Joe Biden elected president .

[ichkeria]

Democrats have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections. Are the Republicans America's Labour party now electorally :-)

[Peter Pedant]

there is an awful lot of pussying around on this

lawyers march off to court Monday - it aint over till it is over etc

[Mozz71]

Even Donny's buddies on Fox News are calling it. Maybe Donald thinks they are lefty sympathisers now as well.

// Are the Republicans America's Labour party now electorally :-)//

what, you mean a party of losers?

[jno]

Mozz, he'd already lost Fox - he went ballistic the other day when they called Arizona against him. He must have felt his friends were deserting him. Today it was reported that all Murdoch outlets - coincidentally, I'm sure - suddenly told him to shut up

Trump tweeted notice of a "big press conference" this afternoon, and sure enough, here it is on CBS -

it's outside a Philly garden center on an industrial park - absolutely surreal.......

"Democrats have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections. Are the Republicans America's Labour party now electorally :-) " - well the repubs have actually won an election since 1974!

[ichkeria]

I don’t think any state of the 50, or even D.C., has finished counting yet, Just to put the fuss about “famous five” in perspective

[Cloverjo]

Yay!
I can’t remember the last time my view in UK or US politics coincided with a win. Feels so good!

[Old_Geezer]

Still just says "projected" everywhere as far as I've seen. Will shock 'em if postal votes and recounts turn it all around.

[jno]

yesterday the White House Rose Garden, today a Philadelphia garden centre.

[Zacs-Master]

They won’t, OG.

[jno]

OG, apparently the average change when recounts are done is 430 votes. Unless they find thousands of votes hidden with Trump's Letraset in a closet in the Oval Office, there are unlikely to be any major surprises there.

[ichkeria]

As stated several times previously: official results are never released for weeks after because the votes take so long to receive and count. (Maryland is in 79% - what are they doing there??!!)
So “projected” is what is called by the media until then

[Mozz71]

Jno, Fox hadn't called the whole thing previously, but they gave Biden Arizona when nobody else had. It's Philly that has pushed Sleepy Joe over the line (and Donny over the edge)

[Spicerack]

You have to admire the Democrats.
130 and 140 year old people making the effort to vote. Hell, one of them even died in 1968. Did he let that stop him? He sure didn't.
If only Republicans showed that kind of determination.

[jno]

that's right, Mozz, but his supporters had already turned against Fox, I suppose leaving them with nowhere to go but Breitbart

[ichkeria]

There was one case where someone tried to register their deceased parent.
One.
Unless you have unique evidence to the contrary.
Send it to the courts :-)

[ichkeria]

I’ve actually never found Fox too bad when they’re just doing actual coverage

[Bigbad]

The clock strikes at midnight on December 31st, and people think suddenly life will be peachy.
Watching Americans being interviewed in the last few days, it seems the Biden supporters have the same dreamy outlook.
Politics these days seems to be about personality above everything else, with too much soppy sentimentality, rather than strength of leadership.
I couldn’t care less who is POTUS, but I seriously doubt that Biden’s win will be the land of milk and honey scenario that people are expecting.
