Do we have a politics thread to discuss things political?

Poor Donnie cannot make up his mind what he wants.

from news.com.au

Donald Trump is, on the one hand, complaining that Fox News called the state of Arizona for his opponent tonight. His argument there is that, even though Joe Biden is leading, votes are still to come, and they might push him over the top.

On the other hand, Mr Trump is saying the vote count should be halted in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, because he is leading in those states. Even though there are millions of votes still to count.

For Biden to win Pennsylvania, he needs to win at least 75% of the remaining vote there.

Not impossible, they're all postals, heavily favouring Biden. But 75%? Need to stay up late to see.

Oh, and PA will be accepting postal votes until Friday which will all count.
 
More than 100 million people cast their ballots in early voting before election day. Many states including PA have election rules that they wont even start counting those votes until polls close. So there could be a lot of votes yet to count. (or a lot of votes Trump wants discounted)

Think he has many options and doesn't necessarily need Pennsylvania anyway. Guess we'll see what happens.
 
This is my projection as of right now. Could be wrong on NC and GA but either way Biden wins.

Biden back in front, but as expected Trump calling for a recount and filed papers at the Supreme Court.

We'll be lucky to know the results by the inauguration at this rate.

Let’s hope that the courts see through Trumps childish antics. There’s no way that they can justify having states invalidate votes that were cast legally just because they were counted after Trump declared himself ruler.

It’s because Trumps followers have granted him demigod status. They’ve lost the ability to think critically and follow his every command.
 
Scary but fascinating
We are watching an empire in decline

Maybe America should be , not united
Could fall apart like USSR into lots of small countries, not that small many states are bigger than countries

Or split in 2 as the population is split in 2
Racists gun toting chunk together
And the more sane passive chunk together

Splitting the country would take another civil war. There’s no way it could happen peacefully or legally for that matter.
 
Georgia is looking better and better. I'm writing off North Carolina though. But AZ/NV/CT/GA likely to go to Biden IMO.
