Election Part 2 (Trump thread #108)

There’s no evidence of fraud- every vote cast should be counted, that’s democracy.

And of course he said that all votes should be counted in places like Arizona before Biden is declared as the winner. Just Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Caroline need to stop counting.

The US would rather have Trump than the possibility of a woman.

I wonder if he will continue on his "fraudulent election" train if he actually wins fair and square?? 🤔

The man is an absolute c*nt (and I deplore that word). So fucking angry with him, and a large part of America at the moment. Idiots. 😡

I would love it if Trump lost with higher numbers of the personal vote. That would be bliss.

Arizona declaring shortly apparently

Shocking use of the notion there's 'fraud' going on, as well as his sneaky use of 'disenfranchised'...
Stoking division as expected.
I'm just taking comfort in the fact that election day seemed to go quite peacefully and smoothly yesterday.

@JamminDoughnuts

Shocking to go to supreme court.

He surely can't do that, he has no grounds to do that in a properly run democracy, has he?

Man this is so upsetting. I thought trump would win but actually watching a democracy (I know, republic, yada yada) fall in real time is very sad.

Oh, thank you, @Roussette, for keeping the last thread going and sing this one.

*starting

Up since three, shattered, depressed, got to work today. As ever, you think he'll be bad, and then he surpasses your worst expectations. Mainly, though, it's terrifying and heartbreaking that so many people clearly have voted for him.

@HoneysuckIejasmine it’s incredibly scary how easily and blatantly a democracy can be dismantled.

AP has just called Arizona for Biden.

I absolutely do not understand why so many Americans have voted for someone who is so openly horrible in so many ways, he really has no redeeming features at all.

Does anyone know where the popular vote stands right now? or do they not tally that up until it's all done and dusted?

Raab is about to try and weasel out of commenting now. What an utterly vile bunch of politicians we have

Saying he wants to go to the SC is a way of undermining democracy. That's what he wants to do. He'll be calling out to the Proud Boys next.

He can call it a victory all he wants. It's not. Until all votes counted.

Signing in. I need to get to work on a disrupted night’s sleep. I will be keeping an eye on the thread to see how things are shaking down. Thank you so much to the thread regulars who’ve kept going the last 4 years. You rock!

As an aside, will stalwarts have the stamina to keep these threads going for another four years if necessary?

Democrats win Arizona

It's fascinating to see the exit polls on the postal ballots in the close states.

He is full of talk, he wont actually do anything.

A landslide, in either direction I'd go so far as to say, would the most calming thing right now.

Good morning everyone

@Irisheyesrsmiling

I can't believe this has happened. Whether he wins or not, that so many millions of people would get behind him after what he's done over the last 4 years.

I told you guys before people are/were really happy about the economy.

USA what a fucked up place?! Why would so many people vote for this individual?

I fear for American democracy!
