U.S. Presidential Election

[FloopFiller]

Coping and going with this being your typical red mirage where all the backwards and rural places are counting up early and the blue states will come later. Obviously lays the groundwork for Trump to claim early victory again, but hopefully the tide will turn.

Gonna pretend like my stomach isn’t in absolute knots and say that I think she might still win with the blue wall states. Absolute nail biter if it does come down to those, but stuff I’m seeing coming from them seems semi-positive. 

I know how you feel. I keep telling myself that there is a long long way to go yet and she is closing the gap slowly so keeping my fingers crossed.

It all rests on the remaining tranche of votes from Philly, doesn’t it? Coming within the next few minutes, apparently. It that tranche doesn’t flip the state for her, I’m confident Trump will win. f**k.

Harris currently has 77% of the vote from Philly. Down on last time but still well ahead at the moment with 69% counted.

trump considering making a speech in the next hour...

Boris just kicked off CH4 as he kept plugging his book 😄

Georgia for Trump

[MilkyJoe]

Feeling despondent now. Always thought if trump picked up georgia and NC he would go on to win. Was really hoping Georgia would remain blue.

[FloopFiller]

All hinging on PA for Harris now. If that goes red, it’s over, and it’s currently in favour of Trump (albeit with more blue leaning areas left to count).

[FloopFiller]

And…

Oh God.

So polls were wrong, but not in way we hoped. Looking like a Trump landslide here.

That's a disaster. If Republicans win both houses then we'll..who knows.

Got a hangover too

Sorry for ever doubting your blind pessimism. Everybody sucks and you were right.

Sexism wins. Young male turnout bolstered by bro social media types + black and brown men overwhelmingly voting for Trump has secured this for him.

[FloopFiller]

Is that it, is it over?

If true then I'm afraid it probably is. trump could well win every swing here.😢

 

Although Sky News is saying it's a little premature. 

 

Wisconsin probably gone too.

On his way to make a speech now. Kamala won't speak until tomorrow apparently. Pretty much over at this stage.

Really sorry you weren't right. Thoroughly depressing.

Out of reactions but 100% this.

[FloopFiller]

Can’t believe Trump is gonna announce he’s won this early and it’s actually true.

[FloopFiller]

Doesn’t seem to have been called by any proper media outlets yet. Watching CBS and they’ve made no mention.

[steviewevie]

Well, there will now be a lot of soul searching and recriminations on Democrat side, but maybe in the end whoever stood for Democrats were going to lose...polling constantly showed that the economy has been main issue for voters and they've been through a cost of living crisis.

And we all are horrified by Trump, but a lot of people really like him, they think he is on their side.
