..... he isn't the president elect. He hasn't been certified the winner of any states yet. And since you're bringing up Al Gore, remember that the media prematurely declared him president elect in 2000 as well.

Dude, I get it. Your guy didn't win. I, and the majority of the voters, were there 4 years ago and I/we know it hurts.
But being in (what looks like) denial about it does not help the process of moving on.
Yes, you are right, the media ended up getting it wrong in 2000 , though they missed the mark by an infinitesimally small amount. (less than a thousand votes)
"Once bitten, twice shy" as the saying goes. It's why they didn't call it yesterday.

I'll level with you. I think there was widespread voter fraud and shenanigans. I still have just enough trust in our American system to believe that any illegitimate votes will be nullified, one way or another.



 I find it odd that, for the 2016 US Presidential election, more than 71 million people tuned in to watch it on television but for the 2020 election only a little over 59 million people watched.  A record number of votes were cast for this 2020 election - in fact, this election had the highest voter turnout in 120 years - but somehow that didn't translate into a record number of viewers tuning in to see how their chosen candidate made out.



I haven't watched network or cable TV for more than a decade at this point. It's all streaming on demand. News I get from yahoo, reuters, etc. You better believe there were a record number of viewers on this election, just not necessarily watching television. Also don't really get the voter fraud angle, it's the default goto for the right whenever they get pissy about something, and every single time it's shown they were wrong about it. Voter fraud is such an infinitesimally small problem that it almost doesn't exist, and chances are equal that it will be someone on the right or left that does it.
