The thing to remember is that the vast majority of people who voted for Trump are not the "put a bullet in their skull" variety. 70 million people voted for Trump. Trump's vote among POC actually increased since 2016. They are not a monolith. The point being, there is a base of people that the Democrats clearly do not speak to. Democrats need to be better.

In Oregon, medicinal use of psilocybin is now legal, though the language of the measure was somewhat vague, so I'll be interested to see how it's implemented. Also, all street drugs are decriminalized for personal use. If caught with drugs, you can either pay a $100 fine or go to a rehab center that, as I understand it, is paid for by the sate. I'm not sure if the amount classified as "personal use" will change. But drug possession of any kind is no longer a felony.

I found this a fascinating conversation

had me in the first half

He could resign so Pence could give him an ambiguous pardon for any crimes he committed while president. I don't think that will happen, but it's possible. Also, president Pence sounds terrifying.

Judging by mitch's press conference yesterday, he is fully prepared to abandon Trump

Gonna yeet that skeet. Gonna be a solid 6 roper, at least.

Honestly, I've been telling people that's what Portland protests are like for the most part. It's pretty much a party until the tear gas comes out. Which is basically at 11pm on the dot, so most people scram before then.

Don't forget Detroit. Put some respect on their name.

wachu talkin bout

That is definitely true.

It might come down to shit like military votes in Georgia, which might favor Trump. Then again, I know people in the military who are very anti-trump. Then again, military FROM GEORGIA.... probably Trump.

ngl I might trade democracy for a few years if Cyberpunk came out tomorrow.

FUCK THIS IS TOO MUCH STRESS

I appreciate you

I hope so

I mean... would you rather have 500 different election threads?

I know you probably can't assume most libertarian voters would have voted D or R, but I want to scream at them THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING TIME

I guess the jig is up

I can't speak for Seattle, but I'm tired of the media coverage about Portland. There's like 4 square blocks downtown that have been vandalized (and most stop signs, but those are just funny), but the only people that have made anything dangerous are police. If you go to a protest, you have people handing out snacks and water, people (during the day) bring their kids, it's not some hellscape. The media just portrays it as "PORTLAND IS BURNING!" It's not. I live and work here every day.

Lucian is a real person, cmack met him at least once.

You just don't have enough pizzazz, honey Nothing and no one preempted my return. I just had a "where's somewhere I can spew verbal vomit from my mouth" thought and the "DIP!!!!!" thought entered my mind.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH FUCK that's basically been me all day

Most states that haven't reported full numbers yet are decidedly blue. Like New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, and California. The red states are all pretty much counted.

AP is saying 98% reporting, though. Not sure how many ballots that means are left, but 40k seems like a lot.
