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.

77 EC votes from Battleground States:

10+16+15+19+11+6

NC called for Trump. -16 here, +16 to Trump.

Which leaves 229 EC votes in Red States.

RFK in charge of HHS and Leon in charge of gutting the new deal. Jesus Christ.

U.S. military in the streets.

Pretty god damn sad that American are this fucking racist and stupid.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 52 minutes ago

Missouri passes a statewide abortion protection which will be overturned next year by the guy they voted for President.

Brilliant!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Trump kills a million Americans with Covid and they put him back in office. Unreal.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

Not just that, part of his campaign message was "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago". 4 years ago was lockdowns and bodies being stored in refrigerated trucks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 minutes ago

And buying toilet paper from the back of a scalpers Subaru.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago

It is real though.

You can't expect a society dominated by oligarchs (not just on an economic and political level, but more importantly the broader social conscious) to put up any effective challenge to an oligarch candidate.

The lack of "on the ground" protest activities when that US abortion protection law was repealed is a perfect example.

Doesn't help that the US opposition is largely corrupt as well.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

So this is what we are as a nation?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 48 minutes ago

Yes. Yes, it is.

It's not what we want, but reality doesn't give a fuck about what we want.

We have to get ourselves ready for the shit storm that's coming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 24 minutes ago (1 children)

Georgia not looking great. Sorry friends I think we're cooked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 minutes ago

Georgia only voted Blue once since 1996, it was never going to happen.

Put a fork in human civilization. It's done. The door is closed on climate change.

Yeah, fuck. I just feel wrecked by this.

I knew Americans were shitty people, but I didn't imagine they would be this shitty. Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 50 minutes ago

Wait until the FBI, IRS, and DOJ is weaponized against Trump's opponents. With Presidential immunity. Jesus Christ.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 29 minutes ago) (1 children)

So uh.. what's the right attitude to deal with this assuming we get a Trump? And I mean personally. I lean towards absurdism.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 minutes ago

Stoicism.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 30 minutes ago

SCOTUS is gone for 40 years.

Death clock started for the New Deal.

With NC Called for Trump tonight, its time for us all to take a rest and sleep. NC was the early decision point. We all expected it to go Trump, but if it went Kamala then Trump basically lost.

Now that Trump is confirmed to win NC, its a long road until PA is called. And Kamala needs to win PA, MI, and WI all together. No point stressing about it now, just sleep and you'll know tomorrow morning for two of those three. And wait until Friday before PA is called (or later, if its really really close).

Staying up a bit longer to see how AZ goes is interesting but likely not too important anymore.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 41 minutes ago (1 children)

the county trends in PA WI and MI compared to 2020 are looking bad. don't get your hopes up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 38 minutes ago

Trying not to convlude this is over but... man. This is looking really over.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 30 minutes ago

Y'all are doomscrolling and there is like 80 million votes to count yet in mail ballots, sheesh

Whoever ran the Harris campaign on Reddit deserves their salary. That was an amazing echo chamber that had me fooled. I was expecting a blue wave better than Biden 2020. Too bad it doesn't translate into the election.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 44 minutes ago

Trump always overperforms. Even in 2020 he did better than he had any right to. This time there is no covid hanging over his head and Biden/Harris are taking all the blame for inflation.

It also does not hurt that millions of Americans willingly consume hours of right wing propaganda everyday. Fox News remains one of if not the top cable channel (after sports) and Joe Rogan one of the top podcasts. Meanwhile CNN has shifted right, papers like the Washington post have been compromised, and the remaining “liberal media” is so obsessed with appearing unbiased that they end up “sane washing” GOP craziness and inflating minor democrat flubs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 42 minutes ago

Double standard. Trump wins 2016 and it's 4chan and reddit won it for him. Democrats finally get a clue 8 years later an start using social media but this time it doesn't factor.

Goodbye Gaza... great work everybody! Also, this is shocking. 😐

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Goodbye Ukraine. Unless All of Europe Unites and militarizes, its over.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Goodbye to the climate.

Goodbye to NATO.

Goodbye to US world leadership.

Jesus Christ. What an epic disaster.

China makes a move on Taiwan in the next couple years. Calling it now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 35 minutes ago* (last edited 20 minutes ago)

Ra Ra Wish Putin.

You sure showed those immigrants.

Edit: it rhymes in American voter

Edit edit: Oh wow Cruz is back too, he can go tell them in person.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 54 minutes ago* (last edited 53 minutes ago)

The broadcaster in Canada interviewed a young Trump supporter woman. She said all the abortion fears are made up. And that abortion isn't real healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 hour ago (22 children)

I can't believe we're a few votes away from having a stooge at the helm and an anti vaxxer as the head of the CDC and FDA.

This fucking hurts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 minutes ago (1 children)

And don't forget that Herschel Walker will be a DoD lead.

It's game over if Michigan falls to Trump. Good job being mealy mouthed about genocide. We can't upset AIPAC can we?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

Gaza is definitely gone now. China probably moves on Taiwan. Ukraine is finished.

I am extremely troubled for the future of America. Not because of the current election results; but that this many Americans think Trump was and will be a good president. It’s infuriating the amount of single issue voters there are in the US.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

It looks like people think Trump will fix the economy since that is the leading issue in exit polls. Massive trade wars are going to make the inflation of the last 2 years look mild. Americans are deeply stupid.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 hour ago

Yeah it's daft.

Every Trump voter interviewed says something like "yeah he's not perfect but I'm concerned about the economy".

What they actually mean is that they have no idea how the economy works but Trump makes them feel better about hating minorities.
