Just found out one of the people I work with was OG K-Hive from 2020. It's gonna be a loooooong day. What should I do to stay sane while looking like I'm working?
I don't care who wins the presidential election but I'm really pulling for my one good local DSA dem to remain in the state assembly, voting for her in the primary against her AIPAC backed challenger was the only good thing to come out of me being registered as a dem so I hope she can stay
Like she's legit the only dem I'm voting for and she deserves to win for opposing the genocide and just having consistently good policy
An important part of your leftist journey is deciding which obscure definitely not marginalized regional group you're going to be really really unreasonably racist about.
is posting neo-fash vapor-wave Hyperborean supercuts or some shit. Libs are very impressed because I guess it never really sunk in for them that Apartheid Clyde is exactly what he looks like.
Tbh I'm kinda happy with whoever loses. Liberals are skin-crawlingly disgusting, pretending they care about anything while endorsing genocide wholeheartedly. They deserve to utterly eat shit and face actual consequences for their gleeful slaughter.
On the other hand, chuds are so comically evil that it's hard to believe sometimes. They just genuinely believe that they are better than everyone and expect everyone to agree with them.
Ultimately, it comes down to who shits their pants hardest then they lose, and I honestly think the liberals would be funnier. Jan 6 was hilarious but will never happen again, Trump's energy has died down so much. But I really, really want to see liberal talking heads pissing and shitting on MSNBC about how the world has ended and democracy has died, only for Trump to be exactly the same as Biden. I want to see them say they're in the Resistance, which consists of posting epic dunks on Twitter and being racist.
No matter who wins, we all lose. But at least some of the losers will be very funny
very excited and honoured to vote in the last free elections, 250 years it been a great run. I’m still ridin with Biden but good luck to all candidates, and god bless America
Satire is dead. Satire has been tied to a 1982 Mitsubishi Gallant and pushed off the deck of a container vessel in the open ocean. Satire has attined nirvana and departed the wheel of samsara. Satire is DEAD.
These people are either bots or Minnesotans, and since no Minnesotan has every passed the Voight-Kampf test there's no way to say.
Seriously I hope it's bots because people hooting and hollering because their Midwest Klan Daddy says "It is okay to boo people you think are an existential threat to your existance" is... like... words have failed me I don't have words.
last year i was talking to my cousin and they told a story about their great uncle who was a about 7 years old in 1920 for the election and his dad took him down to the polling station to see the results. this was back in the day, you understand, and you'd have to go look at a chalkboard to see the tally. anyway my great uncle twice removed or whatever he is, he looked at the tally and then looked down at the kid and said, "they didn't count my vote."
"how do you know, dad?"
"because it says there's 0 votes for eugene debs!"
It’s actually hilarious how much kammy has failed upwards. From getting absolutely roasted in the primary last time around to president in one cycle. Supporting genocide really takes you places in the USA
The Uncommitted movement was bribed $400,000 from a Democratic Party PAC with the explicit agreement that in doing so it prevents the Uncommitted movement from endorsing anyone but Harris
Normally not much a chatter but need to vent. I don't even live in a swing state. I'm in as firm a blue state as you can get. Yet my family still feels the need to get mad at me for voting Claudia. As if there's some invisible number you have it hit and then the liberal fairy will give you good boi points.
At least voting PSL eases my conscience a little. If I voted Harris and she still loses I would not only contribute nothing to that result. But then I'd feel shit for voting for the genocide enabler.
Hi, Im looking for someone in a swing state that would like vote swap with me. I want you to vote independent and you can choose what I vote for breakfast, I'll even match 2:1. I'll eat two breakfast.
Just put in my ballot for Claudia De La Cruz. Wrote in Joseph Stalin for all the local "entrepreneur vs cop" races, and voted appropriately on measures. Never gonna vote for a Democrat ever again.
Every so often I find myself thinking back and juxtaposing my current view of US electoral politics to how I felt on the day of the 2020 Nevada caucus. What a fucking radicalizing experience the 2020 primary was, and it becomes more and more radicalizing the longer time goes on and reveals to us none of it ever mattered.
