Biden is President elect

TrixieB

May I suggest that this site doesn’t feature political polemic?

Surely there are other online outlets for those who want to express their partisan views, whether domestic or international?

Why would you suggest this? Given the number of us who enjoy the political polemic may I suggest that you find a different site?

Biden,s rigged votes won the election he will be no friend of UK. If Trump is so bad how is it he won an Ellis Iland award and was photographed beside Mohamed Ali and Rosa Parks for his work with black youth.
Biden is puppet president he will be worked from the back he can’t remember anything. It’s going to be a rough ride
The end times are here, and the turkeys have voted for Christmas.

Prove the election was rigged- That's all I ask- Produce evidence-

I forgot to mention internet and cell service- Most of the U.S. doesn't have it! Trump promised it but didn't deliver-

Different from Trump to be sure and in words as spoken in the film The Hunger Games, 'may the odds be ever in his favour'

Riverwalk l completely agree with you. The presidency was wasted by Trump and he could have done so much for the US and the whole world. He is ignorant. Biden may not be everyone’s choice but at least it’s broken the Trump reign.

His presidency wasn't wasted- Every election victory is dependent upon the deficit or success of the last 4 year administration- Trump was elected upon the deficit of the Obama administration-

Biden chose a woman of color for VP- And if you (anyone) listened closely to their (Kamala/Joe) speeches last night, they were peppered with messages from the left, messages that neither of them embraced fully during the primary- Messages that they disagreed with each other about prior to last night's speeches-

Biden even mentioned the "new deal" ?-

It took a Trump administration and a global crisis for Biden to want to become a president of the people, and not just some people, but all people- But that is not the platform he ran on during the primary when he too was catering to specific groups -- much like Trump-

The biggest problem in the US isn't color- It's money- There's the magnates at the top and a chasm between them and the small percentage of "successfuls"- And the expanse between the successfuls and the rest of us is about 100,000 dollars-

The rest of us are working for shit wages and going into debt to pay for educations that no longer promise a job- Going into medical debt because healthcare isn't affordable, not even under the Affordable Care Act-

And then there's the housing gap- Good luck with that- Housing options perfectly reflect the money gap described above- Crime-ridden city life or middle of nowhere, expensive suburbs, wealthy communities- Getting out of the city to elsewhere other than the middle of nowhere, where the market, hospital and shopping is about a 30 minute drive or more, cost 100,000 dollars or more-

What will Joe do about this?

Anyway, I digress.

I do remember lemongrove supporting the Lib Dems.
Sadly they lost their way.

Yes, the West Country was always a stronghold for the Liberals and then the Lib Dems although there were always anomalies.

One example was Devonport, a natural Labour voting constituency one might have thought; for nearly 20 years they returned a Conservative MP, Dame Joan Vickers, (she was formerly a National Liberal), defeating Michael Foot on more than one occasion.

I hope Bolsonaro, and Modi will fall too domino wise.

Exactly....but no more vociferous than your good self WW

Oh I apologise. You’ve only been a vociferous supporter for 6 years.

But, but......we enjoy political polemic ? and partisan views.

What is all this as bout paedophilia & sniffing. girls hair? Sounds rubbish to me. Is it based on fact or just rumour & propaganda?

lemon your support of the Tories has been vociferous ever since you have been posting on GN. So your suggestion that you are not a supporter is disingenuous to say the least.

That’s actually untrue WW as when I first joined GN it seemed that only Varian and I were Lib Dem supporters. I really rated Nick Clegg and was so pleased with the coalition.
I didn’t like Ed Milliband and from there on in said that I was supporting the Conservatives, which I duly did.It was even more necessary last year, to get Corbyn out and to make sure that Brexit happened.
Since Keir Starmer took over Labour seems a reasonable prospect particularly if he carries on as he has started.I genuinely don’t know which way I shall vote ( if at all!) in the future.I supported the Lib Dems for a long time in the past,
The West country has a big tradition for voting that way, and we had a decent MP.
I am thoroughly disenchanted with all politicians now after the dismal way Parliament dragged it’s feet over the referendum and other matters.

domestic or international?
Reminds me of airports

They'll need a crow bar to get him out of the White House come January!

No all they need to do is wave a pardon for all his debts and he’ll be gone like a rocket.

It is on a News and Politics Forum but that is only one amongst many.

We're having a nice difference of opinion on a Gardening thread too at the moment.

@Ramblingrose22. I read somewhere that Biden has already been diagnosed with the onset of Dementia. There was a suggestion that if he became president, he would step aside at some point early in the presidency and Kamala Harris would take over - one of the political commentators was heard to advise democrats to acquaint themselves with Ms Harris’ background and reputation because a vote for Biden would ultimately be a vote for Harris. Don’t think this would be a bad thing - another first, a woman of colour as president.

I think that you are buying into Trump propaganda.

Just because Joe Biden is in his late 70's doesn't mean he will soon get dementia.
My MIL is 99 and has all her marbles. Others of a similar age do too.
I am delighted that Joe Biden has won and wish him well.

Like Trump, Biden has made a few slip ups when speaking but he made a very inclusive and impressive speech which reflected his decades of political knowledge and experience in politics.

There are suggestions that Trump plans to do a deal to get him out.

Just go in and escort the man out - bodily if necessary!!

Yes indeed, it is all about ‘the deal’ with Trump, it is claimed that he even wanted to be sworn in using his book ‘The Art Of TheDeal’ instead of the Bible. I just hope they don’t pander to him, it’s about time he was made accountable for his wrong doings. Biden is doing the right thing by largely ignoring him and getting on with preparations for the huge tasks he has to undertake.
