Joe Biden beats Donald Trump, officially making Trump a one-term twice impeached, twice popular-vote losing president

So what happened to having to count all the votes taking days, or possibly weeks? Seems like, at least from what I'm gathering in this thread from skimming the posts, is that by tomorrow we'll know whether or not Biden has won. Is it just that the remaining votes in the states that have already been called are not enough to swing the outcome either way, and it's just about finding the final numbers? 

 

 

I'm still not liking how close this election was, and fear what the Republicans are going to do to try and steal it. 

Most states that haven't reported full numbers yet are decidedly blue. Like New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, and California. The red states are all pretty much counted.

Another thing that's making me feel... better-ish today, aside from the obvious of Biden seemingly being on the cusp of clinching, is that it looks the drop in the margin of the House majority won't be as bad as what the worst case scenario looked like. This is a lot like 2018, where early on on election night it was looking much more disastrous than what the final outcome was. A 52-48 Senate would still be a huge bummer for obvious reasons though.

I'm sorry, but this is kind of silly. Squad all come from much safer blue districts. I'm in IL-14 and we got one term out of Lauren Underwood before Republicans took it back with racist dumbass Jim Oberweiss.

 

He explicitly says he's not talking about the Squad in terms of the specific policies they'd support.

Guess we're waiting until Friday to see about PA?

That's when they expect to be completely done, but I would expect the networks to call it as soon as Biden's in the lead, yeah? I think the expectation is it's going to steadily move in Biden's direction from now on and it's just a matter of whether enough is left for him to overcome the deficit, which most everyone seems to agree by now is almost certain.

That's making the assumption that such a person exists in those districts. Probably a lot easier to find charismatic, driven young Democrats in the fucking Bronx versus the North Carolina boonies.

Running bland middle-aged military veterans is clearly not working, unless the actual goal here is to just guzzle up campaign donations.

Unless they call PA for Biden, I'm not relaxing at all.

I think its an ultimately unsolvable problem for Democrats. Republicans can toss out whatever generic whitey that toes the party line but Dems have to carefully tailor their candidate to the district they're running in.

Preemptively declaring defeat is certainly something the Democrats know how to do.
