2 days in and I’m still having trouble pulling out the old “whatever” on this one
Mercury5979@reddit
My final thought: The forgotten generation continues to not have the say we want for this country. We live in a country run by our parents. The Boomer generation is still running for president and electing these people. Not that Kamala was technically Gen X, but regardless, we got closer for a couple of months. Now we have a 78 year old celebrity who was a big deal back in the 80s. I fear when it comes to these political offices like president, we are just going to miss it. I bet after Trump is gone some other 75 year old gets the office. I am just saying, I am tired of these old fuckers telling me what to do.
TheYintoyourYang@reddit
I follow the money. Book/odds makers are saying Trump has this.. We probably wont know for sure for another 2 weeks, soo it aint over yet. Cant wait for the bots to drop off then.
🍻
fuckR196@reddit
So let me get this straight; the people who directly benefit from Trump's proposed tax cuts told you that Trump is going to win, and then you voted for Trump not because you liked his policies or views on topics but because you heard he was going to win?
It sounds like you got played mate.
TheYintoyourYang@reddit
This aged well..😎
🍻
fuckR196@reddit
How so? Did I ever say he wasn't going to win? Your sheep mindset got you to vote for someone. You got played.

What do you think happens when wealthy gamblers place large bets for one candidate? Do you think it influences the betting odds?
Educational_Dust_932@reddit
Betting odds are partially based on bettors. They aren't exactly reliable. But they are scary.
Frequent_Clue_6989@reddit
Inflation was the biggest single issue for this election, IMO.
all-out-the-mow@reddit
As it should be... inflation and the flow of uneducated, undocumented criminals into the country... which requires hundreds of billions more in deficit spending... and thereby drives up inflation even more. The outcome of this election was a referendum on the last four years. Trump won because Biden is, by all statistical measurements, the worst president to serve since any of us were born. And, Kamala was right there with him the whole time helping him Suck miserably at his job. Add to that the fact that she was an illegitimate candidate, having not received a single vote in any primary, Americans would have came out to vote for ANYONE else just to make the suffering and embarrassment end. In the end, we elected someone who will do a far better job than Biden or Harris. The blue dogs and the government-controlled media will invent a million excuses for it and hurl a million insults at the 75+ million people who turned up to end the suffering. The reality is, the Democratic party has become too liberal for this country. Americans dont want to live in Post-WW2 Europe. Its really that simple. Until Democrats stop trying to force radical social change that very few people are in favor of and degrading our basic quality of life with their socialist economic policies, they will continue to lose.
viewering@reddit
what like trump voters their social security etc
lol
Gentillylace@reddit
I am stunned. I voted for Peter Sonski of the American Solidarity Party for president because I believe it's sinful for me to vote for a) candidates who support abortion rights and b) candidates who are convicted felons and threaten democracy. I knew Sonski had no chance to win, but I hoped Kamala would win. (I'm in California, so my vote hardly matters, anyway.) What the hell were Trump voters thinking? I'm 58F, never married, no kids, a practicing Catholic whose faith means a lot to me. I come from a staunchly Democratic and labor union member family, but I stopped voting D in 2012 (I voted a blank ballot for president that year) and switched over to ASP in 2016. But I am floored. Just stunned. Time for bed, I guess 😴
Alfonze@reddit
I find it weird you're bringing religion into politics when that's literally what America was founded against? Also I find it weird your so staunchly obsessed with Catholicism, you think god decided 2000 years ago that actually he needed to get involved? Where was he for the previous 80,000 years? Just twiddling his thumbs? Why didn't Catholicism exist then? If he was omnipotent surely it would have always existed? Doesn't make sense. I guess some random men 2000 years ago DEFINITELY got in touch with god and he TOTALLY told them the REAL religion, definitely not used to control useful idiots... /s
Gentillylace@reddit
Yes, God was waiting till the world could understand His message. If He had come before then, the world wouldn't have been sufficiently advanced technologically for His message to spread around the Roman Empire. Also, the US wasn't founded so that religion could keep out of politics. It was founded (in part) so that politics could keep out of religion. Voters shouldn't be expected to keep their religious and ethical beliefs out of the way they vote. However, the US doesn't have an official church -- thank Heaven! If it had an official church, it wouldn't be Catholicism.
FujiKitakyusho@reddit
Americans exercised their voice and demonstrated to the world who they are. They stood up, proudly declared that not only should unethical behaviour not be punished, but that it should be celebrated, and they unapologetically cast their vote for hatred, fear, corruption, incompetence, (incontinence), authoritarianism, criminality, and fascism.
Don't get too hung up on Trump. Trump is not the cause of what is to come. He is merely a symptom of what is, and that is an America which is more foreign than I have ever known.
rachsteef@reddit
Guys… I’m fucking scared. You guys are scaring the Canadians, please stop eh?
halloweddingplanner@reddit
I'm close to tears. The rest of my country would rather elect one of the most heinous male candidates in history rather than let a woman finally take the helm.
all-out-the-mow@reddit
The problem is... she hasn't been a legitimate presidential candidate since early 2020. The so called "democratic" party threw democracy out the window and nominated someone who hasn't received a single vote in this election cycle. How is that democratic in any way, shape or form? Is that really how we want to elect the first woman to serve as president? It would, 100%, de-legitimize the first female presidency before she even took office. I have nothing against a woman serving as president. For that matter, I can think of a few I'd rather have in the White House than Trump. But, let's allow that to come about in due time by way of a free and fair election... and not by way of a political coup. Not to mention, this particular candidate was certainly nowhere near the most dynamic and/or qualified woman we could find. Wouldn't you rather the first female presidency be something to look back on, as a nation, and be proud of? Why elect an unqualified puppet who was nominated by way of a sham-coup just so we can say "we finally elected a woman"?
Whole-Television-159@reddit
Feels like a pathetic answer here, sorry. “Letting a woman take the helm” is actually insulting to other woman who are much more qualified and devalues your argument as you’re just basing it on gender. You shouldn’t vote for Harris because she’s a woman. Find some qualifications you hang your vote on.
MrsSadieMorgan@reddit
Except that they never said any of that. Maybe work on that reading comprehension before you try to converse again.
fuckR196@reddit
I was gonna point out how you misinterpreted that comment, but you probably did it on purpose.
halloweddingplanner@reddit
Dead on
Fast-Item9362@reddit
she should not be president just because she's a woman. are you okay in the head?
hereiswhatisay@reddit
That wasn't what was said. She is more than qualified and she is the better candidate but because she is woman she is not going to win. Trump shouldn't be president because he is a male.
I have heard - not voting for a president with a womb. Just recently at work, why would you vote for a woman president if men have been doing fine already? Also woman are crazy. Remember there are no women's rights ever ratified in this country.
rachsteef@reddit
That’s not really what they said, don’t be obtuse
halloweddingplanner@reddit
THANK you!
halloweddingplanner@reddit
Hmm, I didn't actually say that though. Are you okay?
UberKaltPizza@reddit

