electoralism

brat summer is finally over

i'm feeling bad for any of the poor souls who are getting their hopes up over the election. i did that once, long ago and i have learned my lesson and am now old and bitter. and particularly given the participants in this election i'm genuinely just so checked out. not even my country. but the whole world goes insane each time.

truly... Biden was the only one who could beat Trump

Staggering class realignment/shift in working class

Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way

2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52 2024: Harris wins voters over $100K, 54-45

2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42 2024: Trump w/ voters $50K-$100K, 49-47

2020: Biden wins voters under $50K, 55-45 2024: Trump massive improvement w/ voters under $50K, 49-48

THIS is how KAMALA CAN STILL WIN:

spoiler

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 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

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

Definitely feeling like a 2016 repeat.

Reporters - "Here are some early results! Remember - early results don't mean anything."

Twitter trending: "#DoNotConcedeKamala"

Lol lmao, blue maga

what are the odds of kilometer-wide meteorite hitting north america within the next few hours?

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

Everyone remember to leave your sample ballot under your pillow tonight for when Uncle Sam visits, otherwise he will purge your voter registration

I don't think i've ever seen the libs so scratched

They are frothing at the fucking mouth right now

America's gender reveal is complete:

IT'S A BOY 🟧🟦

NYT needle dropped from 88% to 85% odds of Trump winning

I'M LIBBING UP!

edit: it's back to 87%

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.

Already hearing people pre-emptively blaming Stein for Michigan and Arizona

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.

liberals are now saying trump rigged the election

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.

91% Kamala Loses

: <- losers LOL (common zionist L)

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

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.

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

Kamala losing Michigan 52-45 with 56% reporting

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

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.

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

can't believe the cringe Elon hopping X celebration actually tipped the election to Trump.

the people love cringe, folks. embrace the cringe

NBC still not calling it

Looking like they went all in on Atlanta suburbs and got burned

If only libs passed 15 bucks minimum wage, huh. Too bad parliamentarian said no
