I don't engage in coarse language here, but.....stop the fucking bed wetting!

[brooklynite]

We lost Florida. We didn’t plan around winning Florida.

We’re ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania which we did plan around.

We’re ahead in Georgia, Nirth Carolina, Ohio and Texas.

We’re waiting for Arizona.

Stop whining.

[Farmgirl1961]

1. Thanks. I needed that.

Otherwise been feeling like I could barf at any second. I will hold the faith.

[Cha]

53. lol.. sorry. It didn't help me a bit

I don't "calm down" until all the votes are in and it's called.

But I don't make worrisome posts, either.

I took some herb drops that really help sleep at night. I figured they would help with calm 'cause I sure as hell am not going to sleep.

[BigmanPigman]

63. I used an herbal remedy (medicinal)

to help me sleep in conjunction with a zillion other ways that provide much needed peace of mind. I am having very upsetting deja vu with 2000 and 2004 (I had to leave the country for a year since I hated Team Bush getting reelected).

I expect to take heavy duty herbal remedies for some time.

[Cha]

65. I hear Ya... I feel like a

catatonic zombie right now. And, it's mental. The herbs are helping somewhat but I guess we just have to go through this life and death cliff hanger while they count the votes.

Winning Arizona really helped!

[treestar]

2. I know

I just want to say “just fucking stop it” every post

[Blue Owl]

3. K&R

[TomSlick]

4. Agreed.

Still early for bed wetting.

[Mystery sage]

5. Agreed

[chia]

6. Thank you, I can hardly stand to scan the thread titles here tonight

[gay texan]

7. where are you getting this info?

[TheBlackAdder]

16. brooklynite is hearing the same thing I am, and it's non-disclosure.

[USALiberal]

23. Really?? Nt

[USALiberal]

31. Why non-discloser? It is election night! Nt

[MissB]

32. Because they're way more connected to the Democratic Party's

machine than any of us are.

[melman]

34. According to..?

[MissB]

36. I think brooklynite has dropped enough hints over the years

So there’s that.

I know I’m not on Party calls.

[melman]

37. Oh I've seen all that

I just wonder if it's according to anyone else is the thing.

[MissB]

38. I can't answer that

I’m not and never have been suspicious of brooklynite.

[Turin_C3PO]

8. Agreed.

I’d say we have a 75% chance of defeating Trump at this point. Not ideal but far from apocalyptic.

[Vivienne235729]

9. Yesss!!!!! People need to calm the fuck down. I was good until I read some posts here.

[hlthe2b]

10. Thank you. Just the kick in the butt we need.

Reading all the (mostly miscued) gloom and doom posts is infectious, I'm afraid.

[JoeOtterbein]

11. It's ok to wet. Just don't...

...s....it yet!

[Different Drummer]

17. LOL! n/t

[Just_Vote_Dem]

12. If the Repubs win and Obamacare goes away

I die.

So if you don't like my fucking whinging, block me.

[PTWB]

24. Obamacare is probably gone regardless of whether or not Trump wins.

That ship likely said when Amy Barrett was appointed.

[wnylib]

48. Guess we'll just need an alternative

put in place after the court is balanced out.

[PTWB]

51. If they kill Obamacare it could turn the tide for us in the future.

It is very popular and they’re not likely to pass anything to replace it any time soon.

[Jakes Progress]

59. How is that court balancing

going to go in mcconnel's Senate?

[wnylib]

66. I have not checked the Senate race

outcomes, except for McConnell's win. So, are you saying we lost the Senate pickups we wanted? If so, there's 2022 to look forward to and two years between now and then to work on it. Give Biden two years of a unified Congress to work with.

[akbacchus_BC]

71. Senate race: 44 Dems, 46 rethugs. So unexpected, nt

[wnylib]

72. shit

[blm]

13. Thank you.

I was about to start hammering some of the worst who keep posting new threads.

[obamanut2012]

14. WE aren't ahead in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas.

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. we are not ahead in GA, OH and TX. NC is essentially tied and moving wrong direction

[frazzled]

19. Indeed

Something is VERY wrong, and I feel like I’m living in, like, Russia or Iran right now.
We are helpless.

[mtnsnake]

18. Where do you get that we're ahead in Georgia, Ohio, and Texas?

[Susan Calvin]

29. Yeah, I'm not seeing that either.

But honestly, I should just go to bed. With all those mail-in votes and different rules it's ridiculous that anybody is doing anything but just waiting.

[wnylib]

56. Huffpost shows us ahead in OH, but not

in TX or GA.

They have a real time map and charts showing the projected states and which way the others are leaning. Charts show the lead percentages AND the percentages of votes counted.

Remember, we expected Trump to look good in the beginning because most R's voted in person. There are still a lot of Dem mail ins to count. This is where courts might come into it, since some mail ins are being set aside and there are arguments about dates received and counted. That's up to our legal team.

We can still win this, but we need to be patient and let it play out.

I am avoiding TV and radio so I do not hear the talking head nonsense. I have put on some relaxing instrumental music from the 50's and 60's while checking in at DU, Huffpost, and The Guardian from time to time.

[mtnsnake]

57. Thank you

[wnylib]

64. The numbers and direction change

off and on as more votes come in. I checked again and PA and OH were leaning red, but their mail ins have not been totalled yet. The mail-ins for all the states will trickle in over the next few days. So today's counts are changeable, except where there are really huge leads one way or the other that can't be overcome by mail-ins.

