Betting exchanges now have Biden winning.

From a purely selfish UK pov then I'd say trump winning would be better for us as a country moving forward. From a financial pov for stocks & shares etc at least in the short to medium term, a trump win would be best.

For stability and long term relationships both within the USA and world wide, would it be the best? I'm not convinced. But it's a lot like the last election here....the opposition is just that poor that you can't see them doing any better and possibly worse. The democrats will never have such an easy chance again and they chose a very poor candidate to run against trump. This should have been cut and dry for them but they messed up

The democrats put all their eggs in one basket (basket case?) with Hilary Clinton. Apparently groomed for the presidency since her college days, which seems a rather long project. It backfired on them spectacularly and left them scratting about for a suitable candidate.

But, maybe all is not lost. The swings on Smarkets throughout the night, and this morning, have been huge. At one point Biden was 3/1, around the same time the beeb were exploring the consequences of a 269/269 tie. Shortly after Trump declared all postal votes fraud, the postal votes started eating into his market lead. Funny that. And four hours later Biden is now 3/1 on.

What's wrong with suggesting that all lives matter? What's wrong with suggesting that fraudulent ballots shouldn't be included in the final count?

If I'm right, I think your question is, what's wrong with being a racist or a conspiracy theorist?
Well in my view, both are biased and based on fantasies in one way or another.

I've seen political betting market get things more wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen these markets this volatile. Some of the better Twitter accounts seem to think Wisconsin and Michigan are now likely Biden, but I still wouldn't rule anything out here. One lesson is, defeating an incumbent president is as tough as hell. The Dems seem to be beating themselves up that any victory wouldn't be a landslide, but should Biden win out it will be quite an achievement.

Conspiracy theorist? There are plenty on here willing to believe anything retreading Trump, the moon landings, shape-sh8fting aliens and a host of others on here.

Sureoy it is racist to declare that one set of lives matter more than others?

I think, old bean, that you might just need to qualify your assertion that the promotion of equality constitutes racism. Also, that simply disliking Mr Trump doesn't automatically disprove his [as yet unproven] claim that fraudulent ballots have lost him this election.

Well, qualify those claims or have yourself checked for a brain lesion

If that were true, then there would never have been a need for the various Acts and Amendments that have been dedicated to fighting the existence of racial inequality.
