70m Americans disagree with you, many working class Black and Hispanic people voted for Trump. Biden/Harris will be every bit as divisive socially as Trump. Despite a relentless campaign by the political elite, MSM, Social Media, Multi Nationals and Academia to brand him a 21st century Hitler and anyone who voted for him an uneducated racist he almost hung on.

By your own calculation, that means more than 70 million agree with me... Its not really about American politics for me, but its significance is that it signals the beginning of the end for the far right regimes here in Europe in particular. That can only be a good thing for anyone who cares about and has empathy for human beings who are less well off in all aspects of life. These people entirely disposable for the likes of Trump, Johnson, Cummings et al. Goodbye Donald - you won't be missed.

Since we're going for extremely simplified football analogies now, here's an alternative one:
If Cardiff were winning 4-0 and my mate says "don't forget this is the second game of a two legged tie and the other team mailed, sorry, scored 5 goals a week ago so we're actually losing 5-4" would you wonder where these mysterious goals had just appeared from?

The ballots being counted at the moment aren't ballots that have come in 'late'. They are mail in ballots that were received in good time. They would have ALL been counted by now, but in some states (e.g.Pennsylvania, Wisconsin) republican legislators did not allow mail-in ballots to be counted early.
As a result Trump can now spew bollocks about these mysterious 'late' mail in ballots coming out of nowhere when it's his own party that have caused this mess. Trump himself has been saying for weeks that his supporters shouldn't vote via mail in because it's prone to fraud, so it's hardly a surprise that these mail in ballots are predominantly Biden too, but again Trump has twisted it into a conspiracy.

been saying for weeks { its years actually } that mail in ballots are prone to fraud... correct..
its plain and clear what he thought and thinks...not sure where the twist is ?
maybe had the Biden people also encouraged voters turn up in person this wouldnt be happening ..?

Why do they need to stop the count only where trump is winning?
The question has to be asked why in Philadelphia did it require a judge order to allow republicans onsite to monitor the vote counting from closer than the 100 yards which the Democrat count process team were allowing them?
The judge originally told them to figure it out and come back, both sides were too childish to do so.
And who is too blame there, those who were not allowing the rules that both parties agreed to or those who have challenged them on that and had to take a legal route to enforce the other side plays by those rules?
They agreed to & followed the rules until it was looking like they might lose if counting continued then they wanted to move closer, why?
There are so many aspects to these results that need answers, Trump has fought against the machine for 5 years, he's not going to let himself be cheated from a second term at the death.
Everyone but trump's family & very closest friends are distancing themselves from him, why?
If the democrats were smart and innocent the best thing they can do is let the legal challenges come. If they've won fairly they've nothing to hide and it will make Trump look like a poor loser.
They have & he does, even the real fox news reporters are saying so.

Sorry I missed you post didnt realise you had responded (was hard to spot as was all in one quote)
With respect a lot of what you say furthers my point.
If things are done by the book in a close election the democrats have nothing to fear then there is nothing to see all good.
Equally, Trump has every right to challenge what he sees as discrepancies 10K out of state voters in Nevada, dead people voting in Arizona (i may have the states mixes up but you get the point) in an election this close each and every possible case of voter fraud should be investigated.
Just for clarity as well, as it is widely misinterpreted, Trump's call for stopping the count wasn't 'stop thats it, we're done' it was more like 'stop counting until there can be verification on both sides in line with US law.'
This shouldn't be controversial and to be clear it is my belief it needs to be applied on both sides in equal fairness. Again, if there was no wrong doing, then there is no harm in making sure all these procedures were adhered to.
To be honest the fact that the republicans held the senate and made ground in the house (as far as I am aware) means I'm less fearful of the damage Harris can do now - I honestly believe Biden will be gone before the end of 2021, probably via the 25th ammendment, but i still firmly believe the world is a more danagerous place with a Harris/Biden government than a Trump/Pence one.
I doubt the peace accords in the middle East will last now, but if they do after all the furore dies down, these we'll be the true legacy of a truly remarkable president.
Equally, the ideas of liberty and self-empowerment that Trump instilled in many, many Americans and the breaking of the strangle hold the Democrats had over black and Hispanic voters will have a long impact far beyond the next four years.
If as is looking increasingly likely Trump is a one term president, history will look at him far kinder than the modern hacks that pass for journalists ever did.

Why should Biden have encouraged people to use in person voting instead of mail in voting? Biden encouraged people to use a legal voting method to vote, which they did.
Strange that Trump as President had 4 years to tackle this alleged issue in the US electoral system but he chose not to, then suddenly when he realises he's about to lose an election he feigns outrage and acts as thought his is something that he cares about. If 99% of people had used mail in votes and trump had won he wouldn't give a f**k. Him and his family use mail in voting themselves ffs!

so your claiming this is new and he has not been concerned about postal vote fraud until now ?![]()
and no of course he wouldnt care...anymore than you or i would care if we won 3 goals to 1 in a game the opponents scored from a penalty that shouldnt have been...
and although he is president is it really possible for him to change the system just on his say so ?