I'm having ptsd from 2016.
Braggle@reddit
Can you tell me why? I genuinely need reminding why trump was bad during his previous run. Other than media going bonkers on divisive topics.
Suspicious-Box-@reddit
Economy didnt go to sht during trump. He left, policies changed. Economy tanking to this day.
EasyWriter1152@reddit
Not true, economy reported to be doing well. Trump is going to tank it. He's apparently $2b in personal debt, hasn't had a commercial brand demonstrate longevity and much of his debt is from lost lawsuits and real estate.
Braggle@reddit
The economy might look fine at a glance because markets went up during Biden but that's because money was pumped into the market artificially. That's a bad move for anyone and you can expect a crash from it.
Alfonze@reddit
1)His initial campaign for President in 2015–2016 was built on two major lies; a)The Obama birtha lie, b)that he was a great business man.
2)His Presidency was a failure; a), Mismanaged the Covid crisis b)did not repeal and replace Obama Care, c)didn't pass infrastructure d)blew up the deficit e) further divided the country f)Never built the wall, g) Mexico never paid for the wall h)promised manufacturing jobs that never returned.h)left office with the lowest approval rating in history i)left office with the economy in shambles. j) pulled the nation out of the Paris accord, k)Killed the Iran nuclear deal with no replacement to monitor their production of nuclear weapons. L)threatens our allies with the elimination of NATO.
3)Failed to adhere to the peaceful transfer of power.
4)Lies about the election incited an insurrection that caused 150 cops to be injured. 6 related deaths. Hundreds imprisoned and careers destroyed.
4b)Lies caused millions to doubt our election and justice system.
5)Found liable for sexual assault.
6)Found liable for business fraud.
7) Indicted for 91 felonies.
8)On trial for business fraud.
9)Supported by numerous white nationalist and white supremacy groups.
10)Current campaign for President is based completely on lies; a)that he won the 2020 election,b)that he managed the greatest economy,c)that all of his indictments are election interference from Joe Biden,d)that he has done more for blacks than perhaps Lincoln, e)that he he managed the lowest unemployment overall and unemployment numbers for blacks in history.

