    I'm not really encouraged by Biden's mental capacity to remember things. I fear if he wins he will open up his inauguration speech by saying something like ' I'm so proud to be the new president of the united counties of west Dorchester'.


    We have to give him the benefit of the doubt that he will delegate and make appointments that are appropriate and qualified. Biden will not micro manage like Trump. Trump was totally unprepared 4 years ago and had not transition tream in place. At least Biden would 'hit the ground running'.

    Let's not forget Trump and Biden are well into their 70s and have had a pretty tough full on 12-18 months.

    The 1920's just called and wants it's terminology back from you.

    Martin Luther King jr was interviewed on BBC 1 this morning and he used the term blacks.

    Really tiresome when white people get all prickly about racial issues on other people's behalf.

    The usual Trumpist suspects aren't whooping and hollering like they were 2 hours ago on here!

    at this point it could go either way, nobody should be whooping and hollering just yet.

    Biden looked down and out.

    Now fighting.

    So many twists and turns. Fingers crossed Biden gets over line now

    If my mother tongue is shaking the foundations of your state, it probably means you built your state on my land.

    There will definitely be more trouble if Trump wins - many thousands of people will continue dying of coronavirus

    A Biden win means the end of the pandemic. You heard it here first.

    Can he hold on ?

    According to my calcs, in Michigan there's been 4.64m votes counted, which is 83% of the votes. 2.35m for Trump, 2.29m for Biden, so about 60k votes in it.

    If only 83% of the vote has been counted at 4.64m votes, there's another 950k votes to be counted, much of which is due from Dem-leaning areas and from mail-in ballots which have been skewing towards Dems all night.

    It could be very close, but looks like it could go for Biden.

    But WI "only" has 10 EC votes. PA has 20 and GA has 16, and Trump is leading in both those areas. I don't know how Biden will do it if Trump takes PA and GA?
    Biden wins Pennsylvania by about 130k votes. That's based on the fact that 880k of those votes left are in strongly blue areas and that mail ins are working heavily in favour of Biden.
    It's looking like Trump will get less than 300k of the 1.4 million remaining, leaving Biden with a win by somewhere in the region of 130k.

    Depending on your tone and context black people can be made as pejorative as the n-word.
    While I agree it doesn't belong in a proper academic vocabulary, in common use it is pejorative only if the one that utters it really intends it to be. I'm not moving into that estate, too many blacks - racist. Blacks and whites are all equal - not racist.
    Also as per my second post, calling them African American is actually really racist.
    Wait, what? African American is now a racist term? When did this happen?

    Just an observation that there was a lot of celebrating by the Trumpists and talk of "suck it up libs" 3 hours ago. Gone very quiet and yes it could still go either way.

    In fairness that was one or two people only and a load of brand new re-reg troll accounts.

    Most people, either side, have been fairly level headed.

    Yeh, its sounds like something a time traveler from the 1950s might use.


    They used far worse terminology in the 1920s and 1950s.

    I bet you are a 24 year old arts or social scientce graduate and going to save the world. Good look with that. Naive.

    I would tend to concur. Thread has been very good on balance (from all leanings / persuasions / affiliations) and well done to everyone who has contributed to that. Always going to be some people who break the rules, but other than them, its a strong discussion.

    Wisconsin could be vital. Michigan is going blue way too fast for Trump to hold on.

    But Biden had gone 0.4 up in Wisconsin only for Trump to claw it back to 0.2.
