Wisconsin are actually relevant.
18k ahead in MI..
If Michigan stays blue its over
So Biden, who has broken the record for most votes ever received by a candidate for a US Presidential Election might still not be President.
Absolutely bonkers!
Absolutely bonkers!
Attention seeking gimp.
Whatever ends up happening here, this doesn't bode well for America. I genuinely did think they were sort of "bouncing back", but if not even 4 years of obvious racism, misogyny, a lack of concern for human life and an authoritarian right-wing agenda has convinced more Americans that Trump needs to go.... well, America is fecked, and Americans are to blame.

Is it time to pop the champagne?
“Soul of the nation” type stuff.
Basically the question “how after all this are there still this many Americans who think Trump is the right choice?”
I went to bed last night feeling nervous as feck yet optimistic. Woke up at 7 and was totally deflated before the day had even began. Since then it's certainly been a ride. I just hope WI and MI declare before the end of the day to help settle the nerves that remain.
I think you will have a fair few more memorable elections.
American politics right now has a very similar feel to the mid 19th century. Intense division (North/South -> urban/rural), single issue dividing society/stoking violence (slavery/culture war), disregard of norms/violent rhetoric/violence from elected officials (Civil War era Democrats/current Republicans).
My prediction is political violence will sooner or later become the norm, similar to bloody Kansas, and you guys are in for a couple of very rough decades, even if it doesn’t come to a full blown civil war, since there’s no clear geographical division between the two sides.
I’ll admit, it is great theater. I just hate the EC system.
If Biden wins, fair enough, but it is says a lot that Biden will have a squeeze out a win despite the last 4 years
Biden(238) + WI(10) + MI(16) + NV(6) = 270
Trump(213) + PA(20) + NC(15) + GA(16) + AK(3) + 1 vote in Maine which is lean Red = 268
PA and GA can still flip.

FT a little behind the times.

The state of this. Of course Johnny Rotten that noted anti establishment voice is now a Trump supporter.

Only people with wool over their eyes lost something.
If you know anything about US history, you been knew what it was.
Nevada is a bit of a worry, otherwise should be in the bag.
What's with AZ, when will those results be official ? AP already gave that state to Biden..
already on my third bottle mate. Working from home is the best!
Didn't even know there was an election going on til I popped the third one.
