  1. Please let’s not get something wrong. The Democrats do not need to start hand-wringing, blaming, feeling guilty and ashamed or profusely apologizing. If Biden maintains both his Electoral College as well as popular vote leads he wins the 2020 Presidential election. But remember, this is not just any election. This wasn’t a battle; this was war. There have been many, many casualties, albeit nontraditional ones, from murders (Kenosha/Portland/Tacoma) to how many needless COVID-19 deaths, disabilities and infections? Former VP Biden will have defeated arguably the greatest single risk our democracy may have ever faced, certainly in generations. If Biden wins he will have legally defeated an incumbent President who was using all legal and illegal powers at his disposal in his attempt to defeat his challenger no matter the costs – yet still fails.
    Biden and this country, no matter how narrowly, will have conquered a man and his far too many coconspirator sycophants who have used every trick in libraries of books. To name just a few, this administration has tried to divert, depress, divide and conquer using: overt racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, Anti-Semitism, anti science, facts and reality, gaslighting, psychological manipulation, pervasive social media propaganda and misinformation campaigns with tens of thousands of lies, virtually unlimited campaign donations, law enforcement and white supremacist militias, USPS delivery slowdowns (USPS failed to deliver 27 percent of mail-in ballots in South Florida), hundreds of court challenges to election processes and voting rights as well as the overt solicitation of and assistance from foreign governments all while undermining the very legitimacy of democratic institutions: voters, voting and elections, finance campaign laws, peaceful transfers of power even political and social norms… What about the President’s blatant disregard for our Constitution, laws and values? Democrats up and down the ballot have done extraordinarily well in the face of such a ruthless, endless onslaught.
    If on January 20, 2021 Biden becomes the President, he and every single voter who was lucky enough to cast a ballot and have that vote counted (for any candidate) will have won by a larger margin than we can possibly fathom but historians, teacher and students hopefully will ponder these events for a very long time. We will have saved our democracy; saved vital, treasured although worn intuitions. Still, we must remain vigilant; we have our work cut out for us. Perhaps someday soon we will come together and celebrate, and even grieve, surviving. Regardless – It’s victory.
    (Other news: First woman VP! First woman of African American, Caribbean and Indian heritage as VP! Let’s breathe.)

  2. America has spoken……….we are divided and DONE…..NO MATTER WHO WINS…….WE ALL HAVE ALREADY LOST…..sad 😪………..so optimistic I am…..

    1. @frictionRx9 And, what would stop President Cheeto from declaring you an enemy of his administration? Can you PROVE that you’re a true patriot? Where are your papers?

    2. @frictionRx9 Oh ..wonderful..you want to hurt inocent people …what a Nazi you want to be….weak and dickless..

    3. It 100% matters who wins because the numbers prove their are more racist uneducated people living there than you all thought.

    1. Orange has to go. Whole doesn’t wants to work when assinne to others lazy the only. Thing he likes to make money our tax payer money.

    2. He will start demanding re-counts for all of the remaining states. He knew he would lose. I am so done with all of his f-ng whining. It’s not fair, their cheating, they don’t like me etc.

    3. @Sage Dawn he has laid the groundwork for saying its rigged and his cult will believe anything that comes out of his mouth

    1. @M Oscar der dee duh… yep, gotta double wide in da alee bammy … dat trump is jus lik me….he aint like doz new york city slicker yankeez

    2. @Try 2BU Biden’s lead in Nevada is growing and he’ll end up winning Pennsylvania by at least 100,000. trump might catch up in Arizona but it won’t even matter

  3. The world is watching and cannot believe that so many people voted for him after all the things he did and said.

    1. @lady bug no, it’s the manage and manipulation ordered by the the dictator wannabe orange clown what happened. Which is another crime hi is going to be charged with

    2. @Tf2knight I doubt he will ever be charged with anything regardless if he wins or not because the law doesn’t apply to anyone but the low and middle class

  4. Michigan trump supporters remind me of local unsigned rappers that only listen to their own music.
    They just dont understand how big the world is and cant imagine a scenario where they arent what people would want to hear

    1. I use to have a trump supporter friend and I use to tell him he looks at the world trough a straw.
      Everything that exist in his world is eider liberal or other wise…. tv programs, commercials, institutions … everything in his mind is one or the other. Very narrow view of the world. These trump supporters see them selves in trump while trump is just using them

  5. Open the secretary of states office! How do you require kids in school, but not be able to register vehicles?

  6. At this point, people who believe Trump’s preposterous claims of voter fraud have probably missed the over 22,000 lies the president has told since his poorly attended inauguration. Sad.

    1. and that was the entire point of the entire russia plot in my opinion didn’t need collusion only the idea it was possible to divide everyone and keep our country fighting itself

  7. Some don’t give up fact SO ME GIVE UP by carrying for all each to hear me translate the Bible now days

  8. “Winning” or “losing” any election, whether local, state or federal office, ultimately is a “win” for America when the will of all voters is allowed to determine our Republic’s future, to create a ‘more perfect union’ and in doing so reaffirm the supremacy of our Constitution over politics and ideology.

  9. The fact that t’rump tried to already claim victory last night just goes to show how he’s not looking to win by the votes…he’s looking to steal the election by any means available.
    So desperate! 😅😂🤣

  10. This race shouldn’t have been this close!!!! It really just shows you what’s going on in America. Biden 2020.

  11. A row of teeth, an encouraging word…
    The democrat party says “What we tell you is true. Now just relax and let it happen baby.”
