There's a big schism between European and American Christians on political issues. European Christians, the few that remain, tend to be far more focused on compassionate, community outreach style, traditionally "left wing" political action. The US evangelicals on the other hand use Christianity in a very similar way to how ISIS use Islam. I mean the US called the sitting pope "dangerously left wing" ffs. They'll overlook anything a right leaning politician does or says because they don't actually understand or follow anything they profess to believe. So not only are they following a fantasy, they're not even following it properly.

Boris will of course be gutted as well because this has just torpedo'd the current iteration of Brexit Thank god it's finally done.

Looks like Fox are actively trying to talk Trump into conceding gracefully. I do wonder if he might just come out and give up despite all his rumblings otherwise.
-
Trump can legally retain power if the republicans back him and there's nothing anyone can do about it because the entire US democratic system hinges on a gentleman's agreement to voluntarily stand down...
-
Aye, fuck knows why.

You should start your own thread of dumb centrists confidently predicting Biden would lose

@Dr Gloom Also

As icing on the cake to all this, apparently it's quite likely that when Trump leaves office, and therefore ceases to be a person of importance, Twitter is going to ban his ass

There's absolutely no chance a left winger could have won this election. We barely scraped over the line with the blandest centrist I've ever seen. However, a left winger would have won the last one. I'm incredibly pleased that Biden is winning this, I'm pleased for what it means for climate change, Brexit, and international/political norms in general. But I don't think that this particular fight is over, and the centre is going to have to very quickly come up with something more coherent and viable than "not trump" if we're going to see off this threat next time out. 4 years doesn't feel that far off. Good luck to them though, I hope they manage it.

This is a great effort, well done her.

Wolves have created a professional esports RL team. Previously both PSG and Barcelona have too. Wonder how long before Ashley gives us ours...!

Message received ewerk, I'll fuck off.

I am not as convinced about PA as you guys are. Georgia looks more likely to me..
-
Are you putting AZ back in the Trump category then?
-
He fucking enraged me every time someone posts him I don't know why, maybe it's cos he's from Durham and therefore vaguely feels like he was our responsibility, maybe cos he used to be a lib dem, maybe because he looks like he's 12 and debates like he's 8, but he pisses me off more than any of the other right wing wackjobs.
-
Sounds like Brexit tbh.
-
Does seem like Arizona is on shakier ground than originally thought tbf. Although as ever, that's just from the Trump side - but there's been wariness about it all day really.
-
Michigan going to Biden... confirmed by CNN at least. Just Nevada now and then we're done.
-
She was. And Trump looked depressed as fuck In fairness to Trump, he's not done anywhere near as badly as I thought he would... it's a fucking close thing.
-
Crowder put that out there. Seems to have grabbed a few of their side but I've seen a decent number call it fake too.
-
They were? I don't remember now. So much of our last election was repugnant that individual aspects don't stand out.
-
Agreed. Although I think we can at least consider it good from our side tbf, but in the US itself I think this is a fairly empty gesture. They're in serious trouble - two sides, one with an insane vision - the mantle for which I understand is going to be taken up by either Ted Cruz or Tucker Carlson - and one side with nothing to offer except desperately pointing to the other side and saying 'look how bad they are'. The US is genuinely fucked.
