Not violence I think absolute civil war. California will declare independence

You can’t argue that he’s done brilliantly especially given covid - unbelievable performance and ruins it by calling cheat

A) A huge number of votes haven’t been counted yet and B) Most of us pointed out his best case scenario would see him edge a win. Rightly that was considered unlikely but not impossible.
Was there a narrative? People were falling over themselves to add in disclaimers after 2016 and say things like “anything could happen”. Plenty of analysis thought Biden would win the popular vote but EC would be tighter.

One thing to remember is most of these states that still are counting count in person on the day first then postal and early.
Long, long way to go

Most people were wanking over the polls.
A lot of those people are very quiet today.

Lets be honest. If they ran an election in somewhere like Iraq the same way they do in the US the west would be jumping up and down saying how it was undemocratic and questioning the result.

Nor me but I think I just have to leave them to it.

Always quite fancied living in the states, but for the need to look after my parents pretty sure I'd have moved to another country by now, but at the moment I'd hate to be there.
The most immediate concern if Trump gets back in is getting through a covid winter. He's been attacking the Biden campaign saying Biden will listen to scientists which gives a pretty good indication where things are headed. With the numbers as bad as they are there, and Trump seeming to have no intention of doing anything about it I dread to think how they will end up. There's also even less support there for those who lose their job or those who need medical help so the long term impact to the general population could be huge.
My next concern would be the environment. Will the planet be able to recover from 4 more years of Trump's policies.
People are talking about civil war and states declaring independence, sounds far fetched but I wouldn't write anything off at this stage.

You live in the USA?
Unbelievable but again terrible, almost arrogant by the democrats. It reminds me a little of Corbyn (engaging with voters, loyal energetic following) v May (lacklustre, poor communicator, thought it was nailed on).
This is the problem with people only operating/listening to their own bubbles though.
Fascinating if a little worrying !
Ps polling basically skewed by people not wanting to admit they’re voting for trump.
Not saying trump definitely wins by the way as DOD indicated this probably won’t be decided for a bit. Shouldn’t have even been close though !

For me the funniest thing to happen would be whoever wins has to give up within days through poor health

The odds on either of them making it through 4 years don’t seem great. Incredible that better, younger, candidates can’t be found.

I think it's time all of us in general change the way we view or believe polling... From brexit, to both US elections and even I some way the last GE before the exit polls... They are just not remotely correct anymore
They appear to be propoganda tools these days
Loads of places, but as I said, only four places that matter right now - Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. They are yet to report the votes and mail-in ballots from the big cities, and now that’s started in Wisconsin, Biden is pulling ahead.
Pretty funny that while everyone on here is arguing furiously about polls being wrong and Trump being underestimated, Biden is quietly on his way to winning the election in the precise way the polls have been predicting for months.

There’s a full on row between callers on 5live now. Full of passion and aggression. None of them American 
Zero chance of that happening. But if you’re watching RT for US election updates then don’t be too surprised if you get dodgy info!
