Goddammit that was a nightmare.
I need something good.

Do you remember the big concert for HRC the night before? I had a queasy feeling, but I was all in based on the polls.

Different vibe this go around. More nervous about post-Tuesday than any Tuesday results.
I think Biden is going to win. Whether he wins by a lot or one state, though?

(459 posts)I kept hoping it was just a bad dream. I didn't sleep from Election Night until that Friday.
Then I followed the Upshot again in 2018 and it did the same bottoming out I saw in 2016 and I got that horrible sinking feeling again.... then it rebounded and Dems took the house.
I definitely won't be following that if they do it this year. I will follow a few non-media people I like on twitter and will ignore the talking heads until it looks like we're about to get a 270 call for Biden. If it goes the other way I'll accept that I'll probably never get another good nights sleep for as long as I live.
