electoralism
Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
truly... Biden was the only one who could beat Trump
what are the odds of kilometer-wide meteorite hitting north america within the next few hours?
Finally, can't wait for tomorrow. I've been waiting for so long. I really want to read the Chainsaw Man chapter that comes out tomorrow
2 more votes for De La Cruz (wife and I).
Let's fucking go!
... I guess
it's looking like Nebraska might simultaneously guarantee abortion to viability (up ~10 points) and ban abortion after the first trimester (within a point). Voters are so fuckin stupid
Reporters - "Here are some early results! Remember - early results don't mean anything."
I am reaching the point of utter disbelief
Watching this Godamn fucking election coverage on the mainstream press
The “analyst” clearly showed how Kamala Harris can lose if she doesn’t get enough votes in one key state, though the numbers in question showed millions more votes than Trump
What is wrong with the average person that they continue to stand by this bullshit? Fucking rubes
Also worth mentioning how funny/bonkers it is that we don't know who wins on election night. Because the other team brings in rules lawyers to make the bean counters double count and triple count the beans because reasons. While in other countries they know like an hour after the polls close.

I vooted. Scratched one in for Claudia and a couple Greens for House/Senate. Wait was longer than usual. I think they combined a couple extra precincts into this polling place. Took about 25 minutes in total, but the line was probably twice as long when I left vs. when I got there.
Stopped at the liquor store on the way home, and as I was leaving I passed the cashier in line. Atmosphere was rather mellow. Lots of people brought their kids. From the vibes, you could hardly tell this is the last election in history.
I don't think i've ever seen the libs so scratched
They are frothing at the fucking mouth right now
NYT needle dropped from 88% to 85% odds of Trump winning
I'M LIBBING UP!
edit: it's back to 87%
Already hearing people pre-emptively blaming Stein for Michigan and Arizona
CNN:
Significant piece of data coming from early exit polling. Trump is up by 11 points with independents in Georgia, according to the initial exits. Biden won independent voters by 9 points in Georgia. That's a big swing.
First time I voted for a president and didn't feel dread or disgust after. I just feel like my task for the day is done and I can no longer think about it. Went PSL instead of Green because the green VP has been weird these past few days. Shame cause I liked Jill.
I'm having a lot of morbid fun right now sorting /r/politics posts by "controversial". The mods there are obviously having trouble keeping up with their usual censorship duties. There's a lot of leftist-perspective truth being spoken.
Kamala losing Michigan 52-45 with 56% reporting

On November 5, I will vote against genocide
"What I have seen in Palestine has convinced me not to vote for Kamala Harris for the sake of the Palestinian and American people."
I'm posting this because this was written by someone who's been there on the ground and I do like how he ties it to how he plans on voting.
I had hoped that third parties would get a larger share of the vote this time, but from what I can tell, they did rather poorly. Honestly more disappointing than the actual result
Everyone remember to leave your sample ballot under your pillow tonight for when Uncle Sam visits, otherwise he will purge your voter registration
lol, they're really losing to Trump twice.
really was a terrible candidate, all they could say was ”Black South Asian president #girlboss”, no substance other than ”the genocide will continue and here's Dick Cheney”.
Who could've predicted that a right wing ghoul campaign including muh border wouldn't appeal to anyone?
She's not winning Arizona, dems are straight up delusional about that
That state is deep south in terms of racism against black candidates, in fact I would maintain its one of the top five racist states in the country
Assuming Trump wins, he's definitely gonna croak before he gets through another four years right? Can't wait for President Vance lmao. Wild how far that worm has climbed
The only chart you need to explain this election:
Neoliberals can shout about how good the economy is all they want. A lot of people had more money in their bank account than they ever had before in 2020, and it went away under Biden. It's impossible to beat that feeling of having less of your paycheck in the bank by shouting about threat to democracy. I would argue this is why Trump is doing so much better among minorities than a lot of white, college-educated radlibs would expect.
can't believe the cringe Elon hopping X celebration actually tipped the election to Trump.
the people love cringe, folks. embrace the cringe
If only libs passed 15 bucks minimum wage, huh. Too bad parliamentarian said no
