It's almost as if the court cases are a smokescreen to prevent riots and keep a sliver of hope that enough believe that the system works.

I'm sorry if my question sounds stupid but I'm not an American citizen, is it the first time the US ends up with a such long delay to proclaim their new president?
Here's an off-topic fun fact: Belgium had no government for 589 days between 2010-2011.

And it worked better than when there was one.

1800 was the longest, the Presidency wasn't decided until 17th February 1801.
Nowadays each elector casts a vote for President and another for Vice President, but back in 1800 they cast two votes with the candidate getting the most votes being the President and the runner up becoming the Vice President. This worked in 1788 and 1792, everyone voted for Washington but had different views on who should be VP, in 1796 it messed up, the Adams/Pinckney ticket should have won but not enough electors voted for Pinckney meaning that Jefferson (the defeated Presidential candidate) ended up second and Vice President even though he was from a different party.
Both parties were more organised for 1800, this time everyone would vote for the head of the ticket except for one who would cast their second vote for someone else. So for the Federalists, Adams got 65 votes, his VP candidate Pinckney got 64 and Jay got 1. But something went wrong on the Democratic-Republican side of the election, both Jefferson and Burr got 73 votes, a tie for the Presidency. The Constitution to the rescue, a contingent election in the House, each state's delegation to cast a vote for either Jefferson or Burr. All the Democratic-Republicans voted for Jefferson, the Federalists didn't really like Burr, but at least he wasn't Jefferson. There were 16 states at the time, 8 states voted for Jefferson, 6 for Burr and 2 (Maryland and Vermont) were divided. No majority for either candidate so they had a second ballot, same result, a third, a fourth and so on. It was a week later on the 36th time of asking that some of the Federalists decided to not cast their ballots, 2 states flipped from deadlock to Jefferson, 2 states flipped from Burr to deadlock and Jefferson was elected President 10-4 with Burr as his Vice President.
Jefferson went on to serve two terms, the second with George Clinton as his Vice-President. Burr went off to shoot Hamilton in the infamous duel and get tried for treason. The US passed the Twelfth Amendment to bring the voting system firmly into the 19th century so we didn't have this flavour of mess again.

Please stop sharing that video goy, as a fellow white person with israeli heritage it makes me very uncomfortable.
Well TBF, D..C. and LA haven't removed their boarded up things, so yeah. Personally I think all the votes in Alaska and North Carolina will be hopefully all counted before Thanksgiving and hopefully today.

what's funny is that for decades the GOP railed against "activist judges" and how "legislation from the bench" was un-American. Now they are selling a fantasy that the SCOTUS will overturn an election Biden won by roughtly 8 million votes.
Like the GOP wanted a "big tent" party. They got one, including the Circus that comes with it.

Regardless of certain similar factors that some can bring up, this is the first time in modern US history something like this has ever happened to this extent, yes.
Also if you're a real Belgian then post your mustache.

I guess I have to walk back some comments about Biden supporters being so unenthusiastic about Biden, since some of them are evidently enthusiastic enough to threaten to kill someone's family and pets if they don't do their job fast enough for the mob's liking.

We heard this from the left at the midterms, and then they immediately went back to demonizing entire demographics immediately afterwards.

Yep the left wants to take power after all to them as americans we literally elected orange hitler and Americans need to be punished for his brutal racist fascist regime.
Where most times the right simply cucks and says okay and only wins because the left goes too far for some people. This time around I think they pissed off large enough numbers of people to see that they are angry. They don't want you spreading conspiracy theories or false information because we'll they don't want you revealing the truth.
