Elections don't matter I guess

This is how chaos would erupt. That would be the worst case scenario for all involved. It would be spitting in the face of democracy. Telling the citizens of the state “oh you actually don’t matter”

This isn't about what happened... my concern is with what will happen, moving forward.
I'm more concerned with our Democracy, and the potential damage done. Not worried about my wallet, right now... maybe I'm the fool?

That is a terrible answer. Give me a little more substance.

This is the same thing I have been arguing for a long time in here. Preserving our democracy is way more important than some tax policy or how well the economy is doing.

Agreed. I’m a white guy with good income - I benefited from him as president personally. But the shift towards an unchallenged despot in power was frightening. The complete lack of empathy, tact, or conscience was just the sugar on top. Punishing those who challenge or oppose your viewpoint, and advocating against them isn’t the way I want those country run. Just leads to more division when we have enough reasons for that to bubble up anyway.

Georgia amazing race; looks like Biden might eek ahead and the we await the votes tomorrow.

And more amazing to me that Pennsylvania is more likely to finish their count than Arizona, Georgia or Nevada. They had millions of mail ballots to count, the other states had a fraction of that. Go figure.

Take a look at what Lyndsey Grahm is talking about now...
It will get worse, as the days go by... Our Democracy is on the line here.
Russia will be dogging out American Democracy, within a week.

All of Big 10 country did a great job counting the votes quickly after they were allowed to. Somehow the south and the west couldn’t figure it out.

Looks like I'll be able to take the VICE off of this 2009 Topps Biden patch set (all cards /50)

Just wait until Harris takes the job; you can just transpose the words and it still works.

Steve Bannon banned from Twitter for saying he'd kill Fauci if he was president as a warning to others who don't get with the program. Last gasp before he gets locked up I guess.

I believe the Democrats are fixing to get a dose of their own medicine in a much stronger way. It has been building up and is probably about to explode in a bad way. Trump's falsehoods? You must be watching CNN. Tell Anderson and Lemon to keep watching I'm afraid it is going to get rough sooner than later.

Jesus, we are watching our democratic process work before our eyes. There are always challenges and disputes. We have 240+ years of it on the books. Trust the system, don't listen to the noise, and stop worrying about some crazy crackpot theories. The right guy will win.

He never said these things on Twitter though right? Was a podcast on a YouTube I believe. And Twitter banned him for something he said; not on Twitter?

I agree. This will not be an exciting time for them. No possibility of working together but what did they change over the past 4 years...or attempt to change. They set the new standard for dirty politics.

I feel like there's a lot of first-timer election participants here.

This is correct. Bluster, legal challenges, recounts... it's all part of the deal. Just kick back, have a cold one and Biden will be inaugurated on the 20th of January, 2021 right on time.

I was that in 2008. First vote, first time I lost. Since then, I've lost in 2012, 2016 AND 2020! (When I say lost, the vote I cast for President was for the loser in my state. McCain in FL in '08, Romney in FL in '12, and Trump twice in CT '16 & '20)
