This whole thing was predictable. Trump has been casting doubts on elections through mail in voters for

months. He specifically told his voters to vote in person, while Biden told his supporters to vote by mail (bc it is safer) the end result was a very predictable Dems used mail in voting more.

 

what Donald wanted to do, was to appear to have won on election night - and then try and stop the vote and/or contest mail in ballots. Him and foxnews and other conservative outlets have been trying to make it appear as if the election is fishy bc he thought he was going to lose. 
 

this shit has been predictable for months - I’m surprised you fell for it.

Wayne County judge rules no evidence eegurarding te poll watching claims 


Not only that, Trumps lawyer admitted in court yesterday that their observers were allowed into polling stations in Philly, but instead they were upset about how close they were allowed to those who were counting the polls.

Hey, if you want to give Trump's team a victory out of all this....they were allowed to get closer. But that also let the Democrats and Independents get closer too. Everyone wins?

Trump's press conference in Nevada (I think) yesterday was hilarious. A Trump supporter was at it claiming her absentee was voided because of voter fraud. It was voided because she tried voting twice, and voted in person as well. Is there anything about Trump that is NOT fraudulent?

Feels awesome to say President elect Biden and VP elect Harris!  The 4 years of evil darkness is over. And the Trumpers who said it’d never happen I’ll just say hahahahaha!

This isn't going to be any kind of overwhelming improvement. Biden/Harris are not going to materially improve things for the overwhelming majority. Look at Kamala's links to the wickedly evil Proposition 22 in California, for example. They're both subservient to massive businesses. Biden is certainly less vile and less corrupt than Trump, but there's going to be a TON of work to hold these two accountable and working for good policies.

Even reasonable Democrats have to be asking themselves why they don’t want Republican observers watching the count. But, most Democrats aren’t reasonable right now, so I’m not surprised at the willingness to look the other way. 

 

 

 

This is not even legitimate. There are already Republican observers - in every state, in every precinct, that they're counting. Trump's own legal team has admitted this in their depositions, which is one of many reasons all of the courts are declining to hear his cases. How do you buy into easily disprovable narratives so readily?

If Bernie was the nominee, the election would've been over at 10PM on Tuesday, the Democrats would have a majority in the Senate, and would have expanded their majority in the House.

I'm not so sure. Bernie was my guy and I think he would be best for the country. But a lot of people are brainwashed by the inane socialist talk. Itswhy Biden lost so many votes in Miami. Trump branded Biden as a socialist and ta lot of the Cubans fell for it

I tend to agree. I would've loved a Sanders/Warren ticket or something of that sort, but we have to be honest, the socialist label would've stuck to Bernie a lot easier than it did to Biden and people STILL fell for Biden being a "socialist". Obviously, Biden is far from a socialist and Bernie isn't a socialist either, but we know that people won't actually research this stuff and will just take these scare words and run with it, so Bernie would've been in a much harder uphill battle.

I think most know it wont get better right away, but Biden is at least better than Trump and thats why he won

I've never seen the level of crazy that I've seen since Trump's loss.

 

 

 

You saw it in 2016 from liberals all over the web and it was hilarious. Trump hasn't lost, yet. PA violated the constitution when it's state supreme court ruled it could count votes recieved after 8pm, Nov. 3rd. This will go to the SCOTUS and there it will be decided. You can cheer and clap, but Trump is still president and it's not over even if creep Joe gets to 270 before Trump. There was a reason Trump said "stop counting" I know you like to think everything Trump says comes from him, but he's got a lot of advisors and Lawyers who are smarter than you.

we will see if they allow it they prob will since there were so many mail in ballots, what if mail in ballots favored trump and the ones after 8p, got him the win, would you still say it violates law??? or do you just say that cause it doesnt favor your candidate

True👍 every one congratulating themselves and cooing like grade school children with a crush on their teacher all the while forgetting they slept through civics class.

I doubt enough of Trump’s court challenges will stick to change the  result. Enjoy this small victory for now, because we all know Mitch will block most of their leftist agenda, and the Republicans will clean house in the 2022 midterms. Then, we get to do this all over again in 4 years.
