Oh for god’s sake

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Just remember everyone, Doug Collins is now unemployed. That's nice.

[Ljube]

Why call and then retract? Stupid.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Why call and then retract? Stupid.

Because DJT objected.

This is shaping up to be a LOT like 2018. Florida goes bad, everyone freaks the fu—k out, then we slowly learn over the course of the night that just about everywhere else is fine.

We might even still win Georgia LOL. And to think we had doomers dooming, Trumpers gloating, and everyone pointing fingers and arguing over the cause of this “loss” that was never very likely to actually occur.

Republicans are keeping the Senate. Real doomer hours if you actually want Democratic legislation to pass.

I guess that doesn't matter when all you care about is performativity.

better get to work in 2022, but if there is a republican senate, Biden will have to govern with Mitch which I see a hard time happening

The 2022 map is possibly even less friendly for Democrats than this was.

WHYYYYYY

NE-01 looks like Trump will win. (not a surprise but Biden was leading big earlier)
NE-02 looks pretty good for Biden.

Why is Rhode Island still so close?

I just don't understand anything anymore. The results doesn't make sense up and down ballot. Some of the changes make sense in isolation, but all of this together at once? I am completely lost. This is the most confusing election in this century.

Which I guess makes sense in hindsight with pandemic plus vote by mail plus higher turnout, we shoulda known better than to take the polls as gospel

[tjstarling]

Fk Bernie, Warren, and AOC forever.

Keep broadcasting that contempt. Watch the base become smaller and more elite.

But how are the aforementioned folks expanding this “base”?

Maybe they aren't*, but Sanders did better with the group swinging hardest against Biden. The more Democrats spend their political capital on performative pandering (both to their own party elites and their hackneyed ideas of swing voters) and the harder they simultaneously reject economic reform, the more obviously they signal that they're not interested in seeing to basic economic needs.

*In the long term, of course, sticking to their sorts of policy plans and actually delivering for the base instead of doing nothing and then expecting people to not eventually get fed up with Democrats is a better way to keep voters in the coalition.

And what evidence is there the voters care about this economic reform that you speak of? You’re sadly mistaken if you think issues or ideology matter at all here. This is a personality contest nothing more how else to explain the fact that the Hispanic candidate who I’m sure spent plenty of time reaching out to Latinos in New Mexico is running behind Joe Biden.

Much of the confusion probably stems from the different ways states are reporting mail/early vote vs same day vote. Some are reporting the early vote first, some last, some haven’t reported any of it at all yet. And in some states, certain counties do it differently too. Causes wonky looking initial results, especially given the huge partisan gap between mail vs. in-person voting.

I have a feeling that when the results are all in, we’ll have a clearer picture of what’s going on and it will make more sense.

As a resident of GA-09, this makes me very happy.

[NerdyBohemian]

Why is Rhode Island still so close?

I checked the SoS’s website for some local results. 0 Mail ballots have been counted.

I'm watching Fox right now and AZ is still blue...

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Over/under on Biden winning the popular vote by 5? Nat. polls seem like they were way off

I don't think we really know yet that the national polls were "way off" overall.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

Georgia needle starting to creep away from Trump! What a wonderful late-night surprise!

I mean the told us a big swath of Atlanta was going to be late.

Still I’m feeling allot better about the Pres race, despite f**king being Florida.

GOP Senate is a disaster though, big thanks to everyone in NC who supported the pandemic profiteer because of some naughty texts.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

I'm watching Fox right now and AZ is still blue...

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Seriously, is anyone counting ballots anywhere right now?

[The Free North]

Dread from it...run from it....Selzer's accuracy arrives all the same.

Trump +9%
Ernst +7%

Yeah, they deleted that tweet, so it’s probably not true.

[randomusername]

Devin Nunes losing right now.
