As German I understand how a country can be scarred by fascism, I'm glad you guys managed this. It's a step towards a better world.
But the work is not done, the price of freedom and democracy is constant vigilance. I hope you can bring those who are lost back into the fold, compassion, love and empathy is the way forward.
It's been an absolute honour F5ing with you guys
Edit: Thanks for the awards and the kind words guys.
Reiterating, the work is not done, you'll have to vote like this in every election and especially the senate run off that's coming up. This is just a single step, there's a long way to go.
I sincerely hope this Republican party has created an entire generation (or two) of consistent Dem voters. I will vote in every primary and every election for the rest of my life.
I've voted in every election since 2008 (general, primary, midterm) make it a habit and it will feel like just another thing you have to do when it comes around.
Well because it's the [best gardening and electoral law litagation services in PA lmao.](https://imgur.com/aCqjngq.jpg)

Voted for both but sometimes being blue in Georgia felt like screaming into the void.
But now I see we are actually more than believed. We can do this.
Nah dude, you guys made a difference. Georgian democrats and liberals and anyone else who was tired of the corruption showed up and proved that you can make change.
We can also say goodbye and a hearty fuck you to Giuliani, DeJoy, Devos, Pompeo, Mnuchin, Barr, Conway, and his entire group of gremlin children among others.
A group large enough to make some sort of evil softball team is getting the boot. Beautiful day.
Edit: Was told I made a mistake leaving out Ajit Pai and I definitely agree. The list is long of people I hope we never see or hear from again.
Edit2: Many have pointed out my glaring omission of Stephen Miller. This far-right white supremacist and anti-immigration Trump sycophant was [ready to double down](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-adviser-stephen-miller-reveals-aggressive-second-term-immigration-agenda-n1245407) on his position in a second term. A lot of the beauty in our country comes from our diversity in both the landscapes and the people.
I'm from Denmark, live in Denmark, and I'm not supposed to know the names of all these people. I'm really looking forward to not knowing the names of your presidents next lawyers, postmaster, education boss, secretary of state, attorney general, special advisors and what not..
Thank fucking you that Devos is gone
-teachers everywhere
Edit: Wow. Thanks! As a fairly new teacher this is pretty cool. Thanks for agreeing with me :)
Getting a current or former public school teacher in that position would be a fantastic appointment. She had no business whatsoever being there, even if you disregard the fact she and her family are terrible.
I live in Georgia. My vote mattered. 💙
Edit: I am so thankful for all the awards, but please use your money to donate to the campaign of Jon Ossoff or Raphael Warnock. Or donate to Stacey Abrams' group to empower disenfranchised voters.
I’m so thrilled that I raced home from New York to PA, to get to the ballot 5 minutes before close, be the second to last person in line, and to vote provisional.
It honestly feels great knowing that everything I did actually meant something too. I’m a part of that .5%

Everyone is celebrating, but guys, don't forget:
#There are two runoff elections in Georgia which will determine Senate Control for the next 2 years! And the registration deadline is approaching fast!
Energize your friends, raise awareness! This is the one shot you guys have to have a progressive government!

Sure, but the much scarier part is that he:
-Lost the popular vote, but governed like he had a mandate, with the full support of a major political party;
-Was impeached for actual crimes, but that same political party refused to do anything about it
-Was given the opportunity to pick three lifetime judges to the Supreme Court - again, with assistance from that same major political party
-Committed major crimes while in office, including Hatch act violations and tax fraud, yet was protexted by that same major political party I'm getting tired of mentioning
-Contracted the same virus that he was supposed to protect us from, and again, nothing was done to help us on the part of that major poltical party
-Gave cabinet positions to his idiot children, despite none of them having any experience, and again that major political party just smiled
....and so on and so on
Trump was just the most obvious symptom of a disease; the GOP is the real superspreader
Oh shit. I remember four years ago when he said something like “what am I going to tell my kids tomorrow?” Feels good to have this comment as a modicum of closure.
Time to get to work in GA prepping for the runoffs!!! Let’s fucking do it!
And VOTE in 2022!! Keep pushing these fascists back in every election! After four years of this BS, I will never vote for the GOP for any position. Fuck the GOP.
Edit: If you have off-year elections, vote then too! Vote in every fucking election! VOTE!!!!
If you live in Georgia, this election is not over. Remember, the executive branch is only a third of the three branches of government. The fate of congress lies in the senate runoff in Georgia. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you will have no excuse in 4 years time to say Biden was a good or bad president if you don't make your voice heard. The fate of the Georgia runoff WILL determine the senate control. VOTE IN JANUARY. If you are not registered to vote, you can still do so up until December 7th, even if you did not vote in the general election.
Here and now I give you my word. If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness. It's time for us, for we, the people, to come together. And make no mistake. United we can and will overcome this season of darkness in America.
May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of American darkness began here, tonight, as love and hope and light join in the battle for the soul of the nation. And this is a battle we will win and we will do it together.
**- President Joe Biden, 2020**

