In PA Trumps lead has shrunk further but I'm expecting him to just scrape in with Biden being 10k short.
Trump must have cheated I guess.Actually I may have miscalculated here. According to the numbers I am looking at Biden will make the deficit in Philly alone. He has plenty to come from Delaware County (currently 67%)
Maybe he was the cheat? To hard to tell.

@Crucial Yeah Biden is going to win PA, if the current trends continue:
If Biden continues to take 76% of the mail-in votes, he will poll about 160,000 of the remaining 215,000, which will give him more than enough to erase the 53,000 vote deficit.
And there seems to be other votes from Philly and surrounds still to come in, too.

More and more are calling out the fact that most of the mail in votes are Dems because Trump told his followers over and over and over not to vote that way.
At a loss to how anyone can defend his actions at the moment.
And the fact that the Dems clearly were much more concerned about the pandemic and as such avoided in-person voting in favour of a mail-in option. A small child can see why things are unfolding the way they are.
If the outstanding states counted their votes like Florida (pre the closing of polls on Tuesday) then this would all look very different.

After 4 years I still can't make my mind up how much is deliberte and how much is because he is thick and fails to even try and understand basic information
I don't think he's thick but I don't think he's all that bright. With his start in life and all the other advantages that he has enjoyed I'd expect a sizeable minority if not majority would have been able to do more with their lives.
What he has in spades is small man's disease which contributes to his demagoguery. What he has discovered is that if you lie outrageously enough a lot of people will believe it because it must be true. Helped by total conviction because he believes his own falsehoods.
I guess when you are surrounded by sycophants and assorted hangers on its hard not to believe in your own omnipotence and that the universe does truly revolve around your rug anointed head. Double down by factoring in the fear engendered by his bellicose bullying and vindictiveness and you have a very potent brew.
He is irredeemable and is proving it for all bar the (large number of) true believers.
This has been on the cards for months. Everyone could see it coming. He certainly got his excuses in early enough. The only hope to avoid all the rancour and violence that's bout to erupt was that the Democrats won big. Then they chose Biden.....

Just reminder about the rules. The rules are more strict in here because at several times over the years it became a cesspool in here
Most of these were added when some pro Trump people were spamming and/or acting like dicks
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/1737/politics-sub-forumThere's been a crazy amount of playing the man not the ball which has been deleted. That shit is toxic and makes the whole forum unpleasant.
Oh and I agree with @Kirwan there's no need to relitigate every tedious controversy over the last few years. There's enough currently happening isn't there??

fair enough, its just such a burly line when we're talking about the election of a single person

“I only lost because you’ll cheated”
What an embarrassment.
Does that mean we've actually won 6 RWCs?
Well possibly one more. Mr Barnes was not an impartial adjudicator.

Next quarter final the ABs are in I'm going to stand on the sideline with my gun, sorry, "mah sahdahm", to make sure the refereeing team do it right. I encourage you all to do likewise
