I expected Biden to lose Florida, but was obviously a hopeful it would flip. Michigan will depend on Oakland County (my county) and Kent (historically red but most populous area west side of state). I'm very optimistic at how Ohio is looking because it probably signals Pennsylvania will go the same way. Michigan is its own beast, but we did elect a democratic governor in 2018.

Think I might give in soon. Nothing is really shifting. Biden's likely path is looking quite distant in terms of votes.

I'm ready to bail out. The only thing these results are showing so far is that the US is the textbook definition of a shit hole country.

I’ve looked at Ohio and although it’s close, a lot of the votes left to be counted are in the more democratic counties. I think

I wonder if the Democrats have shot themselves in the foot by relying on mail-in voting rather mobilising voters on the day.

it's looking, at least in some places, like the polls were counting the uplift in democrat numbers, but not republican numbers. We knew turnout was going to be way up, but it looks significantly up on both sides
Who are these tens of millions of people voting for this shitheap?
I'm depressed.

but why couldn't they see this coming? we had data almost a week ago from various states pointing out that 25% of both Dems and Republicans early voting in 2020 did not vote at all in 2016. so the pollsters should have seen a Republican bounce coming to balance out the Dem bounce.

CNN goes in much more detail than everywhere else but are more conservative about projections so they're later than most.
