@BruceAndNosh

I cannot believe that half the fucking electorate looked at Donald Trump and thought, Yes let's have more of THAT.
More than half. If you look at the %win in some of these states, trump has a shitload support.

This electoral college system is shite though, needs total reform. If votes were simply counted, we wouldn't even be in this position today as Hilary would have won last time.

@HMSSophie I feel very very similar. I'm so worried about the next few years.

BefuddledPerson · 04/11/2020 07:17

I don't know how the people actually running don't just self-combust with stress Grin

Roussette · 04/11/2020 07:18

Morning all... so it's going to be long and drawn out, and here we are waiting for Trump to make a statement, I dread to think what that statement will be
Hell, I'm tired on about 3 hours sleep.....

oranges there's no escaping the impact of this on the world. It's not like "oh, that stuff happening in the US doesn't effect me" is a reasonable response. Covid Brexit climate change and fucking Trump.

God I can barely bring myself to watch

Delphinium20 · 04/11/2020 07:22

And I cannot believe how depressed I feel about the sheer number -millions! MILLIONS - of people in the US and globally, who stand behind a racist sexist aggressive and egotistic horror of a man. Weimar Germany springs very uncomfortably to mind.

I'm so utterly disappointed with my fellow Americans. WTH is wrong with you? I'm grateful my state got called for Biden, but this is heartbreaking and terrifying. I don't know if I want the states to be one country any more. All the hateful MAGA red states can build their wall and go live in their gun-toting playland. (Don't really mean this, but am quite sick of this).

I am glad I didn't stay up.

TV on mute until the orange bawbag is done.

Really baffling is the winner takes all mentality - that seems unfair Confused

Delphinium20 · 04/11/2020 07:25

@Stellarto1s

I can’t believe half the population voted for Biden; someone who is obviously senile and cannot string a sentence together.
That's really cruel. Biden has a stutter. That's as bad as Trump making fun of the disabled reporter.
TheNorthWestPawsage · 04/11/2020 07:27

CNN say they’re not calling it - too many absentee votes to count. And they have to be counted! So cue Trump now on tv telegraphing his plan that he’s going to try and curtail counting.

That won’t happen, mate - it’s not down to you.

lionheart · 04/11/2020 07:29

Biden has asked people to be patient and hopeful.

Trump has made an address to the nation. And lied, a lot.

Roussette · 04/11/2020 07:30

Agreed Delphinium if we go down this route of mocking someone who has a stutter, we're as bad as Trump who insults women, POC, veterans and anyone else who comes into his sights.

Trump is saying he's off to the Supreme Court and is talking fraud. Shock

Ots not unfair at all. Where did I say that?

We will make America great again, again.

Ffs.

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 04/11/2020 07:31

He's doing it..... claiming victory and shouting fraud.

Whitecottoncandy · 04/11/2020 07:31

Delurking as I am so angry. Trump on now lying. Ignoring that legitimate votes are left to be counted. Said it’s a fraud and the ‘silent faction’ are out to get them. Insists he has won the election and ‘fake’ votes will be ‘found at 4am’. I hate him so much.

lyralalala · 04/11/2020 07:32

Trump is obviously shitting himself that he’s going to lose with this bullshit speech

Can’t believe he used the word integrity with a straight face

maggiethecat · 04/11/2020 07:32

WTF?! Two words come to mind - banana republic!

QuestionableDanceMoves · 04/11/2020 07:32

Delurking to ask if Donald Trump has really just said that he doesn’t want anymore votes to be counted as it’s defrauding the public???

Am agog so many have voted for him- he’s had 4 years, where’s his healthcare plan? Wheres any plans? I don’t understand how he’s gained minority votes when he’s openly racist

lionheart · 04/11/2020 07:32

Claimed wins he does not have. Claimed victory. Claimed the Democrats were cheating him etc, etc.

Roussette · 04/11/2020 07:33

i do laugh how Pence talks about making America great again, obviously the last 4 years didn't work then.

So Trump wants voting to stop, he wants the Supreme Court to take over, he declares victory.
He doesn't get that it's not about what he says.

Funny how all the Arizona votes should be counted according to him, but the Penn ones shouldn’t be
