Harris’s people are confident. The Trump campaign is panicking

God, I hope they know something we don’t. I feel like I’m gonna pass out. Or throw up.

God, that would almost make the next 36 hours or so worth it.

Almost.

Anyone have any general anesthetic I can borrow?

I’m going to bed here in Australia now, and will hopefully wake up to a harris win… Best of luck guys. The entire world is literally hoping for this (because another 4 years of racism, narcassism, BS and cult behavior is simply too much)…

You definitely won’t wake up to a Harris win, unless you sleep for 24 hours or more. Voting is just about to start. Won’t end 'til tonight.

Yeah unless it’s a landslide it probably won’t be called until the wee hours 11/6. We’re still a minimum of 18 hours before having a projected winner.

Dude, we have court cases, officials failing to certify results, and another insurrection to get through before we know who will be president.

I hope he strokes out and gets locked in syndrome for a few years.

I want him to experience hell on earth in case hell doesn’t exist.

I just want him gone, don’t care how it happens - death, prison, or retirement into obscurity, whatever. Just so long as he’s out of the game.

This is what I used to wish but he just won’t go away. It’s like being trapped in a room where someone sharted for eight years now and the smell never lessens.

36 hours?

Uhhhh. Its like 1488 hours until January 6th, 2025, and I’m not even sure if all the issues will be resolved by then this time around. Even if Kamala wins.


In a nightmare Year 2000-like scenario (aka: Hanging Chads deciding an election), it could be the middle of December before the Supreme Court handles a hypothetical case that comes up tomorrow night.

It’s really fucking bizarre that it actually is the Nazi-est number hours imaginable between the election and final certification of the election. I legit thought you were just doing some Nazi dog whistle virtue signaling until I did the math to find that 1488 hours is 62 days, and we are in fact 62 days from January 6. 🤯

Do you suppose that’s how they landed on Jan 6 for their little Mien Coupf?

I suppose it’s related to the certificate, but still pretty sus.

The only it will be resolved by then is if Kamala loses and concedes.

It’s going to drag on longer than that, if it’s not a clear Republican victory from the outset.

I’m locking myself in my shop after 8pm, and using destructive metal objects to tear apart desiccated tree flesh. Maybe I’ll wander out at 3am and see what’s up. There’s no internet out there, and that may be the only path of sanity Tuesday night.

I’m feeling so much stress over the election. I don’t even drink but I bought 2 beers today, maybe subconsciously I was looking for a way to decompress from the stress of the Election Day.

In case anyone is concerned, it’s not an alcoholism thing. I just generally do not enjoy drinking alcohol.

It’s plausible that it could be a clear win for either candidate. But yeah, a long, dragged out counting process is also quite probable.

I was talking about it in another thread with someone, but It’s really gonna suck if there has to be any recounts. No one (except maybe Trump) wants Bush v. Gore to happen again

I was just talking about this book and the adaptation. Both excellent examples of their respective media types. And maybe the most faithful book adaptation I’ve ever seen.
