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

Cottom is not like the others. She's the real deal.

I was thinking of this:

xp - Yeah but nothing Cottom has to say can possibly be worth wading though the Brooks and Douthat first.

That's a good quote, but at the same time she's still gloomy enough that she thinks Trump's gonna take it. I believe Goldberg is the only one actually predicting a Harris win.

Cottom said Trump was winning. Goldberg was the only Harris enthusiast.

Tipsy, what’re you seeing in your zone?

TN turnout looks like it's going to be about on par with 2020. I won't be surprised if the state overall trends more red, we've had a lot of people move here in the last four years from CA, NJ, etc all calling themselves "Blue State refugees" and that kind of thing. But also everyone here knows we don't "matter" so it's hard to get people motivated to vote. (TN has the absolute worst turnout in the country, which is how our GOP government likes it.)

But we are all watching our neighbors in GA and NC with great interest, of course.

at one of the voting locations for Temple students and the line is around the block — vols say it’s been this way consistently since the polling location opened this morning!

many in line have told me this is their fist time voting🥲🫶 pic.twitter.com/6kB4JIdlAa

I guess all the focus on PA has really motivated voters. Philly on track to see a turnout of over a million. 2020 was around 750,000.

good good

Roy Cooper (Governor of NC) is saying suburban and female turnout is higher than he expected.

yeah reading Simon Rosenberg's blog the impression I got is that the DNC really has focused the vast majority of their efforts on the 7 swing states which seems to be having a pretty measurable effect on the early vote, as Ds are trending better than they are nationally in those 7 states

there are a lot of rando R twitter people falling over themselves to say "I live in Philly and my precinct wasn't all that full, the turnout isn't good", so you can tell even the voters are getting nervous now.

There is currently a 4-hour line to vote on App State’s campus in Boone, North Carolina. Polls close in just over 3 hours. pic.twitter.com/uWCyP6mKcm

First CNN and NBC exit polls will be released in less than 20 minutes

If you're in line, you can't get tossed out, right? xpost

yeah they'll be able to vote

fact that people have to wait in line for hours to vote is outrageous, along with all the other vote suppression stuff

exit polls don't mean shit let me just remind you

Judge just spanked the RNC lawyers trying to get absentee ballots returned over the weekend in GA thrown out. They're back in and he stopped just short of sanctioning them for wasting everyone's time.

Trump claiming voter fraud in Philly already. Guess these turnout numbers have him spooked.

maybe we didn't need to worry about Nevada

Turnout is literally just too high for the GOP to win Nevada. If 84,000 people voted already *in person* in Clark County alone, Nevada's going to have like 1.5-1.6 million total ballots cast this year

That is fucking crazy. Kamala barely needs to win nonpartisans

let the good vibes roll

According to @sixtysixwards's Turnout Tracker, the two Philadelphia wards with the lowest turnout today are the reddest wards from 2020: deep South Philly and Bridesburg/northern Port Richmond. pic.twitter.com/1oH4XJ30UD

law enforcement will get to the bottom of that

LAW ENFORCEMENT CUMMING

Hi we're the ballot police. Please stop cheat. thx

Can imagine some Trump loser calling 911 and waiting 2 hours for the cops.

Trump called the police on Philadelphia

snitch

i just showed my 15 yo son the kamala snl clip and about halfway through he said “turn this trash off”

<3 proud of you son

lol

yesterday I heard my 9 year old say "fuck" for the first time. it was referring to Donald Trump so I let it slide. apparently all the kids at school hate his guts, which is good because they must be getting that from their parents. this is the bilingual school though so maybe that's to be expected.

xps i don’t understand the logic of those swann marcus tweets. he’s been making a similar argument all week but idgi

donny asked not for whom the law comes but if we are strong and a little lucky…

ya i don’t trust that dude at all, or understand why he’s all over my for you

xp

Good news:

SNL is depressing, right-wing bullshit. Your son has good taste

Psst: the "little secret" Trump spoke of is his penis.

Pass it on.

plz don’t pass it on

Pass on it

nbc exit poll says that democracy was the top issue in the election for 12% of trump voters

idk about you guys but democracy.. i just can't stop thinking about it

They clearly cared about the integrity of the Democratic party's nomination process. Almost as much as they care about the integrity of women's sports. They're carers.

democracy? we don’t want any!

The Trump campaign has been revoking reporters' press credentials for their election night watch party. Seems like the kind of thing a confident campaign would do.

or people who just hate reporters on principal.

Put a Philly Soul playlist on random, first song is "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now."

Speaking of Philly, this seems fair.

I just voted in Philadelphia and I can't believe what I saw. at the polling place, they asked if you were voting for Harris or Trump and the ppl who said they were voting for Trump were taken out back and spanked and forced so say "I'm a stupid baby help me I'm a stupid gay baby"