[LizBeth]

20. For once I agree with you, but then we havent really lost Florida yet. But I never counted or

needed Florida. But there is the judge talking about the mail in at 300k in post office that they are going to talk about tomoroow.

But, ultimately I agree with you.

[BlueInPhilly]

21. Thank you!

No wonder they call is snowflakes

[mcar]

22. Thanks

[LSFL]

25. Thanks brooklynite

I engage in coarse language here quite often. I can instantly spot at least 3 more places in your title alone that you could have planted an f-bomb. I am literate but I have no shame. Feel free to send any rough drafts to me and I will punch them up for you. This is a service I provide for free. With 13 grandchildren running around , my wife will not let me curse at will. I think she may be a nazi.

[orleans]

26. not according to what i'm watching on cbs and abc

looks bad in michigan
almost too tight in north carolina

[Liberal In Red State]

28. Agreed - the numbers I am seeing don't look good in MI OH NC GA

[orleans]

30. "too close to call" in north carolina

just heard on msnbc

[babylonsister]

27. Thank you kindly. nt

[rpannier]

33. This must be an old post. Because as of now

trailing in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin
It ain't whining when losing all those states right now

[Old Crow]

35. Look, I hate to say this...

...but the info I'm seeing shows us behind in every state you've mentioned. My stomach is in an absolute knot and I think that's a reasonable response to what's unfolding. If you've got other data, I'm all ears.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. It is! Don't let these "calm down everyone" posts let you think

you aren't supposed to feel this way. Perfectly natural.

[Nitram]

39. Well, aren't you the tough guy! Obviously no girlie boy.

You sound totally stressed out.

[Jirel]

40. Thank you.

My goodness, the unreasoned panic is intense. It’s going to probably be a squeaker, but anyone who believed otherwise is deluding themselves. I get having anxiety over this, but there’s no reason to feed each others’ anxieties until everyone is losing it. I checked in on DU for a sec, and nope - I’m off for the night after this. News is useful, but waves of anxiety are not.

[Bigredhunk]

41. :-)

K&R

[herding cats]

42. Respectfully, I'm not seeing this in the data.

I'm not being a jerk, but most of those states are not looking good right now.

This from a Texan who worked hard and dreamed big.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. But can Biden win if he brings in MI WI and PA? All I want to know. And if VA

Doesn't go Biden, does that mean game over?

[spooky3]

61. VA is DEFINITELY going Biden. Go to the NYTimes site and look at the low

percentages of counts in Fairfax County, Alexandria, and Charlottesville, all very blue and FFX is huge. FFX always reports late and people panic when they shouldn't. AP already called it for Biden and for Warner.

Yes, Biden wins if he carries MI WI and PA. If he loses one of them but wins AZ and the one Nebraska vote around Omaha, he wins.

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. It's hard to keep the emotions in check.

This night is more important that I can put into words...and I know a lot of words.

[Ruby the Liberal]

44. It should have never been this close

I am soul crushed for my country. Kentucky sends McConnell back, Alabama sends Doug Jones home, SC denies Jaime Harrison?

This is why we will never have nice things.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Amen

[BlueStater]

49. None of the things you listed were surprises.

McConnell was definitely going to win, Graham was likely to win, and Jones was never going to win.

I can’t be really disappointed in things I had no expectations in.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. What planet?

[LW1977]

50. K&R

Been trashing threads left and right

[summer_in_TX]

52. Remember Trump's strategy

He thought he could get good early numbers in enough states that he could try to claim he'd won and fight counting all the huge numbers of mail-in ballots.

Until we have counts of those mail-in ballots, I'm not throwing in the towel. And I'm pushing back against early calls on winners and losers.

[VOX]

55. I don't whine or wet the bed, I chew carpet tacks, silently.

And EVERY state you mention in your board-nanny OP is now showing a Trump lead. (Except AZ.)

Let DU be DU — don’t attempt to muzzle your fellow Democrats. At the moment (8:00 PM PST), there is legitimate cause for worry.

[BigDemVoter]

58. Thx-- I needed a laugh.

[relayerbob]

60. Thank you!!

[demmiblue]

62. Your "friend":

Link to tweet

[Sophiegirl]

67. It's 12:10am

Are you still so confident?

I’m not. I am profoundly disappointed in the citizens of this country. How can it be that this orange monster is accumulating so many votes. I shake my head wondering, “Who are these people voting for him?”

[BusyBeingBest]

68. So far no must-win doors have slammed shut for us, and

at least one new door (AZ) opened. Keep the faith, people!

[yuiyoshida]

69. i will NOT STOP BEING stressed out till THIS is over , one way or another

but it feels like hell... i am smoking a lot of weed... I do this when I get stressed.

[James48]

70. Let me tell you a story -

Lots of votes here in Michigan still have not been counted or uploaded. The big story is turnout. In my precinct, 2016 turnout was 1907 people, or about 61%. This year it was 82%, and 2509 voters. That is huge. But there are still tons of absentee ballots in my state which are put into their own precincts and aren’t uploaded yet, and much of them will be Biden heavy. It is still much too early to call my state of Michigan either way. No race has every had this many people vote (82%) before.
