US Election Day 2020

Here, and holy fuck. Some of those states he took handily, like 65% or more

I hate my fellow voters, well not y'all, but you know what I mean.

So disgusted, no matter how this plays out.

Go Arizona, thought!

Sydney Morning Herald reporting that voters in FL voted for Trump as "the lesser of two evils"

Are you fucking kidding me? You can't use that same lame thing twice, people. It's like saying the dog ate your homework repeatedly.

Fuck, looking at these percentages of the remaining states, he is going to win again.

Hey, cheer up, there's still hope. Remember the red mirage thing everybody was talking abiut? This could be the red mirage.

Red mirage would be a great name for a rock band, or a cold war spy thriller.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you hear to gloat? Your last post was a bit short of a month ago, yet here you are and you have never supported democrats.

ETA: I mean, don't you ever get tired of kicking a wounded animal? Four years isn't enough?

Okay. I'm going to regret this, but I have to ask: What the fuck is the "red mirage"?

Nah, if I was going to gloat I would not be coy about it. My gloating is way more obnoxious than that. If I were to gloat, you wouldn't ask if I'm gloating, you would amazed at my gloating skills, LOL

Besides, there is nothing to gloat about. It's still a toss up.

Have you heard if the red mirage? It might be important.

'Red mirage': the 'insidious' scenario if Trump declares an early victory

The situation could develop if the president appears to be leading on election night before all votes are counted – and for some officials, it’s too realistic for words

I might not be phrasing it perfectly but it is expected Republicans will do better at first and Democrats later on.

As I understand it, it refers to the count of in person votes, which will give the illusion or mirage of a red win, but once the mail in votes get counted it could shift. I don’t know if that’s the reality in some of these results but that’s how I’ve heard the expression used.

So...in essence, my worst case scenario, short of and out and out Trump win. It gives him plenty to work with to undermine democracy. Great. Not the overwhelming numbers we needed to avoid such a scenario.

Biden is supposed to be giving a speech of some sort at 12:30 ET, 8 minutes.

Yeah. Some key states are going to flip red and blue like police sirens by the end if the week.

Votre passeport, s'il vous plaît?

Taking up position at the US border. Just on the off chance there's a sudden rush there in the next day or two . . .

 

[Beebo Brink]

Just listened to a live broadcast from bronxelf to talk us off the ledge. As she emphasized, there have been no surprises except for an unexpected electoral win for Biden in Nebraska. This is still on track for a Biden win, but it will be at least another day or two for mail votes to be counted.

Trump was always going to cause trouble. There is no scenario in which he accepts loss.

 

[Jolene Benoir]

I will say one thing for this son of a bitch. He should have been playing at his casino rather than running one.

He gets all the breaks.

 

[Essence Lumin]

Biden says he'll win (of course) but not till tomorrow morning or maybe later. He is confident he will win PA.

Trump just took Texas.

Even though that was expected, I still feel sick.
