electoralism

Prediction: Kamala wins, but she gets impeached less than 2 years in. For some unexplained reason, her getting impeached will have actual consequences.

Stop the count

All i have to say is

lol. Lmao

No wait i got something else: eat shit DNC, maybe NOW you fucks will actually care about an ongoing genocide (i doubt it tho)

"Look, I can admit it. We live in a democracy and Americans want Trump/ Republicans to have free reign. I'll hope for the best. Won't be protesting or organizing either. I'll just enjoy my money and privilege and a government that will now cater to me.

I do fear that the results will be very bad for the people that voted for it. But the people have spoken. God speed."

You've done it, you've broken liberalism down to it's bare essentials (courtesy of r/politics once again)

Pls let Michigan be the sole deciding state so the “no one even knows what Gaza is” crowd will shut up

biden could still legally murder trump and every republican that won office if he wanted to

My turbolib natohawk dad just went "keep your bags packed and money in your wallet in case you have to leave, the biggest shithead has just become the leader of the world" regarding Trump getting elected.

We are in Finland... wtf does he think is going to happen? How are these people real? How are these people this gone that they think the US president is the leader of the world. Unless they only count the west as "the world" (I assume it's this).

I didn't want to stir the pot by asking if nato is still a good idea or where he thinks we should go, Russia? Lol

President Maduro: I've been asked a lot, 'What’s better for Venezuela? A Trump win or a Harris win? I say whoever wins, what's better for Venezuela and Latin America is to have our own path, not depend on anyone, is to guarantee our countries."

the libs have been scratched

i repeat

the libs have been scratched

I bet all those millions liz chaney fans are still in line to vote

last comment: Looks like there's TWO walls the Dems couldn't get built.

alright I'm turning off the news to go walk my dog. If Trump follows through on his threat to round us up I hope to meet some of y'all in the Gulag brought to you by Amazon.

I think when Trump said "Just vote this time, after this election you will never have to vote again" just meant that he doesn't care about the next elections and want people to vote for him now, and he doesn't mind if they don't even bother to vote for the next Republican candidate lol

I'm glad to see PSL, the Green Party, and Cornel West are all collaborating. I don't think I've seen major third-party campaigns explicitly support each other like this in the past. Obviously it won't change the outcome of the election at all, but for people like me, where I had to vote for Stein since Claudia and Karina (as well as Cornel West) got removed from the ballot in Georgia, it's helpful to see there's at least a similarly-aligned option

So depressing seeing staunchly pro-Palestine people on social media obsess over the election results and wish for a Kamala win. Like take the fucking flag out of your bio asshole

biden would have won

I know people are kind of enjoying schadenfreude here, but it is alarming how many liberals are just going mask off in their tantrum against ethnic minorities in the US, and just brazenly expressing not only depraved indifference to Palestine/Gaza but active contempt and hatred of them and their sympathizers which liberals blame for losing the election. Their coping mechanisms are devolving into *maybe we shouldn't protect trans people, immigrants, BIPOC. PEP is also clearly the right choice."

I felt like our secret shared hope was that liberals would somehow rediscover their affection for organizing, protesting, canvassing for causes, but AOC encapsulated it in her video about #resistance being ceremonial and performative bullshit.

Life is going to get worse, and I'd be fooling myself to declare that the difference between a Harris defeat from a victory is the normalization of reactionary politics. It just stings differently because in 2016 there was a vague hope, given Sanders' campaign and reinvigoration of socialism/leftism, that life did not have to be that way.

This is so funny, this fucker is about to win again. I genuinely thought that it was joever for him in the last few days, but you can never count him out. God I will enjoy the meltdown so much, I hope that the Dems lose PA by the exact number of Jill Stein votes just to laugh at them even more.

Even if Kamala wins, Trump derangement syndrome will continue. Biden has been president for four years now and libs still won’t shut up about Trump.

Alright, I’m heading to bed. I’ll miss the results, but when I wake up, I want the U.S. empire gone and every fascist brought to justice. It’s been good here, and I feel a strong connection to all the comrades in the U.S. who have to witness this going down. Stay strong. Solidarity and love.

Nevada Secretary of State is saying they're rejecting a record number of ballots because the handwritten signatures don't match the digital pad signatures from the DMV. Disproportionately affects young people since the digital signature thing is a recent change. Expect results to take days if it isn't close

at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Ms. Harris’s historically Black alma mater where thousands of her supporters had flocked for her own event, a crowd that started the night cheering and dancing fell eerily silent as North Carolina was called for Mr. Trump.

“You won’t hear from the vice president tonight,” one of her campaign co-chairs, Cedric Richmond, told the thinning crowd at about 12:45 a.m.

NYT

My trans partner is voting for the first time since like 2016 or something, naturally scared of Project 2025. Naturally I have some sympathy for people in a more vulnerable spot, but I'm obviously getting a wall when I mention how Kamala is already giving trans people the cold shoulder.

lol. lmao, even.

