AP hasn't called it but looks to be so.

I love Sherrod Brown, he's a good man who fought hard for the little guy. Kelly Ayotte won the New Hampshire governor's race tonight. I think she'll be the first female president of the USA one day.

I'm liking this battle of two guys that are completely confident that they know what's happening days in advance now going head to head with the same confidence.

No state has finished counting, this is all just talk. I do not mind being wrong, but lets wait until midnight or tomorrow to call the close ones.

To think that the outlier pools and internet and twitter noise mean anything, is silly until midnight

Again, I don't mind being wrong, but this is a replay of the past election.

But almost absolutely expected.

I made a joke that Trump was going to win a year ago. And then it became a running gag.

And now...here we are.

NBC reporting that Harris has sent her staff home for the night.

NYT is saying Trump is up by 150k in Michigan. CNN and MSNBC are saying Kamala is up. Wut

Holy s***. The more Trump supporters they interview on CBC, the more depressing this gets. My god these people are dumb. Like incredibly, shockingly dumb.

Remember how Biden killed Keystone, only to see oil prices skyrocket? Then backtrack on the whole post oil thing? (Not that there is a connection but optics are poor)

Remember how the Dem Gov of Michigan wants to shut down an oil pipeline that powers her state?

One mans fairness is another’s wealth redistribution.

Either Dems can accept it, or just cry about toxic masculinity and go back to losing.

Online noise. Wait until midnight or 2 am when actual ballots are counted. I see the same on TV, but i also saw this 4 years ago, they are just better at the online game.

They're dumb but they have an equal vote. So here we are.
