interestingly, if everything concludes as they stand right now it's Biden 306 / 232 Trump

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

 

- Biden

 

Feels good to know that a human being is going to be back in charge.

Thank Christ. Now watch as Trump tries every trick in the book to cry "election fraud!"

Of course, the Republican states he won? Oh they're absolutely fine. It's just the ones he lost in that he cares about.

He really comes across as such a sore loser. I hope they throw all his ridiculous, pointless, time-wasting court cases out. The margins are way too large in some states to claim fraud.

freitasm: America still has a problem with militarised police, systemic racism, lack of healthcare, distrust in science and economic imbalance

Trump made all this worse.

Hopefully Joe will go some way (as much as he can) towards sorting it out. I think at the top of his to-do list though is coronavirus. Already the morons over at Breitbart are panicking, with headlines that he's going to make you wear a mask at home. Really? I don't remember Jacinda telling us to do that.

If Biden did nothing in the next 4 years, then the US is the winner. Going nowhere is better than going backwards on many fronts.

Joe will do what he can, they will at least gain some calm nationally and globally. 

Hopefully Joe Biden will clean out all the Trumps nepotistic people and reinstate all the government Watchdog/Oversight apparatus.

Unless the Dems can control the Senate his administration can achieve very little. And in that case if he's still alive in 4 years time I doubt he would win a second term so the US will swing back to Republican again with another Trumpian style leader. Back to square one.

I think the one hope is Harris. If she has the personality and drive she could make a difference and be a viable contender in 4 years time.

But nobody, Democrat or Republican can make much difference long term. The problems run generations deep and cannot be fixed. Take the BLM  or the MeToo movements as examples. Huge support and publicity and nothing significant is going to change.

The US is too diverse and is heading for a USSR type breakup.

Doesnt matter. We now have a POTUS who is not a liar, abuser, and troublemaker and causer nationally and globally. Attitude matters, and it starts at the top

Dont see any riots going on, just celebrations everywhere, normality has begun to start.
