    Just going round in circles here . I’ve already said what I think of Biden so you twist it to make your own argument ,
    Obama brought health care to millions who wouldn’t have got anywhere near otherwise which Trump and his Billionaires want to take away .
    You carry on rewriting your own history if you want it’s clear to me you havnt a clue

    This is now starting to look as if it’s going to be a significant Biden win - both in terms of the popular vote and in the electoral colleague. Who would have thought that on election night.

    Loko doesn’t need you and he most likely doesn’t think he’s getting bullied , Loko debates and uses facts as he sees them not blind non statements as yours.
    Yeah run off bairning when your posts are found out .

    I always find it fascinating that some people use the term 'liberals' as a form of criticism. Like being liberal is a bad thing. Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone was liberal...or more liberal, at least?

    I'm afraid the macho brigade see it as a sign of weakness.

    You should care only about yourself and your own family - but beyond that, no one else deserves any level of human decency. If others were decent ... then they'd be looking after only themselves etc.

    The problem is, it's impossible to argue with; if you're not as 'successful' as them - you're just jealous. If you more successful, then you're in an ivory tower and don't understand 'the real world'..

    You surely mean champagne socialists and Prosecco Wokeys. I wear my socialist badge with pride, I've got matching vest and pants as well.

    They won 80% of the black vote. There's only so much you can do.

    They've been losing the black male vote for a number of elections and continued to lose it in this election. Which was my point. Not about how much they continue to win but how it wasn't growing in the way we'd all expect when you think about what grabs all the headlines.

    It was 90% at Obama's first election and has now dropped to 80% when it's Biden, very much the lesser of two evils?

    Yes, they're out of touch at the minute, they struggled for a candidate, but that doesn't mean they're not the better choice.

    I’ve been confident of a Biden win all along. It’s been tighter than I expected, but I always saw it as likely.

    If you go back to the original post you quoted I was just explaining why it was deemed the Democrats haven't had a great election performance despite winning the Presidency, and how strange a claim that sounds. Nothing about who was the better choice or any evils.

    Was actually close to 95% in Obama's first election. Has since gone down to 87, 82 and now 80 since then respectively.

    You have. But you've got to be honest and say it has been A LOT tighter than you expected. I think you only gave Republicans a 10% chance of winning? The way it has swung back and forth has been crazy.

    I said Biden would win a close decision and so it has proved. I suppose if we all wake up to PA going red there could be more twists yet but looking extremely unlikely (even less than your 10%).

    Oh it’s been a lot tighter than I expected, yes. But there was always a decent chance it would be. About a 25% chance of it being Biden with under 300 votes I believe.

    It’s been a fascinating election. I do admit to having some flashbacks to 2016 when the rust belt started coming in, but when I realised it was because they were counting their mail-in last, it made sense.

    I think Trump is doing some classic projecting here. Like the adulterer who accuses their partner of cheating.
