    So it's over. Let's support Biden and hope he can start to heal this country. Although, I am of the opinion that the president isn't the problem. He's just a symptom of the real cancer that is social media and tabloid news.

    I think the Republicans did fairly well this year and they should be satisfied with the election. Trump is done. Don't know how much Biden can do to heal the country... probably not much, but maybe more than Trump. We'll see, let's hope for he best.

    I remember that, during Reagan and Clinton administration, the US was feared by some, loved by some, but respected by almost everyone in the world. I'm not sure that's the case now, starting with the weak answer to the pandemic, plus a host of other (international) issues. Biden has a ton of international experience, starting in the 90s when he was a major factor, together with Dole and Liebermann, to stop the war in Bosnia and push for the prosecution of war criminals. He showed then that he can work with the people from both sides of the aisle and I hope he is still the same guy.

    Can you imagine Biden at the UN meetings or NATO meetings alongside other countries' presidents. He would look WEAK AF. Internationally the perception of the US IMO takes a huge hit, if that matters to you.

    Internally, I still trust in the Constitution of the US and the Senate/House/ Supreme Court and the execution of its nation's principles to keep Biden's authority and power in check if he wins. I still believe in the people of the United States.

    What makes America a great nation is the voice of the people being heard (Even if they're wrong). Now that we have heard it through the voting process I think both sides need to respect it and continue with the process for the next election.


    I will accept the election results whichever way it goes and I also want people to hold Biden and his crew accountable to execute our Constitution correctly.

    One good thing that can come out of this is ending this stupid lockdown and slowly re-opening the country. We know it was done all along so its easier to vote and counter "voter suppression" or whatever the hell the newspeak and new terms the Left come up with to constantly change the truth for their selfish agendas.

    Florida, South Dakota, Texas look exemplary is how they counted their votes. The rest of the states can learn from their model on how to efficiently count the votes quickly and process the ballots.

    If you want more election integrity. Run it through the process. BOOM. This is the way to address it

    Kamala Harris will be president within a year or so. No way Biden goes the full 4. Can you imagine Putin right now? He's licking his chops knowing the leader of his main adversary is a senile old man. While Trump isn't the smartest tool in the shed, at least Putin had to be cautious around him because you don't mess with crazy people. :D

    sure, i'm all for protecting election integrity

    but "election integrity" according to trump and his followers the last few days has basically meant "a vote for trump=legal vote, a vote for biden=illegal vote"

    Heard Putin is having serious health issues. He may have problems of his own to deal with. Let's see how those Russians go about it.

    I think a large amount of frustration came from when results from counting stopped at 11.30 PM EST Nov. 3 in many swing states and they said they will pick up tallying the next day. If there is a gap in counting of votes instead of continually doing it that does bring some questions in there. While the votes were coming in ON ELECTION DAY NOV.3 EVENING, Trump was ahead around in those swing states at 11.30 PM EST and then they just stopped. Can there be a fraud or maneuvering involved? Probably a little bit but not a whole lot to sway the entire election IMO.


    I'm a school teacher who teaches students simultaneously online and in person. I know for a fact that my students in person will mostly abide by my rules I give them because I am watching them and keeping them accountable and making sure they finish the test ON TEST DAY ON TIME. If an online student says sorry I couldn't upload the test ON TIME citing internet issues or domestic interruptions and uploads it about 1 hour later than when the test ended or even 1 day later, of course I am going to question what happened and how he answered the questions correctly. I'm going to question did they consult other students for help? Did they look at the book, notes, internet? There's no accountability. There's no one watching the online students at home and that seems to be the case in this election...there is *minimal* accountability and not enough steps taken to legitimatize and make sure a legal vote is cast correctly and collected on time ON ELECTION DAY.

    This mail in voting process is supposed to be used for dire emergency situations and the Coronavirus was wielded for political gain.

    In any case good luck to Biden. He's going to need it. You give socialists/marxists/radicals an inch they're going to take a mile and there's no appeasing them.

    trump was ahead in those states because they counted the votes cast in-person (predominantly by GOP voters) first and then began counting the mail-ins. they would've already been able to process those mail-in ballots and start counting them before election day but GOP bodies in those states passed legislation barring them from doing so. so that's why you've been having delays

    there's simply been no evidence of the types of voter fraud trump and the right have been crying about. mail-in ballots on or before nov. 3 are legally cast ballots, it's that simple. there's been no evidence of people voting after election day, trump votes not being counted, etc.

    haha, biden is no socialist my friend. far from it. look at biden's record and tell me what screams socialism to you. biden is a centrist democrat who beat out all the other dem candidates who are left of center. he's most likely even going to bring in some republicans to join his administration

    Oh, young(er) Biden was quite hawk-ish actually. Watch this:

    https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4893071/user-clip-biden-bosnia

    He's probably not the same man anymore, since he's old, but he used to be very tough on foreign relations. Also, Biden and "socialist" (let alone "Marxist") do not belong in the same sentence. He belongs to the group of old-school centrist democrats.

    Putin is a former KGB officer and a cold-blooded killer. He has no fear of Trump at all. None whatsoever. Dealing with the mobsters and the oligarchs in Russia and keeping them under control is much more difficult than talking to Trump. He has been "licking his chops" and spreading his influence for a long, long time now.

    Should be interesting to see how the media coverage changes now with Biden in office. I tend to agree he won’t finish the term as President.

    if he’s already making incoherent speeches, what will the stress of Presidency do to take a toll on him? I don’t know much about Harris.

    Both candidates are realistically too old for the job. It’s a tough job, very stressful and probably ideal for someone who is experienced enough, but also young enough to deal with those everday challenges. Someone in their 50s would be ideal. Like Biden circa 1995. Too bad that was 25 years ago. Both parties really have to start grooming/mentoring some young people for the job.

    Biden is an extension of Harris who is extremely left of center.

    I'm not saying there is massive fraud like Trump claimps but there are irregularities here and there and the election process does need to improve. There are gaping holes.

    I think Rs and Conservatives will voice their displeasure and ultimately accept the result.

    I don't know much about US politics, but considering the numerous referrences to our neighbor I can tell you one thing for sure - Putin couldn't be more happy with Trump's presidency.

    Kamala is left of left and keep going down the road. She becomes president (2 years is my prediction) and we are screwed.

    You guys are pessimistic about Biden. Give him a chance, he’s old but not ancient. My father is older than Biden and he’s doing just fine, lol. 78 is the new 68. :)
