I've seen some people say the fact that it's this close just means that populism hasn't run its course, and I think they're right. ****ing sucks. Hope we're going to have long, deep contemplations on how to move forward.Yea, Biden's taking lead in Michigan and Wisconsin at ~95% in and seems poised to narrowly win them and the only way for Trump is winning Pennsylvania and Nevada, which is a bit of a long shot. But the margin in WI and MI is 20k and 45k votes atm, so I'm sure Trump will summon all legalese mojo and sue for recounts etc.
Even if he loses, Reps seem extremely likely to keep the Senate, even if Loeffler loses the run-off in January and Dems to keep the House, but not really expanding their majority substantially. Biden's leading the popular vote by 2% atm, will probably increase it a bit once the West Coast is fully counted, but still overall not the crashing blue wave they had been hoping for and, more importantly, not (again) the double digit genocide that the vast majority of polls predicted.
Lmaoing really hard at anyone who think the animus that makes people vote Trump would just go away and they can go back to mimosas at brunch.

Definitely agree on this one. I still don't understand how on Earth the Democratic party thought that Biden was the answer to Trump. Yeah, let's pit someone who's been around for over 40 years against a clown who has as his only selling point that he is a newcomer against established politics (not really, but people buy it so it doesn't matter). That oughta make things fun!
Plz.Trying, desperately, to keep the status quo going, despite all indications of everyone and their dog thinking their raggedy asses are overdue for the door?
Trump threw everything he could think of at the wall to see what stuck. Bernie Sanders notwithstanding there are very few Socialists in the US. Trump also used Commies and Marxists.The word Socialism scares a lot of people in the US. The Trump campaign did a great job convincing voters that the democrats wants socialism in the US.

Plz.
Biden was not ''set up'' by the Democrats, he was voted for. When charismatic, energized, new thinkers like Buttigieg, Warran and Harris ran against Biden, they simply lost the vote.
Sorry I think you're confused, the previous election is not the current election.Please. If anything, the previous election showed how corrupt and insular the Democratic Party is. Harris didn't even lose the vote, she couldn't grease the wheels enough to get there. It disgusts me.
Watching Trump in action and you have the gall to call Democrats corrupt? What planet are you on?Please. If anything, the previous election showed how corrupt and insular the Democratic Party is. Harris didn't even lose the vote, she couldn't grease the wheels enough to get there. It disgusts me.
I agree but it's a matter of degree/ Trump 100% corrupt, Democrats 40%One side being corrupt has nothing to do with whether the other side is.

Interesting factoids defying "common sense":
"Despite" going for Trump by 51%, Florida also voted on $ 15 minimum wage (increasing ffrom 8.50) and passed it by 60+ %
"Despite" being 85% Hispanic and quite poor with median household income of 25k and having been deep blue for over a hundred years, the Zapata county in Texas went 53% for Trump.
