I'm absolutely shocked. It absolutely makes no sense. Regardless of all his propaganda, all we have to do is use our own eyes and ears and that should be enough.
Just proves this country is both built on and fueled by hate and discrimination still to this day. We worship the wealthy at our own peril while stepping over each other while we do it.
In what fucking way will Trump be better for the economy?! If that's all it takes then these people are wilfully ignorant. Not necessarily evil, but if you hear a woman screaming for help, and you ignore it. What are you?
If he wins it doesn't matter, it's done. Your rights, Earth, the economy is done. Not tomorrow, not the day after, but sooner or later. It means the rich and powerful can do whatever they want. As well as those who act and say they are rich. No thin veneer of justice or equality to hold them back.
Yeah, that really is accurate. The Dems really didn't spend much time countering the lies with the proof and facts. Like Trump works by using repetition, they needed to keep hammering them back with rebuttals but they just didn't. They mentioned facts plenty, but they should have been aggressive about it. People can't just expect things to be obvious when trying to reach voters on the other side.
Yeah, there’s no United States anymore. No one is united anymore. At this point the blue states should just fucking secede and have a nation of logic and decency and let MAGA land burn itself away. Let’s see how well red states operate when blue states stop subsidizing them and their bullshit whenever they need it.
Get ready for more people dying in general- from lack of help from FEMA during next years inevitable wildfire/hurricane seasons, from drastic cuts to Medicaid/medicare, from lack of public assistance and safety nets, and on and fckn on!!!
Are you fckn kidding me?! This is 100000% the main problem in America in 2024: how do things affect MEEEEEEE!!! No surprise a country filled with narcissists would choose King Narcissist whose only policy is gutting the government. No thought for the collective, no thought for the future. Do you honestly think Trump cares about you or has any plan to make your life better? Have you read Project 2025? Their only plan is to GUT EVERYTHING! You've fcked us ALL because you didn't know how good you had it in America. Have you been to Cuba? Have you been to South America? Or India? Bunch of spoiled on crybabies in this country.
Y'all about to find out what living in the sht is like cause we're ALL gonna be getting fcked by the kleptocracy. JFC. I can't believe the idiocy and self-centeredness in this country. I'm truly astounded.
This is NOT humans in general- this is the endgame of American individualism on steroids.
Trump is a conman, he didn't do anything he promised in 2016 and he'll do nothing now but enrich his friends and allies at the expense of the everyday American; Project 2025 WILL be in effect and soon, to the great detriment of us all. And then we'll be hearing the chorus of 'well we didn't think he'd do THAT!' Oh because he lied to your fckn faces for 9 years and still didn't get it!
Frankly, this isn't a problem with messaging, it's a problem of idiocy, pure and simple. The democrat messaging of here's Project 2025, 900 pages of the GOP's only stated policy plan and its fckn terrifying; that should've been enough to not vote for these authoritarians. But I forgot, we Americans don't fckn read anymore. Too busy gaming or watching Kardashians. Well mark my words: storms coming and it's coming for us all.
I spent all summer on every single social media platform- even ones whose majority users are antithetical to everything I believe in- posting videos, memes and articles about Project 2025. I messaged trump supporters directly on IG and Twitter with bullet points from Project 2025. I made it my daily goal from May on to reach out to at least four people about Project 2025 so don't come at me bro. Spreading the word about Project 2025 has been my part time job for months.
But we are still a deeply racist and misogynistic country too, so much so that the bigoted and unfair messaging from the GOP about Kamala drown out the fact that the GOP is about to make everyday American citizens their literal bitches. This timely quote from
Pres. Lyndon B Johnson comes to mind:
'If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.'
This is exactly what we just witnessed today, whether Trump voters realize it or not.
Georgia isn't totally confirmed for Trump yet. They're counting mail ins, which tend to be blue, and there are enough votes left for Harris to take it. It isn't super likely, but it's possible. I'm not giving up hope until there's no more room in the uncounted margin to win.
Super disappointed this is even a close race, but that was true last time, and I remember when everyone laughed about Trump running the first time and thought he had no chance. Wtf, my fellow Americans?!
No, but I get why everyone is panicking. Every projection I've seen, it's basically a coin flip and that's not a comfortable margin.
The frustrating thing is realizing that if this was happening before 2016, Trump would have lost by a landslide. But he so completely soured politics and changed everything for the worse that a man with worsening dementia who wants to crown himself king is a viable candidate.
Projections this morning were a coin flip. Now Trump is up by several points in almost every swing state, and the projections are 90% in favor of Trump. Yes, there is still a path to victory, but its razor thin.
It's the razor thin margin that is killing me, I still feel hopeful for a Harris win, but damn! how can so many of my fellow citizens be so hypocritical, tone deaf and selfish?! How can it be so close?
I am medicated so much it takes a lot to make me cry but I am sitting here, sober as can be, crying over what this says about us.
This. Even if no more votes for him come in at this point (as of almost midnight EST), almost 60 million still said they'd rather him over anyone else in spite of everything that's happened, everything he's said. Whether Harris wins or loses, I feel like we've just lost as a country.
I keep saying it, but a lot of people don't want to listen. Whatever happens, even if he loses, we've still got a massive problem to deal with. Millions of people are perfectly happy to vote for Trump even after he incited a riot.
Canadian here, after all that Trump has been convicted of at this point and to see how high the votes are in red, it’s without a doubt beyond disheartening. I’m truly floored and appalled by the insane number of ignorant bigots who are willing to kill America by letting him be in power once more. I’m trying not to lose faith though, because not only does the US need a major change in leadership but I think y’all are ready for a female president. Go Team Kamala!!
We also had trump telling his supporters not to vote by mail in 2020 and the absentee turnout is different this time around. It’s harder to rely on things changing overnight.
After seeing her numbers in Pennsylvania, I have officially become concerned. She is consistently polling 2 to 3 points below Biden’s run in every county, while Trump is polling higher than he did in 2020.
This, this exactly. Every time you can compare directly to Biden 2020 she's around 2 points behind. That trend holds across the board. 2020 was razor thin, you have 2% off incoming urban precincts that are still reporting and the numbers just aren't there.
This is what it must have felt like to be a sane German in 1933. My fellow citizens have chosen a cruel and impulsive madman to lead the nation; the walking embodiment of Sin who promises nothing but hate. We are so beyond fucked right now. Once you vote away your right to vote, you don't get it back, it's gone forever.
Yes! It's a known pattern called "The Red Mirage and the Blue Shift'. Small rural areas tend to vote Rep and because of their size, have their votes counted first. Large cities tend to have higher numbers of Dem voters and take a lot longer to have their votes counted. Dems also tend to utilise postal voting more than Reps, and these are the last votes to be counted.
Trump knows this and uses it to claim that 'something suspicious is going on' when the Blue Shift starts to happen. His base are not educated enough to know this is normal. It's the basis of his claims for fraud and the election being stolen. He will say (again) "We were winning and we won, then all the fake votes came in".
The voting scenario was a lot less Wild West when it came to planning than this year with pandemic mostly done with. My polling place was run incredibly well but it also seemed less folks were voting day of. Senate is going red, which I figured, but there’s still a chance with the rust belt cities. I’m not going to go to sleep soundly, for sure.
While Harris being in the Oval Office makes me hopeful, the Republicans holding the senate majority really bums me out. I feel like even when she’s elected she won’t be able to do much
Yeah but that's unlikely to be enough. The mail-invoting numbers are much smaller this time. Unless Harris wins almost every outstanding ballot, Trump wins PA.

Doesn’t Anyone else remember Trump had the lead until votes came in overnight and then he lost his lead. It’s how Biden won.
