    Wait. What?? What's the pc term then? I always use black. "Coloured" was always the racist term when I was growing up and African-American only makes sense if someone is American which one can't assume even if they live in America.

    A black person/people is correct, blacks is racist
    People of Colour is preferred

    Morning all. Probably should have just went to bed early last night and woke up early. It's developing like a Eurovision vote and Joe Biden is a Russian song going through the old Soviet States

    I can't see Nevada leaning for lockdown, I think Trump might scrape it.

    Even if Biden pulls off a miracle here with mail in votes and get's it past the supreme court he'll be a lame duck president from day one. The utter embarrassment of only squeaking past Trump despite having more money to campaign with, big media on his side, social media on his side, Hollywood on his side, Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis on his side etc... etc... and still only getting in by a hair is frankly pathetic.

    A disaster for the Democrats.

    Better to be a lame duck president than putting up with Trump for another 4 years though.

    It would be nice for the Dems to have some introspection AFTER winning for a change.

    Losing the Senate (looks likely Reps will hold on) is the bigger issue for the Democrats. It'll mean nothing will be done in Washington for the next 4 years.

    The Supreme Court, if they have any sense, will refuse to look at it.

    8k votes in it so far, clark and washoe are only slightly ahead for Dems , they could be drowned by all the smaller ones together going red with those kind of margins. Its not very likely but NV is still on the table.

    At home, they'll go ok but I think those odds are skimpy. Semi final loss.

    Anyone else supposed to be working and getting f**k all done?

    This is tremendous entertainment. Like peak WWF. Just waiting for Trump to hit Biden with a steel chair as he's about to claim victory.

    The only votes left to count in Nevada are mail-in votes. All in person is done. Unless those mail-ins buck the national trend then it's Bidens.

    Yeah, but come on if he does that he'll be disqualified if the referee sees it.

    Oh absolutely. It's the nightmare scenario for the democrats. Lame duck president heading into his 80's and no Senate to get anything done.

    One of the Georgia seats is going to a run off.

    That's Loeffler's. That'll likely stay GOP now.

    CNN analysis would suggest Biden is likely to increase his lead in Wisconsin & there is nowhere Trump is likely to make it back.

    That flies in the face of what has been said earlier, that people vote GOP regardless if their nomination is/would be a racist, bigot, liar etc.?

    How could it be a 'disaster' (very Trumpy that one!) for the Democratic party, given that it's impossible to turn those voters? Lets assume that there is only a very marginal amount of people who would be willing to admit they shouldn't have voted for Tump, then this would be a wonderful success for the Democrats, a truly wonderful achievement to get enough to turn them and get over the line.

    The top two candidates from the first round of voting go to a second round.