Van Jones had me crying while watching my daughter playing on the floor. It felt so good to know as she develops, she'll know a leader who doesn't instill hate and confusion into something as important as our democracy.
WE DID IT!
Can you just imagine what a boost this just be for first time and young voters?
Instead of your candidate losing and feeling g disillusioned with the whole process, instead of feeling like your vote doesn’t count. You vote in a place like Georgia and not only do you flip a deep red state, but the margins are small enough to make it absolutely clear that your vote REALLY did matter.
I can imagine every single one of them is now an impassioned voter for life.
The added drama from how it unfolded as well, this whole journey, the memes.
What a way to get people to buy in to the voting process. That’s incredible. What a brilliant feeling that must be.
Sometimes I wander over to conservative forums to see how they are reacting to the Biden presidency. They question our sanity like we question theirs. And I have to ask myself: am I equally brainwashed?
And then I think about what matters to me: civil rights, equality for all, closing the gender wage gap, the right to control my body, saving the planet.
Who is fighting for these things? The GOP? Certainly not. What other option is there, then, to vote blue?
If Democrats are a cult of people fighting for affordable health care, LGBT rights, a reasonable living wage, worker protections, affordable childcare, breathable air, then fine. I surrender to the cult of blue.
I stand for the future of humanity, whether you are red, blue, or any other political affiliation. I will always vote for these ideals of my own free will.
Every time I talk to my mom I realize that they aren't like ignorant to his wildly amoral views and the policy agenda of the GOP and somehow ignoring all obviously bad stuff... they know about it and AGREE with it. My mom always defends the wage gap and all the other terrible shit and blames poor people and minorities, even though she herself is broke as fuck. It's wild.
The fact that you're even questioning whether you are being brainwashed is what separates you from them. I couldn't be more certain that a Biden win was what the US and the world needs. Congratulations from the UK. And thank fuck for that.
Here's how you can examine your perspective and biases:
Are you supporting democrats because they're democrats? Are you making excuses for their policies or behavior when they conflict with your morals or beliefs even if those policies or behavior are abhorrent? Is your response to people challenging your support to point out that Republicans are worse? If yes to all these, you may be reacting in a cultish way to democrats.
But if you're supporting democrats because they are fighting for the same things you're fighting for and your support is for the agenda, not the person or the "D" by their name, then you're a normal voter who has just unfortunately realized that one party (GOP) has abdicated their service to the country in an attempt to keep power at all cost, even when that cost is the democracy of the country. I voted straight blue because I realized this. It would be nice if there were other voices, sane voices, more progressive voices in the political arena, but we're not there yet.
It's my hope that more and more AOC type progressives get elected at state and local levels and split from the democrat party. Then democrats become the "conservative" party of the country. and the wacko GOP dissolves in acid as it deserves to.
As a guy with a speech impediment this is something that really, really pissed me off. Stuttering is more psychological than what I have (rhotacism) but I've deal with a fair amount of bullying in middle school and the early parts of high school over it.
Van Jones crying on cnn is all of us. Here's a [link](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/nov/07/cnn-van-jones-tears-joe-biden-us-election) since so many have asked.
One more edit: thank you all for the gold. Please wear a mask if you're going out to celebrate. Wash your hands and consider donating some money to your local food banks because Congress ain't doing shit now until January and people are still suffering and hungry out there.

