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.

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.

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] 33 points 10 hours 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.

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 45 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 hours 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.

So disgusting

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] 22 points 9 hours 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.

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.

Well damn. This is as much a referendum on the character of America. What a searing indictment that it's even close at all.

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] 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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