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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have a one year old. I'm terrified at how things are going to look in 4 years.

I have five between 20 and 33. I weep for them. All of us.

The choice was a future for them or a now for the elite. The Me Last ~~generation~~ people seem~~s~~ to have won - and even if not, showed that we are lost anyway without a paradigm shift.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

10, 3 and 1 here...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I decided many years ago not to have kids precisely for this reason.

The best you can do now is to raise them to be better than this.

My kid grew up in the first Trump bullet that we managed to barely dodge.

We planned at that time start to look at colleges outside of the US and my kids is actually interested now.

Guess my family might end up being another first generation immigrant yet again but that won't be a bad thing.

I'm sorry to say, friend, that climate change itself made it a mistake. This is just icing on the cake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This next 2 years was my last chance to have kids. I kept waiting. I don't think I can do this anymore. I wanted to be a good parent but what kind of parent knowledge brings a child into this? I feel so lost.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you afford to adopt? There are plenty of kids who are already here, might as well take them in and improve their lives if you can.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Thr thought has crossed my mind. My partner hates children and just wants a quiet peaceful life just the 2 of us. Took decade to convince that this isn't a terrible idea and now I can no longer fight against it. It's over. Even if Trump doesn't do anything crazy, I know he won't make things better and we are out of time to wait for a better outcome. Nature is uncaring.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Raise your kids to be loving, respectful people, that's the only chance we have for a better future. If we leave the future generations to be raised by people full of hate we're doomed.
