@vivify saidReally, every major news source... including Fox News?
Every major news station and news publication in America, including Fox News.
The word "major" isn't much of a qualifier for eliminating news sources you want to ignore and hope others will ignore as well.
I could (literally) spend all day showing you a variety of news stories from *major* sources for you to ignore. Here's just a few for you to dismiss out of hand, and as a bonus possibly set sonhouse into a tizzy.

Name one major news source that didn't declare Trump the winner. Just one.

I doubt Trump would think that through.
None of that will happen but I bet Trump thought about it like I said.

@lemon-lime saidDo you think Trump will get less than 306 electoral votes?

@divegeester saidI know where you're coming from. I don't post in many threads, but I do look at most of them.

So I'll let you in on a little secret. For a number of different reasons I'm hoping Biden is the next president.
For one, we can break free of an 8 year cycle of swinging back and forth from one party to the other. A shorter 4 year span would make the contrast between the two party's policies (foreign and domestic) much easier to compare, and would also make it more difficult for corupt politicians to rely on short term memories for making their pitches.
And this election wasn't a total loss for Republicans. Dems were expecting a landside where Biden would come riding in on a big blue wave. ( Kowabunga, man! ) Not only did that not happen, but the so called 'blue wave' didn't have enough power to sweep over the senate and house, which would have given Dems the next best thing to absolute power.
So if anyone is wondering why so many Dems are unhappy right now, and pointing fingers at one another, there's your answer.
