U.S. Presidential Election

[tigger123]

Do we think that the press now won't call a state until all of the votes are counted, given its all so close?

Fox:

"it's agonising for the president watching his lead dwindle every hour"

Interesting that when they replay Biden's speech they only show him saying "...democracy is messy..." and then cut to him scratching his nose. It's a powerful edit and makes Biden look *really* shifty. These guys know what they're doing.

Oh hilarious, they're now reporting that when the observers move the fence forward so that they're six feet away the counters move their machines further away. Priceless. 

Might have to stay a bit longer.

On the whole issue of Republican reaction to Trump losing, I thought it was really significant that Pence was nowhere to be seen at the last press conference. Already distancing himself a bit? It's got to pretty embarrassing for him. Not that I care if it hurts him as he is a total c**t.

He’s been silent for nearly a week

Apart from when he spoke on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning? That does feel a long time ago though.

Pence also tweeted last night that should count all legal votes.

Nah, i think PA get called soonish and then the presidency for Biden

[Kurosagi]

Oh Ted Cruz is a piece of work isn't he:

"...in democratic city after city it's lawless...if you can't observe the count then what are they hiding?"

Fox anchor:

"...big tech and elite institutions have been spending years trying to destroy Trump..."

"Pelosi is a cartoon character...the american people have defeated socialism...every democrat that lost in the house has lost out to a woman, a minority or veteran...people are terrified at the direction of democrats in this country, defunding police, the green deal..."

What's going on in Arizona?

Not a whole lot at the minute. Trending towards Trump but no votes likely for a while. Some protestors, but not quite sure what they're protesting. I think they're the "keep counting votes" Trump lot, which they're doing anyway...

We could end up in a scenario where some call the result of the election and some don't as the AP have had Arizona called for 2 days.

Yeah, I'm a true believer now, there's no coming back. Trump's going to win this for sure, everyone says so.

Pence is a fucking weirdo isn't he?

Lol my family in America.

Literal brainwashing. Some of them hear what Fox says and they just swallow it. No critical thinking, nothing.

I can’t believe how submissive some Americans are to Ruperts media.

The irony 😜 I'm joking.

[tigger123]

No matter what happens, currently 69,622,407 US citizens voted for Trump. That's more than the entire population of the UK. Just let that sink in

My girlfriend has family in San Francisco so with San Fran being famously lefty when I met them last time I was expecting alot of talk of Fuck Trump etc but they are Fox news watchers. Even with their distaste of Trump being a twat they weren't going to support Biden/Bernie. My girlfriend sneakily kicked me to shut me up from asking follow up questions about it.

 

lol

It reminds me of a lot of the super super hard brexit lot. Any criticism or questions is treason. Any dissenting view is just treason.

Military ballots yet to be counted in Georgia...imagine majority of them would be for Trump?

This was discussed a few pages back, but being in the US military is by no means a proxy for "Republican".

People of very diverse experience and background go into the military over there. Also, Trump has no military background and has dissed veterans so... not popular.

CNN is the smuggest thing I’ve ever watched right now, really great stuff 😂

John King apparently about to come back on air after his 15 minute power nap!!

You'd think but Trump has been iffy with the army as of late. Calling dead soldiers losers and suckers, refusing to attend transfer ceremonies of returning dead solders which traditionally Presidents attend when they can, the Russian bounties of solders etc so it may not be as strong as you'd expect plus he's fucked around with their right to mail in vote and Biden had a son in the Military which comes off better than Trump's family of pricks.