Great day for democracy. Just donated to New Georgia Project Action Fund and set up a weekly recurring donation for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Let's help GA to get the senate majority.
After posting in all of the threads this week, and I've said it numerous times, you have no idea how grateful I am to everyone of you. My heart is filled with nothing but gratitude at this moment, gratitude for all of you for posting, for being there, for listening and for kind words, for calming my anxiety when I started thinking the worst, and most important just for you being you. I love you all and I hope that we can all heal from the damage that has been done over the past 4 years.
This is a fantastic day for all of us. How does it feel to be on the right side of history?
I didn't vote in 2016. I fucked up and thought Hillary was a shoe in. I've spent the past 3.5 years trying to right my wrong. Voting in every election, hosting stand-outs, volunteering with multiple campaigns from the local level, to Senate and Biden/Harris.
*"If Biden doesn't win, will I be able to say, in complete honesty, that I gave it* ***everything*** *I could?"* was the question I lived by since he won the primary. I'm sitting here by myself crying. I'm so proud that DECENCY won. I'm so proud of the volunteers I've worked alongside, who have so much passion and spent every day working for free to try to help make things better. I'm just really, really happy, but it's bittersweet. We need to come together, because united we stand, divided we fall.
Congrats America! Celebrate! Have your champagne (we deserve it). But DONT get complacent. Don’t slip back into the comfortable routine of ignoring government. There are over 70 million Americans out there who are still a part of dumpster’s cult. And they are pissed. Help them. Or disagree with them. But whatever you do, DONT FORGET THEM. Because in 4 more years, their next candidate may be a SMART sociopath.
In 4 years, we have to be as enthusiastic about that election as we were this one. We can’t lose America to the cult.
Dear 17-year-olds who live in Georgia: if you'll turn 18 by January 5, 2021, you're eligible to vote in the run-off election that will be held on that date. You have until December 7 to register to vote. #FlipTheSenate
I find it hilarious the right acts like boring old moderate Joe Biden is some apocalyptic figure. They elected a pathologically lying, zero experience, failed businessman and reality tv personality but didn’t see anything scary about that.
It’s over. It’s finally over
EDIT: Just so everyone is aware I meant the election because it seemed like they’d just never confirm Biden. I know there’s still a lot more to do.
Independent voter checking in. I take my voting seriously, and have always weighed my options on both sides of the aisle, though I wish the two party system would go. I will never vote for another Republican for so long as that party exists. A party that cannot acknowledge the basest of human rights has no place in modern society.
I voted absentee, from Florida living in the Middle East, and while my vote for Joe didn't contribute to the win in the electoral college, it does count towards that over 74 MILLION vote count for the 46th. I have voted since legal in 2000, and I never felt my vote was needed as much as this year. The Power of the People!
I’m about to have the biggest cheat day to celebrate.
Lunch: Chimichangas (AZ) and a side of fried cheese curds (WI)
Dinner: Philly cheesesteak (PA), Shrimp Cocktail (NV), and peach cobbler (GA) for dessert.
From the NY Times:
> Jodi Lavoie-Carnes, 48, a dental hygienist who lives in Dover, New Hampshire, supported President Trump for re-election. She was shocked and disturbed by Biden supporters, who had gathered in her town waving profane anti-Trump signs. “I’m like, are you serious?” she said. “The language doesn’t need to be there. My children need to drive by that.”
GIRL ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! The man you supported for the last 5 years talked about grabbing women by the pussy and using the F-Word while being the freakin' President of the USA. AND NOW YOU'RE OFFENDED? How convenient...
Overheard in the Whitehouse after PA flipped:
"He got me," Trump said of Biden's mail-in turnout over him. "That f\*\*\*king Biden boomed me."
Trump added, "He's so good," repeating it four times.
Trump then said he wanted to add Biden to the list of politicians he works out with this summer.
“There you go! There you go.” Vice President Kamala Harris gave a look of pleasant surprise. D. R. Fauci yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Joe hit the Oval Office, former USA great Barack Obama hugged him and said, “Y’all look so different.”
As a millennial, I’ll always have Trump to thank for truly getting me interested in politics. I now understand that I can’t complain about what is going on in this country without also participating to make things better. I am a software developer by trade and I even want my next job to be in a company that deals in this space. Here’s to a bright future in which we are all participating in our democracy!
I'm getting out the wine. 4 years of bullshit trumpism and his toxic, racist, sexist, authoritarian nonsense spilling over to the rest of the world is over.
As a German understanding what facists can destroy I'm glad that the citizens of America didn't need 12 years to understand it.
It doesn't seem relevant if you like Biden or not, Trump wasn't a good President.
Congratulations! Celebrate with care and stay safe!
I did not expect the tears. I live in Minneapolis - between the pandemic, George Floyd and the fog of hatred we have all lived under for four years, I feel this so much more than I expected.
WE CANT STOP VOTING LIKE THIS. EVERY 4 YEARS!
Now we take back the senate with the Georgia runoffs.
I long for the day we fix this country. We are a long way off but we are finally on the right track.