Look -- if I don't win this thing after all this talk, I’m in trouble. Will you please go vote?
I came here, whatever the hell time it is, who the hell knows? I'm giving you the full bore. You wouldn’t let me leave in half an hour. I could have run up here, done it, started screaming, "Make America Great Again!" five or six times, and then left to the cheers of the crowd -- I would have been home sleeping right now. I hope to hell that you're gonna get your asses out and vote!
I'm genuinely wondering a bit if pollsters are so terrified of losing their legitimacy any further that they're decided to just weigh the polls to roughly 50/50. Like they do have to do some math to try to guess what demographics are less likely to answer polls or whatever but after 2016 and 2020 the process probably looks insane.
Thew only good thing that happens during elections is once in a while you see a former BlueMAGA no matter who account standing on top of a T-34 waving the red banner and it's like "Wow, they can learn."
“Watch as we at US left wing news go to a local university to ask young voters about who they’re voting for.
We will be sure to avoid questions related to corporate capture, inflation, exuberant costs of living, rising costs of education and the US’s role in an active genocide.”
Also worth mentioning how funny/bonkers it is that we don't know who wins on election night. Because the other team brings in rules lawyers to make the bean counters double count and triple count the beans because reasons. While in other countries they know like an hour after the polls close.
Please consider helping out two comrades in Palestine! 🇵🇸
Watching this Godamn fucking election coverage on the mainstream press
The “analyst” clearly showed how Kamala Harris can lose if she doesn’t get enough votes in one key state, though the numbers in question showed millions more votes than Trump
What is wrong with the average person that they continue to stand by this bullshit? Fucking rubes
A bunch of "leftist" streamers are fearmongering about Trump at the last second. I think this is maybe the first time I've removed a post by Good Politics Guy from /r/BreadTube, because he's suddenly discovered that Trump is a Epstein-adjacent child molester and is fine with murdering journalists, and GPG is now screaming about Trump "ending our democracy". Asleep at the wheel until two days before the election? WTF?!
So when Kamala went on SNL it violated the equal time rule that doesn’t exist anymore, but when Trump did, it didn’t? I don’t really care and probably have the details wrong.
Would you mind changing the title to US or United states election day? The US is not the Americas, and the US's use of america to refer only to itself and exclude central, south america, and the carribean has a long history that goes back to it's imperial ambitions to create a "greater america".
Whoever wins will have an assassination attempt within a month but due to the decrease in quality of USAmerican assassins over the years, they will miss and hit a secret service agent or something
Trump is probably gonna take the win, and liberals everywhere will go on overdrive scapegoating russia, the green party, and muslim americans.
We'll see A LOT of meltdown posts, then after a month or so, liberals will start to point fingers at themselves and start shitfights with each other, and also act like they supported Palestine all along. Nothing breeds dissent like defeat.
The libs are getting creepy with it folks. Yesterday someone came to the door and asked for me specifically, then asked who I was voting for? Thankfully I wasn’t the person who answered the door so I didn’t have to answer them. The postcards were weird (I also got one) but this is just creepy. I really regret changing my registration to Democrat for like one month in 2020 to vote for B*rnie
I don't think anything, shall we say, "exciting" will happen, regardless of the result. 2020 was far more tense. Everyone seems so exhausted this time around.
I Hate James Dobson just full libbed out with "vote for the one who gets you closer to the world you want, fighting and organizing will be harder under Trump!" As if genocide gets me any closer to the world i want, as if the last fucking year hasn't happened, no mention of Palestine at all, just baffled anger and disappointment on my end. This stupid election is like the fucking blood moon, it just draws out the worst and most selfish in people who should know better
Im not American, but if I were, Id vote third party in every election. Seems like the only way (from an outsider’s perspective) to tell the two major parties to get fucked, even if it’s just in a minor way.
