An amazing speech from Joe Biden, spoken like a true president. 
2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

The result as it stands will only entrench urban v. rural viewpoints - sure there is crossover, but I see no softening over the stances of each side.
That's the stuff, take AZ out of the equation.
He is paid to be. All a part of the entertainment.
You'll probably have to wait a long time, unfortunately.
I thought he was OK to be honest. He explained quite clearly what justification the Trump campaign will use.
Worried about the 'oppoents are not the enemies' part.
Nearly 50% voted for Trump. They bought into the cult. The Republicans in the Senate are going to do everything they can to refuse to work with Biden. He's going to get nothing done and that'll cost them in two years and definitely in four.
Meanwhile I bet he lets Trump off the hook for everything. Trump getting off will turn away so many Dem voters and make everyone on the right give up completely on the idea on playing by the rules, ever, because they always get away with it.

CNN projects Michigan goes to Biden.
253-213.
Just needs Nevada and Arizona.

The way Biden spoke just then it sounds like they think they've got AZ in the bag.
Starting to see more of it in local elections. It’s as phony as god on the money & in the pledge. Those only started in the 50s. Only a matter of time, but not on the horizon just yet.
Perhaps that’s the distinction
I'm going to fcuking smash that board off john kings head. USELESS
State of New York probably won’t let him off. Agree on the national absolving of Trump though.
I wasn’t looking for an argument. Just sharing my feelings. I can’t deny I’m down the rabbit hole and do watch Box Clues (amongst others) but certainly steer clear of FB, Twitter and other platforms that some have mentioned.
Mocking responses were expected and taken well. Post of the year apparently. I’ll take that
Sad state of affairs for US though regardless of which party you support. It’s so close with total popular vote at 50% Biden and 48% Trump so it’s gonna end with many millions of people feeling disillusioned - not only with the outcome, but how they get there. The narrative now seems to be “all votes should be counted” VS “mail voting is fixed”
It won’t end well, or quickly unfortunately.
Biden just broke the record for most votes won by any presidential candidate with over 70 million
It’s a bit like Dustin Hoffman is directing the reporting of ballots like he directed the war in ‘Wag the Dog,’ playing it out for maximum drama.
Nice to finally hear an American President sound Presidential. Feels like an eternity since it last happened.
From earlier today.
While you are active here - the point about the Nobel nomination is horse shit. Anyone can nominate anyone and the guy who nominated Trump is a far right moron who most Norwegians just laugh at.
This troglodyte has 44% approval rating. You couldn’t prosecute Tricky Dick when he was at 23%.
There’s no justice in this world, he and his spawns will get away scot free because the cost of doing the right thing is too dear.
Kudos for taking it well.
But I find it baffling that "all votes should be counted" can be a controversial position in any way or form. That really should not be a partisan issue.
They can’t even read Dutch, they’re all off their heads on prescription drugs and smack.
Admittedly, when Trump is the comparison, almost anyone can sound more presidential. Still good though
The best part about Biden winning is the end of these nasty politics brought to you by Trump. GOP will cut the Trump ties off the moment he loses it officially.
Looking at facts, interacting with different people, podcasts. not really listening to news. Every single outlet leans heavily left and then you have Fox who lean right. Can't really get unbiased news.
3 million vote difference is not particularly close.
I would entertain finding other information sources if I were you. You don’t seem that completely ignorant, you are just misguided on many things. There’s plenty out there that don’t fall in either echo chamber camps.
No worries though, we should begin to repair the damage caused by Trump soon enough.
It’s only one side that will ensure this doesn’t remain peaceful or end well.
I dont know about that mate. GOP has increased their voter numbers under Trump.
Google "gott mit uns" and have a look at the nazi's belt buckles.
Ah yes, the best source for the truth
That's a pipedream. Trump is a culmination of things, not merely a maverick outlier. And he can point to the massive support he garnered in this election. He increased his voting base after all.
No, Trumpism is here to stay.
The final tally will be closer to 52-48. There are roughly 10m votes left in blue states being counted, which ironically Trump doesn’t seem to care about.
That’s as incorrect a statement as trickle down economics works. There’s substantially more right wing sources of information on every media platform than left wing.
regardless of who is in charge I would prefer if the troops were in the USA and not sent to meddle on foreign soil
We don't use prescription drugs here, just proper drugs
New York State doesn’t have the same restrictions or incentives to not go after him. They have stated as much. The AG & SDNY are well known for their independence, especially the SDNY (once it’s purged of remaining Trump acolytes).
I agree that Biden won’t go after Trump.
Biden is far from the most inspiring of politicians but it was kinda nice hearing an adult speaking for America just then.
Just literally basic stuff like people needing to care for each other and listen to each other. And saying he’ll be the president of all the American people. Shouldn’t be a breath of fresh air but it is.
Very clever strategy. Presidential speech. Contrasting with the man child tweeting. Immediately reminded you of what normal looks like.
