I mean he’s done a hell of a lot, just most of it has been a net global negative

Yeah the hypothetical of what this would have looked like without Covid is actually mind-blowing.
Biden is still 2/1. I don't know enough about US Politcs to know why, but everything I've read seems to suggest he should be the favourite from here when you consider the outstanding votes that need counting.
Scores on the doors?
Biden 227-213 Trump
Wisconsin swinging back to Biden as the votes are counted.
What Trump does is he makes a large section of the population feel extremely happy, something that I definitely underestimated.
"Free Money" has to be the most dangerous phrase ever.
How much are you in for Kik's?
£110 on Biden.
Biden odds on for first time in about 8hrs...
It's nearly crossed over again now ffs.
A narrow Biden win is probably at the optimum popcorn/avoiding apocalypse balance so well played all-round
No clue what is going to happen but everyone is aware MI, PA, an WI are all waiting on early votes to be counted because state legislatures required that vote to be counted day of and after in person. So it could swing quite a bit. GA is all Atlanta and NC is early votes that arrive the next couple days. And here in AZ there is still lots of early vote to count.
If Trump loses it is a big repudiation of just him; down ballot R’s have not lost much and even gained a bit in the House. We are just a heavily geographically sorted country that is really polarized and people don’t care very much about all this. So R’s come home because they don’t see how it all affects their lives and they are mostly not wrong.
It invalidates the shy Trump thing a bit to me. I get being shy about it in say New York but here in Phoenix? Until Trump showed up R’s hadn’t lost a statewide race for over 20 years.
We're back on
What I live for is David Lammy taking to twitter (he still very much 'takes to twitter') and making pompous statements at times like this. Thanks David, now I wonder what the Socialist MP for Bremen South thinks, or maybe the En Marche MP for La Rochelle West, someone of far more global importance than you.
I got on Biden at 2.54
Biden favourite for the first time in hours.
Joe's won it imo, although I should preface this with saying I am also in the office quoting people up for conrod bearings atm so who knows
The bookies really shat the bed after that Florida result. Trump may still win, but Biden's price had no right being the best part of 4/1.
What are the bookies offering for President Kanye? Astonishing racism that he's barely being discussed here.
Him not being on the ballot in the majority of the states because he didn't submit on time might be the big issue there.
Anyone voting for him wants gassing.
I've just Googled and apparently he got nearly 60,000 votes. Fuck's sake.
Is this the longest election in history?
In a Trump-Kanye two party election I reckon I'd be out there selling the MAGA hats and the orange face paint.
How do you run against an incumbent idiot and do this badly?
Out of interest Jimmy why do you think Trump would be better for the UK?
Than Kanye West?
In hindsight, this. I've been following this guy who was pretty confident all night that the market was being daft and is probably on at some of the best prices. Kind of thing that if you prepare for you'll make a killing.
Alright, I'm up. Give me the rundown lads.
Go get a gun, Seattle is burning as we speak.
One of the two geriatric white dudes is gonna win.
EDIT: Well, 'white' is perhaps not exactly the right term for Trump.
West is more obviously deranged, at least Trump is predictably self centred.
IF Biden wins this. Is Trump's claims of fraud an attempt to hang on the the presidency regardless, which he will them pursue through the courts as much and for as long as possible? Or simply him saving face?
It is just what Trump does.
He's clearly laying the groundwork for a defeat, if he wins he can simply brag about doing it against the odds. Somehow his support doesn't see this for the little bitch move that it is, or care that it makes their country look even more like a tin pot shit hole than the last four years have.
Have no fear, Joe has won it.
Biden massive favourite now.
Has somewhere else announced or updated the position?
1.38 for Biden now. Tempted to cash out for a cool £75 profit.
