In the race the Democrat was leading, the Republican candidate had a history of minor (local) scandals, and only held the seat because she was appointed to it.
It sounds like what you're saying is that you'll vote for any Republican that leans Democrat.
> I have yet to see any good faith efforts to govern on the part of Republicans
That sounds super partisan.
> Republican's primary purpose in life is to grab more power
At this point, I've heard both parties say that about the other.
Frum basically says that after the Obama election, republican strategists sat down to decide on whether to shift the platform to changing demographics in America or to double down and declare all out war. They chose the latter.
Specifically what are you afraid of?
>In my option the dismal showing for dems in the congress and many state legislatures and governors and trumps loss is a repudiation for the toxic rhetoric from both groups.
Can you give me some examples of the toxic rhetoric you see from congressional democrats?

What do you think they intend to do with those lists?
The only thing we have now is the bungling twat and the gremlin pulling the strings that are running this shit show are getting their options radically limited. Hopefully there will be an internal revolt against them.
The lawsuits and potential recounts are a separate process which are unaffected by the projections made by media outlets.
That said, it looks like the Trump campaign would have to flip three states to win, which seems unlikely.
edit: I was wrong. Headline is accurate.
This belongs here. Trump's win was discussed here. This should be too.
A Biden Harris presidency has major ramifications for basically every industry and company discussed here.
Dang Will likely merge the various posts about this.
Edit: Looks like even a simple statement of fact on this topic gets downvoters. Anyone care to state their reasons?
Madame President
America has many systematic and cultural problems, and a deep divide about how it ought to be governed, and by who. Ultimately, though, a slim majority of voting Americans were not willing to tolerate the level of severe mismanagement of government that Donald Trump delivered, particularly over the last year with regards to coronavirus.
I think this says much less about us - good or bad - than we'd like it to. Personally, I am relieved, but I know the societal problems in this country will continue. I wish Joe Biden and Kamala Harris good luck, but I am not going to be cutting them a break, either.
We still have to decide what sort of country we want to be.
This is not a solid or mandate win by any means I do not believe. Not gaining the senate, not getting a supermajority in house, these were things that would've said the American people outright rejected trump. While we have a new president in the Whitehouse the country could potential be deadlocked for the next 2-4 years.
