Anyone up watching the election?

Just that really...! Perhaps a bit more positive than admitting I feel ill about the possible results.

Harris has won New York. Is that separate to NYC?

It's looking decidedly like a Trump win at present. Harris's goose isn't cooked yet but I am not optimistic.

Unless he changes the rules so that he can run again, or e tends his term…..

Both of which he’s allegedly been muttering about. Perish the thought.

I didn't say I voted for Trump, I voted for the libertarian party. My conscience won't let me vote for either.

It also feels apparent as President he won't go to prison for his crimes. Part of me think he concocted a very clever plan to protect himself and sadly people fell for it!

109 to Harris 198 to Trump

Good update @username7891

I have to go to sleep. Let's hope it's good news tomorrow.

I’ve switched to radio and am about to sleep. What will the morning bring?!

I'm in Indiana and will be up all night. I did take a nap earlier. I need to stop doom scrolling though. I'm feeling very very scared right now.

Fingers crossed Kamala pulls a victory

Not good news if you were hoping for a Harris win. Trump just took Georgia

I think this is at the heart of why he stood again.

Yeah how clever. He got up one day and thought ‘I know what I’ll do, I’ll run for President’. Just another typical scheme. Because it’s so easy.

And intelligent analysis just left the chat.

Oh dear, this means at least one more excruciating world salad nonsense garbled speech from Kamala to come yet. The pain is not yet over.

Except he will become a dictator and won’t need to run again

Huh? Oh dear.

Apologies as this is off topic...how did that even happen on her watch? Why would we expect it to change if she wins?

It certainly did when you joined in.

It was a decision by the Supreme Court - which was loaded with Trump/Republican appointees. The President can’t just block/overturn a Supreme Court decision because he/she doesn’t like it. The process is complicated.

Thanks @SecretSoul

So it's unlikely to change going forward too then.

I assume that's why the gun laws will never change either.

US politics is so complicated.

You seriously think that the way Harris speaks is word salad nonsense? In comparison to Trump? That’s actually absurd.
Trump’s speeches are famous the world over for sounding like an angry toddler or drunk uncle. You might not like what Harris says but her speeches are coherent and articulate in comparison. That is objective fact. I am not a Harris supporter. I am an actual linguist (PhD).

Forget Trump for a second. If you think he’s bad, then you want the opponent to be better, not even worse.

Name one thing Kamala Harris has said or done that points to her being competent or coherent or specific or having any real policies. Just one thing.

I don’t want Harris to win. MN is a strange of enclave of the left that believe everything CNN and the BBC tell them. They’re not there living it with you. Decent hard working people want Trump to win. She’ll concede soon. Congratulations!

Wonder why that was?
