dammit, McConnell won. It was likely, but still sad to see that scum in office.

Looks like it's going to come down to the rust belt states Trump won in 2016.

It very much looks like a trump win. It's too early to say for sure though. But I really hope it isn't the typical democrat strategy of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by fielding an awful candidate they couldn't get anyone to really rally behind.

Dear World: America is a shithole country. We're a bunch of retarded racist assholes who hold an adulterous nazi up as the pinnacle of the country. You are more than welcome and not blamed for keeping your borders to our country closed. I wouldn't wish my nation's disease of fucking stupidity on anyone of you.

But I really hope it isn't the typical democrat strategy of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by fielding an awful candidate they couldn't get anyone to really rally behind. Not necessarily. Winning Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio means it's going to be close, but it's hard to fathom Trump over performing in every single rust belt state. Even if he were to over perform by the margins he has in Florida (though it may be more accurate to say Biden under performed hard in Maimi-Dade county), he'd still lose the election. What's sad is that any chance of a Biden land side seems crushed. If the election comes down to PA, Trump will no doubt try to get the courts to hand him the win regardless of the vote. EDIT: In any case, we probably won't know till Wednesday or maybe even Thursday who has won.
What does seem increasingly likely though is that the Democrats may not take the Senate. They're set to flip seats but not enough to take the majority with or without Kamala Harris. It's actually hard to explain right now how Jamie Harrison performed so incredibly poorly. It's probable that race will tighten up but Graham is staying in the senate by a broad margin despite polling predicting a much closer race.
If Trump does win, the only upside is that the GOF will have to deal with the fallout of their own policy choices and won't be able to shift blame but that seems like a paltry prize when they'll likely only become more brazen in trying to undermine democracy with four more Trump years.

Well, west coast is called (in a surprise to no one). It looks like it's gonna be a long wait for all the mail-in/military ballots to be counted as it's gonna be real close if PA doesn't start flipping.

It looks like it's gonna be a long wait for all the mail-in/military ballots to be counted as it's gonna be real close if PA doesn't start flipping. I'm not that worried about PA. Most of Trump's lead right now comes from rural counties that are already reporting 60-80%. The Phillie area and Pittsburgh are barely at 25% reporting. The problem in PA is that it'll probably take a day or two to fully count the ballots and call the state. Same with Wisconsin and Minnesota, and maybe Michigan. It's a big window for court battles to play out. It's the same in VA right now, though not nearly as stark in appearance. Much of rural VA is nearly finished reporting, but Alexandria and Richmond have barely started.
It's even possible we won't know until Friday who has won, especially if it seriously comes down to PA and Michigan in the end. EDIT: Nevada could also end up being a real nailbiter, cause they're accepting mail ballots all the way to Nov. 10 so long as they were post marked by election day.
I think a broader concern is what Trump does when Texas, Florida, Ohio, Georgia, and North Carolina are called. I think he might try declaring himself the victor as soon as he has an EC lead, even if it doesn't add up to 270.
