You seem to be detached from reality.

 

If the Russians wanted to keep the Trump vote down, they would target Trump leaning polling places.

 

Give it a rest. This is the election update thread. Keep your Russia commentary for other threads.

Good hold for Harris - GOP thought they had a small chance

What the heck is Harris doing leading in Missouri and Kansas? Those were supposed to be firmly in the tiny hands of someone else.

 

The Michigan vote so far is also a surprise, as polls showed it much closer than the early results suggest.

Senate seat flipped - GOP 93% certain to control the Senate

North Carolina looks lost to Harris - it was a must gain for Trump

One big question is whether turnout in Philadelphia will be big enough to create an insurmountable firewall for Harris.

 

It looks like the Philly vote will surpass 2020, but just barely. If Trump increases his turnout over 2020, he could win. Still too early to know.

You can keep focusing on Pennsylvania. After trump is president you and the people of that state can feel good knowing at least Pennsylvania was blue

Pennsylvania is the tipping point state, given that Michigan and Wisconsin are likely to go for Harris.

The early returns have some interesting numbers for Ohio, some traditionally Red counties have flipped to Blue.

 

But it's early yet. There is not much of a chance this trend will continue.

You should just slink away now. 

[theblether]

Ohio called for Trump. 

[theblether]

Confusion about Virginia - looks like Trump is ahead, premature call for Harris.

You must be color-blind, to not see the obvious

There is a part of me---the cynical and admittedly selfish part---that kind of wants the felon to win.

 

I have no doubt he will eff things up as only he can do. I have enough money for 10 lifetimes, and I’m diversified enough so that no matter what havoc the felon creates, I’ll be just fine. Those who will suffer the most under his glaring incompetence, however, are the very people who think he’s the Second Coming.

 

The world isn’t going to get any more welcoming to the kind of people---the poorly educated and those lacking marketable skills---who support him, and only a nation that has productive and “Giver” States like CA, NY, NJ and New England, can carry the forlorn and obviated. I suspect the felon will mess things up so badly, that both the West Coast and the Northeast will secede. CA, OR and WA in the west, and in the east, northern Virginia, MD, NY, DE, NJ and New England, plus maybe eastern PA, will choose to leave Magastan to its own devices. The States who are the biggest parasites, taking much more from the Federal Govt than their citizens return in taxes, will be left to simmer in their own juices.

 

Looking at the Election Map, I see the felon is already declared the winner in some States whose largest ‘employer’ is Social Security Disability Insurance (KY, WV, TN). Who is going to pay their monthly stipend when CA and other Giver States are gone?

 

I always laughed when the felon tossed out his racist term “Black Jobs”, something immigrants are supposedly taking. In reality, what immigrants often take---if they’re not starting companies and juicing the US GDP---is MAGA Jobs. If the felon wins, and if he implements his economic policy of tariffs and deportation of all undocumented workers (except those who work at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster), inflation is going to skyrocket, the deficit explode, the dollar collapse, rates soar, and most of MAGAstan will tumble into a level of poverty even Venezuelans would fear.

 

Schadenfreude is not a noble emotion, but sometimes it’s kind of impishly and deliciously satisfying.

My thinking was that Trump couldn't afford to lose a single state he won in 2020. He had to go into this election with the rock solid 232 electoral votes he had last time. 

 

North Carolina has him 4% up with 58% reporting. I haven't seen Iowa figures yet - the only other state that seemed to be in doubt due to Selzers poll the other day. 

 

Arizona, Georgia and Nevada are leaning GOP. If Virginia falls its all over - and Governor Youngkin says its too close to call.

This election is a real time indicator of the states one should never visit, the results tell you what percentage of that state is a product of american lamestream media

[sungod]

Just watching some of the interviews on sky news, I never knew so many Americans were that dim.

The bitcoin chart says it all. Trump has won and bitcoin is headed to $200,000

Anyone else noticed that a certain demographic of posters on this forum, which are usually are very active, have suddenly gone offline?

Let's pray they didn't self harm.

Iowa looks solid for Trump now. So the 232 from last time is

 

Georgia should be soon.
