US Election

[Filo]

From the BBC just now, if that is true its all over bar the court case


In just a few minutes, we are expecting the Philadelphia City Commissioners to give an update on the ongoing mail-in ballot count.

Trump's lead in the swing state of Pennsylvania, which he won in 2016, has been falling as more postal votes are tallied.

Trump is currently leading by around 160,000 votes, but Philadelphia election officials say that they are now counting approximately nine Biden mail-in ballots for every Trump postal ballot.

If Biden wins he'll be gone within a year and the Marxist will be in power. Who would have ever thought that America would become a communist state?

I bet you don't even know what Marxism is AL and if you did you'd have to google it .

[Janso]

Anything to the left of Hitler is Marxism to some people. Then again, these same people are part of the "nAzIs WeRe SoCiAlIsTs" brigade.

Not at the moment. I've stopped going because someone told me they're all full up and the kids are queueing outside unable to get in.

[tyke1962]

The more I read about the two main party's in the US the more I'm convinced that the Democrats are the Conservative Party of Thatcher's era and the Republicans are way to the right of UKIP .

No fecking wonder the country's a powder keg .

Of course, Trump has made a career out of stuffing people then intimidating them into accepting they've been stiffed by threatening cripplingly expensive legal action.

He's now going berserk trying to do the same thing against the entire country. Be fascinating viewing if it wasn't so horribly dangerous for the future of America.

Here's how wild things are now. Fox News called Arizona for Biden yesterday. Apparently Trump phoned up Murdoch and screamed at him to get Fox to backtrack. And Murdoch told him to do one.

Trump is a very dangerous beast now. Probably mortally wounded, but still the most powerful person in the world.

A narcissist, a man unable to accept criticism from anyone, rejected by the people and those he thought were on his side. I hope someone is keeping an eye on him and the nuclear football.

Probably pardon himself before he finally hands over to Biden .

Only if your Nelson Mandela!

[SydneyRover]

I think the Democrats are smart enough to delay any court action against him till after he loses all power.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Whose Nelson Mandela?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Just dawned on me. These Trump supporters in Arizona protesting outside the ballot halls screaming Stop The Count.

He's behind in Arizona. If they stop the count, he loses!

I would be delighted for Trump to stand for president again, after he?s also done 20 odd years worth of porridge..

Aye it may have been Reply #47 on Page 2

Worryingly if he does win this time or in 4 years time he could try to get the Constitution amended with the help of his supporters and get extra Term(s) in Office - a la Putin - who knows ?

[Bentley Bullet]

Bloody hell, Trump will be 78 in four years time! How on earth can a bloke of that age become POTUS?   

[tyke1962]

Even if Biden wins this election it has still been a disaster for the Democrats and something that should concern non tories in the UK .

Trump's popularity has actually held up , in fact it's more than that he's won more votes than he did in 2016 .

I reckon without Covid he may have actually won this , he still might of course .

To send this populist brand of politics packing the Democrats had to win big and if they are successful it's by a c@ck hair .

Populism ain't going anywhere , I'd take note if I was you Starmer .

[MachoMadness]

Apparently Trump is desperate to speak publicly and his team is pulling out all the stops to stop him. So he's restricted to twitter outbursts. Oh to be a fly on that wall.

[wilts rover]

I was going to post that, especially one that has just spent the whole of this campaign saying that 78 is too old to be President.

Great minds think alike eh, and clowns.

Tyke.
What policies do you reckon the Democrats could have presented that would have stopped people voting for Trump?

By the way, it's not a close election. Biden is going to win the Electoral College by at least 290-248. And the popular vote by probably 5 million.

We are only calling this close because of the delay in counting postal votes. If they'd been counted at the same time as the in person votes, this would have been over and done 36 hours ago. Don't fall into the Republicans' trap of believing this is close because of legislation they have passed to delay the postal vote count.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Here's a nostalgic reminder of times when Presidential losers had grace and dignity.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Freedland/status/1324280879561232385

But then I suppose Bush didn't face bankruptcy and jail when he lost because he hadn't spent his life as a career criminal.

[MachoMadness]

I do wonder what Trump's concession speech will be like. Will he even do one? Is it a formal requirement or just a traditional thing?

[BillyStubbsTears]

I don't think it's s formal requirement. If a candidate decides to act like a petulant, egotistical man-child when they lose, and stay at home stoking conspiracy theories that say they won really, that's their choice. They've still lost and they won't be resident in the White House come January.

[BillyStubbsTears]

They aren't even trying to be sophisticated with their fake conspiracies.

https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324375334653988864

As of this moment, Trump trails by 11,500 or so in Nevada. The total number of mail in or early votes so far counted?

937.

Just like certain right wing populists here, they work on the assumption that their supporters are utterly clueless and ready to swallow anything.