It's disgusting that you can't see that trump supporters will be fine if Harris is elected, and a lot of America will NOT be fine if trump is elected.
How you people don't realize what's wrong with that, is beyond me.
BrokenPinkyPromise@reddit
I’m going to go out on a limp for a minute. Just based on your username, I suspect that you might not be 100% objective or posting here in good faith.

JDsCouch@reddit
Yeah, and guess what we were right. Women are dying unnecessarily because of 2016. Wake tf up.
Dreya_7@reddit
Women are not dying unnecessarily because of 2016. Women are dying unnecessarily because of an open border...another woman was just murdered by an illegal alien last week. Not sure of how many that is now, not to mention the number of rapes. You can still get an abortion here in the US, those women can't do a damn thing. When I go to get groceries, pay rent or bills, I honestly don't give a shit if Sally or Suzy can get an abortion, I just want my family to be able to lfrickin survive out here after the mess Biden and Kamala caused.
JDsCouch@reddit
No one is falling for your lies, we can all see with our own eyes that everyone is doing just fine, by looking at literally ANY business on any street with the full parking lot. You're entire view point is built on a house of lies.
And believe me, we all know you care more about your false reality than the real life deaths YOU cause.
Dreya_7@reddit
Um what "lies' are you referring too? Women can still get an abortion in the US- true. Women and young girls have been killed by illegal ali<>ns- true. Jocelyn Nungary and Laken Riley are just a couple tragic examples and I won't list further cause it's frickin sad as hell. Groceries, bulls, and gas are still too high- true. Not one lie told lol. Good luck to you cause I'm too nervous today to throw facts at people.
Usalien1@reddit
The thing is TDS is real, and there's no amount of logic and facts that will cure the afflicted. They're all NPCs. The fact that Trump has already been President for four years, and no journalists were jailed (unlike under Obama), WWIII didn't start, or any war, never occurs to them.
Dreya_7@reddit
For real!! My favorite is when people say they'll be thrown in camps when Trump wins. Like where were you in 2016-2020? Were you living on Mars?? Were you dead??? Like WTF are they talking about? Didnt happen then, not gonna happen now. You're right, TDS is absolutely alive and kicking, almost 10 years later. Fu"&in pathetic.

no, cause they're not human, but you can lie to make yourself feel better about the deaths you caused all you want, ain't no one going to be able to make you smarter or a better actual human from an internet comment
Batmaniac7@reddit
So…you don’t trust the science saying they are human beings? How…progressive. I’m not the one lying to myself to feel better/more virtuous.
ElderStatesmanXer@reddit
Babies have been dying by the millions for the crime of being inconvenient. I’m wide awake.
JDsCouch@reddit
"babies" okay
JDsCouch@reddit
1,000,000 unnecessary covid deaths would say otherwise. Those killed on January 6th would say otherwise. The women dying because of the corrupt supreme court your cult leader appointed would like to say otherwise BUT THEY'RE DEAD!!!!
Usalien1@reddit
Only two people died on January 6th, both killed by DC cops.
Face it, Dobbs just corrected a horrible SC decision. It's back in the States where it belongs. That decision also disallows any federal law on the matter, either for or against. You don't like the way it is in your state, talk to your rep, that's how democracy is supposed to work.
Ah Covid, the ones you should really be angry at are the Chinese, Fauci, Birx, EcoHealth, CDC, Walz, Murphy, Cuomo et al. Trump received bad advice from bad faith actors, and hopefully they get their due when Trump returns.
JDsCouch@reddit
Good job reciting your russian talking points. Boring.
ElderStatesmanXer@reddit
Cry harder and peddle your bullshit to someone who’s buying it.
JDsCouch@reddit
yeah, good point. It's well over your head, you're trump voter. You've filtered yourself out from intelligent society.
SinxHatesYou@reddit
Except COVID. That killed a lot of us
elijuicyjones@reddit
What a despicable lie. We were not fine. You were fine.
Usalien1@reddit
They will not be fine. Four years of this clown show is enough. People are still in jail awaiting trial for the "crimes" of Jan 6. We've had enough of illegals coming over the border (I'm a legal alien, and we all despise line jumpers even more than native born Americans), enough of debacles like the Afghan pull out, Gaza pier, innocents being abused, Ukraine, and just outright gaslighting.
LittleCeasarsFan@reddit
Well that’s not true, those who work in fossil fuels, tobacco, firearms, health insurance, and many other businesses will most likely lose their livelihoods and could be on the streets. I know you think we deserve it and will laugh about it, but it’s much worse than Trump’s empty threats to deport people who are here illegally.
Batmaniac7@reddit