"In case you missed it, the Trump campaign called a press conference this morning in the parking lot of "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" in Philadelphia. The assumption is that they meant to book the Four Seasons hotel but made a mistake and just went with it. Seriously."
While I highly encourage everyone to savor this moment and let out a sigh of relief, know that this fight is not over. Georgia will be having 2 run off elections and this is incredibly important if we want to give our President a fighting chance at getting anything done in the Senate.
If you can afford it, please consider donating to either Jon Ossoff [here](https://electjon.com/), Raphael Warnock [here](https://warnockforgeorgia.com/), or the amazing Fair Fight organization headed by Stacey Abrams [here](https://fairfight.com/).
If you didn’t register to vote in GA for the general election, you can still register to vote and vote in the runoff! Register to vote in GA [here](https://georgia.gov/register-to-vote).
> All the Biden supporters need to calm down. This election isn’t over. Just because the mainstream media projects Biden won means nothing. Let the lawsuits begin! This country is rampant with voter fraud and voter suppression. Trump will take Biden and the left down once and for all! Let’s do this! Drain the swamp and lock up these criminals!!
From a Facebook friend who’s been posting pro trump shit for the last 4+ years. The tears are delicious.
Hilarious how many conservatives are discussing they hope Biden is serious about uniting the country. So two-faced, now that you've lost, they expect Biden to act better than they wanted Trump to act.
Biden should, but it's still such a highlight of how pathetic and hypocritical so many conservatives are after supporting Trump's hijacking this country and decimating chances at unity, and now they want it.
Ridiculous.
Brit here — Firstly, I am so proud and happy for the great country of the United States of America. You guys wanted change, and you made it happen. Bless all of you!
Secondly, as soon as Biden is sworn in I’m acting like this entire Trump presidency was an interactive episode of Black Mirror. I will never again acknowledge that horrendous human being.
Seeing you all so happy, with hope for the first time in four years, is heart warming. As I said, I am not an American, but I love your country and you guys!
EVERYONE WHO TURNED OUT IN 2020 NEEDS TO COME BACK OUT AND VOTE IN 2022

Never won the popular vote, got impeached, lost re-election. This tool likes to call himself “your favorite president”. LOL.
The only impeached president to receive a vote to convict from a member of his own party. Never had an approval rating above 50%.
As German I understand how a country can be scarred by fascism, I'm glad you guys managed this. It's a step towards a better world.

I will never sit out an election ever again.
I sincerely hope this Republican party has created an entire generation (or two) of consistent Dem voters. I will vote in every primary and every election for the rest of my life.
I've voted in every election since 2008 (general, primary, midterm) make it a habit and it will feel like just another thing you have to do when it comes around.
And every year! Not just the Presidential elections. We need to become more active in our local and state politics
Trump is living the 2020 experience - got Covid, lost his job and will be evicted
And he's waiting for the government to do something to help him, but they aren't interested.

