    it's looking like a biden 306 electoral vote win. kinda annoyed it's a comfortable lead, that will only embolden the democratic establishment.

      I kind of feel like any result would. They're already complaining that the Squad and "defund the police" cost them seats in the House. And the media seem to be going along with it, as somehow 2016 didn't shake their belief that the key to winning elections is to be as boring, centrist and well-connected as possible.

      It's kind of interesting that Biden is going to win by exactly the same EV margin as Trump did though. Well, probably - it looks like Trump may still have a decent shot at flipping Arizona, but everything else seems fairly certain now.

        The democrats reponse to litterally any kind of electoral backlash is "we gotta get more racist". It can hardly be overstated just how unimportant their opinions are at the current moment.

        not for president. only senate and house races in some states will go to runoffs.

        Runoffs are normal in Russia/France/South America, but in the US they're only done in some weird minor elections in like Louisiana and Georgia. There might be recounts if it's close though, but AFAIK the Trump campaign has to pay for them.
