Hugs everyone.

It could still change overnight. Pennsylvania swung Blue overnight last time because the absentee ballots leaned Blue. Am I recalling that correctly?

But I’m bracing for the worst when I wake up tomorrow. And I’ll be keeping Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark on my bedside table like a Bible.

It’s clear that, whether Harris wins or loses, our country is not on a good path. But we owe it to our kids, if we have them, and the younger generations in general, to not give up. We can and must keep fighting.

I am so nauseous.

[glitzy07]

I’m spiraling. What the actual fuck!?

[Poeticxpassion]

Georgia called for Trump

[estrellita]

I can't do this. I can't.

[Poeticxpassion]

Republicans take the Senate.


Wtf is happening?!

[babsbunny]

Can we jump on the "Trump won in 2020" therefore he can't win a 3rd term?

I need more alcohol.

I came home late from an event so it hit me hard and fast and I sobbed. I predict more crying to come.

I am so sorry. So fucking angry and sorry.

[underwaterrhymes]

This is misogyny and racism.

Don’t forget oligarchy….the rich bought most of these victories. Can you imagine an alternate universe in which corporations weren’t given unlimited free speech via dark money???

[1confused1]

I’m in tears. I just don’t understand.

[babsbunny]

I bet Hillary has called Harris. Maybe they'll take a walk in the woods together.

We don't deserve them.

[dulcemariamar]

Why do we hate women so much. For the second time we have put up one of the most qualified woman as our candidate and it is still not good enough.

[dulcemariamar]

Waking up now in Europe and I can’t believe it. I thought at least the race would be close but I didn’t expect this.

I am so fucking tired about the economy excuse. Do Americans think only they have had economic hardships in the last 4 years? The only ones with huge inflation? So ridiculous.

[basilosaurus]

Looks like I'm going to need to start back on the SNRIs. Goddmnit

[heygrey]

West coast going to bed. Definitely not the landslide I wanted, but I've been watching Michigan and Pennsylvania and I'm not counting them out yet. I will happily live through several more days if we get a repeat of 2020 with good news on Saturday.

[estrellita]

I keep seeing things on Threads about PA being called. I shut off the TV because TFG was supposed to speak soon and I can't deal with that right now.

I feel so damn hopeless and ashamed of what this country has become. There's no coming back.

[ellipses84]

It’s only 10:30pm here and I don’t have anything better to do than be stressed so here’s some election math. I think we’ll get PA.

Most counties are 95-99% reported or lean Harris (assume those balance each other out). The majority of the votes left are around Philadelphia. I’m using a couple different sources for the county vs. overall votes and %s so the math doesn’t quite match, but if 🍊 is ahead by 224k votes now, there 9% left to count primarily in Philly, using the ratios in Philly so far, she’d get 484k and he’d get 128k (+224k lead). That’s a win by 132k votes. That’s not including surrounding Montgomery and Delaware counties which are mostly counted but could be significant. GA was won by 11k last time 😬

ETA: Corrected county names.

[heygrey]

@ ellipses84, my math was coming out similar. If there are absentee ballots left to count in Pa, those skew Harris as well.

Michigan still has its largest counts left around Detroit. The margin is small enough that big blue counties can shift it.

I hope you're right!

I'm going to bed assuming we've lost so when I wake up I'll either feel the same or better. Would be nice to wake up to a surprise but I'm not holding my breath 😢

I’m nervous about AZ too, more than NV, but they also skew the same way, with the majority of the votes in a couple big cities and a lot of rural land. It just concerns me that Gallego is clearly winning in AZ and people are still voting for 🍊.

Just got off the phone with my mom. It’s almost 2am where she lives. I was sobbing half the time.

[ellipses84]

I accidentally opened fb and saw an 🍊 announcement post that wasn’t true so I reported it as fake news. It’s not someone I’m friends with, but they tagged someone I’m related to by marriage.

[starburst604]

I’m going to need to hide for a bit and stay off social media. I just cannot handle this. I don’t know how not to fall apart in front of DD in the morning.

[meganew]

I’m so confused as to how they’re calling PA with Philly only having 83% of our votes in

[penguingineer]

@@@@
I have a 9 year old daughter who is a super feminist. I don’t know how to tell her. I’m just screaming into the void right now.

HE TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT! HE’S A CONVICTED FELON!

Add this to the making fun of a disabled reporter and “grab them by the p****” as reasons I don’t understand how it didn’t end there.

[madDawg228]

I feel horrible for myself.
I feel horrible for the next generations.
I feel horrible for Gaza.
I feel horrible for Ukraine.

I don’t understand either. So then it can change and they can claim election fraud? It’s not like the mainstream media has been on Harris’ side…

[al dente]

I absolutely can't believe he's currently at 267. Wtf. I won't lie I thought this wouldn't even be close, this is unbelievable.

[gummy]

I truly did not believe this was possible.

Looking at the numbers I'm surprised at the voter turnout in Philadelphia. Allegheny county (Pittsburgh) had more total voters than Philadelphia (at least that is what is being reported currently)
