It really is time.

1. he has NO path to victory.

Put us all out of the misery.

[leftieNanner]

2. But...But...But

If we tell our viewers that Joe Biden is the winner, then they won't spend all of tonight and this weekend waiting for us to tell them something they already know.

CALL IT!!

[Budi]

3. Yup. Pretty much... the torturous reign of Donald Trump needs to end tonight.

I'm sick of the abuse.

7. Places like AP dont have that perverse incentive.

I think this is actually more paranoia about being wrong. They are afraid of getting egg on their face as in Gore v. Bush. And maybe to a lesser extent of feeding into conspiracy theories and provoking MAGAt backlash.

Its fucking annoying though. Ive been seeing Nate Silver post that there is no way Trump wins PA since this morning, and NV since yesterday.

4. Yes, please.

It is dangerous to prolong this. A long weekend ahead, and violence in the air.

20. It's quite possible

this was done to drag things out, wear everybody down, with the intent to smother the flames rather than let the violence ignite.

5. If the networks are worried about having interesting stories to cover, it will only get MORE

...exciting and disturbing and wild once it’s called and he completely freaks the eff out.

Someone call this thing!

[AngryOldDem]

6. Yes. No sense in making his mental illness worse.

[wnylib]

8. No. Much as I want to hear that Biden

has officially won, it is necessary to count all votes. That is Biden's theme and respo.nse to Trump's demands to stop the count.

If the count stops now, it feeds the Trump message that Dems only count the votes favorable to us. We have to let Trump supporters see the completion of the counts, leaving no rational doubt of the winner. Then when they claim that Biden did not really win, the nation sees it as the hot air that it is.

EDIT: After thought, they could, of course, declare PA, GA, and NV, AND continue counting, same as in other states.

[Budi]

9. That is true. Only 2 1/2 months left of this abuse from a narcisist freak ..

Guess we can tolerate this a bit longer.

He will be gone soon.

[wnylib]

10. I edited my post on afterthought

to say that they could do both - declare AND continue counting.

[Budi]

11. You know what? Yes. They could indeed do that! We're all really weary of this damned game

Ugh!
I gotta find something else to do till tomorrow.
I actually watched Shrek on election night. Just because.

I mean..when Shrek is your go-to therapy..😬

Later ~

15. Do the only productive thing I've done all week! (Besides watching this unfold)

Put toilet paper on spindle

[wnylib]

16. I've been sidetracked from the election by

the mystery of my cat's obsession with the fire alarm on my ceiling. Just posted a thread about it in the DU lounge, so I won't get into it here.

Have also been watching old movies, doing some cooking, and playing soft music to relax.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Will go find.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Good point! This limbo periods subtracts from that! Delay as long as possible! :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. I know! But I love the slower more calm approach. It is SO mature! Nt

[Cha]

14. Bless her heart in a good way..

she's ready to GO.. like the rest of us.

I'm thinking it's going to be called at just the right time. ;

I have to leave for awhile.. hope I don't miss Biden speaking!

[StClone]

17. For the first time I shuttered at the thought what this SOB is going to do

Retribution on the world! Put the pardon party button on Pence's Desk? Open all the Zoo and let all the animals out. Tell us all we "You're FIRED!" What could this dangerous chuck a fetid flesh do in his domed state. He could crumble and go play golf until jail time or go berserk and try to take us all down.

19. K&R,

[MyMission]

21. Open the floodgates! We're ready

Once the call is made, the temper tantrums really begin, by 45 and his cult members.

tRump already hates the press, what are they afraid of?!? Some have called it, but they have different vote counts.

In fairness, I personally attended weekly protests for months after the 2016 election, as did many of us. And we didn't have someone actively encouraging us to do so (not counting 45 encouraging us to protest because of who he is). We did have indivisible and other groups spearheading the resistance.

I expect to see the same from the other side, months of protests, except they will have many leaders encouraging them, and they are more inclined towards using violence and brute Force.

I think many are concerned, fearful about what the cult members will do, so they're putting off the call as long as possible.
It's time.
