What's this?

In hindsight, if current projection holds, this might actually be a decent

outcome.

I wanted a GOP bloodbath to repudiate their methods over the past few years. But I always fear that would give Dem too much a mandate to force things too much in the other extreme. If result is indeed Biden win narrowly and GOP holds a narrow Senate margin, it might not be a bad governing for the next 2 to 4 years with both sides treading carefully, knowing how much they will depend on the moderate.

Also, this delay election result I think dissipate a lot of pent up tension. I didn't hear any report of unrest last night which might have happen if either side had a decision win .
