US Election thread

One troubling bit of media from the Trump campaign was the anti-trans messaging all over NFL games the last few weeks (“Harris works for they/them, Trump works for YOU”). It’s sickening and sadly might work in attracting more men to polls.

Ominous signs so far…

Looking bad for Harris. Devastating for us all.

Very early - a bit of red mirage at work.

Dems shit the bed.

Biden should have never even have run, there should have been a primary, and a better candidate.

Now the world has to reckon with that idiot version 2.0. It’s not gonna be pretty.

Not good. They’re talking like it’s over on TV.

Blue wall not looking good. He has a lot of momentum in PA. I just can’t see it coming down to those three states and it working out. Not giving up hope but it’s not looking good. Welcome to the USA @Apiento ! :sleepy:

Once I saw the Georgia trends, I feared a Trump landslide. And that’s what it looks like. Democrats are feckless.

Agree with @MGG , Harris was untested and ultimately a very weak candidate. Running on abortion was wise, but clearly women are not a monolith and male voters had other ideas. No tangible economic platform for everyday people to stand on. An international disaster.

I went to bed around 1am with a bad vibe. It’s going to be terrible, all the score-settling, protectionism, attacks on rights/democracy/climate, and Ukraine/Eastern Europe thrown to the dogs. It feels far worse than 2016 and now looks like he has a popular mandate too.

How utterly depressing. Let’s face it, they were never going to vote a non white woman in.

This is easily the worst and most shocking election result of my life. The guy is a crook, a crank, a racist, a rapist, sociopath. And it looks like a majority of Americans have decided that’s OK.

What’s crazy is that we thought ‘the worst’ was going to be some close, contested, violence in the streets sort of election. No, this is worse.

A rambling fucking buffoon with his finger on the button.

Hopefully he’ll be dead soon.

It’s not that surprising really when you think about it.

When people like Murdoch, Musk and even Joe Rogan are openly backing the cunt you really have no chance.

the most depressing thing for me is that he could die tomorrow but would make no difference when the wider disease is still there. you can’t win elections championing policies. you have to confront the base prejudices and dark gut instincts of millions of people, who will forgive ANYTHING provided he’s on your team. all summed up here:
