U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

no, two polling sites in GA had to shut down temporarily due to threats. "non credible" but still.

yeah, the goal is still achieved, delaying/obstructing the vote

cincinatti’s pretty nice

plus they got freaky spaghetti chili

I hear they have rizzlers

they've got skibidi rizz ohio

It is inexplicable that Ohio has supplanted Florida as the "weird" state in youth culture, since I can't think of any weird stuff that's Ohio-specific. My son says it's probably because RL Stine is from Ohio, but who the hell knows.

shedding everything down

Was your election worker a goose?

Cincinnati sucks a lot

Philly hit 70% turnout* before 11:30a, not what you want to see if you're Trump.

*of 2020 totals

At this rate, turnout will surpass 2020 numbers by 1PM.

Philly, don't be a heeeeeeeeeeeero

nice

If pre-election data is even *directionally* correct, I don't think people are ready for some of the insane swings right that we're likely to see in some safely blue/red parts of the country in this election.

They won't decide things this time, but will be something to watch.

cool, cool

this thing did kind of happen in the midterms, so not unreasonable to expect it happen again. plus in ny the democrats are truly the most feckless and corrupt state democratic party in perhaps the whole nation so wouldn’t be shocked to see people turn against them

Kornacki explaining how we might get a lot of info tonight, thanks to radical rewriting of state laws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNU1x4Sz4_M

xxpost not sure what that means? Safely red parts swinging right?

I think he's talking about blue places moving right (e.g. NYS) and red places moving left (e.g. Iowa)

he thinks trump will gain in safe red states and safe blue states like ny and cali

in a reply, he says "Florida, parts of California, maybe some of the safely red Deep South states too."

extra fun because states like ny, fl, and the Deep South will be among the first to report

flopson otm re: cincinnati I love that place unreservedly

yeah, I am keeping this in mind, from Ettingermentum:

I would tell people not to really pay much attention to Florida. It gets a lot of attention early on because the polls close very early there and it counts the votes very fast, but it’s a very unique state. In 2020, it was one of the few states that swung out right towards Trump. That seemed to be a sign that he was doing well nationally. It was more of a sign that he was doing well in states like Florida—[and there] are practically no other states in the country that are like Florida.

*not really i still have to drop it off

Whoa, the Epic party

[and there] are practically no other states in the country that are like Florida.

And how!

freakin epic

EPIC For Libertarians

EPIC (for "Every Politically Independent Citizen") is an Endorsement Party. We are running no candidates, but we point all to the most Conserva-tarian / liberty-minded / Jeffersonian / American candidate in a race.

Libertarians almost always win that award. So long as they are serious about changing minds and potentially GOVERNING, the Libertarians gain our endorsement.

damn they got montana and marino

Cincinatti is a racist shithole, Cleveland is as well but it’s at least interesting

seems like the epic "party" is just that one guy mark stewart greenstein and he goes around endorsing people apparently if theyre running or not and he runs for office himself

it was cool when the river caught fire that one time

cleveland's football team is just named a color, and not even a pleasing color. not even a color they use on their helmets! WTF is up with that

update: the two bomb threats in Georgia came from Russia.

good to see Trump and Russia still closely aligned

it should be the only type of football team name. there are enough colors to go around

Buffalo Blue
Boston Green
Chicago White

Cincinnati R-

Lol, team is not named after the color. Named after their coach/gm/owner(?) whose last name was Brown.

Paul Brown yea

I used to lie to friends who didn't know much about football that the name came because the coach threw his hat one day in the 50s and said "you play like SHIT!"

and what was he named after? fuckin checkmate bro

yeah, they should be more committed to the Brown. all-brown unis.

yeah i mean their helmets aren't even brown, who told them that orange is brown

its like carrot bits in poop only mostly carrots

Cleveland - like UPS they rarely deliver
Cleveland - like poop, they are poop

― your self-declared bacon of common sense (Roberto Spiralli), Monday, October 6, 2008 4:08 PM bookmarkflaglink

i wish they had chosen the name because of the color brown and the orange uniforms because of the color brown. it's all so awesomely oblique.

― horseshoe, Monday, October 6, 2008 4:08 PM bookmarkflaglink

i like how they dont have a logo - thats sort of tough - like their logo is covered in poop

― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Monday, October 6, 2008 4:09 PM bookmarkflaglink

Brown was the color of his energy.

The most interesting Ohio story to me will always be the disastrous Balloonfest '86.

After learning of “too many people are moving to Florida” discourse, I’m in on this theory

“Ron DeSantis accidentally created a Republican voter heat sink” theory is still in play https://t.co/mvwhQE70TZ
