I would not be surprised if some kind of crazy situation happened.

I don't think Trump will do anything of the sorts, I hope not
and even if he is thinking about doing it i really think that Trump will lose heavily
That's the beauty of the electoral college, he won't retain the swing states
And, if Biden wins by a landslide the Republican party wont back Trump
unless they dont care if they ever win an election again

I would be relieved that Trump's plans to steal the election had failed and that the right wing attempts to overthrow democracy in the USA had been mildly delayed. I would then reflect on the fact that one President who was clearly guilty of sexual assault had been replaced by another who is clearly guilty of the same.

Hope you are right. However it really does feel like America is sleepwalking into a complete shitshow, as if this is normal politics.

is so hard to see that from Argentina
I mean, the press doesn't like him at all, but there's not a hint in the papers saying he might try to perpetuate in power or to make election fraud

Once this Supreme Court nomination gets confirmed that will be it for the election. The AG and the SC will be in Trump's control with the Post Office in disarray and with Homeland security jackboots on the ground there will be nothing left to chance. This all with Russia pulling the strings behind the curtain Joe Biden has no hope. After the election democracy will be over in the US.

i don’t see Trump wining. I see a lot of democrats that didn’t vote last time because they thought it wasn’t necessary doing it this time
I don’t see anyone that voted last time for the democrats giving his vote to Trump, because he did all they feared he will
And I see a lot of Trump’s voters regretting it and voting for Biden this time

I think there a fair few people who hated Clinton but either voted for her or voted third party that will vote Trump this time. Americans like winners. Trump won.

I hope you are right. I just dont think Biden has the charisma to attract the voters needed to get rid of the orange buffoon. As the election gets closer Republicans have typically become more energised, for example the Dems always start well because they do better with postal voting but the Republicans are better at getting their voters energised on election day.

Why would anyone celebrate senile creep winning? On left side we have career politician who definitely has many screws loose and a chick that banged 30 year older dude for some powa (dude was married at the time but to be fair the marriage was over), loves to keep people in prison and does very unethical sh1t to keep her "record" as a prosecutor. On the right side you got a crazy guy who loves to grab chicks by the pussy. Conservatives love him, although guy had like 3 divorces and countless of failed businesses. Bangs pornstards / overpriced prostitutes. His running mate is a religious fanatic who can't be left alone with a woman that isn't his wife. America is f**ked. Truly f**ked. We are witnessing fall of an empire and I just hope this fall doesn't cause a major war. I live in USA and I am scared. This place is a mess.

Locally I voted democrat before age 30, voted republican after 30. Why? Because I am tired of my taxes going up. Taxing more doesn't solve problems. Democrats have "nice" ideas but after Obama's bs I've learned that the changes are for those that fly high, not for us walking on the ground.

Please educate yourself on tax rates and presidents historically in this country - as well as the size of the federal budget and deficit. And don't forget taxes are but one part of the cost of living.

Tax does however often pay for solutions. Like universal health care for example.

Biden may not be your idea of a great President but I can't think of a worse choice than Trump, no matter your politics. He has turned your country into a laughing stock.

I said how I voted locally and why. What presidents have to do with it? Federal tax is one tax. I do understand it ain't gonna change with Biden for people making under 400k however when Obama got in the office business related taxes hiked up.
Every time a dem wins for a mayor of my town, property taxes go up. Do the school teachers get a raise? Nah, but there is always a new program with new people on the payroll and program never ends and taxes never go down.
I mean why am I even arguing here - I hate the goverment regardless who is running it. Useless nowadays .

Don't know why people keep making this a thing. You're only encouraging Trump and his supporters to actually believe this is possible by accepting such a ridiculous act.

Biden's not even that good of a candidate, his opponent is just that terrible.

It would be like replacing Fat Barry in your Sunday league team with Jessie Lingard.

Relief that Trump is out, but Biden is seriously unimpressive at this point in time.

It will be anti-climactic since there may not be a winner on election night. If it happens, it will happen gradually over the span of days once all the mail votes are counted.
Gonna be a trip waiting to see how GOP leaders respond to Trump claiming victory based on early counts. Tons of fun.

Why need the military when you have the electoral college. If the state legislatures can indeed change the electors then all he needs is already in that 200 year old piece of paper. That was its original idea as well, no? To prevent "mob rule" (democracy).

that's a bummer
election nights are the best, but only if you know that at the end it's going to be a winner
i remember when "Bush the Idiot" won, it was very anti climatic
it lingered over months till the SC decided to stop counting the Florida votes
