GET OUT: US politics November 2020

also good: Cori Bush crushing it

xp -- do you have a source on NC being as similar to the Midwest as Florida? having grown up there, that seems unlikely

They both have barbecue

"barbecue"

xp yes on Cori Bush. that will be a bright spot for tonight no matter what

NC has the Outer Banks, the Midwest also has banks.

Not loving the early numbers from AP on Wisconsin and Michigan but, as with everything tonight, no idea where those numbers are coming from yet.

NC has Petey Pablo
Midwest has Tech N9ne

Early numbers from Wisconsin are just gonna be in-person numbers, in no way representative.

What's the cheese vote

the cheese stands alone

I'm off to sleep and not bringing my phone so as not to be tempted. Good luck everyone.

lol eephus

re: Madison Cawthorn: "(it's the NC legislature, not national, but he's also like 25)"

no, for a seat in the US Congress!

those 300,000 votes ballots that USPS couldn't seem to process on time, for mysterious reasons, seem more and more important as the night wears on

xp -- shit, my mistake, even worse

chicanery

NYT calls Hickenlooper and Omar

I've been looking a bit at Johnson County, KS (wealthy KC suburbs) where Biden is +8 with 98 percent reported. Trump won it by +3 in 2016. If that Johnson Co. result is as complete as claimed, would be a good sign for Biden in other Midwestern suburbs.

America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies

My state has legal weed now, it seems. If I smoked, or enjoyed the company of potheads, I bet I'd be happy about that.

weed can be gotten illegally, a functioning country can't

unionize your workplace if you can, folks

Well revolutions are always illegal

tbf this country legalized revolutions in the bill of rights, the only complication is that you have to win

but where is your previous savage conviction that everyone hates Trump and he couldn't possibly win again

I’ve got it

jamie harrison goes down

shoulda sent more emails

I’m not feeling better, but the rate at which I am feeling worse is getting slower.

How many covid deaths will be traced to trump’s reinauguratuon festivities

CNN calling Minnesota a key battleground state, is it really? I was always under the impression it was solid blue.

i'm still grappling with the fact that yes, this is going to take weeks

Biden up by 13pt in AZ, but that's the early/mail stuff again (The Guardian says 60% in), and we keep getting burned by that. Wafer-thin lead in NC now, behind in OH.

if last year had gone differently I could have been living in Pennsylvania right now and that is making me really fucking angry at myself

Ohio and Texas got bleak real quick.

So we’re really pulling out of the WHO and the Paris Accord huh

but where is your previous savage conviction that everyone hates Trump and he couldn't possibly win again

Has Trump flipped a state yet?

can't believe texas got bleak

neither has

Good reminder. The ease of the Florida win aside, we really have no surprising results so far. Which gives me hope.

can't believe texas got bleak

es grande

just called: cornyn for re-election to the senate; brilliant move by beto to decide he could get elected president instead

(to be fair this call was not surprising, but the latter part stands)

I feel you on this, I'm in the same boat but with Georgia

Feels like every one of these death-knell-for-Trump states follows the same pattern: Biden jumps out to an early lead, sometimes large, slowly whittles away to nothing. I know that has to do with what ballots are counted first, but it's dispiriting.

Reminder that if Biden wins Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan (but not PA) then there’s a real possibility of a tie.

we really have no surprising results so far.

Indiana was polling as a "narrow-win" for Trump. It's an absolute bloodbath.

OK I confess I hadn't paid much attention to Indiana

Which is a Biden win assuming everyone follows the rules
