On Friday, several American cities saw crowds of people taking to the streets for another round of post-election protests - something that social media users this time described as a celebration of what has not officially happened yet - a Joe Biden victory in the 2020 presidential race.
According to social media users, people have already thrown parties, put on funny costumes, and danced the election stress away, apparently ignoring the fact that several key states are still counting their votes.
Videos from different US cities have been shared on social media, capturing people, "unicorns", "eagles", "White Houses", and other personas dancing and cheering, while holding up Biden-Harris posters.
