America is headed into election overtime. Pennsylvania and other key states remain undecided, with extended counts and likely court action ahead. Stay calm: The republic will survive.
Joe Biden underperformed what most pollsters predicted. And Republicans seem likely to hold control of the Senate, further frustrating the left’s expectations.
None of that should shock anyone, nor is it cause for protest: Stop confusing your desires with objective analysis — and start paying attention to what those who disagree with you think, and why, rather than writing them off as “deplorables.” Was 2016 really not lesson enough?
Both sides need to remain calm. President Trump’s supporters need to realize that Biden may win, fair and square, too. That he outperformed expectations doesn’t mean he’s been cheated if he still loses in the end.
America is deeply divided, and will remain so no matter who wins the White House. A close election, and continued divided government (with a Democratic House and GOP Senate, whoever wins the White House), is a call for humility and compromise.
The parties will fight hard over the remaining counts, including court battles. But we are all in this together; it’s the essence of our system that no partisan victory is final. In the end we are all one people, for all our differences.
And those in the middle will notice how partisans on either side conduct themselves in these trying times — and penalize those who don’t respect the process. Air your frustrations and dissent, but recognize that no setback means the system is unjust, only that you need to work harder next time.

The election IS BEING STOLEN!
There’ll be peopke that I will no longer speak to if the Dens steal this election.
The sad truth is, BOTH sides will be “right”. One side will see the election as stolen, the other side will see it as correctly determined. There wont be hard evidence either way, and our biases will determine what we believe. I hope cooler heads prevail.
More gentlemanly submission. Spit.
WTH did people elect the people that were on the side of the RIOTERS, the ARSONISTS, the LOOTERS, the DESTROYERS of STORES, the INTIMIDATORS, the BRICK THROWERS that DESTROYED their CITIES and BUSINESSES?????
No, the republic will not survive if Bidens fraudulent election happens. We will get 30 million new illegal alien voters, the next election will be under a 15 seat Supreme Court. Healthcare will be nationalized. Guns will be heavily restricted. Taxes will skyrocket. Prisons will empty and police will be disbanded.
Despite the inane happy talk, This would be our last free election.
I do not need the POST to tell me what to believe.
I can see already everyone is gonna wuss out against an uprising. :)
And i’m not gonna stand out there alone.
Come guys..the virus...the destruction of the economy..the abentee nonsense...
There IS no republic left if biden enters the WH.
There’s a divided govt because we will have 51 Rs in senate???
That’s not divided. They’re just a HAIR better than Ds.
Tlaib and AOC and the other insanes will run the party and wreck the country.
I wil keep praying Trump wins.
I see no other recourse if he doesn’t besides fighting.
I thought many of us felt this way but I am already seeing the signs of slowly tip toeing backwards from the line of battle :)
Anyway
Buongiorno
I don’t. Win or lose, let’s have a civil war and finish this. Yes, I am nuts. Or am I? “They” are never gonna stop.

Oh, I'll continue to speak and interact with them, but I will never view them in the same way again. I will always see them as broken, misguided, gullible and self-hating.
Whether through fraud or through legitimate voting, the system is badly broken if a corrupt pedophile with dementia beats one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had. Something is very wrong there, no matter how you slice it.
If trump wins hes illegitimate
If biden wins it is a glorious victory
We are witnessing the inner workings of the mafia

We appear to have held the senate. Assuming Mitch can hold the Republicans together, the senate will be our firewall.
The good news is that the Pennsylvania House and Senate is majority Republican. They get to decide if the vote stays disputed.
This country is too far down the road to the dark side to treat it like a normal election. Should he “win”, Biden’s authority should not be recognized by the right.
I’m thinking that they cannot pack the court without a Dem senate. Am I wrong?
How long will Biden survive as President?
