    Why not just unite behind one guy, get rid of Trump, if they feel they need GOP values repped, vote for the next Republican.

    Some just worship Trump.

    Trump isn't really a Republican, he is alot worse and one man show.

    It has been called for Biden. I haven't seen that it has been reversed or put back into the undecided category as of yet.

    Who was it that came up with “Defund The Police?”

    u could make the argument that some resources should be diverted to other services, and maybe it gains some support, but just that slogan alone prevents it from ever gaining any traction

    Hopefully he takes PA and GA so we can move on. If he doesn't this **** is going to the courts and recounts.

    FOX and the AP....Fox folks are saying what Trump thinks, but they haven’t rescinded their call as of yet. Most of remaining votes are in Maricopa.

    I appreciate Bernie's idealism and integrity, rare in politicians, but I very much doubt he'd have won the election. And even if he did, the Senate would almost certainly not have turned Democrat because a ton of people in the middle would vote for Republican senators as a check against his "socialist" agenda. Too many forces aligned against him. The country, by which I mean the institutions propping up its power structure, would not allow him to succeed.

    Having a centrist President is the best chance we have of getting something done with a Republican senate.

    The democrats haven't lost them forever, no more than the Republicans have lost the well educated voters forever. Things change and sometimes quickly. A trump loss very well could push the Republicans back towards being traditional Republicans, and may mean that the Democrats take the lower class white vote if they nominate someone that is pro-trade restrictions.

    The parties go back and forth trading voting blocks.

    Of course he is trolling I can't understand why anyone is still engaging with him.

    When the Democrats lost in 2016 by similar numbers as Trump is losing by in WI, MI, and PA, they didn't challenge those in the courts, did they?

    Well, with Biden looking good I guess the real question becomes the Senate... I haven't heard much chatter on that though..

    Michigan and Wisconsin is all Biden needs now it seems. This has been a heavy voted election on both sides. It was a knock out drag out election battle that was evenly matched despite the polling saying otherwise...
    I’m not excited about Biden, definitely NOT excited about Kamala but if we can work together to get people going in the right direction to save life’s and save jobs then there are no losers. The republicans had a nice try going the outsider route but it was clear despite Biden’s gaffes that he had more refined political savvy. My hope is in 4 years we embrace someone smarter, with charisma and political background ala Tim Scott . Either way congrats on voting all! :)

    Exactly.

    That was dumb as hell. It completely hurt momentum that they had on that subject and the Dems don't seem to have the organization that the GOP does. As a party, they should have shut that down immediately, changed it up, and found something better to stand behind.

    Something far vaguer than that.
