Biden only 13,000 votes behind in Georgia (although 99% of ballots have been counted.

If 27% of the postal votes in Florida hadn't been 'lost' by USPS, they might just have swung in Biden's favour too.

Biden not the best candidate but will be nice to have someone sane in that job again.

Kind of balances out then BB... As I am quite convinced Trumpton has a very nasty social disease that is eating his brain away... all you have to do is read all his tweets... :lol:

Kamala Harris could be the first female president of the United Sates then? If JB has Dementia ...

Georgia down to 2,500 votes between Trump and Biden. The direction that is heading should see it flip Dem.

What's wrong with those people. How dare they count the legal mail in votes that they weren't allowed to count until the voting closed.....because the Republican legislature wouldn't let them count them early.

More the fact that he's a nice guy as opposed to the current guy. He'll work towards social harmony and unity which is exactly what we need. Trump would have torn this country towards civil war with another 4 years. Biden represents sanity in comparison.

I really think GA and PA are turning blue (not in a Chelsea way but I'll take Blue over Red)

I just read that the Republican states such as Ohio gets the votes counted quickly whereas the Democrat States are the ones that have problems with the counting of votes going so slowly, and this reflects that the Republicans run things better than the DemocratsImageImageImage

It will be the night of the long knives and within 6 months Biden will be deemed unfit for office and the Democrat Cabal will ship him off in slippers to a nursing home and the US will have a woman president.

This election has been about the selection of the best of the worst.

14,000 votes left to count in Georgia...

Biden 1,250 votes behind.

Biden needs 55% of the remaining votes to take the state, so far the postal votes have been overwhelmingly in his favour.

Pennsylvania is a similar story too

Whether Biden is losing his marbles, Trump lost his a good few years ago.

They’re just about as fit for office as each other, don’t forget Trump is only 3 years younger (and obese, with significant risk of a heart attack or stroke).

And even still I’d rather have Kamala Harris take up office than Pence.

So if neither are exactly fit for office, then it comes down to whether you want the pathological narcissist who is a proud racist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-abortion, climate-change denier who not long ago suggested that the solution to covid might be to inject yourself with disinfectant, or the other guy.

And Trump’s greatest achievement to excuse all of this? The famous economical boost. Of course he effectively inherited an upward trend anyway.

Annual average growth at 2.5% of GDP in Trump’s first 3 years and 2.3% in Obama’s last 3.

Annual jobs created in Trump’s first 3 years? 6.4 million. In Obama’s last 3 years? 7 million

Highest annual rise in average wage under Trump? 2.1% in 2019. Obama? 2.4% in 2015.

All of this further growth came whilst reducing government spending on healthcare to fund his ridiculous border wall.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc. ... d-45827430 - source for all the economics stuff

Not sure the choice is a particularly hard one. Seems very telling that Biden’s votes are coming from the big cities, where people are integrated and have the opportunity to interact that are different to them. Trumps votes are coming from rural white America, where the demographics and attitudes haven’t changed in the last 50 years.