Plus you get the joy to tell libs you VOTED (3rd party)
99% PERCENT OF THE VOTE GOES TO 'LMFAO PARTY ROCK ANTHEM'
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, DONALD J. TRUMP WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WINNING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IN A LANDSLIDE
My prediction is that I'll be one of 10 PSL voters in my entire state. Will report back if I'm on the money or way off. Also voted in person for the first time ever because this backwards state doesn't do mail votes. It only took like 15 minutes but like why? I even got to use a touch screen to print out my ballot and stick it in a scanner. If you're worried about mail being manipulated, how come you don't worry that scanner dumps straight into a trash can hidden in the shell?
I'm split on who wins. For a long time I leaned Trump, but these recent days... I think the dems might actually pull off the mythological "moderate" republican. Trump is weird, JD Vance is weird, Elon is incredibly weird, they're all cringy and Kamala is worse than most republicans, so maybe she gets them. On the other hand she loses a large amount of voters the dems take for granted, on account of her being a republican now.
I dunno.
Thesis: The reason dems are losing ground with POCs isn't because Trump is winning the men over; but because the older non-white generations have over the last 4 years been decimated at a higher relative rate thanks to covid and it's knock-on effects
My final take on the election: We will be in the same country, in the same basic decline, arming the same genocide. The captain's hat can change heads, but it's the same sinking ship.
I think Kamala will win. If she doesn't, I'm going to rip on democrats super hard and pretend it was my doing, obviously, but when someone described her as representing the "Starmer-ization" of American politics that kind of clicked with me. Executing increasingly fascist policies with a liberal veneer seems preferable to capitalists compared to a more explicitly racialized and inwardly violent fascism.
I think blue facism gives them the dual advantage of pacifying the "soft-left" (small-L liberals, "progressives", SuccDumms -- a huge chunk of the politically active non-chuds) while pissing off the chuds so they swing extra hard to the right when they next come to power, which will in turn be normalized by the democrats as they perpetually "chase the dragon" of moderate republican voters and increasingly adopt right-wing framing of issues.
I think this allows the capitalists to create an environment increasingly hostile towards leftism, but without rocking the boat enough to trigger a meaningful antifascist backlash. Basically capitalism's own "boil the frog" approach.
My trans partner is voting for the first time since like 2016 or something, naturally scared of Project 2025. Naturally I have some sympathy for people in a more vulnerable spot, but I'm obviously getting a wall when I mention how Kamala is already giving trans people the cold shoulder.
I'm glad to see PSL, the Green Party, and Cornel West are all collaborating. I don't think I've seen major third-party campaigns explicitly support each other like this in the past. Obviously it won't change the outcome of the election at all, but for people like me, where I had to vote for Stein since Claudia and Karina (as well as Cornel West) got removed from the ballot in Georgia, it's helpful to see there's at least a similarly-aligned option
Let chaos reign. Let the seat of the dark god of capital lose its mandate and plunge into political upheaval.
Anyway, share your favorite chaotic scenarios or predictions for the coming shitshow. I only remember one.
Trump wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college. This one is cool because the political parties have to flip their programming overnight about the electoral college and we get to see new brainworms develop for how the American democracy was corrupted (how can it be corrupted if it was always an oligarchic dictatorship of capital?).
Will there be recounts? How many states will have stop the steal rallies to intimidate poll workers in non-hwite areas? Will Biden declare martial law when returns on January 6th 2: January 7th? How racist will both political parties get when they lose? Find out next week on over the next week and stay tuned until the season finale on January 20th.
It seems like every election year, without fail, I am exposed to an inordinate amount of liberals who have the nerve to cry foul (toward leftists usually) about not voting/ voting third party
Remember last election when, in the final days, biden promised a huge amount of student debt relief (he lied)
At least we got a fraction of the covid stimulus he promised (then he killed like a million people by ending lockdowns)
Now we get NOTHING, not a promise for climate change action, or healthcare reform, or the promise to do less genocide and war. Not even a promise to take executive action on women's rights (the senate isn't going to pass a bill, and I feel like everyone secretly knows this). Shit's bleak in burgerland
No matter what they tell pollsters, there is so much racism and misogyny in America that I'm going with Trump. Especially in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Biden only beat him cause he was just another flavor of white guy.
