The Politics Thread

Same. And also hoping the youth step forward to enfranchise and empower themselves to vote for a positive future for our planet Earth.

It's time for bed here (it's half past 10) but I know I won't get much sleep. I'm too nervous. The mere thought of waking up tomorrow and learning that Trump is back makes me feel nauseous.

  On the other hand, waking up and learning that Harris has won would make it seem like Christmas has come early this year.

I'm distracting myself from the anxiety of the waiting... I decorated the apartment today for Christmas... and I really pray that I will also wake up and find out the nightmare (uncertainty and waiting) is over and Kamala Harris is the new president of the United States. There's just no way it won't happen. The opposite is unthinkable.

I couldn't get much rest either. I hope you have a good night.

Big hugs to both of you... and let's all pray that... everything will come into place very soon.

Ever since exit polls in 2004 led some to believe Kerry had won, I've always been wary of them. I feel like they are used to depress turnout. Between that and the Charlie Kirk set warning of their side needing more turnout, the head fakes are in full force today to try to get anyone voting for Harris or Democrats to not bother.

Early results are much more likely to be Republican. Trump will use this to declare victory and a great deal of the media will back him up every step of the way. 

Another thing to remember is that the GOP have also claimed that Harris will end democracy, so a good portion of those 38% votes may be going their way.

Reading on Twitter, apparently a number of Georgia polling places in DeKalb and Fulton are staying open later because of bomb threats. Not sure how much that will affect the vote.

Preliminary results, via Google, are not surprising, nor promising.

Not sleeping tonight too.

It's going to be a long night.

Oh, I'll be sleeping and praying to wake up tomorrow morning to good news, all while expecting the dreaded negative. If this ässhöle wins... I swear.

I feel like puking. The stress is unbearable.
