I legitimately don't know, doubly so because she jumped the rails and hit me for a random post in this thread when most of her other probes were in the Poliwonk thread.

Sometimes mods and IKs just randomly melt down in times of stress, and a night like this would certainly be one hell of an AZ-5 button. I sincerely hope she's okay though.

Read AZ-5 and started wondering what a congressional district had to do with buttons before I thought about it for a few seconds.

You would just wake up in a world where someone had purposefully constructed Trump and our present reality.

WI is likely going Trump, he has a monster lead in MI and PA as well. Not sure mail-ins can overcome that tbh

The take away from this is once again you just can't expect to win an election with a candidate with negative charisma. Biden 5 years ago with some machismo still in his veins probably wins comfortably, Biden the cringe inducingly infirm 77 year old? Just not going to get non partisans to break your way.

People were saying the mail in ballots still have to be counted when mi/wi/pa were at like 20% now we’re up to 82%/71%/74% and people are still coping with the same line. Trump has a big lead in the first two and a massive one in PA. They should finish counting every ballot of course but the outcome is already clear.

Also maybe don’t run a guy who yells at you to go vote for trump when you criticize him. The whole hostage-taking approach for democrats seems to have run its course if Biden’s done.

look it's very important that we not take anything away from this election. like all democratic losses, this is just a fluke - a gust of wind and it could have gone the other way - and the democratic leadership absolutely needs to stay the course and keep doing the same things which are bound to work eventually

Because they literally have not been counted yet. Again, that doesn't mean BIden will win, but there is a reason nobody has called those states yet.
