Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.

Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can't start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.

Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don't report until ALL 1,800 are in.

Currently 232 EC votes from Blue States:

4+19+10+7+3+3+4+10+11 +4+14+28+4+3+13+54+12 +10+5+8+6

93 EC votes from Battleground States:

10+16+15+16+19+11+6

Which leaves 213 EC votes in Red States.

9+6+6+6+8+6+10+5+3+7 +3+40+30+11+8+17+9+11+4+3+4+4+3

270 to Win.

I know it’s too early to tell but Tx being blue is making me so hard 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 minutes ago

It’s leaning red again, but only 11% reporting, so it’s still too early.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 28 minutes ago

It’s a good sign! Hopefully not a blue mirage.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 hour ago

Howdy, folks. First time doom scrolling? Enjoy the ride. I'm going to go work out and come back later

Florida looking bad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 minutes ago (1 children)

Yeh, but Florida always looks bad

[–] [email protected] -2 points 16 minutes ago

Lol. Two weeks ago this forum was wacking itself off to Florida turning blue. The only thing Florida turns blue is Lemmy's balls.

Harris's vote sharing being down that much needs to be a wake up call to people who live in a revisionist reality.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 56 minutes ago (2 children)

God this hurts to watch right now. There's too many data points to comprehend but too few for commentators to tell me the trend.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 minutes ago

So far, no real surprises.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 43 minutes ago (2 children)

Just gonna put all my stuff under this comment so I don't spam this thread.

The Australian Broadcasting Commission's live blog is pretty great:

I can't

If you're feeling stressed out about all of this, imagine what it must feel like to be Trump. He's either about to go on the biggest power trip anyone has ever gone on ever, or he's going to go to prison where he'll probably die.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 minutes ago

or he's going to go to prison

Someone's an optimist!

He’s a narcissist. He doesn’t believe he will ever actually experience any consequences. He is incapable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 42 minutes ago

Narcissistic mortification is "the primitive terror of self dissolution, triggered by the sudden exposure of one's sense of a defective self ... it is death by embarrassment".

When narcissistic mortification is experienced for the first time, it may be defined as a sudden loss of control over external or internal reality, or both. This produces strong emotions of terror while at the same time narcissistic libido (also known as ego-libido) or destrudo is built up. Narcissistic libido or ego-libido is the concentration of libido on the self. Destrudo is the opposite of libido and is the impulse to destroy oneself and everything associated with oneself.

I'm hoping for this outcome personally...🤞

Like when Palpatine was laying at the feet of Mace Windu, knowing he was at the culmination of his plans and he just needed to see which way Anakin would swing...

I sometimes wonder what I did to end up on this side of the post harambe split.

The guy that played Logan Roy really hates Trump.

That's Brian Fucking Cox thank you very much.

George Santos. Not pictured Michael Cohen.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I have to say that the wording here feels oddly suspect. I have never gotten a sticker that said anything other than "I voted!" and it really concerns me about the subtle messaging here. I tried to make a separate post about it, but image posts aren't allowed apparently.
