Becuase of mail in voters! There come in slowely, and are some of the last vote to count, so, thats why a biden wave came, because of mail in ballots takeing longer to see and come! Jesus, thats one thing almost everyone knows about!
Georgia and Pennsylvania congress refused to allow early tabulations ..(even Texas allowed it) so they could not touch it until elections. noo thats too simple of a reason

Almost like they got something to hide...
Like the identity of the people counting the ballots and the poll watchers themselves?

I mean for fuck's sake, there are already people that are threatening some of the poll watchers, ballot counters, and their families that have had their identities revealed one way or another.

Except that Trump was well on his way to winning either way until things conveniently "stopped" in the middle of the night, and suddenly, a bunch of votes all came in for Biden!
Almost like the people who count all the votes have to eat, sleep, and shit like normal human beings.

And what you say happened isn't even accurate, it took 3-4 days after the election for votes to finish being counted. Trump never had anywhere near enough states called for him to reach 270, so he was never "on his way to winning" either.

AH I bet your an American that has never left the Country... What do you think half of Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada. walk around half died waiting for medical care..?

As opposed to actually dying because you can't afford the healthcare. Imagine thinking your healthcare is anywhere near Canada's. Your countrymen routinely travel to canada for healthcare and to smuggle the free drugs back. Also pretty sure Japan is ranked first in the world for healthcare, and for life span.

Maybe It's got something to do with them not letting anybody tell them how to live, to change their culture and taking around 4 immigrants a year. Not sure why you even mentioned them tbh, and Europe is a continent not a country. Can't be arsed looking up the rest of them, I guarantee everyone in their right mind would rather get injured in ANY of those countries opposed to the USA though.

In before "lol your sad ... cope harder megalulz"

Well yeah...they were registered Republicans.
Hear that everyone?!! The only people that died from this insufferable disease were Republicans!

Really strange, since the only people I know that have been infected by COVID-19 have been Democrats, but I live in a Blue State in a very Blue Zone, so that is probably to be expected.

Socialised healthcare isn't a bad idea. I don't think I've said anything negative about Bernie Sanders. Infact I admire anybody who can own 3 homes, be a millionaire and never work a day in their life.
I think you mean "labor" a day in their life. But I don't know his personal life at all, so maybe it is really difficult to get in and out of his Audi.

That's not at all what I said. Only that enough Republicans died of COVID-19 in Georgia to flip the state for Biden.

And yes, obviously the anti-mask, anti-social distance crowd did manage to have a much higher infection/death rate than the rest of us.

The fact that one person wants free money and that plenty others do is proof enough. Or do you have no understanding of human nature?
I got kids to buy shoes and food for, need gas to shuttle them to appointments, pay insurance and a mortgage! You are totally right, I'll take some redistributed tax dollars to help me out! Human Nature, Baby!!

We were one of the only first-world nations to not freeze rent/mortgage during the pandemic, after all. We're gonna have millions of new homeless people by February if Biden doesn't take some drastic action.

Weird...it's almost like some people end up working multiple jobs to make ends meet...

...and they don't have time to play video games or indulge in other trivial crap while doing so, which is just the reality of life.

As long as Congress works with him. Remember, it isn't the President's actual job to fix any of this. All allocation of funds for any legal action is controlled by Congress. The Senate has a blue majority now, so maybe they'll be able to do something, if it aligns with their interests.

So none of those people in the riots and protests help spike the infection rate?
They probably didn't help, but at least they were outdoors, and there were plenty of protests from both sides of the political divide this year.

Dems don't have control of the Senate yet, they have to win both runoff seats in Georgia.

"At least they were outdoors?"

6 inches right to social distance at minimum right? Then why were we social distancing then all year? It's OK for them to huddle together, but heaven forbid I go and hug my girlfriend, kiss, and cuddle her?

Every individual made their own choices as to whether to follow the experts'/CDC's guidelines or not. I won't make excuses for other people. On average, Americans have certainly acted more selfish and childish throughout this pandemic than other first-world nations, which is how we ended up with such ludicrous infection and death rates.

If you trust that your girlfriend isn't currently infected, and hasn't previously been infected by COVID, kiss and cuddle away. The only restriction on that front is keeping indoor gatherings to ten people or less (depending on which state you're in).
