I am not American and the election is giving me anxiety.

Right now, I am watching the live results, and I am terrified to go to bed because it should be a landslide win for Harris, but it isn't.

America is going full fascist right before our eyes.

If I stay up, it's because I'm gaming. Remember, Biden wasn't declared winner until the following Saturday.

If fascism wins, and it very much can, conserve your energy, bottle your anger, and figure out the next move.

2016 I was on a work trip and had to hit the hay early, and that was awful to wake up to. 2020 I stayed up with whiskey and total war. This year I think will be weed and anime but I'll stay up fairly late

I’m going to get incredibly baked and play Minecraft. Then bed.

I will.most likely check a few times and then try to force myself to ignore it because even if networks start calling the race for Harris tonight, the legal shenannigans are going to drag out for a while.

Staying up tonight in the hopes of a clear win is a fool's errand.

I want to sleep, don't know how peaceful it will be. My state, Ohio, (unsurprisingly) went fully blood red in every possible election, including NO to the anti-gerrymandering issue.

I'd like to not lose my job because of a fascist rooting out anyone who doesn't agree with them and sicking their followers on them.

Edit: aaaand AP just called Ted Cruz as a winner for Texas...

I want to try to go to sleep but I know I won't be able to, and I'll wake up in the middle of the night even if I pop an ambien. I tried to keep a good mood today but then my mom had to blurt out that the orange turd already took 2 states while Harris has 1 and now my mind is a wreck

I never gave a shit about a presidential election up until 2016 when I figured Clinton would coast in. Then I made sure to be involved in every election since then, minor and major, voting pure blue. 2020 was still a little scary, but nowhere near as terrifying as this one

Almost certainly, the bloodbath won't be over by bedtime, or by morning. We'll just have a better idea.

Ive been awake for an hour. Fuck i mean first thing i see is trump with 100 point lead. Im tired boss.

285,428 idiots so far have voted for Jill Stein.

They are outnumbered 1.8-to-1 by votes for RFK, Jr. or Chase Oliver. My level of hope that the foolish people on the left will be outnumbered by foolish people on the right is: IT'S NOT FUN ANYMORE

I think I will stop the updates, I'm getting scared now.

White Russians (heh) and trazadone.

I work until 4am Eastern time. I'll be all too aware of it throughout the next few hours as I try to concentrate on work.

I'm a US citizen and voter living on the other side of the world and it's about the end of my lunch break. I'll poke around here between other tasks, but I'm trying not to be upset until after things are well-determined and not just predicted. Looking at a lot of races, there are still huge percentages of votes remaining to be counted and, as they say, it ain't over until it's over. Now, will I be able to sleep later tonight or not is another question.

Definitely staying up until there's either a decision, or an indication that there won't be a decision for a while. Like, "Okay, PA is the decider, and we're not going to know about PA until some time after the sun is up," or something.

I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Bed, my anxiety can't handle it

I'm from Europe and it's already midnight here. I need some sleep.

I work nights so I have no choice. Hopefully the existential dread makes the night go by quicker.

Very much the latter.

I have committed to a new playthrough of Stardew Valley this week, and shall resurface (politically) over the weekend.

I'n either staying up til 11pm central, or I'm going to bed at 7pm and waking up at midnight, depending on how close everything is. Hoping the first swing states have healthy margins

I'm going to get roasty toasted and do other things, but I'm going to check in occasionally most likely

not sure. not going to bed early but well see how long I take watching

Both?