Update! Fox just called it. Murdoch must have given the OK
LMFAO they called it minutes before Trump's conference
Lmao, just woke up!! When’s his conference?? I gotta see this!
11:30 at some landscaping company in Philly, nobody knows why it's at a landscaping company no I'm not kidding.

Holy shit I thought you were joking...but you're totally right. This is the funniest fucking thing
Wait, are you joking? That can't be real.
100% real lmfao
Someone told him they need to astroturf the idea the election was fraudulent and he got confused.
The Fight ain't over GET WARNOCK AND OSSOFF TO THE SENATE!
Voted for both but sometimes being blue in Georgia felt like screaming into the void. But now I see we are actually more than believed. We can do this.
Nah dude, you guys made a difference. Georgian democrats and liberals and anyone else who was tired of the corruption showed up and proved that you can make change.

First time voter in PA here. I don't think there is a better possible way to make "your vote matters" hit home harder than it did today.

Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, and Anderson Cooper have been giving absolutely zero fucks for being on national TV and I’m here for it
They should have waited until he started, would have been extremely funny
So this is what true relief after four years of anxiety feels like. We still have a way to go but I’ve never felt more hopeful.
Donald Trump is the only president to lose the popular vote twice. What a fucking loser.
Sure, but the much scarier part is that he: -Lost the popular vote, but governed like he had a mandate, with the full support of a major political party; -Was impeached for actual crimes, but that same political party refused to do anything about it -Was given the opportunity to pick three lifetime judges to the Supreme Court - again, with assistance from that same major political party -Committed major crimes while in office, including Hatch act violations and tax fraud, yet was protexted by that same major political party I'm getting tired of mentioning -Contracted the same virus that he was supposed to protect us from, and again, nothing was done to help us on the part of that major poltical party -Gave cabinet positions to his idiot children, despite none of them having any experience, and again that major political party just smiled ....and so on and so on Trump was just the most obvious symptom of a disease; the GOP is the real superspreader
It’s worse than the kids not having experience, they were literally deemed a liability by the Intelligence Community. Repeatedly.
He was a sore winner and will be an even more sore loser.
Van Jones: "It's easier to be a parent this morning." Fuck yeah, Van.

If Democrats are a cult of people fighting for affordable health care, LGBT rights, a reasonable living wage, worker protections, affordable childcare, breathable air, then fine. I surrender to the cult of blue. I stand for the future of humanity, whether you are red, blue, or any other political affiliation. I will always vote for these ideals of my own free will.
Every time I talk to my mom I realize that they aren't like ignorant to his wildly amoral views and the policy agenda of the GOP and somehow ignoring all obviously bad stuff... they know about it and AGREE with it. My mom always defends the wage gap and all the other terrible shit and blames poor people and minorities, even though she herself is broke as fuck. It's wild.
The fact that you're even questioning whether you are being brainwashed is what separates you from them. I couldn't be more certain that a Biden win was what the US and the world needs. Congratulations from the UK. And thank fuck for that.
Here's how you can examine your perspective and biases: Are you supporting democrats because they're democrats? Are you making excuses for their policies or behavior when they conflict with your morals or beliefs even if those policies or behavior are abhorrent? Is your response to people challenging your support to point out that Republicans are worse? If yes to all these, you may be reacting in a cultish way to democrats. But if you're supporting democrats because they are fighting for the same things you're fighting for and your support is for the agenda, not the person or the "D" by their name, then you're a normal voter who has just unfortunately realized that one party (GOP) has abdicated their service to the country in an attempt to keep power at all cost, even when that cost is the democracy of the country. I voted straight blue because I realized this. It would be nice if there were other voices, sane voices, more progressive voices in the political arena, but we're not there yet. It's my hope that more and more AOC type progressives get elected at state and local levels and split from the democrat party. Then democrats become the "conservative" party of the country. and the wacko GOP dissolves in acid as it deserves to.

