I usually watch CNN on these nights but they had some trumpfuck on the panel lying his ass off during the debates and I assume he’ll be there tonight. I’ll probably just go with MSNBC, I don’t care much about bias anymore, give me an echo chamber that’s at least tethered in reality.

We knew pretty early on in 2016 things weren't going well. Like I remember by 8pm going oh fuck he is gonna win. 

Yeah, I was in PHX for work and we were pretty sure by the time we left for dinner. I eat early too.

Took a peek over at Texags Politics... those people are in a different reality.

Tigerdroppings went full maga early on, got into promoting qanon… i literally warned them what would happen before they banned me.  Like TD, bubble at Texags is a product of the site’s administration choices and/or political leanings.

I'm proud of myself in that it is 4:50 and I have largely avoided any TVs, online coverage on CNN and the like and stuck to here and Threads.  Its a good way to cope with the stress but there will be margaritas tonight.

I’ve spent a lifetime hating the city of Philadelphia ever since they cheered Michael Irvin’s injury. If they carry Pennsylvania, then between that and Jerry Jones being a shit stain, I’m going to give Philly a pass this year to abuse the Cowboy’s rotting carcass.

Did CNN say their exits show 17% of republicans are voting for Harris?

I went to to Twitter and it looks like CNN was saying 17% of Trump voters made their decision AGAINST Harris (vs. voting FOR Trump)

But I don't fucking know shit about fuck.

I remember 2016 turning on a dime. I forget what states came in but it went from pretty much a coronation to “oh shit Trump just won”. Then Hillary conceded like an hour later. Good times.

Wisconsin freaking me the fuck out.

Have you ever been to Wisconsin? It's all white people and cows (and bad ass golf courses). Wouldn't read much into it.

Yeah, I couldn't take it.

I went to bed at like 8:30 and my wife I may awaken in a country that moved back 40 years.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about turnout so far.

Were you lost?  Did you not know where you were?  I mean pick a topic, any topic and the bolded holds true.

HUGE, if true

 

When I was like 10 and we were busted ass poor my uncle would come to town and take us out to eat and we always wanted to go to chilis for their fajitas. I thought it was fine dining.

when I was in college I lived on skillet Queso and miller lites.

when I was in law school, there weren’t many places to go for dinner so the Cadillac fajitas at chilis was it.

I’m not going to pretend it’s great food and I haven’t eaten there in years and years and have no desire really to go there but I’ve got a long history with that chain.

so I have no problem celebrating Kamalas win with some skillet queso and a plate of sizzling fajitas … though i may bring my own tortillas.

At like 8, there were FL counties that should've been deep blue that were pink. I said exactly that, "oh shit, Trump won."

What does mean they actually did with their ballot, not vote for president? If so, I'll take it.

I mean, we oughta all pick one, and that's the central one.  The 183 and Burnet one is slightly closer to me.  But for the team.  For Surly.  For Kamala.  For AMERICA....I'll go to the flagship Chilis.

CBS News showed some exit polling with some stats that hit me. They asked what were the most important issues to voters - and “the state of the democracy” was 30 something percent for both men and women and “immigration” was 13% for women and 16% for men.

In short, the exit polls showed that the immigration issue was half as important to people as the state of our democracy.  I know this is an unverified small bit of data, but if this holds true, it has huge implications.  

the short version would be that twice as many people are motivated by Harris’s big issue then are by Trump’s big issue

that cannot be good for the orange dip shit

Edit: the winner in the clubhouse issue was the economy, although not much more important than the state of democracy.   As the most important issue, it will obviously benefit a candidate when the voter thinks the other guy is responsible for the bad economy, what’s the moon it will be a negative with the voter thinks the economy is fine or getting better.

Still, to see the state of our democracy beating immigration two to one gives me a positive vibe

As a fellow lake rat, that trek is excessive. There is a certain bent appeal of rolling off the lake looking rough and sliding into the galleria. Fuck the snooty assholes. We are lake rats, hear us roar.

Counterpoint: James Carville and others were raising the alarm a few days before but everybody ignored them - there were red flags for Hillary (none of which were present for Kamala).