Interesting. Border Patrol also supported the bipartisan border bill that Trump had his cronies in Congress tank. What's that say?
ins0ma_@reddit
There have been allegations of racism in the Border Patrol for a long time. It's not surprising that they would support a racist candidate.
"Since its creation in 1924, the U.S. Border Patrol has been steeped in institutional racism and has committed violent acts with near impunity. The racial animus of U.S. immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century formed the foundation for the agency..."

Braggle@reddit
This always confused me. Why is it that citizens upset with government going directly to the government a bad thing. Would you rather they destroy the neighborhood instead?
MrsSadieMorgan@reddit
I’d rather they don’t destroy or “storm” anything. How about that? You can demand answers or express displeasure without causing harm on others.
Funny how the rhetoric is so different when each side is losing. Right now the media is discussing what we (Democrats) did wrong, and how we can learn from this moving forward. When Trump lost in 2020, it was all screaming about election fraud - followed by a violent attempt to overthrow our nation’s Capitol. As sad as I am right now, at least we can say we’re being civilized adults about it. For now.
LargeSizeFries@reddit
This was a result of Trump losing, not winning.
Also those people are idiots.
Optimal-Ad-7074@reddit
check back in four months. things do change as a result of elections.
rachsteef@reddit
No, the truth is that when donald trump gets elected every fucking other country has to hear about his dumbassery every day. It’s been nice to have a period of relative peace
LargeSizeFries@reddit
First of all, everything you said is exaggerated. Trump has said many times he supports abortion for rape victims and victims of health concerns.
Regardless, "a large majority of people in the USA are in full confidence that a verified epstein-peer sex pest will represent their values, and enact the laws and changes they agree with. The world is watching in fear, and eventual disappointment" your quote, is also inaccurate. Because of a MAJORITY of people here felt that way, Kamala wouldn't currently be getting demolished in this election..
rachsteef@reddit
Lol. The irony of “everything you’ve said is exaggerated”, besides - I thought trumpies love hyperbole
hereiswhatisay@reddit
It's sexism. Donald Trump is not going to be able to serve 4 years. Vance will 25th amendment him and then project 2025 will be here for real. Iphones will be 9k.

Ah yes, among the rare 61,000,000+ who voted for her. Maybe in your deep red armpit of the nation it’s MAGAt central… but here in civilization, it’s the exact opposite.
hereiswhatisay@reddit
I can’t take it. I need this to be over. I’m so worried and hate that it is so close. What is wrong with half the country. Wait misogyny.
Usalien1@reddit
If Trump wins, it won't be because of misogyny or racism or any other ism. People usually vote by their wallet, and they've seen this administration's inflation policies eat away their savings. It's not that hard.

How do you know it’s Biden’s policies, and not corporate greed, that’s responsible for consumer inflation?
Usalien1@reddit
Because only governments create inflation. They do this by flooding the economy with money. Corporations don’t create it because: A: price fixing is illegal: B: in a market economy, another corporation will crush you if you try.
fuckR196@reddit
lol
Corporations have long realized that they all make more money selling low quality products instead of trying to compete with each other with quality.
Inflation happens because necessities and commodities have consistently lowered in quantity and quality while increasing in price, all while corporations have employed as few people as possible for as little money they're allowed to pay.

