I think even though we can all hate Biden together, those to left of centre in your country need to at least stay in coalition for a bit longer.

There's already been riots in Portland, folks breaking into counting stations in Michigan, and protests in Arizona, New York, and Pennsylvania regarding whether or not to count the vote.

Don't forget a police riot in Seattle!

I might when the new thread comes up, I've already got it ready in another tab, I'm just waiting for this one to hit 500 in the next hour or so. The results don't surprise me at this point, Biden will get the 270, and he can probably manage Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Yeah just forget about the election bro. It's like a football game its entertaining but in the end who cares. If Biden wins or Trump wins I don't give a damn I got my own problems to deal with.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

Me too, it's calmer then I expected, at least. Those protests I mentioned were very peaceful.

What exactly am I doing that isn't consistent with staying in a coalition? I fucking voted for him and the election has already happened. Do you think me being nice for a few more hours is going to retroactively change people's minds?

Have you ever seen someone's conception of reality implode live on television before?

Well, one of the early orders of business for Biden, besides undoing a tonne of executive orders, is going to be, for the first time, a binding vote on either Puerto RIcan Statehood or an Enabling Act to set up a Constitutional Convention down there. For the first time, everyone will have to put their cards on the table, and McConnell will have to see if he truly has a united GOP behind him, especially when once considers how instrumental Puerto Ricans were in giving Trump Florida.

If he wants to go for it by all means but pulling off what Cleveland did in 1892 seems unlikely.
