It's down to a 212k difference in PA, still with 11% left to count.

Arizona: Biden currently leads here by 93,518 votes, but there are around 600,000 left to count, according to the Arizona Republic. About 450,000 of those are in Maricopa County, which says it will release two batches of results tonight: one at 9 p.m. Eastern and one sometime after 12:30 a.m. Eastern. Some outlets, such as Fox News, have already projected Arizona for Biden, but our colleagues at ABC News have not yet done so.

Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
When these articles say Trump is suing certain states, what exactly does that mean for the election? Will it actually have any impact or is it just him being a sore loser?
The proper waifu is a wholesome supplement for one's intrinsic need for belonging and purpose.
Mostly just posturing. How do you successfully argue that votes should NOT be counted, especially when we've already set some precedent in other recent rulings?
At this point though I don't trust anything. America's future is looking pretty rocky, even with a Biden win.
In a way yea, in the UK the biggest wekness of the left as a block is the number of different parties the left has where as on the right the conservatives have managed to crush or consume any new right wing parties.
Lot of parties works fine under systems bullt for coalitions being the norm, like modern germany or the Scandinavian states, but less so for the UK and even less so for the USA.
But if we look at the UK General election last year, the conservatives gained 1% more vote than the election befor, but they walked away with a historic majority in Parliament, so what happend? Well the left divided its self over corbyn and over brexit, the lib dems, the greens, the independants and most of all the snp made gains, there wernt less people voting left and more voting right, its just the left wernt voting for the major party and that handed the cons the strongest goverment theve had since thatcher, and then it was the same story that habded thatcher election after election, its a running trend in adversarial democracys that the left ends up holding power less often in large part due to its tendancy to infight.
You can even see that behaviour on this forum in a way, just wait till gilrak/comminismwillwin/or we there calling them selves now pops up, they will attack left wing posters whl arnt left enough and be attacked for being to left and not willing to make the compromoses needed to win elections.
Ubtill thats resolved in America or the system is radicals changed to allow things like coalitions there will always be a great weakness in America to racist politicians like trump comming allong and usurping goverment.

204k now with 12% left, per NYTimes. Looks like they estimated a slightly larger total count than Politico.

If Trump is indeed deposed, I don't quite know how resolute the GOP will be in their convictions in the senate to be obstructionist for basically no reason. Are they going to paint the senate as a gigantic clusterfuck stopping up all legislation to convince people that they need to retain power of the senate in 2022?
Even right now, McConnell has basically refused to move on any sort of relief bill because he knows he can basically throw up his hands and say "no no no, you see, it's because the House won't work with Trump! They need to come to an agreement before I'll have the senate move on it!"
If Biden wins and it's the house and the executive staring McConnell down, that sort of "I wash my hands of this" stance sort of disappears.
