Same. I hoped, but I don't think I ever really expected it?
I sort of expected the results to match the covid outbreaks, in all honesty. The places that have refused to take their own health seriously. The fact that large swaths of America are treating a public health issue as a partisan issue, ya know, to "own the libs" etc, told me all I needed to know well ahead of the election.
America is a dumb fucking country.
If Biden manages to win this in a wild comeback , i will call him the Pat Mahomes of politics. He won the primaries when a lot thought he was finished after a couple places. He came back from that and if does this ...wow.

Well again...I don't know if that says a lot about how people feel favorably about Biden but more how lukewarm they are to him. He lost to Sanders in the primaries IMO because of Sanders' health issues as well as some of his more extreme left ideas that weren't meshing well in more moderate areas.
Looks like this guy called it back in August.

It won’t be a wild comeback. The overreaction last night was just that. People didn’t expect the early swings pre mail in and didn’t expect that Trump would get decisive wins in a few states he already was trending well in. Florida and Ohio were razor thin but went hard Trump.
Right now the polls are mostly right in outcome just not method
In America we still have a frightening amount of people who mock smart folks, ridicule scientists/teachers/the educated as elites, deny science as biased or a religion, and go with their feelings despite mountains of proof refuting them.
This election has proven that with no shadow of a doubt.
The best part is watching Republican supporters on my social media go into a mental break down now. They are comparing this to 9/11 and more wild ****. Its almost insane to see.

I wouldn't call it an overreaction. I think there were people who wanted this election to be a slam dunk affirmation that the Trump Presidency was an unmitigated disaster and the election results didn't reflect that. Biden is going to win the popular vote but by far less than what Hilary obtained 4 years ago, and he won't be able to declare victory until tonight or more likely tomorrow. Even then I suspect there will be lawsuits filed mostly because of how close it is in some of these states.
If Biden holds on I don't think the left will lose a lot of sleep over it but it's just not shaping up to what they were expecting. And it definitely looked for a minute that it was going to be a repeat of 2016, which experts and the left were also trying to relay to voters.
Hmmmm, Tami is right. Assuming Trump takes Pennsylvania and the rest of the map stays the same Biden wins 270 to 268, as a result of winning both of the congressional districts in Maine.
Michigan could still go red though, Flint Michigan's votes haven't fully come in (The former hollowed out union stronghold, that Michael Moore bites his nails over) and overseas military votes, so we shall see.