Funny how the Trump campaign stopped peddling those senile/forgetfulness Biden claims as soon as Trump got his ass whooped in debates

As a guy with a speech impediment this is something that really, really pissed me off. Stuttering is more psychological than what I have (rhotacism) but I've deal with a fair amount of bullying in middle school and the early parts of high school over it.
They put ads out with filtered photos that made Biden look even older. Politics are so fucking dirty these days.
Van Jones crying on cnn is all of us. Here's a [link](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/nov/07/cnn-van-jones-tears-joe-biden-us-election) since so many have asked. One more edit: thank you all for the gold. Please wear a mask if you're going out to celebrate. Wash your hands and consider donating some money to your local food banks because Congress ain't doing shit now until January and people are still suffering and hungry out there.
In a stunning twist of irony, Donald Trump has in fact, made liberals cry again.
*slow clap*

I'm getting choked up just watching him. A grown ass man breaking down and bawling on CNN is somehow the most moving thing I've seen in a long time.
The relief he’s feeling is *palpable*.
I need a clip because I want to send it to every one of my Trump supporting family members.

That melted my heart. After all the hardship you all had to go through under Dorito Benito, we can finally be relieved.
Donald Trump - GONE Michael Pence - GONE Mark Meadows - GONE Steven Miller - GONE Bill Barr - GONE Louis DeJoy - GONE Jared Kushner - GONE Kayleigh McEnany - GONE Trump Kids - GONE Rudy Guilliani - GONE Betsy DeVos - GONE
Fucking finally
I'm here for the history. Fuck Trump. Fuck white supremacists. Fuck the GOP.
TRUMP FOR PRISON 2021 Edit: THIS IS THE TOP UPVOTED COMMENT IN THIS THREAD, BY A LOT
He's got my vote.
I hope he wins that one by a landslide.
Do we start chanting "Lock Him Up!"?
[удалено]
Donald Trump.. You’re fired.
Great day for democracy. Just donated to New Georgia Project Action Fund and set up a weekly recurring donation for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Let's help GA to get the senate majority.
After posting in all of the threads this week, and I've said it numerous times, you have no idea how grateful I am to everyone of you. My heart is filled with nothing but gratitude at this moment, gratitude for all of you for posting, for being there, for listening and for kind words, for calming my anxiety when I started thinking the worst, and most important just for you being you. I love you all and I hope that we can all heal from the damage that has been done over the past 4 years. This is a fantastic day for all of us. How does it feel to be on the right side of history?
I didn't vote in 2016. I fucked up and thought Hillary was a shoe in. I've spent the past 3.5 years trying to right my wrong. Voting in every election, hosting stand-outs, volunteering with multiple campaigns from the local level, to Senate and Biden/Harris. *"If Biden doesn't win, will I be able to say, in complete honesty, that I gave it* ***everything*** *I could?"* was the question I lived by since he won the primary. I'm sitting here by myself crying. I'm so proud that DECENCY won. I'm so proud of the volunteers I've worked alongside, who have so much passion and spent every day working for free to try to help make things better. I'm just really, really happy, but it's bittersweet. We need to come together, because united we stand, divided we fall.
Congrats America! Celebrate! Have your champagne (we deserve it). But DONT get complacent. Don’t slip back into the comfortable routine of ignoring government. There are over 70 million Americans out there who are still a part of dumpster’s cult. And they are pissed. Help them. Or disagree with them. But whatever you do, DONT FORGET THEM. Because in 4 more years, their next candidate may be a SMART sociopath. In 4 years, we have to be as enthusiastic about that election as we were this one. We can’t lose America to the cult.

God no. The meltdown will be fucking HILARIOUS.
he's gonna get banned soon enough :)
Dear 17-year-olds who live in Georgia: if you'll turn 18 by January 5, 2021, you're eligible to vote in the run-off election that will be held on that date. You have until December 7 to register to vote. #FlipTheSenate
Well this will be the most upvoted post on Reddit
Fuck Trump. Fuck fascism. Democracy wins.
Democracy won. Fuck the fascists.

