This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.
Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can't start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.
Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don't report until ALL 1,800 are in.

I really am in disbelief of these results.
It's a nightmare enough that we've lost the Senate and House both to the insane clowns of GOP. Now with the presidency on the brink of being lost too, it's worse.
Congrats, America, you've...shown your true colors here. 66 million of you seemed to really believe that a rapist, murderer and convicted felon is what's best for the country. You seem to believe that women should be treated as property. You believe immigrants should all be massively deported. You believe LGBTQ people are subhuman. You believe black people are the butt of the jokes.
Ukraine is going to lose the war now. Palestinians are going to be on the brink of extinction. Europe mind as well just block all contact with America. I expect more reversals and policy rollbacks. Corporations are going to get a huge push to royally fuck things up even more, with great support in doing so. I expect to see the landmark Supreme Court 2015 ruling rolled back and we'll be returning to "MARRIAGE IS SACRED TO A MAN AND WOMAN!" again.
I'm really failing to understand all and any self-justifications for why 66 million people really think this is what's best for us. I can hear the celebration roaring as those people rapidly continue to bang hammers against their heads in joyous glee.
A lot of accelerationists will be quite happy. Doomsday cults are unfortunately nothing new.
I think a lot of it was backlash to "woke politics", which is an extremely effective rallying cry for the right. The majority of the country does not appreciate medical nuance or worrying about pronouns, ain't no energy for that. Latinos being surprisingly hawkish on the immigration. International isolationism. Distrust of institutions and general dissatisfaction with the status quo, which Harris inherited as VP.
No, it appears like 67 some odd million idiots are just tired of like, doing things for the right reasons and what is logical and reasonable. That just burns out their tiny brains too much. If they had more than two braincells, they might realize that things could actually get better for not just the people wanting it, but for themselves too.
Yet, I'm firmly under the belief that people, those 67 million, are electing suicide by political affiliation. The cost? Well, the rest of the country. Someone just nuke us now, please.
Expecting people to be logical is a pretty high bar. History does not reflect large amounts of logic. Ease-of-understanding and emotion are also significant factors.
I've said for a while that I would be absolutely unsurprised to see another Trump term, we live in the post-satire era.
I think a lot of people need to have a good hard look at themselves due to the ridicule and derision they directed at the opposition electorate rather than trying to engage them and win them over.
I dunno, Trump was pretty damn derisive and he won. Maybe we need to get nastier.
Dude literally said he'd turn the military on and jail his political opponents. Didn't try to go across the isle at all...
Yeah but he had the populist message vs the establishment VP. It's the see-saw we've been seeing for awhile, whichever party is in charge suffers. Bernie and co have a viable strategy to counter this.
Oh I get it. Was just trying to strengthen your point about "reaching across the isle".
I think that's called "lowest common denominator" politics and whilst I understand why it could seem like the natural thing to do, it's not something I'll be taking part in.
Yeah me neither.
