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

So, dumb question, but why am I still getting desperate political fundraising emails now?

theyre not going to turn down free money

probably set to autosend way before today imo, but now I have Barack's phone number.

my texts that I have to reply STOP to have abated, thankfully

not bad not bad

Douglas, GA (71% in)

2024: Harris +32
2020: Biden +25
2016: Clinton +11

AP is not messing around and has already called IN & KY for Trump & VT for Harris.

Trump promised to bring back our coal industry! Dumb fucks

I wonder how NY and CA will go

in all seriousness this is why enthusiasm is such a big deal

Seen on CNN, a voter in NC saying his girlfriend threatened to break up with him if he didn't vote for Harris pic.twitter.com/nw7okXLgQZ

that is not an accurate description of the video

Our nation turns its lonely eyes to Dixville

In other news: as expected, I think we lost Miami-Dade.

hoping the Florida heat sink theory is real - iirc DeSantis won by like 20 in 2022 and a lot of people freaked out that the red wave was happening but that didn't quite materialize

lol they're already projecting Josh Stein beating Mark Robinson, that was fast

hopefully he drags Trump's numbers down

xxp I don't know what communities Miami-Dade includes, but it is one of the most populous counties in the US and that is kind of shocking tbh

might be the biggest urban area to go red

what is the Florida heat sink theory? I googled and all I got was a deleted twitter post from a Panasonic synthesizer

Cuban Republicans are fucking awful

Its this

Desantis told me hurricanes keep killing his republicans so I asked how many republicans he has and he said he just goes to the midwest and gets new republicans so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding republicans to hurricanes and then his political party started crying https://t.co/ieVfUhvPth

I think it's just that Republicans from other states (esp GA) have been moving to FL, making Florida redder and other states bluer.

Xp - or that

God I'm already a wreck

yeah that's the idea

also looks like the marijuana initiative is gonna fail, needs 60% and is gonna fall short.

many xxxps

that if Florida goes more red through relocations of people who are like-minded (a couple of my friends included), it will offset the political make-up of other states somehow? not sure

Yeah you don't get extra electors by winning by a lot vs. by a hell of a lot. Everybody voting red in FL is someone who isn't voting elsewhere and fucking up those states

California incredibly rejected recreational marijuana the first go-round. I just don’t understand people, but I hope they’re mostly elderly and headed for urns soon

Florida - it's like a giant magnet for crazy

A giant dick-shaped magnet

Well you eventually get more electors. Florida will gain after the next Census. NY/Cali will probably lose a little. If elections stay this close, that'll matter some. But whatever, we can worry about the 2032 election then.

looks like both referendums fail there, though I think this is maybe a good sign nationally because both legal weed and abortion are popular nationwide so maybe it does indicate a lot of Republicans have moved to Florida

Josh Stein wins in NC

Lol. Ignore if u wish

bomb threat in my PA home town's polling place.

Voting becoming a dangerous, subversive activity is a sure sign of a nation circling the drain

lotta libs were freaking out over Loudon county showing an 8 point rightward shift, turns out it missed 120k early votes, lol

VA looking pretty good so far

xp ok beamish

The Florida abortion referendum failing by 57-43 tells everything I need to know about Florida

the governor race in NC seems significant. as has been noted on the TV, how many split ticket votes will really be cast?

xp florida needed 60% threshold, the measure is leading 57-43

oh, sorry I mistook yes vs no

Florida: Mississippi with beaches.

what’s up with loudon county?

early results so far

Florida total loss, may be more Republican than we realized
Indiana suburb numbers look decent for Harris
Georgia hard to tell, rural numbers look good for Trump, suburb numbers good for Harris, nothing from Atlanta yet, some are suspecting a bit of a red mirage effect there
Virginia looks good, Harris running ahead of Biden which is a good sign
North Carolina no idea but Robinson went down hard
Pennsylvania has a lot of good signs, early Allegheny totals have Harris running ahead of where she needs to be

Q about Florida. So conservatives seem to be relocating there in significant numbers, but anyone know if liberals are moving away?

what’s up with loudon county?

initial reports missed 120k early votes, numbers in VA looking fine and dandy

someone should tell nbc that!

thx for the update frogbs

i thought i had heard that georgia would have finished counting by now

The Needle keeps edging to the right...

xp Some of the Fulton and Dekalb polling locations were held open late b/c of bomb threats

yea we don't have anything from Atlanta yet so hold your horses on GA
