Fox News (among many other outlets[*]) is reporting: Biden wins presidency, Trump denied second term in White House:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has defeated President Trump, denying him a second term after a bitter campaign and dramatic, prolonged vote count in battleground states that sparked a flurry of lawsuits.
The Fox News Decision Desk projected Saturday that Biden will win the state of Nevada and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, giving the former vice president the electoral votes he needs to win the White House.
[...] "I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris," Biden said in a statement. "In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America."
He added: "With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation."
Biden's campaign announced that the president-elect and Harris, his running mate, will speak at an event in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware at 8 p.m. ET.
Joseph Biden would become the 46th President of the US; U.S. Senator Kamala Harris of California, the 49th Vice President.

IMPORTANT: There are still votes to be counted, a recount has been requested in one state, and there are numerous court challenges launched by the Trump campaign. Further, nothing is official until the actual vote by the Electoral College.

The Libertarian Party received a vote in the electoral college, by "faithless electors", in 1972 and 2016.
But don't let me interrupt your trolling with facts. Prithee, continue.

That might not be happenstance. I suspect that many of them dislike Trump more than Biden.
FWIW, I'm basically Green, but the national Green party lost my affiliation last time when their candidate recommended voting for Trump. I didn't really like Hillary, and I don't really like Biden, but I'd vote for a rabid dog before I've vote for Trump.

You say that like Trump is anything close to libertarian. Those guys want to make the government smaller, not capture it.
Face it, Trump failed to irreparably wreck the government. Biden will pick up the pieces and put it back together good as new. If you wanted to break the government, you should have picked someone methodical. Someone competent.

I didn't say fix. I fully expect it to look exactly like it did under Obama.
Personally, I find that better than the alternative. But it is far from fixing what's wrong.

"They say the world is always ending, but it hardly ever does."
Trump did his best but it's a pretty high bar :)
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

To be fair, a large portion of libertarians are very much in favor of open borders so it is doubtful they'd migrate to Trump. Both parties forget that Greens are not confused Democrats and Libertarians are not confused Republicans.

No. That is what enabled me to cast my protest vote for Jo20's bizarre libertarian adventure.
If I lived in a swing state, I would have had to have gone Biden.