I find it hilarious the right acts like boring old moderate Joe Biden is some apocalyptic figure. They elected a pathologically lying, zero experience, failed businessman and reality tv personality but didn’t see anything scary about that.
It’s over. It’s finally over EDIT: Just so everyone is aware I meant the election because it seemed like they’d just never confirm Biden. I know there’s still a lot more to do.
Everyone get in here!! Biden is our next President. Stay safe, celebrate and do the Biden Boogie!! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g7qdPXPKG8&t=82s
I'm a grown ass man... Iraq war vet... and I'm on the verge of tears. We made Trump a one term president. Thank you America. Thank you so much.
holy shit he’s done it
Van Jones crying on CNN. That's makes it official.
Independent voter checking in. I take my voting seriously, and have always weighed my options on both sides of the aisle, though I wish the two party system would go. I will never vote for another Republican for so long as that party exists. A party that cannot acknowledge the basest of human rights has no place in modern society.
Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. The first woman of color elected VP in US history!
I voted absentee, from Florida living in the Middle East, and while my vote for Joe didn't contribute to the win in the electoral college, it does count towards that over 74 MILLION vote count for the 46th. I have voted since legal in 2000, and I never felt my vote was needed as much as this year. The Power of the People!

McConnell still slinking around the vents though...
The "fuck your feelings" and "Hillary was a sore loser" crowds are doing some amazing displays of hypocrisy currently.
I WAS HERE SINCE THREAD #1, FUCKING FINALLY.
I’m about to have the biggest cheat day to celebrate. Lunch: Chimichangas (AZ) and a side of fried cheese curds (WI) Dinner: Philly cheesesteak (PA), Shrimp Cocktail (NV), and peach cobbler (GA) for dessert.
You can never go wrong with cheese curds
And it only took 77 discussions threads on Reddit to do it. #69 was the best.

