    Such are things. With the current house race results, 2022 is looking to be an interesting year especially because most of the senate seats up that year are in either solid conservative states or battleground states. With a Democrat in the White House, I think the House will flip and the Republicans will keep the senate, probably expanding their representation there.

    Just the way things go when a new party moves into the top spot.

    I think it was only a few thousand votes, and the state told them their votes would count, otherwise they would have went in in person

    a republican government can not tell democrat voters their votes will count, and then as they are losing change their mind''

    that said, it's not enough votes to change the election

    maybe if they do invalidate them, have them send a letter to each of those voters telling them why they rejected them, that way they can go on the news and say they were denied their right to vote

    My understanding is that they were already doing that and the count was still for Biden.
    I do suspect that if some right wing hack like Alito tried to throw the election to trump by disenfranchising voters, the country would explode now.

    Remember the reaction of the left when Trump won the presidency? It never ended either so I would hold off on calling people sour.

    I disagree with nationalism, and the points of view that 'American Nationalist' holds, but c'mon you've gotta agree that it's funny how America conducts itself.
    It is a bit of light relief for us ruled by the genuine Prince of Darkness Boris Johnson.
    I love it the way Americans throw around terms like 'fascist' and 'socialist' and 'left' and 'right' and 'democracy' as if they know what those words mean, and the conspiracy theories are genuinely hilarious, but topped by the religious nutters.
    I have visited America once and loved it, the people I met were truly wonderful, but hidden deep in the heart of America you have all this lunacy.
    It's brilliant.
    Please can you have an election every year to keep the world entertained?

    The Presidency is increasingly a puppet position at any rate without a healthy congress, so you can put anyone there and it makes naught a difference in the long run.

    No, they don't. It will just go to show posterity once the Husseins and Kamalas came into power and the country was flooded with third worlders it fell apart. Pretty easy to connect those dots.

    And to think, all he had to do was behave, well, like a president. Show some decorum and respect. Not constantly be a whiny little BITCH. But he couldn't do it. The man has the maturity of a pre-teen. If we had been smart and nominated Cruz we'd be sailing into a second republican term. But no, we went the nuclear route. Nominated the most vile, self centered, unqualified buffoon in US history. And now here we are. I'd say were damn lucky to not have completely lost congress.

    Well well well, we have a British friend :) I've never seen you around the forums so here's a heartfelt welcome. Despite disagreeing with me, that's life and we can't be expected to agree on everything with everyone. I wish I were a British citizen, because I could easily be a card carrying member of the UKIP and argue for the rise of the Empire once again.

    Watch how many posters disappear. Such is the life of a RW Think Tank Employee. You are paid to be a BASTARD and fight for the win, regardless of humanity, or even considering policy. MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$

    We do understand that it was not Trump the left hated. They hated the people who supported Trump.

    Now the left is making "a list" of people to publicly crucify. That is fascism.

    Ahh, the irony... George Bailey (It's a Wonderful Life) has a pivotal scene where he WELCOMES Mr. Martini, an immigrant, into the home
    that Bailey helped finance.

    Whatever, dude.

    An American called Gore Vidal wrote:

    “There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

    And you're all getting your knickers in a twist over this election, when it is one terrible self serving party ousted by another (slightly less terrible at the moment) one.
    For goodness sake, you only have to wait for four years to have Kanye West in charge, what's the problem?

    Does anyone think that Trump will graciously concede and congratulate Biden?

    Nope. Pretty much just disliked Trump. He was a terrible emissary for Republican ideas.
