    Biden's likely to win big so people will accept it, why wouldn't they unless they just don't believe in democracy.

    I don't think he will win big.

    If Trump wins, riots continue and Democrats that still haven't accept Hillary's loss will fight him and Republicans at every corner.
    Trump will withhold aid for the cities torn apart by the riots and they will end up like Detroit.
    There could be a D-promoted civil war. We have already seen NFA marching armed and disciplined. NFA wants Texas as a non-white state (South Africa anyone?) and they have the guns to try and take it.

    If Biden wins the riots will continue but I doubt there will be further political violence.

    Whoever wins needs to do it decisively, by a large majority. There can be no ambiguity or either side will claim victory.

    Think it all goes a little deeper than that. If President Trump is re-elected I would hope folks can accept it. But I would also hope they absolutely hold him to any promises he has made on the campaign trail, or lack thereof. Right now there have been no solid policies coming out of the WH for this campaign. He does have some thing under his belt around the middle east, but those are not as big as some folks think. His promises pre election in 2016 have at best been fulfilled to maybe 10% His healthcare policy to replace the ACA has been coming for two weeks since he came to office. His wall, which he used funding designated to the Pentagon to get done is falling down. His handling of Covid when compared to places New Zealand and even here has been at best erratic, and at worst negligent. He now has a political life to defend, some of which included employing folks who have gone on to be indicted, tried and convicted. The party he ran for, while keeping up appearances are putting things in place to distance themselves as far away as they can come the results of the election. Most folks seem to see this as a left or right thing. Realistically it's not. It's more of a are you a decent person thing. Neighbours to help each other out and all. Maybe I'm too much of a (to steal the rest of the lyrics from John Lennon) dreamer. But I know folks who are caught up in a lot of this and they are really worried for the outcome of this election. Hell, they're worried about going to vote, not only with the virus, but with the potential for armed folks being outside their polling station. If this was any other country in the world the UN would be asking to send in poll watchers.

    Democracy! In America!

    Biden to win I'd say, but it 'll be extremely close, but not much will change in the grand scheme of things, countries in serious trouble, gonna take a lot more than an administration change, for things to change there

    Some people seem to be blissfully ignorant of which side has caused most of the domestic terrorism in the USA and brought out the guns because the hairdressers wasn't open.

    There's only truly one side in American politics, but with two factions

    People who wish to cause violence will find an excuse to do so in any case, regardless of who wins or doesn’t.

    Personally, I think Trunp has it in the bag again, not because I care enough about American politics to support either candidate, but simply because the Office of the President of the US has become something of a running joke at this stage which nobody can honestly take seriously.

    It’s as though either side of a two party system is more interested in playing the victim and pissing the other side off, than doing what they believe is necessarily in the best interests of the country and its people.

    Either one of them gets elected or doesn’t get elected there’s gonna be riots and looting and making sure their economy doesn’t stand a snowballs chance in hell of recovery. Jeff Bezos will make another few billion out of it though.

    I think Biko is referring to the NFAC.
    They're a little known black militia. So little known that Biko doesn't know their name, but he's convinced that they could start a civil war and may take Texas.

    Biko hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

    If Biden wins race relations will vastly improve, use of fossil fuels will decline rapidly, unemployment and poverty will melt away, guns will be banned, every major movie franchise will be re shot frame for frame using ethnic minority actors, social media monopolies will stop censoring political content, pussy grabbing will plummet while kid sniffing soars.

    No, it's the National Futures Association. They're going to issue OTC derivatives to short Texas with the ultimate aim of owning it

    Trump wins -
    The democrat voters go into meltdown, twitter goes mad, riots, lootings , protests, a renewed democratic effort to brand him a fascist.

    Biden wins -
    A small fringe conspires to say that the election was rigged, trump peacefully leaves office but says some crazy things on twitter, returns to trump tower and ghost writes another book.

    If Biden seems to have just scraped a win the militias will be out in places like Michigan, one of these groups will take a senior Democrat hostage and demand a recount.

    If Biden wins I expect some level of political violence. Proud Boys and other armed militias will take to the streets.

    Should Trump win I expect there'll be riots in certain cities which Trump will point to and say "I told you so."

    Biden needs to win big.

    It's comedy. You'd be forgiven for missing that because it's not even slightly humorous.

    If Biden wins, Trump will call foul, and then the Proud Boys will be out shooting up everything.
    If Trump wins, he will feel validated for everything he's done and then the Proud Boys will be out shooting up everything.

    My guess is that he will "get ill" or "get clinton-ed" and then the Dems get their female president of colour.