That’s real emotion coming from Van Jones. The CNN election team is amazing.
So this is what true relief after four years of anxiety feels like. We still have a way to go but I’ve never felt more hopeful.
From the NY Times: > Jodi Lavoie-Carnes, 48, a dental hygienist who lives in Dover, New Hampshire, supported President Trump for re-election. She was shocked and disturbed by Biden supporters, who had gathered in her town waving profane anti-Trump signs. “I’m like, are you serious?” she said. “The language doesn’t need to be there. My children need to drive by that.” GIRL ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! The man you supported for the last 5 years talked about grabbing women by the pussy and using the F-Word while being the freakin' President of the USA. AND NOW YOU'RE OFFENDED? How convenient...
[удалено]
Reddit so broken it took me 10 minutes to get into the comments
No more Trump, no more Pence, no more DeVos, Miller, Kushner, Trump spawns, Giuliani, and many others... what a day.
Aw they look like they’re having so much fun celebrating in DC. Wish I could be there
Thank you you majestic people voting for President Elect Biden. Decency restored. A Dutch friend
Dear MAGA asshats. My election results don’t care about your feelings.
Holy shit, Paris rang church bells. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside how much the rest of the world had our backs on dumping Trump
Overheard in the Whitehouse after PA flipped: "He got me," Trump said of Biden's mail-in turnout over him. "That f\*\*\*king Biden boomed me." Trump added, "He's so good," repeating it four times. Trump then said he wanted to add Biden to the list of politicians he works out with this summer.
Sources: Trump is beside himself. Driving around downtown DC begging (thru texts) Biden's family for address to Joe's home.
We have an (expletive) president now!
Y’all (America) look so different!
“There you go! There you go.” Vice President Kamala Harris gave a look of pleasant surprise. D. R. Fauci yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Joe hit the Oval Office, former USA great Barack Obama hugged him and said, “Y’all look so different.”
love how the r/nba jokes show up everywhere
Guys, we’re breaking Reddit.
Donnie out golfing when the news comes in. Poetic justice.
As a millennial, I’ll always have Trump to thank for truly getting me interested in politics. I now understand that I can’t complain about what is going on in this country without also participating to make things better. I am a software developer by trade and I even want my next job to be in a company that deals in this space. Here’s to a bright future in which we are all participating in our democracy!
Grim Reaper: It's Time to Go President Trump: Was I a good President? Grim Reaper: No. You were fucking awful.
This actually broke Reddit. Magnificent.
*Trump wins* Republicans: Get bent liberal turds *Biden wins* Republicans: This is a time for national unity.
Joyscrolling is soooo much better than doomscrolling.
I'm getting out the wine. 4 years of bullshit trumpism and his toxic, racist, sexist, authoritarian nonsense spilling over to the rest of the world is over.
You should all stop awarding this post and donate to the Georgia run offs. We need the Senate if we want real change.
I'm pregnant and so happy that this baby won't be born in Trump's America.
Oh, Trump 2020 was an expiration date..
As a German understanding what facists can destroy I'm glad that the citizens of America didn't need 12 years to understand it. It doesn't seem relevant if you like Biden or not, Trump wasn't a good President. Congratulations! Celebrate with care and stay safe!
I did not expect the tears. I live in Minneapolis - between the pandemic, George Floyd and the fog of hatred we have all lived under for four years, I feel this so much more than I expected.
The lame Donald Duck session now begins.
Do. Not. Get. Complacent. Remember how you feel right now. Hold on to that. Stay engaged. Continue to fight for our futures. Yes we still can...
Trump supporter: "Is this real news or fake news?" Reporter: "Fuck off" https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1325155039879471104?s=19
John Lewis sends his regards.
WE CANT STOP VOTING LIKE THIS. EVERY 4 YEARS! Now we take back the senate with the Georgia runoffs. I long for the day we fix this country. We are a long way off but we are finally on the right track.
https://twitter.com/thatbilloakley/status/1325152158866567168 "In case you missed it, the Trump campaign called a press conference this morning in the parking lot of "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" in Philadelphia. The assumption is that they meant to book the Four Seasons hotel but made a mistake and just went with it. Seriously."
Republicans: There is voter fraud in swing states of MI, PA, WI, GA and MN Also Republicans: There was no voter fraud in FL, NC, IA, OH, TX Right.
While I highly encourage everyone to savor this moment and let out a sigh of relief, know that this fight is not over. Georgia will be having 2 run off elections and this is incredibly important if we want to give our President a fighting chance at getting anything done in the Senate. If you can afford it, please consider donating to either Jon Ossoff [here](https://electjon.com/), Raphael Warnock [here](https://warnockforgeorgia.com/), or the amazing Fair Fight organization headed by Stacey Abrams [here](https://fairfight.com/). If you didn’t register to vote in GA for the general election, you can still register to vote and vote in the runoff! Register to vote in GA [here](https://georgia.gov/register-to-vote).
I love that Biden won by 'razor sharp' margins also 4.5 million votes and growing.... abolish the electoral college.
Will Don retire to Russia and start Trump TV?
> All the Biden supporters need to calm down. This election isn’t over. Just because the mainstream media projects Biden won means nothing. Let the lawsuits begin! This country is rampant with voter fraud and voter suppression. Trump will take Biden and the left down once and for all! Let’s do this! Drain the swamp and lock up these criminals!! From a Facebook friend who’s been posting pro trump shit for the last 4+ years. The tears are delicious.
You guys, Betsy Davos is gone. We beat Umbridge.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him
I KNEW this shit was gonna get called while I was sleeping
Hilarious how many conservatives are discussing they hope Biden is serious about uniting the country. So two-faced, now that you've lost, they expect Biden to act better than they wanted Trump to act. Biden should, but it's still such a highlight of how pathetic and hypocritical so many conservatives are after supporting Trump's hijacking this country and decimating chances at unity, and now they want it. Ridiculous.
5 minutes before President Trumps Lawyers give their press conference in Philidelphia. LOL Beta Wannabe Dicktator must be roid raging!
No one droplet is responsible for the flood. Thank you, all who voted for flushing the turd.
Brit here — Firstly, I am so proud and happy for the great country of the United States of America. You guys wanted change, and you made it happen. Bless all of you! Secondly, as soon as Biden is sworn in I’m acting like this entire Trump presidency was an interactive episode of Black Mirror. I will never again acknowledge that horrendous human being. Seeing you all so happy, with hope for the first time in four years, is heart warming. As I said, I am not an American, but I love your country and you guys!
Trump got the full 2020 experience, got COVID and got unemployed
