Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

When the ultimate loser donald trump loses, he loses. When he wins, everybody loses, including him.

Amazing in a way.

It's hard to let go of an entire world all at once.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

There's no excuse this time around. People know exactly who Trump is, and they have voted for him a second time.

I don't have much to say. I feel a mix of anger and disappointment.

Hopefully the Dems will be able to pick someone better to lead the party four years from now... I wonder what the world will look like four years from now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

If there is a country 4 years from now.

We've decided, as a country, that the Supreme Court doesn't matter, women's rights don't matter, human rights don't matter.

The only thing that matters is Trump and whatever serves Trump.

MSNBC just called Pennsylvania for Trump. Good night everybody!

Fucking fuck. This shit is way too god-damned close. How are so many of my fellow countrymen this god-damned retarded?‽

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

CLOSE??? Trump won, friend. It's over. It's lost

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

This country deserves to be burned to the ground.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

When the shit starts, America, don't forget he told you exactly what he was going to do. You voted for what's coming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 58 minutes ago

I didn't vote for the Fucker in 2016, 2020, or 2024. I was worried this would happen. I hate to be right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

I didn’t that’s for damn sure so don’t lump everyone in one group. That’s as ignorant as the trumpers

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I guess we can only hope that the leopards absolutely massacre those who gave him this power. Democracy will fall all over the world because of this, and his groupies won't have a pot to piss in once his “concepts” are put into action.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago

A guy who makes $58 billion per year (from one job) told people they would experience hardships and they voted for it.

They voted for a guy who said he would put immigrants in camps with immigrants in their family trees and in their fields.

.They voted for a guy who has said he would put the health of others under the umbrella of a famous-named anti-vaxxer born one year before the polio vaccine was developed in his own country.

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

EPA gone.

Fight against climate change over.

SCOTUS justice Aileen Cannon.

No fault divorce gone.

National abortion ban.

Free speech destroyed.

Ukraine gone.

Gaza gone.

NATO alliance gone.

U.S. economy wasted.

U.S. military in the streets.

National concentration camps.

LOL. Wtf, Americans?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago

Ukraine recently said they could make a nuke in a couple weeks if needed...

Trumps going to make that need a reality, so nuclear war just joined the likely list.

Thanks America, for the hell you're about to unleash.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They sold out Ukraine to Russia, whats left of Palestina to Israel and Europe to themselves. This will be the new low point in modern history.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

As an American, I'm sorry. Fuck. I feel like one if those "NoT aLl MeN" people.

[–] Skiluros 14 points 5 hours ago

Ukrainian here, most the of the country and the government thought Trump would win. Some of this could be attributed to just more brand recognition (no one knows much about Harris), but I think people generally felt that Trump was more in line with US society.

FWIW, we've been fighting russian domination for centuries, so in a sense this is just another chapter. No other option than to do what we can.

Harris has ONE path to victory, ONE.

She has to win PA, MI, WI, MN.

Losing any one of those 4 states ends it.

MSNBC just called PA for Trump. That's it, it's over!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

PA alone is 90% reporting with Trump leading in all but 7 districts and having nearly 3.4% more votes. Nothing is finalized, but if that sample is indicative of the overall votes (which by the law of large numbers, 6 million samples is probably accurate), he takes it.

I hate to say it, but Harris would need a miracle to win that state, let alone the other three.

I have young kids.. My wife always asks me if bringing them into this world was a mistake. I was always the optimist telling her I didn't think it so. Now I don't know what to feel. What are they going to do... Ugh. This is a waking nightmare. I'm scared.

Apparently, FOX called WI for Trump. That puts their estimates at him for the win, passing 270.

On a related note, MAGAs on social media are gloating and "owning the libs" like jackasses, as expected.

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

Brilliant!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

So disgusting

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

So this is what we are as a nation?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

2 tickets with women for president 8 years apart, and we vote for the worst possible man for the job. This country is infested to its core with misogyny.

Fuck
