Results chatter thread

[pixy0stix]

Seeing the first time voters on MSNBC gave me the joy I needed to continue.

[pixy0stix]

Also, I'm off the clock so did some self medicating with the devil's lettuce. Let's see where this night goes.

[pixy0stix]

I have MSNBC on my tv, and cnn streaming on my laptop. I may have gone too far.

[neverfstop]

A younger more female electorate…
Women +1% and men -2%

I don’t know if I’ll make it. I’m alone tonight, usually my brother would stop over but he isn’t this time. It’s so anxiety inducing to watch the results but I can’t look away.

[beerlover]

I may need to open a beer. I’m so on edge.

[underwaterrhymes]

I have taken an edible. We have ordered Italian. We have wine. I’m crushing on Rachel Maddow.

[Jalapeñomel]

I’m jealous of anyone that can partake without getting paranoid and more anxious!

I’m painfully sober. lol

I don't partake in weed, but I will definitely need a beer or two later. I am like shivering (cold and nerves). I have something in about an hour which will at least take me off of all of this for an hour.

I cracked a high noon for now. May need to switch to something heavier later 😂

I thought I was calm and optimistic until I saw the pop-ups that said the first exit polls were available. Then my anxiety skyrocketed.

I think I’ve decided to follow UnderTheDeskNews on IG for results tonight. They’re optimistic and turning it into a party, and I’m looking forward to that. Watching others will just stress me out more. Why not enjoy this evening? Because either the party starts early…or I have one last celebration before I have to spiral into anxiety.

[underwaterrhymes]

Why do they use a 15-year old picture of Trump? This is not a realistic portrayal!

[mrsslocombe]

So far the ballot measure for public funding for school vouchers in Kentucky is getting spanked. So there's definitely a lot of Trump voters voting against that shit.

[heat40]

how close did we expect Georgia? because the false bomb threats make me nervous about lost votes.

[SwimDeep]

Bomb threats in my state.

This is so much fun 🥴

Same, which is why I've procured a high-quality baguette and hot chocolate.

It's an anecdote of 1, but a college friend is quite conservative. She's also a public school teacher. I don't think I've ever seen her post anything political, but she'sbut quite vocal about no on 2.

[picksthemusic]

Pacific Time here, so still on the clock. Once I'm off I'll start dinner and have MSNBC on the telly.

I keep telling myself it's too early for anything to be real numbers wise, so watching anything right now is futile.

Georgia doesn’t look good. CNN is reporting from exit polls a huge swing of independents to Trump. Everyone on the panel seemed shocked so now I’m worried.

[lilypad1126]

I was doing good until about 5 minutes ago and now I’m feeling sick. But trying to remain hopeful as I watch Steve Kornacki, eat dinner, and drink some cocktails.

Their faces :-(

Omg why is there so much red everywhere. Maybe I should take a melatonin. Not sure I can watch this slowly.

[chickadee77]

Honest question: they're calling KY for Trump with 9% of the vote in. How does that make sense?

The red mirage! I’m not panicking yet.

They called it when 1% was in LOL.

[cous0226]

I’m switching to Kornacki.

[StrawberryBlondie]

Currently drinking a very mediocre Riesling and about to get very invested in some cross stitching or figure skating dress stoning. Haven't decided which yet.

[circa1978]

Maybe alone in this but I hear "independent" and assume Trump.

I think this question comes up every election lol.
I don’t know the exact answer but they always do that. Call certain states when only a small portion are in.