Every accusation is a confession 🤭 Funnily enough if Trump wins I absolutely will go on with my life, because I know the damage he's going to do to his own followers. The geezers are gonna go broke and die destitute sadly because they couldn't see the forest through the trees.
ins0ma_@reddit
Do you expect us to believe that corporations don’t break the law when it’s in their interest?
Do you recall the price fixing scandals involving eggs a couple years ago? When corporations banded together to create artificial inflation to raise the price of eggs, which increased all of their profits?
Do you think that Biden’s admin is responsible for the inflation happening in the rest of the world, too? Or is it some kind of grand conspiracy between the world’s governments?
Do you know that inflation in the US, under Biden’s admin, is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, which is a remarkable accomplishment?
ismyfacedecent@reddit
Damn thanks for that education
hereiswhatisay@reddit
You do know that inflation is all over the world. It’s an impact from the pandemic. The economy was in the toilet when Biden entered the White House and now we have the strongest in the World. Like you say we can’t blame Trump for a pandemic and unemployment his last year, you can’t blame Biden for the pandemic just applaud what he did due to it. Inflation is at its lowest point now and has been dropping. It’s hard to just bring down prices after they have gone up but at least Harris has some plans. Trumps tarrifs will just cause prices to go up more.
Usalien1@reddit
Applaud what? A winter of death if we don't take the vaccine? Sod that.
MSPTurbo@reddit
Excactly. The 2021-23 inflation was a global phonomon, mainly caused by COVID and the resulting supply chain issues. The Biden administration actually did a better job than most other developed nations in controlling inflation.
Even if Trump gets elected, prices are not going to go down unless whatever he does causes some major deflation. Which usually means the economy is in some serious trouble. I wish those Trump supporters would do a little more research and see what really is going on.
Big-On-Mars@reddit
The current inflation rate is actually near pre-pandemic levels. But please elucidate on what Biden policies you consider inflationary?

We finally reach the beginning of the end, I'll consider it the end when it's finally called but I expect the legal battle to go on much longer. Harris still has a very slight lead in the polls in spite of some 150 partisan republican funded polls flooding into the average. It's still a tight race when you ignore those polls but with a larger lead for Harris. I don't know what the motivation behind this was other than to make Trump feel better but polls have never mattered anyway. Today we decide between 4 years of a better America or 4 more years of darkness under Trump. I think we'll choose the light, I just see way too much enthusiasm for Harrist and very little for Trump.

Well hey at least groceries will be cheaper right? RIGHT?
I spent the day at the doctor with my trans teen son who was projectile vomiting from a panic attack. He was so proud to vote for the first time. When we fight we win. He just wants the right to not be seen as a disgusting groomer. He just wants to not be seen as demon possessed or mentally ill. He just has a vagina and sees himself as a guy. That's all it means. Please, I don't care what side you're on, but please remember they are humans, not political talking points? I get the fear of immigrants, but trans people are not hurting anyone (not that immigrants are hurting anyone INCLUDING CATS). Is it really so terrible to learn how to use different pronouns? How can people be so cruel? They're treated like witches now. My son is so scared. He is so let down by the people in our country who chose hate and bigotry for what? Lower taxes? They are being duped by someone who knows damn well what a socialist is and they know they're lying about Biden and Harris being dangerous socialists. If people knew what those terms meant they should laugh at the ignorance of the liar who claimed it.
I'm just sick. I'm sorry I know politics is now like team sports but maybe people don't care when they don't have big targets on their backs. I'm sure it will be great for people who want the things being pushed right now, but the rest of us pay our taxes and we are citizens too. My son shouldn't have to live in fear because people have been taught to think trans people are icky and ooky and that means evil.
I'm sorry I hope this is civil enough. I've been drinking, which I haven't done in about 12 years, I mean I never was much of a drinker but tonight I'm having Kraken and sad little Delta 8 vapes that barely do anything to numb the pain I'm in. I am not grieving this like a lost game. I'm grieving for a country that is being duped by a harmful hateful movement and they're believing it because they think it will bring down their grocery bills or taxes. Or save babies.
Poor little precious babies like Nevaeh Crain right? Should have kept her legs closed, that's what someone told me yesterday. Like she deserved to die for having a miscarriage.
Okay I'll stop. I'll shut up. It's done. Quick someone from the other team tell me I have Trump Derangement Syndrome and remind me I'm just a skittle haired socialist and probably also a groomer of some sort.

