no reason to wait on the networks to call it , if you want to celebrate a Biden/Harris win, go ahead and have that drink ..

(18,486 posts)I just don't understand why people who are so sure that Biden has won are all worked up that the press hasn't called it. If they are certain he's got it in the bag, just celebrate.
And even if they're not ready to celebrate, why rob all their joy by bitterly complaining about what the press is and isn't doing?

(21,146 posts)from Magas, aimed at them.
But the announcement has got to be made sooner or later. Initially, I favored waiting for the final tally in PA so Magas could see that, with every last vote counted, Biden won. But, even then they will not accept it, will challenge it, and will claim fraud.
So, might as well make the announcement now because I am getting concerned that the delay gives Trumpists more time to organize a nasty reaction and more chances to spread disinformation while we wait.

(2,267 posts)All the media (except the AP) are waiting for Faux Nuz to call it first. That way, they can't be screamed at by the Reichwing Flying Monkeys for saying that the fat lady has sung (even though the rest of us have already heard the music). Even more deliciously, Faux gets a reputation beating amongst the Q-ball/Flying Monkey crowd! It's a win-win, as far as I see it.
