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

72% chance of Trump winning, per NYT. Mother of fucking god I want to blow my brains out

folx i just hopped on. following from Chile, where i'm originally from. will return to the US in two weeks. (i voted early).

every time i visit Chile, I feel the ground underneath me tremble, regardless of the state of the tectonic plates, because not far beneath are the years of terror. my new home, the US, in recent years, has begun to register on the Richter scale. Tonight, everything just feels so precarious.

keep breathing, i think. don't stop. you haven't been stopped yet.

love to ilxors.

At least we can all relax and realize that regardless of the outcome, we can all go bankrupt from medical costs and our kids can die at school from gunfire, and nothing is changing in those regards

beamish, would you shut the fuck up, please?

Hey look! Good news! https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/05/delaware-senator-sarah-mcbride-first-transgender-member-us-congress/75962889007/

Yeah, but Trump will put her in a concentration camp along with other transgender/nonbinary people

beamish, log off

can kamala get the ‘zona

Who will Democrats find to be the Good Republican in 2028. My money is on Paul Ryan.

Won Iowa.

By all means, tell me how to stay positive

🤐

i am living for RM brown fucking up the majority report live show stream with drops lol

By all means, tell me how to stay positive

OK, how's this. If he's going to win, it's better he actually wins than that he steals it, or gets the Supreme Court to steal it. That would be a rupture even harder to come back from than this.

Jen Psaki needs to wipe that fucking smile off her face

JFC, why are you on MSNBC?

My partner loves it. I keep telling her to go back to Below Deck Sailing Yacht!

seems like things are very bad

kevin there’s a thread for those sentiments

By all means, tell me how to stay positive

1) Don't call bomb threats from Russia a sure sign of the US "circling the drain"

2) don't say that no matter who wins, we'll still shoot kids in schools and never solve healthcare

3) don't react to a historically progressive congressional election story by saying the new Congresswoman will be put in a concentration camp

It's not that hard. The swing states haven't been called and we're still in the depths of the red mirage. Shitting all over this thread isn't helping anyone.

thank you

#2 is accurate tho

lmao CNN is shading the areas of pennsylvania darker hues of tan the more hispanic they are

Crazy to see a three-hour wait in the swing states. Just get Irving Azoff to run online balloting.

Trump and his cronies have literally talked about locking up trans folks. Don’t fucking gaslight us

Please log off

Maybe so, but now isn't the time to bitch about these things. We have enough to deal with.

you really think Trump will get away with putting a newly elected representative in a concentration camp?

And I'm the one gaslighting?

Can we be happy for Congresswoman McBride getting something in life without beamish immediately coming along and shitting all over it?

I thought you're in the process of moving out of the US anyway. Not everyone has that option.

I’m not in the States, but I still cast my vote

I’m presently waiting outside of LAX for a pick up, watching planes come in, might try to hitch a ride if things get to a point of no return

Are you at the arrivals? I’m so sorry about the godawful construction/shuttle

A small piece of good news: the abortion rights amendment appears to have passed in Montana.

Hawley and Moreno in the Senate. Disgusting

I’m parked by the In-N-Out Burger, I’ve got my system for this kind of thing.

Just get Irving Azoff to run online balloting.

...and that's how you get President Henley.

Whooee it ain't lookin' good folks. Maybe some more good news shows up later in the night, even if not in the presidential race. Or maybe we get a GOP sweep and see what Trump plus unified Congress can do.

Gonna be work to do regardless.

not good!

We're kind of a stupid country.

“Kind of”?

Garbage in, garbage out

One thing I try to tell myself is how things were looking after that first debate, I mean there was absolutely a 0% chance Trump was going to lose at that point and no matter what happens Kamala did just about as well as we might’ve imagined at that time.

And listen for many of us here, we are not the ones who would be in any crosshairs and it’s important to hold your strength for those who might be.

Dumbest fucking country on earth.

There have been no surprises but I'm depressed as hell.

uh enjoy secretary of hhs rfk jr

Polio Comeback Tour ‘25

Weirdly it's the thought of more Elon Musk that's upsetting me even more than Trump being back

Some people are definitely much more endangered than others, and need to be especially protected. But it's also naive to think anyone won't be affected. We've already seen, this is bad for all of us.

sherrod brown lost. senate’s red

At least be comforted by the fact no one lasted in any cabinet position under trump for more than a few months

I guess.
