It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

He may not walk away without some kind of golden parachute though so that some "winning" can come of this. His loyalists would have it no other way. Temper tantrums aside, the real deal is the focus is on Ga now.

Gore had 37 days until he conceded. - 4 Justices (RBG included) gave him more time. - Biden’s COS
@RonaldKlain
tweeted in 2014 that elections are rigged. - Clinton joined recount efforts 3 weeks after the 2016 election. Stop with the hysterics about Trump not yet folding.

You guys need to get a life.

Got one for sale?
:-D

 

[Don Alberto]

but the non-alternative fact is that T. lost the election by almost five million votes.

Right now the score is:
Biden: 78,142,142
Trump 72,770,555

The loser has lost by more than 5 mio, presently a deficit of 5,371,587 votes, while in 2016 he lost by a modest 2.8 million votes.

Trump will just have to be satisfied with criminal sentencing reform, enterprise zones in minority neighborhoods, and getting more of the black vote than any Republican in a long time. Quite a bit of the Hispanic vote too. That should counterbalance the liberal racist name calling.

He is also the best in CoViD-19.

Cases: 10,746,898 and deaths: 244,364 - well done, Sir, both China and Russia are far behind in the race.

Stop with the false equivalency. In 2000, only 5 electoral votes separated the candidates, and Gore was justified in waiting to concede because the difference came down to a recount in one state and the pending SCOTUS decision. Trump is currently behind by 74 electoral votes and none of his lawsuits will even come close to SCOTUS, if one of them manages to get past the lower courts at all.

Losing the popular vote two times in a row is quite an achievement. After four years of Trump, twice as many Americans voted against him - that's a discerning electorate.

Totally agree that Gore was justified in waiting to concede. That election was a disaster, the results seemed unfair and I was definitely not pleased with how it turned out. You very well could be right that Trump may lose his lawsuits, but it's also still possible that he could win them. We will all find out after the courts decide.

After four years of Trump, twice as many Americans voted against him -

That's an inaccurate and misleading statement. In 2016 Hillary Clinton received around 65,853,514 votes, double that and you have over 130,000,000 votes. In fact Trump received almost 10 million more votes (around 15 %) this time than he did in 2016. Oviously regarding the final outcome of the election these statistics don't mean much.

 

[on the brink]

I stand corrected. I should have said: after four years, Trump lost the election by almost double the difference in votes. First time he lost by 2,968,686 votes, this time by 5,250,800. After four years in power, 1.2% more people voted against him.

True, he got 9,511,896 more votes
But ,this time, his opponent received 11,794,010 more votes

And now, I quit this endless back and forth.
