This. Until the democrats take both houses their hands are going to be tied anyhow.

even more than that, there are paymasters that are well above the party. The economical design of that country is pure capitalism and bribery.

When your entire economy is based on de; there is no reform, no change or no hope.

Care to expand on that?

Just a feeling I have mate.

Im saying both sides could be up to stuff as well btw not just the huge vote dumps for Biden.

North Carolina not updating again until 12th November again just seems odd to me when they are in the late 90% last night ?

I'm not sure how Harris is perceived but she sounds a good game at least based on her experience.

I get what you say about biden so why not nominate someone 4 years younger than him for the 2 terms?

It's much easier to win a second term then it is to win a first , and the democrats have engineered into an easy (fought) win given the circumstances but face a fight next time that may well backfire on them.

I have no idea how she is perceived either. Hopefully our American friends can shed light on that.

I agree what you are saying about choosing someone 4 years younger, but realistically the only other candidate was Sanders. And as has been discussed before, Sanders because of his more open socialist leanings scares most Americans too much. So the Democrats had to make a choice between Sanders and Biden. And its Biden's VP experience that probably meant he had more credibility and would get more votes.

Think the attitude was lets just get Trump out and worry about 4 years time after...

I think it's just that the count is extremely slow and that fuels conspiracies. It doesn't mean anything is actually wrong.

I think it would be same in UK if by a Saturday after an election, no one knew the winner. Sceptics would be sceptical, but it means nothing. People would be very impatient all the same.

From what I see , the democrats have potentially damaged their own short term future unless Harris is the planned replacement in 4 years (can she then do 2 terms?)

The republicans will have a candidate that isn't trump next time out so will get a lot of support from their own that may have voted against trump this time for personal reasons.

Whereas democrats have to fight a new campaign rather than continuing one next time out.

The Biden appointment was very short sighted when let's be honest , anyone but trump would have won this election for them.

Dont go along with that, Biden was and is a safe, sane pair of hands and has until the next election to groom his successor. While I think the Banana Republicans wont find it that easy to get rid of Trump, unless he's jailed or unless one of them grows a backbone and stands up to him and his madness. Highly unlikely because no one up to now has had the courage or fortitude to even whisper to him, " You could be wrong here sir"

we know one side were - how many ballots hadn’t been delivered because he jammed up the post again? 300000 wasn’t it?

edit ; also these aren’t vote dumps for Biden, they are ballots the GOP wouldn’t let be counted until now, solely to create the illusion that something is amiss

Aye, that's the thing. They'd be counted by now if it wasn't for the 'kin Republicans. I'm amazed at how brazen they are to complain about it now

I think this is in no small part due to one side continually bringing up such a scenario being perpetrated by the other side, whilst trying to do it themselves.

Totally. The current results, a Biden presidency, and the Senate upheld by Republicans will actually make Mitch Mcconnell the most powerful man in this country for he will have veto power over Biden's agenda. The current outcome is almost as bad as having Trump for another four years because Mitch will be able to rein Biden like he was never able to control unhinged Trump.

"Not just the huge vote dumps for Biden".... good lord. lol lol lol

NC are still going because they allow votes that arrive up to a week after the election, so long as they're post marked on or before Election Day

It takes over a week for a letter to arrive in America ?
Ive no idea on their postal service, so fairy nuff if that’s the case.

In all honesty nothing will change; America will still be ruled by severe capitalism, have underbody of racial hatred and poverty on levels with third world countries.

The only difference is the person is at the top. The president is a puppet for the money men

Same as this country then...

Only my opinion like, but some proper dodgy stuff could be going on here.
This system looks wide open for possible fraud.

I watched a video on Facebook last night (that I forgot to save and can't find again) of a guy explaining exactly how the US election process works and how it is to open to legal challenge unless there is a landslide victory. I can't remember the exact details so excuse me for inaccuracies but basically the US people aren't directly voting for the new president. What they are voting for is to give the 'electoral college' an view as to how they should vote. In most case the electoral college follow the votes of the public vote (the popular vote) but under legal challenge or even by means of fraud, they can vote differently. The Electoral College vote is sent to congress or the senate (I can't remember) who then make the final vote on who becomes president. Again this part is hugely open to legal challenge and fraud.
Like I said, I'm no expert on the process but that's the gist of it and it looks like Trump won't hesitate to drag this to the supreme court to delay a decision even if he can't manage to force a second term out of it.

Trump deliberately jammed the USPS up, Toast - they even had a court order telling them to determine how many ballots had been not delivered / lost and they ignored it:

‘Someone may have to pay a price’: Judge lashes Postal Service for defying ballot order

The Postal Service did not comply with a last-minute court order to deploy postal inspectors to sweep facilities for undelivered ballots.

that somehow 18 ballots found under a rock (and restored in time for the people to vote) and sharpies are the things they are bitching about should tell you what fraud they’ve attempted here
