Yeah it's daft.
Every Trump voter interviewed says something like "yeah he's not perfect but I'm concerned about the economy".
What they actually mean is that they have no idea how the economy works but Trump makes them feel better about hating minorities.
What about the people that were protesting war crimes outside her rallies? No blame for them?
Everyone is frustrated right now.
You're the only one expressing your despair and frustration by accusing the people on your own side of letting you down.
Of course your feelings are valid and you're entitled to express them however you wish, I just feel like doing so right now in this thread is more harmful than beneficial.
True but you have to start counting sooner or later. I guess you could wait until the last ballot is cast in the last state.
This clip talks through the swings towards Trump in a bunch of demographics. It's just bizarre.
For example college educated women have swung towards trump. What the fuck.
Counting before polls close would influence voting. Even if it were "secret" you could publish fake leaks. It would devolve into a shit show of misinformation, even though we do have that already.
That's true but I think this statement is an indicator that this point in time was always going to be the gloomiest.
If you're looking at which states have been called then there may not be any surprises, but things like the NYT needle are following trends in states which are yet to be called.
I'm multi-screening about five different media sources and am letting you know that The New York Times just updated its live presidential forecast to predict a 67% chance of a Trump victory.
The day started out with the NYT in a toss-up position, but as the count has continued, it has started to slowly creep towards Trump.
Let's remember that many votes are yet to be counted and that in 2016, this same tracker at The New York Times was predicting a Clinton victory with 95% certainty.
Yeah I think that's the plan. IDK enough about states & timezones to say exactly when but surely we're approaching that time.
My despair is through the roof right now. What a mess.
I quite literally think I might have half a diazepam to get me through the next 6 hours or so.
Mate, things are gloomy enough right now without this type of accusatory comment.
Everyone has voted, the die is cast, if we lose everyone left of centre will be in mourning for a long time.
There's a lot I could say about your position and opinions but I just don't think this is the place.
I'd encourage you to think carefully about the type of commenter you want to be in this very troubled time.
Oh god. It's leaning the wrong way. I'm not going to create an NYT account so I can watch it.
Predictably, musk is pushing the "voter fraud in pensylvania" narrative.
Thousands of accounts on social media platform X have been sharing this video as evidence of the "fraud" in Pennsylvania.
But the footage is actually an old and widely debunked video of election workers in Arizona that was filmed in 2022 ahead of the US midterms.
Reuters has previously reported that what the video actually shows is a "routine procedure to install memory cards into voter machines".
Despite this, the video has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and reposted extensively.

Just gonna put all my stuff under this comment so I don't spam this thread.
The Australian Broadcasting Commission's live blog is pretty great:
A global episode of heat-related coral bleaching has grown to the largest on record, US authorities said Friday, sparking worry for the health of key marine ecosystems.
A global episode of heat-related coral bleaching has grown to the largest on record, US authorities said Friday, sparking worry for the health of key marine ecosystems.
From the beginning of 2023 through October 10, 2024, "roughly 77 percent of the world's reef area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress," Derek Manzello of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) told AFP.
When ocean water is too warm—such as during heat waves which have hit areas from Florida to Australia in the past year—coral expel their algae and turn white, an effect called "bleaching" that leaves them exposed to disease and at risk of dying off.

Remains of British Mount Everest Explorer Sandy Irvine, Including His Foot, Discovered Over 100 Years After His Disappearance

How to Promote Phishing and Scam Awareness
Just wondered how others promote threat awareness for friends, family, co-workers, and clients.
Every few weeks I email a half dozen employees & family members explaining one or other phishing attempt I've seen, just to keep it in peoples minds.
I heard someone else talking about a kind of email pen-testing service you can sign up for and they send scammy emails to see if the recipient falls for it. Seems like a great idea but only viable for me if it's very cheap.
I could link to something on privacyguides.org in my email footer but I think that's just virtue signalling more than anything actually useful.
