2016 HN had a big, busy thread for Trump's election and didn't wait for the Electoral College to vote in December.

It stayed up. Please show the same consideration.

Not an American citizen, but I’m really glad that Biden won. USA sets an example for other Western countries, and Trump wasn’t a good example. I hope you’re able to recover from Trumpism and that the Republican Party rejects such violent and authoritarian points of view.

Edit: I’m not saying US citizens should think of other nations when casting their vote. Just glad — as non-US citizen - that Biden won and that our national far-right politicians can finally shut up about Trump

Not saying Biden didn’t win, but is it really the media that makes the call?

I agree.

When I vote I make sure I pick the candidate that other countries would be happy with.

Or 6 years, if you also count the 2016 primaries.

It's flagged why? There's an identically titled one for Trump from 2016.

You still have to deal with a 6/3 hard-right supreme court, courts packed to the gill with FedSoc pasties, and most likely (though depending on a GA runoff) the same senate which basically gridlocked Obama's second term and prepared the grounds for Trump's term.
