Heads up: if PA goes to Biden, the final count would be 290-248. If GA goes to biden, it'd be 286-252. If both go to Biden, 306-232.

Just wanted to say that it has been awesome to follow these elections through you guys intelligence, sense of humour and resourcefullness. I'm not American but I am worried about these elections due to the fact that the far-right has been gaining momentum in the west ever since Trump got elected. Thank you guys for everything. I hope you are well and try to keep calm even though this must be an overwhelming time for most people. Really hope Biden wins!

I feel like I just read Biden over and over throughout these sentences :billie:

We don’t really need to talk too much, show each other what we know 🦋

Did you learn that song too? :ladyhaha:

I didn't have a song, but I had to memorize them in 5th grade, as well as the capitals. I also have used it when teaching children, so it stays fresh.

Y'all are gonna hate me but it must be said:

Dems lost House seats

Dems will most likely not win the Senate

IF Biden ends up winning, it will be an extremely close race

Everyone said Biden was the most electable. The Democratic establishment all convened to hand him the nomination.

But wait, there's more!

These underwhelming results all happened with RECORD turnout, which has been one of the main arguments Dems have been making: "If we vote, we win!"

It also happened with an opponent who is racist, sexist, fascist, a demagogue, authoritarian, nationalist, a pathological liar, violator of human rights, WAS IMPEACHED, tons of his staff are in prison, etc.

What does this say about the state of the Democratic Party?

We have to have this conversation.

Last night was a catastrophe, in every way imaginable but one (in that Biden may actually eek this out at the end). 

The party leadership actively intervened to stop a wildly popular candidate with organic, legitimate grassroots support on behalf of the guy that had next to no genuine enthusiasm for his campaign, and cable news convinced their age 60+ liberal audience that they had to vote for him to stop Trump while attacking the then-primary frontrunner relentlessly.

And now here we are. Trump, one of the most incompetent, disastrous presidents of all time, who killed hundreds of thousands of Americans with a pandemic the rest of the world has under control, somehow improving on his numbers with non-white voters and nearly winning re-election anyway. There’s no excuse for this.

The exit polling across the country last night shows (even in Fox News’ polling numbers) that the vast majority of Americans want “government run” M4A style healthcare, want a minimum wage increase, want more spending to address climate change. They wanted Bernie’s platform. And instead, the party and the press propped up the guy with so many skeletons in his closet that it’s genuinely stunning he’s still in politics at all and who literally told Latino and Hispanic immigrant activists that they should vote for Trump when they criticized him for his record of deportations under Obama. And then he goes on to underperform with the demographics that Sanders did well with.

What happened this election is blatantly obvious. The Democratic Party has to be completely dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up with real, legitimate leftwing and working class policies or we’re getting another Trump in 2024. This is a disgrace.

Do you think Lady Gaga's ambitious fans hampered the election by tweeting German-Satanic rituals? Discuss!

I'd be feeling pretty awful if I was a Trump supporter right now tbh. No wonder they've moved onto their 'the election is stolen!' rhetoric

Do you feel him sir?
