2024 US Presidential Election Watch Party

Still wide error bars, but looks like absolutely gargantuan gains for all Republicans among Hispanic voters.

Advantage to trump being president: snl, late night shows, political comedy in general has much more material to work with.

Disadvantage: everything else unless you’re in the top one percent.

I don't think he will even be that funny now, due to being so old and mentally diminished.
Actually Vance becoming potus by default later on is a possibility.

Why Hispanics like trump I’ll never understand.

With Sherrod Brown likely losing alongside other results tonight, Dems will immediately pivot to being pro crypto (and might have to).

 

[Ajidica]

Because of course we need more crypto scum.

Unless they decide that they weren't right wing enough and follow in the footsteps of the UK Labour party.

The NYT predicts that Trump will even win the popular vote:

Iʻm going to bed. This is too depressing. Hereʻs hoping for a miracle overnight.

Harris will win the state of NY, but Kornacki is going through Trump's gains in NYC (usually super liberal): 20% swing vs 2020.

I just can't fathom this.

 

[Kyriakos]

I am off to play some computer game, no use watching all of this - maybe it will be a lot clearer in a couple of hours.

I think that, as I said before, the next day will suck regardless of who gets elected. And it will definitely suck with Trump reelected - as is most probable now.

 

[Gori the Grey]

First swing state, NC, goes to Trump.

 

[Caesar of Bread]

I'm genuinely scared about this election (I can't afford Trump winning)

This country is absolutely irredeemable. Definitely the most evil polity in human history.

Oh stop falling for the panic-mongering of this particular project fear. It already failed, now it only anguishes you all. Trump will be about as bad as Biden for you in there. If you survived you will keep surviving. The likely relevant differences will be in foreign policy.

I think a certain Austrian artist with a Charlie Chaplin moustache would like to have a word with you.

What are your thoughts on Trump and climate change?
Long term climate change is the single biggest threat to survival of modern industrial society, and Trump is not just indifferent toward addressing it but is instead actively hostile.

Trump literally promised retribution on everyone who opposed him, called Democrats the Enemy within and suggested using the military against them. Fun Times Ahead.

Nobody is seriously caring about climate change. What I see is posturing and greenwashing and graft in the name of "doing green". Trump's likely difference is that he'll be more in-your-face about that, and possibly cut some of graft to greenwashers. To direct the money to others!

So did the democrats about Trump and his suppoorters. They did thow some into prision. So what if they get some payback? It's petty fights between rancid "elites". It's not the second coming of Hitler because the guy was alread president and he wasn't Hitler*.

* and because of that whomever though that painting Trumop as Hitler would work was an idiot. That's how the campaign of the democrats was managed: by idiots.

Elections have not gone my way before but this is the first time I am genuinely outraged.

You.......don't seem to know much about the Republican party do you......
