It’s 9:41 am EST, isn’t it still a little early to call it? I refuse to allow myself to become optimistic.

Just ignore the screaming man-baby kicking his heels on the floor, and keep moving.
As a non-American, I’ve been impressed, so far anyway, with how the many of the threats to the system have more or less fizzled; the established process seems to be a juggernaut, crushing feeble attempts to derail it.

PA is looking much like here in GA!
Yet your conservative family members, as well as some of mine, were okay voting for the out and out racist, presumably twice. 
I’m sure they don’t consider themselves to be racist (as mine don’t), but they don’t mind voting for white supremacy.
They should have voted fro someone else, or not voted at all. There were other options.
I agree. I’m sick of the whole concept of pro-life hinging on abortion, instead of the many other issues about the sanctity of life that should be addressed. They really only care about controlling women, is the long and short of it. If they really cared about ending abortion, they would be focusing on making sure women (ALL of us) have ready access to robust reproductive care and that all children get a solid education on sex and sexuality. Free IUDs for all women of reproductive years if they want them would go a long way to ensuring that abortions are incredibly rare.

Sometimes I wonder about the ol’ Boing.
If indeed Biden wins the election, he will be president elect. He would not be president until January when he is officially installed in the office.
As it is, the results haven’t been counted let alone verified.
I’m hoping for Joe too, but he still won’t be president until January.

Message to Biden and Harris:
We put you there because the alternative was horrible. Now it’s up to you.
Don’t mess this up. As Lee said, “Do the Right Thing”…

Most states learned a hard lesson in 2000, and have passed multiple laws to prevent any situation that could result in another president being installed rather than duly elected. Seems to be working.

One of the horsemen is still in play, and bound to roll snake eyes sooner or later, which could hit either side.

That fig leaf excuse for voting for Trump is particularly translucent given that they already got their Amy COVID Barrett appointment. There is nothing more he could contribute to their cause in a second term.

If anti- abortionists were actually serious about reducing abortion numbers as the goal, they’d be all in on proper sex education, contraception and so forth. Those are also proven to reduce abortion rates. As it is, they usually seem opposed to those as well. So it really seems to be more about controlling women.
