@kupo
Screw that callous asshole. Hugs if you want them.
OMG I so need one of those! So totally awesomely amazingly adorably cute!
Wow.
Wow.
Did they not get all the ads to register to vote for the past year or did they just tune those out because propaganda as the ads don’t have all white people or something? Like, the only ad I’ve gotten pretty much on Spotify for the past three months is the California Endowment one. “Vota for the undocumented immigrants, vota for trans queer youth, vota for Muslims”–ect., etc.
Either way, to people who forgot to register to vote and was an ass to anyone (I’m not faulting people who didn’t or can’t register and aren’t fuckheads), whether supporting for Trump, Clinton, Bernie, Stein, Johnson, etc.
Git gud. With democracy. Git. Gud.

There’s more at r/the_meltdown. I expect more hilarity if Florida is called early.
More hilarity. A Donald Trump cake was ejected from Donald Trump’s party:

Twitter is having the proverbial field day.
from r/the_meltdown;
nah, they have been sandbagging their fraud skills for 8 years JUST IN CASE The Cheeto got the Repub nomination….
I voted and like so many others got a little misty eyed at voting for a woman to be president. I also got to take an exit poll for the first time ever and so not only did I get to vote for Hillary Clinton, I got to express my strong disapproval of Donald Trump and express my view that the criminal justice system is racially biased.
I’m a mix of this
this

and this
Polls are closing, people! This is not a drill!!!
@ax
1stly thanks, I’ll try to do it less in the future
2ndly Don’t worry it’s not that bad, just kind of a sign that I miss the obvious sometimes.
@Handsome “Punkle Stan” Jack
Yeah I probably should’ve thought of getting one of those before registering
@Scildfreja Unnýðnes
Now to share my obvious realization *ahem* Trump and his supporters don’t wake up thinking how can I help others they wake up thinking how can I help myself (or in some cases hurt others who are the people who baffle me)
@Yossherian
Hi fellow lurker who has commented two times before this thread and is officially delurking in this thread.
Edit: also woo didn’t fall prey to the block quote mammoth
Hmm. Kellyanne Conway is already blaming the lack of Republican party support before any results are in. A sign their internal polling is not looking good or are they just hedging?
Whelp it’s time for me to start panicking like a brood of chickens.
Currently at work so I won’t get to see the results until I clock out.
I early voted, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Hillary won NC.
@Kupo – I’m sorry to hear about the jerks at your work. I’ve been a few places where I felt I had to hold my tongue to keep the peace. My heart goes out to you.
@Foxkit – thank you so much for that link about the trolls, I read it to my parents and we all had a much needed good laugh 😀
I VOTED!!!!!11
In addition to voting for Hillary, I also got to vote for Tammy Duckworth, who is going to absolutely trounce her retrograde opponent.
FIRST POLLS CLOSING RIGHT NOW!
D’you know, I never got a welcome basket – I just sort of delurked and started posting. (Not bothered about it or anything – I know Katie-senpai is all-noticing, and I have not escaped her attention!)
Trump fans not understanding how elections work is very much my new favourite thing. Bless them, and bless their incredibly limited understanding of political systems.
@Jesalin
I feel like the people making the economic anxiety argument (who aren’t Trump supporters) are making a fallacy of the middle type logical fallacy were if you call a jerk a jerk than you’re the jerk, so you can’t call them racist because that’s mean and you need to come up with a nice way to explain why they act the way they do even if that means that you’re explanation is wrong and you throw another group of marginalized group of people under the bus. I also feel like some people can’t accept that some people just aren’t very nice
@Overly, that’s a tough realization. Good for you! Humans are a puzzle.
I’m feeling happy about this election at the moment. Go America!
Georgia still too close to call.

I’m not sure if it’s the cold or nerves making me sweaty at this point. Probably nervous. Do you sweat with colds?
It’s not great to be sick at this time.
So far Dems have 38 to 32 in the Senate, so that’s good, but Trump is in the lead vote wise. Red states are usually the ones that get counted first, tho, right?
Dems also have the lead in the House.
Still scared.
Here’s the results in real time if you wanna shit yourselves.
3 votes down, 267 to go!
Trump leads, but in States that were solid red anyway. The only things which really matter right now are the swing states, or if a solid state suddenly switches.
Cheesynougats (sorry if I got your nym wrong, I’m on my phone) glad to hear your kitty problem was a false alarm.
I’m currently at the vet with my Catbeast cause he quit consuming and eliminating today. He’s a senior kitty with senior kitty issues.
If you havent already and you’re able, try to get your kitty checked for renal issues. We neglected vet visits too long. It didn’t have to be this bad.
I’ve stopped stressing about the election, anyway.
@kupo
I stand beside you, right at your shoulder.
And with respect, you do need to know where they are coming from, as a matter of self-protection, but only to this extent: that the place they are coming from is a place which offers you no respect whatsoever, a place in which you are at best an exploitable resource – no place for you. And you do know that.
To US voters: This Canadian says bless you all. I hate how Trump has normalized the worst behaviour, emboldened and reassured all the bullies, the takers, the psychopaths, and not just in the US.
To Any Divinity that may be listening: Please, please, please let Trump be handed his ass on a platter tonight, with such a resounding defeat that the trumpling bullies will take note, and consider the downsides to that kind of conduct. Plus, you know, my American friends would get to keep a functional democracy. Thank you.
Apologies in advance if I spam all night long.
It’s a promising sign that GA is too close to call and SC too early to call. Even if they go to Trump and they probably will, it’s at least an indication there isn’t some sort of Trump surge.
I did with the one I got last week, but I also had a low-grade fever with it.
