Election Night (+4) in America - Result: Biden Elected President (22 Viewers)

[GrandAdmiral]

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

What station you got?

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

We are who I thought we were.

You got kids. It's time to think of an 'exit strategy.' This is not the type of nation I would want my child growing up in, sadly.

Well, it's not a done deal. We'll see when the dust settles.

 

[JRad]

Why isn't there a vomit react.

 

[Ayo]

that response you found time to reply to

You guys, lapaz is right, we’ve been preached to about not getting freaked out too early. This evidently will take a couple of days.

If the result in Ohio is about +4 Trump.. Biden still has a very real shot especially if he can win Arizona. If it's closer to +8 like last time then it's over.. +6? Real close with advantage Trump.

But if that shirt about Minnesota is true then it's over, but skeptical for now.

Even still... that it's this close says all I need to know. This is not Mitt Romney or George W. Bush winning reelection.

 

[Ayo]

Nate is breaking down in real time

 

[Devildog]

I hate people that are positive to a fault.

 

[SystemShock]

Well,my sympathies from MX. Won't be back in the US until the 16th, if they let me back in.

 

[JRad]

The following close states started counting mail-in votes today, which favor Biden, so any of these that are currently in Trump's column, will either flip or get much closer after the mail-ins are counted. If Biden is winning them by the end of the night, then it is almost certain that Biden will win them:

• Georgia

If Trump is expecting to hold a lead in Georgia [Atlanta], he's dumber than I thought.

I know this. I keep telling myself this. I can't make myself believe this. But it's true.

I fully expect that even if biden wins, say by 1%, trump and company will file lawsuits.
Also I heard or read something back in 2016 that the country would get the president that the country deserves, not the one they need. I figured more people would have learned after 4 years of trump throwing hot garbage all over the constitution.
When history looks back on these years, it will be referred to as the "idiocracy period"

 

[LA - L.A.]

The calculation I am doing now is how much sleep I want to give up for something that will end up a fait accompli

I'm about to tune out the coverage. How many times do I need to hear look at these numbers, but remember don't pay attention to these numbers because they don't mean anything yet.

It's watching coverage of an approaching hurricane. All stress, very little actionable information. One of the advantages of being on the west coast is that I can tune back in around 11:00pm and pretty much know who won. That's what I'm going to do.

 

[CoolBrees]

Yeah we are getting the absolute worst situation possible. Trump is going to be leading in a bunch of states - PA, WI etc and will declare victory and will try to shirt down the counts- PA is going to have over 250k not counted today- and the courts will decide in his favor.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I guess 2 questions. How many mail-ins are outstanding and how long will it take to get them added to the totals?

We live in a country that is absolutely jam-packed full of morons, so none of this is surprising.


ETA Devildog beat me to it

I feel like we as a country are waiting for our STD test to come back

Yes, I continue to believe that Biden will win, if the votes are allowed to be counted, but Trump will try everything in the playbook to stop the counting.
