    well, my plan was to just go to sleep once it became clear that Harris was gonna coast to victory, but now it looks like the Democrats might well be on their second once-a-century fuckup in a decade, so I can’t look away

    i’m gonna need coffee in the morning

    no matter what happens, truly the most thrown election cycle of all time. world-record sandbagging on both tickets. comedy of errors.

    God damn imagining being handed the fukken election and blowing it all in just over a hundred days. From the moment of Kamala’s blood and soil-ass DNC speech to now her campaign staff has seemingly been doing everything it possibly could to lose.

    This isn’t like with Hillary where she came into the race with decades of baggage. Kamala was almost a blank slate, and had every opportunity to define who she was and what politics she represented over the past three months. She fucking chose to tack right, validate everything the Republicans have been saying about a dozen issues, abandon large chunks of the Democratic voting bloc, kill Democrat messaging that was actually working (calling R’s “weird,” talking about abortion rights), bring ghouls like the Cheneys on stage and utterly refuse to say the one goddamn thing that ninety percent of the under-thirty voters wanted her to say.

    Needle at 69% Trump, I’m going to bed :catgirl-flop:

    GG Kamala, should have considered the context instead of just expecting to fall out of a coconut tree and win.

    … Well, it looks like I’ve failed to call another election by underestimating how fucking bad at politics the democrats are. They look to be doing bad in the congressional elections too. Goddamn. Technically it isn’t over and I think the math means she can still pull through (I’m loaded and cannot currently do basic math), but jeeze.

    So far, the states with a marked increase in third-party votes compared to 2020 only have that increase because the Greens were only write-in candidates last time. Virginia’s the biggest difference I’ve found, but so far I’m pretty disappointed that the total third-party numbers aren’t noticeably going up.

    Take New Jersey, for instance, which should have been safe enough that any Harris-skeptic would have felt free to vote for a leftist candidate. Last time, the Libertarians were in third place with 0.7%. Right now, the Greens are in third place with 0.7%.

    I have this horrible feeling that if Kamala loses, people are going to use it as an excuse to say that women aren’t electable
