A lot, maybe even most, of states are still counting. California, NY, Texas to name a few.

We just aren't paying attention to them because the margins aren't close.

Cali due next month right? Hahaha.

I don't think some Brits get that there are other votes being counted at the same time, like favourite automatic rifle, which goat should be mascot and who you want to pick up trash.
 
I know one term presidents are rare, but they never lost it this close I assume? Bush the senior lost pretty heavily so he just had to shut up. Soo its interesting, that this is happening to an incumbent

even if there are some problems with votes that they can prove, I think (hope) the margin is massively against them. Trump lost Michigan by over 150,000 votes I think, and that margin is likely to be similar in other states. I'd hope that it's too improbable that millions of votes come in illegally in different ways in 7 or 8 key states

Also I think there's already a court case ongoing about the republicans deliberately obstructing the postal service to stop Democrat votes coming, which should count against them

I am hoping they're just clutching at straws like the reds were after the derby and the Bale CL final, and that trump is toast

I hope the tit , gets beat as well and goes down kicking and screaming, it's fun to watch this side of the Atlantic.
But if I were a yank I would be very worried about this taking hold it's looking like the country is really split and this will just fan the flames of division.
The likes of Trump will be in there ivory towers well away from the mess they have created on the streets.
I really fear for the people of America they are in for a rough time, Biden will be hamstrung by the other house and god knows were that will lead, but on a positive note at least they will not have the idiot to lead them anymore, pity we still have are one in charge.

Never been able to understand how Americans get so emotional over patriotism.

Usually I would agree with you, I think in this instance it's allowed. This is someone at the highest level making a mockery of a democratic process that the country was founded upon.

When he launched his verbal attack on people who are just counting votes I even got emotional. It's an affront to our systems. They are not perfect, sometimes people like Trump/Johnson get in, but least there is the ability to change that. If he didn't want to get thrown out of office he should have not messed it right up.

Yeah, but we all know the democratic process was bought by plutocrats a century or more ago.

Biden for me is any port in a storm. He's not a fascist. That's it. That's why he gets my support.