Prediction:
Kamala wins, but she gets impeached less than 2 years in. For some unexplained reason, her getting impeached will have actual consequences.
Hot take: the accelarationist will win. The accelarationist candidate is kamala. Things will keep getting worse, the Democrats won't get anything done, and this will take fascism into overdrive in the US.
Anyway if trump does end up winning it will be extremely funny.
So hypothetical: What happens if Iran strikes isisrael today? Like 10x what they did last time. Not a "don't fuck with us" but a "you are dead" size strike.
Does that swing it for Kadolf because she is all "most lethal military" or to Trump because he is "I canceled the nuke deal and killed Soleimani"
I do think Kamala is gonna win, because the abortion ban has been an (undeserved) boon to the demoncrats. Men can’t even wipe their ass, and Trump expects them to hand him the election.
538-type redditors gooning over this Ann Selzer poll showing Harris at +4 in Iowa because her predictions have been within like 1 points of the actual result for the past few cycles.
Obviously that kind of performance would be insane so I don't see it happening. But I wonder if it's a sign that her odds are better than those currently represented in the polls and prediction models
I say I don’t care about this election, but living in the heart of the great satan and hearing everyone talk about it, it’s hard not to be at least a little interested in the results.
How I feel about it seems to be completely dependent upon the last person I talked to. After Kamala announced her candidacy I was going hard on my anti-kkkopmala shit since the libs were being so completely insufferable. Now that things have calmed down a bit and I’ve gone back to my normal state of having to deal with chuds constantly, I’m more inclined to hate Trump more since I would just relish the chance to see these people eat shit a second time. Bonus would be seeing Elon’s meltdown in real time. Lucky for me it’s pretty much 50-50 and could go either way!
The midseason finale where Trump got shot and Biden dropped out was great, but everything since then has just been table-setting and I'm not sure the writers are going to be able to stick the landing. Kinda wish they'd just cancel the show already.
Welcome to our non-stop election coverage we will be speaking into this camera nonstop for the next 24 hours not a single space no full stops barely any grammar at all just non stop live election coverage we break now to my colleague Julia Julia what are you seeing where you are thanks Greg what an exciting day and we are seeing lots and lots of excitement and energy about our non stop election coverage ok thanks Julia now to Raymond who has prepared some visuals for us thanks Greg as you can see in this chart our coverage is truly non stop and if we run the simulations now these are very early numbers less than 1% into our non stop coverage but we are already seeing one minute and if coverage continues this way over the next 24 hours then our coverage will be truly non stop but there are some very important hours still to come so we will have to see if this trend continues that’s amazing to see thanks Raymond isn’t great to have some maths nerd in a bow tie explain some little pie charts to us it’s really shaping up to be a tight race can our coverage really reach 24 hours? Whoa I need to interject there Greg because that question mark while grammatically required in that instance was some punctuation and I think that might represent a real turning point in this race as some might see that as an early sign of this being an unsustainable exercise and frankly I think our audience are already getting tired of this bit well now just wait a bit Bill we will come to you soon but I’m hearing that Julia has another update for us, Julia?
No media or internet, and no active engagement in IRL discussions about politics, starting from next week, until you find out who the winner of the US elections is.
Those who make it to the end of the month without knowing get a gold star.
You want the election to be over so you can go back to brunch. I want it to be over so I don't have to hear about this bourgeois farce anymore. We are not the same.
If Trump loses, it's entirely because of abortion. None of the Democrats or Republicans I know seem to really care about Palestine. Most have the opinion they elected a terrorist organization as their government who had a stated goal of the complete genocide of Israel, then they fucked around and found out when Israel pulled the uno reverse card. Surprised Pikachu face.
The open border and seeming complete disregard for the economic plight of the common man is killing Dems. I can't tell you how many people I've heard say they're still a 2000 Democrat which is why they're voting for Trump.
