This is my favourite part of the election. Watching people freak out.

In a few months those crazy Trump supporters will go back to being your neighbours and coworkers.

No arzying here, Hillary has this in the bag and it won't be close. Also you're crazy if you're already panicking about Florida with very few votes counted and the votes that have been counted being from red counties.

Lmao at NBC's description of the ground games: "on the Democratic side, people have gone door to door and bused people to the polls; on the Republican side has relied more on a self-motivation to turn out"

Please shut the gently caress up about your panic attacks over less than 1% of the vote. like .001% of votes nationally have been counted, it means less than nothing. Freaking out now sounds as delusional as Bill Mitchell, jfc yall

Obviously some of the folks posting haven't read the timelines saying a lot of the first states to come in are ruby red states like Indiana, Kentucky, etc? And then rural VA which always skews red? Calm down.
