Made one earlier—turns out, we're in 100% agreement.
My PA  selection is more wishful thinking than anything else, though, since I think we're fucked if Kamala loses it.

earlier today i convinced an AZ resident to vote blue instead of green, so if AZ goes blue with a 1 vote difference you know who to thank

I am voting tomorrow, along with Sam. IDK if I'm registered, but hopefully just showing up with an ID will be enough. If not, I at least tried, so I'm still able to complain if Florida goes red.

People who support Trump here - why?
All news I see of him shows him doing something objectively bad. Am I missing some positives about him?

genuinely, no.

anyone who supports trump at this point in time is simply an anti-american cultist in support of an increasingly demented 34-time convicted felon, seditious traitor, rapist, and hateful bigot

his followers will tell you things like
- "he's going to fix the economy" (even though tariffs are his only economic policy)
- "he's anti-woke / he's not politically correct"
- "he's going to solve the immigrant crisis"
but these are just distractions built on falsehoods. the fact of the matter is that anyone who supports this man is in a cult. it's either that, or they're an ontologically evil person. the former could be (charitably) described as victims of their lack of education and susceptibility to propaganda. the latter should be considered enemies of the state.

it cannot be overstated that Trump has literally zero redeeming qualities to discuss—and even if he did have any, there is simply no overcoming the mountain of things that damn him.
i do not recommend attempting to reason with any of his supporters; most of them are too far gone. all we can do is hope he loses and fucks off forever.

i can begrudgingly forgive anyone who voted for trump in 2016 on the basis that you probably hadn't the faintest idea just how bad he would end up being. i mean, you're still a fucking idiot, but i voted for jill stein in 2016, so, we all make mistakes.
but if you voted for trump in 2020, i have next to no compassion for you as a human being.
and if you're voting for him now, you are actively taking part in the destruction of my country and i sincerely hope that great harm comes your way as a deserved consequence of your choices.

Haha.

Thanks for the summary, Verb.
For EU's and Ukraine's sake, I hope Trump loses. I suspect he will try pulling another 'storm the white house' bs again and it may be messier this time.

Also, why does the world always wait until 1942 when we could have fixed everything in 1939? Are we retarded?

We're pretty dumb as a species, yeah. We'd rather do a capitalism at the cost of a habitable planet rather than ... not do that.

First exit polls out, democracy is the biggest issue nationwide, higher even than the economy. Women voters also up like 5 percentage points since 2020.

Who here is coconut pilled yet.

Cba doing a full graph, but as a fellow limey let me chuck in my two cents:

Unfortunately I think AZ is lost. The data for the last few weeks seems to indicate a flip back to Trump. Nevada could hold blue but I'm about 55/45 on it.

Rust belt states I think she has in the bag. Pennsylvania could also be super tight but I think she'll grab it by a cunt hair.

I think she might also nab Georgia. Exit polls indicating abortion as a major issue for voters.

Ultimately I think there's gonna be a big sleeper Kamala vote on the horizon. I don't think it's as close as the polls are suggesting imo.

well, we lost, although it's not official at the time of me typing this
PA going red puts Trump at 267, and AK (worth 3) will be a layup for him, so it's over
we also lost the senate—and will likely lose the house, too

i don't know what to say. i don't have the energy anymore to spit bile at those who allowed this to happen, and i can't think of anything to say to those who did their part to prevent this from happening.

just stay safe, i guess. tough times ahead. there is no silver lining to this outcome—no light at the end of the tunnel.

now, if someone asks me, "but will this actually affect your personal life, though?" i'll be able to say "yes" for the first time

with Trump in office, Biden's student loan repayment program is cooked—the amount that i owe is such that i will never see the end of it. i'll be paying it off for the rest of my life, leaving me with significantly less time (and money to pay for) my hobbies, personal projects, or pretty much anything that could actually give me joy in life. all gone now

my fault for going to college after being relentlessly pressured into doing so by literally every single adult in my life when i was too young and dumb to understand the associated risks and repercussions

The craziest thing to me in this election is the Republicans winning the popular vote for the first time since 2004

One of the elections of all time

Sorry to hear that Verb and thanks for sharing your pain.

My brother was hoping this would go through since he started off with 12k in student loans. After 7 years, he brought it down to about 10k.
I already know 5-6 people instantly leaving the state of Florida. It's a rough one.

The increasing rate of cultural illiteracy has been a thing for the longest time. Making the educational system suffer just makes the indoctrination easier.

Alright, the dust has largely settled, post mortem time on why it went wrong for Kamala:

>The vast majority of exit polls are indicating this was about the economy. Whether you can attribute that to the Biden administration or the post pandemic recovery period is utterly irrelevant to the average voter. It happened under Biden's watch. Voters associated Kamala as the continuity candidate for the current state of economic affairs. She was doomed from the start. The Trump team nailed it on the head by hammering home the simple question of; are you better off now or when I was in charge?

>She relied to heavily on vibes and not enough on policy. In retrospect I really think we should have been sounding the alarm bells as her short lived campaign went on. Seriously, I never once heard of a policy position or a concrete step by step plan on how she was going to fix the economy or deal with Gaza if she was to take over. She really just thought coconut memes and brat girl summer tik tok edits were gonna win her the white house.

>She lost the POC voting bloc, particularly with males. Latino and black men abandoned her in the droves. I think this is largely down to her west coast elite upbringing just not resonating with POC men. It also doesn't help that she was the Attorney General of California, and if I'm not mistaken, locked a lot of POC men up during her tenure. Not a great image for securing POC votes.

Just genuinely a horrendous pick from the Democrats in hindsight. I'm starting to think she might actually be worse than Hillary.
