Remember the Red Mirage and Blue Shift. Podunk, TN gets done counting early. Cities take longer . Its why Trump wanted them to "stop the count" early 4 years ago.

While I'd like to think that people aren't fucking stupid and it would've been a blue wave, I'm not surprised that this year is almost exactly a replay so far as 2020. I don't understand the doom and gloom in this thread yet.

I mean, there's still a chance. Harris could pull off a win with the mail-in ballots. But this isn't 2020, when tons of people mailed them in due to COVID.

Does the percentage of votes counted usually factor in the uncounted mail ballots as well?

Good question. I’m not sure.

In order to relax, I look at the little victories. The self-proclaimed Black Nazi didn’t win the governor’s seat in North Carolina.

You guys remember they had to count for FIVE DAYS last time, right?

I remember, yes. But I share my life with at least one other person who can only see the encroaching red, who has been seeing it play out in their dreams for the last 6 months, flooding and engulfing the country like the elevator doors opening in The Shining, and they are very vocally worried that they are seeing those dreams transposed onto real life.

_I_ know that we have already exercised every (legal) option we have available to us as individuals, but my reminders to that effect are doing very little to drive away their latent hysteria.

I can't even fathom how, or why, it should even be close, god forbit this close. I know I don't have a lot of faith in the human race, but even this is horrible. This shouldn't even be a contest.

Yeah this is it for me. Even factoring in that all the places I hang around online are echo chambers of their own it still felt like everything was going toward a Harris win so it's just...disheartening and defeating to see so many people so blindly supporting a convicted felon who can't even string together a coherent sentence to lead the US.

I'm probably just going to take a day or so to emotionally and mentally recover, then start planning and taking action. That usually helps me alleviate feelings of hopelessness, even if I'm not necessarily doing something tangibly beneficial.

And it's a pretty general red shift, it's not just in states with republican voting officials or anything. So it at least looks legit.
Champagne in Russia, China and Israel; blood in Ukraine and Gaza tonight.

Just fucking brutal watching my country go for Trump a second time. He didn’t even fucking run a good campaign. I don’t think Harris ran a perfect campaign but at least I understood her strategy. Trump on the other hand seemed to lurch wildly without any kind of coherent plan.

And honestly it isn't even close - he might actually get popular vote, too.

Wisconsin - and with it the presidency - has been called too.

We've had a good run guys, but thief is the end of Western Democracy as a leading world power.

Preliminary analysis points to "the economy" as a main factor where T is outperforming H by 80/20 among voters who rated that most important.
Anyone with two braincells to ruin together knows the economy is going to get worse, not better, with T.... But I suppose that doesn't describe a lot of T voters.
