And more

The big swing states, Texas, Florida, and, I guess North Carolina, are still all neck and neck. Well, not Florida - it looks like trump is taking it by a couple of percent.

It's driving me crazy how close this race is. Not just because there's no sane reason for it to be. One candidate is openly using his office to enrich himself, who's openly committed multiple crimes, and has continued to do so, has lied almost constantly, and often in easily disproven ways. He's admitted responding to a pandemic in a way that he hoped would help his reelection numbers rather than the American people and has therefore cost the lives of a quarter of a million Americans. It goes on and on, and yet he has this cult around him where none of that matters. He keeps saying "Law and Order" after we find out he lied on financial disclosure forms and has a secret Chinese bank account that he never revealed. It's nuts.

I'm on a discord with a bunch of friends. Right now, most people are posting pictures of their pets who are with them while watching. In a few more minutes, a lot of the western states will close polling and start reporting results.

Still more about red mirage. Michigan shows trump way ahead right now, but they haven't started counting the early voting ballots, which is about half of them, and are expected to heavily favor democrats.

Ugh. Nothing I say here means anything. It's just a way to pass the time while biting my nails waiting for election results. Already lost a few people I know to this asshole. Don't wanna lose any more.

I keep wondering how any news organization can responsibly declare tonight that a candidate has won victory in particular states, given that (1) the news people have been saying for weeks that we won't know the results of the *giant number* of mail-in ballots for days, and (2) the news people have been saying for weeks that there's a Republican/Democrat divide in whether voters vote by mail or in person.

It's like . . . the media spent weeks educating us on this, and now they're ignoring what they spent so much effort telling us?
