Unless the trend changes, it really does look like that Arizona lead is going to be erased. Whether it ends up slightly on one side or the other is a tough call, but it's looking very Georgia-esque in terms of the margin. Again, unless the trend of the last few batches starts going more Biden's way.

Hey, Biden just added to his lead by another 2,800 votes, now almost 20,000 in PA.

It's a good thing it doesn't matter with GA and PA likely finishing blue.

Winning PA alone would give Biden the presidency. GA would just be icing on the cake.

I’m pretty sure people could’ve made money betting against your calls the last few days though, so I’m gonna assume Arizona holds.

Sure, but 306 would be nice, and it would be even nicer to get this done. If Nevada is done, then at least AP and Fox end up calling it, but that won't happen unless something changes with the Arizona trendline.

I just hope his creditors come after his assets and the law comes after him for everything else as soon as he's out of office. I don't expect his mark on American culture and politics to fade quickly though.

My problem with Biden getting everyone back to normalcy is I really believe that with social media being such a big part of our lives, and having such a massive influence over politics and our political views, that we will still continue being outraged over everything.

2012/2013 the recommendation feature went live on social media (YouTube, Facebook), 2014-2015 Trump comes on the scene, and suddenly we have Trumpism and extreme partisanship with no room for proper discourse.

If you start tracking stuff back, there are some direct links between those things.

And we've had it easy here. Social media has played some pretty big roles in genocide in Myanmar, and definitely helps drive religious violence in the Middle East or even India.

My point being that even if Trump is gone, the next 'Trump' can very easily start driving the outrage yet again.

How much of this stupid election fraud is being driven on social media?

And I say that as someone who 100% believes that the media is complicit in a lot of ##### that our governments pull because of their inability to show proper dissidence whether due to the corporate overlords, or simply being terrible media companies.

I wonder if Barr has COVID-19 symptoms and thus has been out of the spotlight now for about 2 weeks.

C'mon already... this is like waiting for the final seconds to tick down when the Raptors won the NBA Championship last year.

I'm looking forward to the victory gifs when this becomes official

Tucker just came on Fox, I turned it off obviously but his opener got out before I did. It was, "Who exactly is Joe Biden, this man who claims to be our president? We don't know. No one has made him tell us."

... Who the hell buys this crap? I know, that's rhetorical, but Jesus ####ing Christ.
