Wainy316 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 So when I see comments from the British thickos (can’t think of a better way to generalise them, you know the type) they all say Biden is a peado. What is the basis for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 georgia will be recounted, obviously. And understandably, I think any political party in that situation with that margin would do that as standard I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 This has been one of the most astonishing episodes in American history. What on earth will future historians make of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is obviously great. But it will clearly play into Trump and his supporters' hands. I can already hear them screaming about how the media are covering it up and won't let him speak and they're all in on it. The whole thing is thoroughly depressing.

Stevo985 Posted November 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 so going by the BBC's map, if Biden wins Nevada and Arizona as is expected he hits the 270. If he overtakes Trump in PA and GA which now also looks likely he's looking at over 300 votes. Suddenly it's the landslide we all hoped for isn't it?

(relatively speaking) It's certainly bang in line with many of the pre-election predictions. I'd hesitate to use the word landslide though. Trump will basically have taken Florida and North Carolina of the dozen states thought to seriously be in play.

According to that video they interrupted after about 30 seconds when it was clear he was talking gibberish. Which like I said is admirable in a way but can you imagine the reaction from his camp at that? Plays right into their hands in a way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(relatively speaking) I really don't think anyone should see it like this for the reasons that @LondonLaxmentioned earlier, i.e. the sheer number of Americans who voted for Trump and who could well vote for a more polished Trumpian candidate next time around. I really don't think that a swearing in of Biden in January would be anything more than a build up to an even worse possible presidential situation next time around (i.e. 2024 with a more than competent populist).

Jareth Posted November 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 I mean we've all been there, we've alienated the room, someone should really have stepped in and told us to shut it but nobody does and then everyone falls silence and just stares at you. Trump's done that on a world stage. Possibly one of my favourite moments in life so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the landslide part was talking relatively. For an incumbent in this day and age to lose by that margin would be devastating, but agreed I guess landslide isn't the right term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah see above. Landslide was the wrong word to use. But it's still a considerable margin given the circumstances, and especially as 3 days ago we were all seriously considering a Trump victory was possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
