Election Night (+4) in America - Result: Biden Elected President (1 Viewer)

I'll probably be flipping between CNN, NBC, and probably PBS if they have coverage.

What station you got?

 

[DaveXA]

Oh CNN, you and your breaking news...





.

Lmao, when has Trump ever reached out to a Democrat in the last 5 years? Breaking news. Lol.

Finally catching the speech. Wow, Joe came out running. He's fired up.

Yeah, I agree. She was Biden's best choice for VP imo. Smart pick. Sometimes I wonder if she had won the primaries whether she'd be President now. My hunch is yes.

She was my first pick.

 

[DaveXA]

She was my first pick.

She was my second. I admit I was pulling for Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries.

My heart wanted Harris/Booker, my head wanted Biden. I love Joe Biden though. I've spent the last year and a half trying to make progressives realize that Joe Biden has no intention of standing in the way of what they want. If it can be done he'll work to get it done.

I had the distinct pleasure of booing this guy when he was introduced at a Saints game in the Dome a couple years ago.. The people in my section looked at me like i was a monster , because he was recovering from a gunshot wound.. but i was booing him as a person and a public servant, not the fact that he got shot.

You weren't alone.

I'm still pulling for Tulsi...

 

[cuddlemonkey]

Reminds me of the snack-sized bag of Cheetos I had with an expiration date of Nov. 3, 2020.

 

[DaveXA]

I'm still pulling for Tulsi...

Well..yeah.

I’ve always liked Biden. His age was a concern, but I’ve seen enough to believe he has enough in him for the next four years. I liked Bennet early, and Kamala as well (they both received money from our household).

As old as Biden is, he was really the right candidate for this moment.

So Biden is introducing COVID-19 task force in Monday.

It would be abdolute gold of Anthony Fauci is a member (I know he's not).

I think he said it was a "transition advisory team" so Fauci ultimately being a part of it is possible.

(not asking snarkily) Do you actually know that? I immediately assumed he would be on it.

Agree about Biden’s speech. I obviously haven’t seen all of his speeches (or even a fraction of them) during the campaign, but my impression was he saved the absolute best for this occasion.

You could see how perfectly fine-tuned every aspect of it was too: from running out on to the podium to celebrate the win (which seemed a deliberate attempt to overcome the “Sleepy Joe” rubbish), the care he took to enunciate every word, even using the phrase “spare no effort” rather than “expense” to discuss the virus response presumably to stave off criticism from his political opponents who will criticise the Dems for being the party of reckless expenditure.

It was a perfectly crafted speech and it was well delivered too. His calls to unity were commendable as well, though I suspect they won’t resonate. The Trumpsters on forums like Tiger Droppings have descended into full-on conspiracy theory mode. Notwithstanding the absence of any evidence, we’ll have a four-year long narrative to the effect that the election result was illegitimate.

Oh yes my conservative friends and relatives are absolutely losing their minds. They are all sharing that fake video of the woman "manufacturing votes" as if it shows anything nefarious.

Anyway. Great speeches by Biden and Harris. They are a good pair and we are lucky to have them. I appreciate the sentiment of unity, but team Trump has NO DESIRE to unify.

 

[Goatman saint]

But it will be harder for the senate to just be terrible to Biden. He has many life long friends in the senate and that will make it harder for them to just shut it down.