Haha, Nate silver is getting demoted beyond even Nate Tin. Nate Manganese at best

I'm expecting a Harris win tbh

That Selzer lady does have a good track record and it seems like a convincing narrative that pollsters mega overcorrected towards Donnie for fear of underestimating his performance a third time.

Plus I think it fits with the American political tradition of "unprecedented yet boring". Dems pulling off an unheard of mid-race switch, winning, and then governing in a dreadfully milquetoast fashion just to lose to the 2028 competent fascist MAGA inheritor feels apropos.

Welcome to our non-stop election coverage we will be speaking into this camera nonstop for the next 24 hours not a single space no full stops barely any grammar at all just non stop live election coverage we break now to my colleague Julia Julia what are you seeing where you are thanks Greg what an exciting day and we are seeing lots and lots of excitement and energy about our non stop election coverage ok thanks Julia now to Raymond who has prepared some visuals for us thanks Greg as you can see in this chart our coverage is truly non stop and if we run the simulations now these are very early numbers less than 1% into our non stop coverage but we are already seeing one minute and if coverage continues this way over the next 24 hours then our coverage will be truly non stop but there are some very important hours still to come so we will have to see if this trend continues that’s amazing to see thanks Raymond isn’t great to have some maths nerd in a bow tie explain some little pie charts to us it’s really shaping up to be a tight race can our coverage really reach 24 hours? Whoa I need to interject there Greg because that question mark while grammatically required in that instance was some punctuation and I think that might represent a real turning point in this race as some might see that as an early sign of this being an unsustainable exercise and frankly I think our audience are already getting tired of this bit well now just wait a bit Bill we will come to you soon but I’m hearing that Julia has another update for us, Julia?

Man I thought I was Jokerfied before but I literally just had a multi minute hysterical laughing fit

I say I don’t care about this election, but living in the heart of the great satan and hearing everyone talk about it, it’s hard not to be at least a little interested in the results.

How I feel about it seems to be completely dependent upon the last person I talked to. After Kamala announced her candidacy I was going hard on my anti-kkkopmala shit since the libs were being so completely insufferable. Now that things have calmed down a bit and I’ve gone back to my normal state of having to deal with chuds constantly, I’m more inclined to hate Trump more since I would just relish the chance to see these people eat shit a second time. Bonus would be seeing Elon’s meltdown in real time. Lucky for me it’s pretty much 50-50 and could go either way!

Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

This election is such a joke lol

all those articles from months ago that were like "it's really strange how Americans seem to think the economy is bad when it's actually really great and awesome. what could possibly be the explanation? republican media? brainwashing? have they just not been told that the economy is good? are they spoiled from all the money we gave them during the pandemic?" are extremely funny in hindsight.

political analysts spent years of their lives in the best universities; now baffled at the fact that the area under the curve of an inflation graph is more important than whether the curve is going up or down, and whether wages outpace that inflation. calculus makes fools of us all, I suppose. so as much as I wish that Harris would have lost solely on the basis of pro-Palestinian voters (this would be the best possible timeline out of all the horrible ones where Trump wins), it might in fact just be the economy, stupid

(UPDATED) Kamala has officially lost!

: <- OFFICIAL losers LOL (common zionist L)

Fun fact! Leslie Feinberg started hir political involvement by organizing for Palestine!! 🥰🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️✡️

Goodnight everyone!! ❤️

New electoral map just dropped

Wake me up when November ends 🙄🥱😴

Democrats when democrats win: See, being more racist and more right-wing pays off!

Democrats when republicans win: See, we lost because we were too woke and was not sufficiently racist or right-wing!

This dynamic seems to be universal across the world's "liberal democracies" today.

Im not American, but if I were, Id vote third party in every election. Seems like the only way (from an outsider’s perspective) to tell the two major parties to get fucked, even if it’s just in a minor way.

Plus you get the joy to tell libs you VOTED (3rd party)

The final crushing defeat of the ideology known as “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss”

Needle at 69% Trump, I'm going to bed :catgirl-flop:

GG Kamala, should have considered the context instead of just expecting to fall out of a coconut tree and win.

I'm completely deranged right now

Thew only good thing that happens during elections is once in a while you see a former BlueMAGA no matter who account standing on top of a T-34 waving the red banner and it's like "Wow, they can learn."

If Kamala loses, I actually don’t think them blaming the left is gonna work. She went so unabashedly hard right in the campaign, and she was doing so well when she let Walz do his thing. Then she inexplicably made Liz Cheney her de facto VP and started talking like an open fascist.

I don’t know if we can pin it all on Gaza, but I do think the only conclusion anyone will be able to come to is campaigning to the right of Biden was terrible.

prediction: no matter what happens, democrats will conclude they NEED to get more racist

Something to have ready when the Democrats lose Georgia:

Atlanta Democrats Blocked the Cop City Referendum — and Alienated a Voter Turnout Operation

In the battleground state of Georgia, Democrats’ decision to disregard the will of 116,000 voters could have major consequences.
