America's broken and can't ever be fixed

Quinn Angstrom
Trump burned the country to the ground for four years, didn't even bother trying to hide his ramptant crime and treason, got impeached, and we're going to re-elect him

Quinn Angstrom
the worst case scenario is here and I can't do anything about it

Doge-lover Joja
When To Expect Election Results In Every State

Quinn Angstrom
all of the most pivotal battleground states are showing small to huge advantages for Trump and 60%-95% of votes counted

Quinn Angstrom
I don't see how waiting for more votes has any chance of turning it around

Doge-lover Joja
understand, not all of the mail-in ballots have been counted yet

Princess Emily
yeah a lot of these aren't particularly close

Quinn Angstrom
emily I'm sorry but I've seen how much catastrophizing you've been doing this week and I really don't need it right now

Quinn Angstrom
I'm doing fine bringing my own anxiety into this without also shouldering yours

Princess Emily
o7

Quinn Angstrom
I don't know how I could possibly feel worse about this than I do right now

oh i'm scary
Quinn, I love you

oh i'm scary
I don't have any platitudes about how everything is gonna be okay but like

Quinn Angstrom
what happened to that blue wave in 2018

oh i'm scary
the way I feel like I'm going to cope right now, in this moment

Quinn Angstrom
did we just decide that that only mattered in the off year

oh i'm scary
is that I love my friends a whole lot

sailor bii
it looked like the republicans were winning the night of in 2018 too

sailor bii
and then when they finished counting they didn't

sailor bii
it's not over until it's over, quinn

sailor bii
we're waiting for the mail-in ballots

RobotApocalypse
mail-in ballots skew blue, in-person voting skews red, and mail-ins are usually counted last in most states because elections are stupid

RobotApocalypse
generally speaking if the margin of the lead is lower than the percent of votes left to count then a flip is still possible

RobotApocalypse
so if, for example, it's 60% counted and one candidate is leading by say 8%, then it could easily flip in the 40% remaining to be counted

kamikasei
If it helps, you can take the fact that Trump's trying to claim victory now as evidence that things will move more against him as counting continues

RobotApocalypse
you shouldn't be surprised if the numbers seem to favor trump initially and then start favoring biden as more votes are counted. basically, the count for red voters is front-loaded

kamikasei
And what I'm seeing on international media is straight up calling him out on being full of shit

kamikasei
Like, the BBC headline has "Trump falsely claims fraud"

Beans
he's doing the exact thing that everyone figured he'd try to do and are having none of it
