Last night you declared victory when you knew deep down that the election was not over

 

Declares victory prematurely and then cries like a child when counting votes starts to go against him. 

He epitomizes all that is wrong with Murica. What a loathsome, self-interested, ignorant, delusional, vile human being.

If this election has taught us anything, it's this: the term "United States of America" is a ******* misnomer and a half.

Those aren't MAGA tears- those are the tears of decent people living in a place that seems to accept (as @Tracker said )"of overt racism plus a history of loathsome personal conduct, children in cages, 250,000 deaths, massive corruption and nepotism and a blatant disregard for the law".

It was said during the BLM protests, racism is so american that it's considered anti-american to protest it.

Trump’s official electoral map..

AC0-B1-C86-71-D7-421-A-AB7-E-F5-B5846-B7

Still a step up from the one his idiot son put together:

Road to 270: Pick your own state winners to predict the Electoral College  outcome | CTV News

Not a huge step, though. Must be all the powdered sugar in Jr's diet.

Too many of the pundits on TV last night were treating this like a normal election and thinking it was a disaster for Biden. It really wasn't now that you are seeing the massive numbers of mail in ballots actually being counted. 

 

Still closer race than a lot of people wanted to see, but given how hard the republicans worked to suppress votes it's not unexpected.

I dont really believe in early voting as having an effect. Having said that when i worked prov. election last year the PC candidate came from behind to win because of the early votes were counted last.

But I think this year is an abnormal year. There were a lot of early ballots. Reasons for those likely are driven by the bullshit going on with the postal service, concerns about covid, feeling passionate about getting a vote in. All things a democratic voter is more likely to do than a republican voter. 

The electoral system in the states is an overly complicated antiquated system and it's not as simple as just watching things as they happen live. With Elections Canada at least everything is consistent, in the States you get each state having different rules. Things get close enough then it gets decided by a 2 man sack race on consecutive sundays.

RECORD SETTING early ballots!!! This was an election unlike any others and it won't be repeated the same way next time (assuming the Rona is gone blah, blah, blah). 

 

But, what does not make good television is a boring election, so that had to pick apart all the early results that were coming in. So ridiculous comments about the Dems "losing" because they didn't take GA and FL came out. You had a few counties announcing results and people were losing their minds.

 

Also, each state is different and has different counting rules. But, again the short attention span of viewers (and voters) wanted the results in the moment everything closed. That's just incredible. 

 

Add to that the complete unawareness (and obvious gaslighting) of those with platforms to speak but no understanding of how their elections work.

I think it was either Lenin or Mao Tse-Tung who opined that democracy could not work in the long run because people were too stupid and too easily swayed. Judging from much of the US election results, he may have been right.

Should have been a no-brainer, but voters with no brains took over.

 

No hard to guess if any black folks voted for that.
