My point was that the US is more like 50 different countries (with how autonomous our states are at least in theory if not in practice) than say comparing to France where its more provincial with much less autonomy. It goes back to our Founding. Each colony was basically its own country when we declared independence and they joined in a loose Confederation to throw off the Crown. You can't compare that to France. It's bizarre.

Nate Cohn says that Biden should actually be leading in every state right now sans NC. The absentee city ballots are really going to push Biden over the top.

We know, that the states in US are more independent than counties in france or in Germany.
But they are WAY WAY less independent than EU countries. So your comparison is even more bizarre

He's talking constitutional theory. The United States is, theoretically, exactly what the name implies. Sovereign states cooperating for the common good on suprastate matters. It's not actually, of course, but Wegandi is a constitutionalist.

I went to go play some games with friends to take my mind off things but yeah this is incredible. So much for sleep.
If this is what is gonna happen with PA and MI, it's really gonna be an awakening for Republicans tomorrow morning.

Biden up by 11k votes

So what's the consensus? Biden squeaks through but doesn't get the senate?
|
Whatever the eventual outcome, it's clear the battle for the soul of the nation has been lost.
It is beyond belief that things are still this close four years later.

Still too close to call. Georgia stopped counting for the night. They'll let us know in the morning. NYT is projecting that Atlanta is going to flip the state but Trump is currently ahead.
If Georgia flips and Wisconsin holds the line then Biden wins.
If Georgia doesn't flip then Biden needs to pick up either MI or PA.

Yup. It s sad.
How after 4 years of US shitshow half of them think Trump is a viable option is mind blowing.
I get it, that Biden isn t the strongest candidate, but that it s so close is just sad.

Can Biden win GA and NC?
Also, if Biden wins it all, are we looking at armed conflicts?

So Biden needs 2 out of those 4?

Frankly, what I care most right now is not to see Trump's ugly face and hear his awful voice every time I open the news because of the dreadful things he has done and said in the last six hours every day for the next four years. The ocean toxicity he spread is something the world can do without.

I wonder which outlet has the most accurate Wisconsin results. NPR has Biden's lead at around 8k-9k. CNN has it around 10k-11k. Tweets about Decision Desk's numbers put it at maybe 20k or 30k.
|
WI is still super close even with Biden ahead by 11k. With Milwaukee basicly being reported now the areas who aren't done reporting are all Republican leaning. Smaller by population for sure and if it's still mail-in votes they're probably leaning more towards Biden even there but 11k is not a lot:

(the votes missing in Brown county are "early votes", whatever that means)

This is completely untrue tho. EU doesn't have a president who directly impacts our lives by forcefully implementing good or bad changes. Every country in the EU is completely their own, unlike states who are just kinda their own-but not really. Trying to pretend US isn't a country, but works more like a combination of countries, is disingenuous.

Yes, plus NV and AZ which I assumed he'd have.
