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.

A lot of accelerationists will be quite happy. Doomsday cults are unfortunately nothing new.
I think a lot of it was backlash to “woke politics”, which is an extremely effective rallying cry for the right. The majority of the country does not appreciate medical nuance or worrying about pronouns, ain’t no energy for that. Latinos being surprisingly hawkish on the immigration. International isolationism. Distrust of institutions and general dissatisfaction with the status quo, which Harris inherited as VP.

Expecting people to be logical is a pretty high bar. History does not reflect large amounts of logic. Ease-of-understanding and emotion are also significant factors.
I’ve said for a while that I would be absolutely unsurprised to see another Trump term, we live in the post-satire era.
I think a lot of people need to have a good hard look at themselves due to the ridicule and derision they directed at the opposition electorate rather than trying to engage them and win them over.
I dunno, Trump was pretty damn derisive and he won. Maybe we need to get nastier.
Dude literally said he’d turn the military on and jail his political opponents. Didn’t try to go across the isle at all…
Yeah but he had the populist message vs the establishment VP. It’s the see-saw we’ve been seeing for awhile, whichever party is in charge suffers. Bernie and co have a viable strategy to counter this.
Oh I get it. Was just trying to strengthen your point about “reaching across the isle”.
I think that’s called “lowest common denominator” politics and whilst I understand why it could seem like the natural thing to do, it’s not something I’ll be taking part in.
Yeah me neither.