He thinks Elon Musk should be in charge of the country's finances. He's also a 34-time convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist who has been recorded bragging about sexually assaulting women and girls.
The other candidate is talking about legalizing weed at the Federal level, and wants to protect a woman's right to have an abortion if she wants to.

Both sides are not the same. Republicans in general don't support Ukraine as much as Democrats do:
"...by a margin of 49% to 47%, Republicans favored ending the conflict quickly, even if Russia keeps the territory it has conquered. By contrast, 79% of Democrats wanted to support Ukraine’s effort to regain its lost territory, with just 19% opposed. A narrower majority of independents (55%-43%) also favored support for Ukraine’s fight to reclaim its territories."

The 1856 and 1860 elections were direct precursors to the Civil War.
1856 was wild. If you're not familiar, you should read up on it. The sitting president lost the primary, a former president ran as a third party candidate, one party was primarily identifed as pro-slavery, another anti-slavery, and the third anti-immigration.
And 1860 was even wilder.
Not too terribly different now, unfortunately.

I said this today (albeit with different verbiage) to a colleague and he laughed it off. The rhetoric that every Republican or person that votes for trump is some “MAGA crazy garbage person or idiot” is what pushes hundreds of thousands of undecided Americans to vote for Trump. His response was that everyone who voted for him was in fact exactly that, and that you were almost even worse for being undecided going into it. It’s insane how quick people are to write off half of the country, how quickly conversation falls to pieces because “I’m right you’re wrong” and honestly I don’t think the results so far are surprising. There is no “blue wave” or Democrat superiority, and the rhetoric of the media/current administration does not help to narrow that divide at all.

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."

After this Election it is up to our Generation to define the new America (I hope it was in this one but, oh well) We need to come together cut the extremes, look forward to what should be the best nation ever. Can we shape in to a better country? Yes we can!

One of the problems with civil election discussions is that when based on your analysis you say, I think blank is gonna win, people say "what? you like blank?"
I didn't say that. I just said I think blank is going to win.
Big-On-Mars@reddit
I'd wouldn't mind if blank won.
Kilted-Brewer@reddit
Wait, I could have voted for blank?!?!

It feels like waiting on results from a doctor after a biopsy

More like STD results

I think the scariest part of this presidential election is that someone is going to win.

I voted early in-person. My main hope is that turnout is high. Secondary is I hope it's a decisive victory for my side.

I have to babysit my nephews tonight and take them to school in the morning so I can't even get drunk and just pass out tonight. This is going to be excruciating.

Results are already beginning to trickle in, I see. Each candidate has three votes in New Hampshire. That makes it a dead heat at this time. With luck, other people will vote. Otherwise this election could turn out to be a bit of a disappointment.

Fyi - That one area of New Hampshire has voted at midnight for the past 65 years, it includes only individuals who live in the building where the voting takes place. (Total of 6 votes this year)
ColoradoDanno@reddit
Wow, so either they got together to go even steven on purpose, for the humor, or thats a statement on our polarized climate.
throwaway1009011@reddit
It's a statement to the current geopolitical climate. IIRC, In 2020, it went 5-1 I believe and 4-2 back in 2016, both times favored the Dems

Me last week: “Huh. I should probably cut back on the sweets. My jeans are fitting a little too tight.”

I'm voting for Alice Cooper because he wants to be elected.
BrokenPinkyPromise@reddit
Coop would be the greatest golfing president of all time.
SpaceMonkey3301967@reddit
That is true. I might add that Trump is a Billion Dollar Baby.

Welp, participating in this sub was fun while it lasted. Adios!

Oh my god the mood around work is so bad. It's like we're all being held hostage and they're deciding which half of us they're going to kill. This is not how this is supposed to be. MAGAts are a cancer.

A sub mostly filled with the reminiscence of a specific generation just doesn’t feel like the place for this. Polls don’t even close for another 18 hours (in California).
Grand_Taste_8737@reddit
You guys have at it. I'm tuning out of anything election related for the rest of those day.

Just as well lock this up right now .
