Presidential Election 2024

I may have to close my NYT tab. The numbers just keep getting worse and worse. They have Trump winning every swing state by at least .5% This can't be real, can it?

Jim Justice takes over Joe Manchin's seat.

Bernie Moreno is beating Sherrod Brown.

Not sure what's up with Jon Tester in Montana yet.

Looking like it is. The NYT is way ahead of news networks, it seems.

And Ann Selzer was way wrong. Iowa called for Trump.

I think we are going to have an answer tonight.

And fuck Sonia Sotomayor.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Tue Nov 05, 2024 10:37 pm

At this point, it's Pennsylvania or bust like everyone has been saying.

Mathematically, she going to have fewer electoral votes than Biden now that GA was called for Trump.

Didn’t retire while she could’ve been replaced.

Unless they can force a replacement through in the lame duck session.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Tue Nov 05, 2024 10:53 pm

She's only 70 though. RBG should have retired though.

Other "good news" Bobo is projected to be reelected back to the House in her new district.

Talking to my mom, I caught myself about to say, “I’m glad dad wasn’t alive to see this.”

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Tue Nov 05, 2024 11:05 pm

I have to go to bed. I'm just disappointed.

All of that enthusiasm and supposed momentum was completely bullshit.

Americans by and large are fucking atrocious.

I'm glad I'm no longer in the military, but I wouldn't be surprised if my veteran benefits get slashed and I need to sign some loyalty waiver to maintain my federal employment.

God, this sucks.

My mom died in April of 2016 and that's exactly what I said on the following election night.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Tue Nov 05, 2024 11:08 pm

I don’t even know what to say. Or how I’ll feel in the morning. Other than I hope my mom and MIL die before I say something that takes me out of their wills.

It’s fucking true. If I woke up tomorrow to the news that both were dead I wouldn’t give a mutherfucking shit.

CORRECTION: I’d be fucking ecstatic.

Maybe this is karma and I’ll die of a brain aneurysm tonight but at least I won’t have to act like I love them again and won’t have to deal with a second Trump administration.

Not officially but it would take a miracle that isn’t supported by any kind of logical data.

The most important thing to remember is that this was not the democratic party's fault in any way, shape, or form.

So RFK is going to be running both the FDA and the CDC?

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Wed Nov 06, 2024 12:12 am

I can't believe that like 40K people in North Carolina voted some wacky ass candidate. (at least when I looked in at numbers hours ago.)

Of course not. Losing the popular vote in a high turnout election, who to blame now?

Who gets the nomination in 2028? That will be a wide open race on both sides.

Not sure where it lands between baffling and infuriating that so many things/candidates counter to Trump's platform were voted into office/law in so many states that voted for him.

If I have to guess, they'll blame women, minorities, zoomers, and probably Bernie for good measure.

80 million may have voted for some wacky ass candidate, so why the surprise.

The party that totally cares about the left more than the right simply didn’t get the pivotal third Cheney on board.

This is just a dumb, racist, sexist, fucked up country. I’m
Tired of blame the people who are actually trying to make things better. Blame the fucking racists for once.

Like I know some people. Have met people from all walks of life. I know some shitty people. But know that there are so many racist, misogynistic, or simply moronic people out there completely baffles me.

The Rod from The Simpsons would have CRUSHED Trump in the electoral college. Democrats crush in the big population areas where you need to know more than repetitive action (rebuilding an engine takes knowledge, but once you've done one...) but you'd think a few of those people would be able to think cognitively.
