Congratulations to the newly elected Biden/Harris
Well, I woke up to see the results solidify. That was a pretty close and invigorating election and once again the polls did not accurately reflect how close it was going to be.

Something to point out from this election is the gradually changing demographics. Higher shares of Blacks and Latinos voted Republican compared to previous elections.

It will be interesting to see if that holds up in the future. The browning of America doesn't necessarily mean a huge advantage for the Democrat Party.

Yeah sky news interviewed some Latinos yesterday, probably plebs since they said:
"We voted Trump cause he's the man, he's the boss the top dawwwg. He ain't nobody's ****, he has our respect".
Then other Latinos support Trumpos anti immigration policy, those that were born an raised in Murica get bad rep cause of those migrants. So there's that.
Oh well, the overgrown fetus will be out of sign and mind soon. It was fun while it lasted.

I know the results are technically unofficial but the legal challenges could drag on for quite awhile and I want this discussion to be about the new administration.

Congratulations Biden/Harris 
With a massive 74 million voting for Biden already at this point, he has gained more votes than any President in United States history. Well done.
With Senate most likely being Republican, it will be interesting to see if it will be obstruction, obstruction, obstruction all the way till midterms. At least I don't expect any sweeping reforms from the democrats to be passed, those will be shut down for sure.

Someone might be following this script - the American public has decided against a female president with their first chance, so now they will get one through the backdoor.
We'll see how that will work out and who will be HER VP then.

The final tally btw is 306 vs 232 electoral votes, with razor edges in PA and GA.
The Peach State going blue was unexpected but they did have a razor edge gubernatorial election just 2 years earlier so I guess that whipped up the Dem voter turnout.

An old, dementia ridden, corrupt crook got more votes than the first black president of the US, more votes than the possible first woman president of the US, both of which ran a campaign with much more vigor, presence and voter enthusiasm.
Let's not forget he also won the primaries against a socialist, a black woman, a gay man and an asian-american to name a few.
Maybe the democrats are right, the USAians are indeed racist misogynist homophobes.

The Democrats went from favoring whites to favoring non-whites. Maybe they'll just switch again.

The juxtaposition of the parties happened with the Civil Rights Movement. The last Republican president before the two major parties flipped roles was Eisenhower.
They won't flip again, but Dems can't expect massive advantages in minorities in the future, at least not like they had in the past. As more Hispanics become 2nd and 3rd generation citizens you will have a large portion absorbed into the GOP. You also have high profile black celebrities coming out Republican, like Ice Cube, Kanye West, etc.

I don't think Biden will resign unless he gets a medical diagnosis of dementia at some point, but it seems difficult for him to do a 2nd term, especially when he has a split government to deal with for the next 4 years.

We have a much more diverse elected government body than any European country. We also have a brighter future than Europe unless you guys change something really fast, which of course I hope you do since a divided Europe is very bad for global security.

LOL
But yeah, if we were all German provinces instead their anthem would ring true, first world power by a long shot, and in 10 years, after rearming and full infrastructural integration, the US would be relegated back to being third world tier.
Thank Italy for pushing back the EU, the fourth Reich could easily rule the world.

No thanks, people would mistake my laughing due to being drunk. Besides, champagne is filthy french stuff, I like my wine to be from the sunny fields of my homeland.
I'll keep you company with some good old pure Sicilian spirit tho if you wish.
