Supposedly the remaining batches from AZ are supposed to be bluer than these from here on out, but I dunno. I have no idea who actually knows what they're talking about in these threads were everybody's doing back of the napkin math

Goin' through all the stages of the Vince McMahon meme

“We think much more than that (3days)”, he claims vites came in longer than 3 days, two days after the election.

They very nasty Dems have figured out how to experience time in a non-linear fashion! Very unfair!

Kinda all you need to know about policing in this country is that nobody's getting tear gassed in the Arizona crowd

Yeah I would still get tested if you live somewhere where that's easy to do.

I can't watch the news but just got a message from a friend that GA is at 15k gap with 90k remaining to count. Can anyone confirm?

People seem to have slightly different interpretations of his chances with what's left, but it seems like consensus is that Perdue getting to <50% to trigger a runoff is looking good, but Biden getting to a win is a longer shot but still possible

That helps. But I jsut want it to be over. The waiting is excruciating.

It's a weird situation right now, because the state where Biden is currently losing by the most out of what's left is the one where everyone looking at the outstanding vote right now is most sure that he'll win. Except Fox and AP with Arizona, I guess? Arizona is a weird case.

Guess we're waiting until Friday to see about PA?

That's when they expect to be completely done, but I would expect the networks to call it as soon as Biden's in the lead, yeah? I think the expectation is it's going to steadily move in Biden's direction from now on and it's just a matter of whether enough is left for him to overcome the deficit, which most everyone seems to agree by now is almost certain.

Best case scenario for the next few years is Trump launches a Fox News rival and ends up completely splitting the audience and they both lose influence compared to what Fox has now.

Well shit, I tested positive for COVID

Sounds like your case was as mild as mine was. I hope it stays that way!

I'd be prepared to have a few random bouts of fatigue for a few days after it seems like you're mostly recovered. That was the only thing that seemed different than just a regular cold in my case--it look a few days longer to feel back at 100% energy throughout the way day again.

Another thing that's making me feel... better-ish today, aside from the obvious of Biden seemingly being on the cusp of clinching, is that it looks the drop in the margin of the House majority won't be as bad as what the worst case scenario looked like. This is a lot like 2018, where early on on election night it was looking much more disastrous than what the final outcome was. A 52-48 Senate would still be a huge bummer for obvious reasons though.

Boy he bout to do it

I'm seeing a bunch of completely conflicting stuff about Biden's standing in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, so I think I'm gonna go to bed before my brain breaks any further. I'll see you guys tomorrow and we can evaluate the exact level of Hell World we live in.

Without the Senate none of this matters

Things will definitely still suck, but we avoid some absolute nightmare scenarios. Fauci and other competent officials will be retained for the COVID response. Trump was reportedly gonna fire Esper and nominate a more loyalist Defense secretary. He was gonna fire Wray at the FBI and appoint a loyalist. The entire government would become much more explicitly MAGA with a Trump win.

What this election reveals is that there are two Americas—the cities, and the towns—and that they don't agree on almost anything.

I think most importantly, they consume two totally different news environments. There were people who earnestly thought the entirity of Seattle and Minneapolis were on fire during the early George Floyd protests.

Now we get into Bush v. Gore lawsuit hell for the next few days (weeks?). Maybe more Brooks Brothers Riot incidents.

How does Poland figure into this

Biden apparently saw fit to announce that they're "on track to win this election" for whatever that's worth

I did buy some sticky traps with pheromones that seem to be really working. I had a couple caught in less than an hour after putting them out.  And on the whole the rate of seeing them seems to be really slowing down but it's not 100% yet, and I'm still seeing them farther afield from the kitchen too. I was reluctant to start throwing out stuff like seasoning but after what I saw with the chili powder tonight I think I'm tossing anything that looks even slightly dubious and hoping it speeds things up.

 

Also taking some advice I saw online to stick any bags of seeds/etc in the freezer for a week before opening them to kill off any eggs that may be in the package.

 

On some level I'm kind of relieved they're not clothes moths though. I'm pissed about the foodstuffs I'm having to replace but I'd be actually upset if they were ruining my clothes.

Yeah, the sticky traps will work, but you gotta keep em out for a while because they'll keep coming back if you don't get all of them

So if AZ holds and GA swings back to Biden, is it a lock at that point? 

It gets much, much, easier for sure. People seem nervous about the WI and MI numbers right now. I dunno, I haven't seen much drilling into them. The polls seemed much more confident for Biden in WI and MI then most other battlegrounds, so there would have to have been a massive polling failure for him to lose there

Welp, Prop 22 passed

I just discovered a bunch of dead pantry moths in a jar of fucking chili powder of all things so that's my premonition for how this night is going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How the fuck did the moths even get in there?! It was closed!!!

We had a pantry moth problem a couple of years ago and they were a huge bitch to completely get rid of
