GET OUT: US politics November 2020

horns honking up and down the street, groups of people screaming as they walk up the sidewalk
utter pandemonium in brooklyn

open this livestream to pure silence... it's very relaxing

Yeah just went outside with the dog
Ppl high fiving in the streets cars honking bicycles dinging their bells
Dog like what the fuck? Barking his head off

I hardly know how to respond. My gf started crying and I'm almost there myself. It's like yr mom finally kicked your abusive stepfather out on his bullshit ass. So much relief, so much fucking trauma lifted off of us. Shit ain't over til it's over and he's out of the WH forever, but I'll take this one thing and fucking embrace it.

Congratulations all!

I want to give Van Jones a hug. Congrats Prez Biden and VP Harris!

I was trying to figure out how to weave Return of the Jedi in lol

It is a beautiful fall day here, hovering somewhere in the mid'60s, and I am going for a walk.

I feel really happy for the people who are celebrating (I'm not there myself, mostly due to COVID cases and also knowing that the milkshake duck will kick in before tomorrow and celebrating will be bad(tm), but I mean that sincerely)

The loser just put out statement that mentioned Biden "rushing" to declare victory. Yeah, that's exactly how it felt the past few days--stop rushing, slow down.

The most pathetic lame duck ever lol

I'm weeping with Gap Band-inflected joy!

like daffy but missing part of his head

Pull the other wing off that duck imo

Xpost

Congrats USA, thank you for doing this.

Fuck YEAH and FUCK TRUMP don't let the door hit your gigantic ass on the way out

What a great feeling, a huge weight has been lifted. Thanks to everyone for sharing what’s happening on the streets. It’s pretty quiet here.

Well done, sorry yous had to live through this, may an adequate response to the COVID pandemic be swiftly forthcoming

YOU'RE FIRED

walkin thru Harlem right now and the vibes in the street are POSITIVE let me tell you

car horns and cheers everywhere

just heard Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye out a window

everyone you pass on the street is joyous and amped to share in the good news

People going nuts. I just passed a woman who raced out her front door waving a giant American flag screaming at the top of her lungs, thank you Jesus we have a real president! and the first female vice president!

*long exhale tailed by jittery relieved laughter*

I wish I could share a drink with all of you right now. It's been rocky here at times but it's helped make these last couple days a lot easier.

Love you all

meanwhile at the press conference:

"We've done a lot to destroy (Democratic) cities, and now we're going to destroy their right to vote."

Haha love it josh

(drops Zaytoven beat)

Barr...FIRED
Pompeo...FIRED
Esper...FIRED
Ratcliffe...FIRED
DeVos...FIRED

Love this

The videos of people cheering and honking are great but the press just drifting away from a press conference is beautiful

The videos of crowds cheering in NYC is making me a little teary.

I am surprised at how relieved and happy I feel right now! Congratulations!

Say what you like about the damaged racist, he was extremely funny sometimes

keep looking at this and laughing, my favorite tweet https://t.co/jFk6Y4JV8k

The ecstasy seems comparable to Obama winning in 2008, though diametrically opposite--for what's leaving rather than what's arriving. (Not meant as a knock on Biden.)

Idk we hated W too iirc

Right, but he was leaving no matter what.

Fuck Trump. Go get your shinebox.

Congrats to Kamala, too.

i am about to go outside like the guy who plays Slayer shirtless while carrying an American flag out in a hurricane.

except there is no hurricane

the hurricane has been fired

fuck you hurricane

FUCK YOU hurricane

really want someone to rewrite new lyrics to Prince's "Get Off" right now

I clicked teh press conference link and when it connected Giulliani was standing at a podium.
So is that what they were saying.

Not swelling the numbers of the daywalkers to help suck the blood out of the willing populace?

What the f happened, how much mail voting is sitting in bags undelivered still.
Would Texas change if it had a recount?

Couldn't somebody help make mock lam soup out of turtles?
How bad a swell of elephant dung will be the legacy of teh last 4 years.

Are counts still going ahead now that there is a human president.
