Political parties in the US aren't really political parties, they're cash networks. People can vote how they want and they can't really get kicked out.

Does he really use eye shadow because it looks like he does.

Statehood is a non-starter. You'd need 75% of both houses in Congress and 75% of state legislatures to ratify it. I feel like independence is more politically feasible than statehood.

Anything has gotta be better than Section 8 bullshit. Tax cuts for landlords to not maintain houses.

I've worked on a campaign before and I've seen the data they look at. If you're in a Dem majority state and you vote Dem, they don't care about you. Your vote is decided. If you're a "potential undecided" voter, then they'll try to win your vote more. If thousands of people vote socialist, the nerds who look at stats will notice it.

Fair point. This is pure vibes but nobody has the energy of the last two elections. Wonder if turnout will reflect that.

Biden gets another four years.

Kamala Harris as President with Republican control of both houses is probably the equation for the most amount of slaughter. Because then you can't critique Kamala so you can win Congress.

Actually 23 of the 30 something Senate seats up for grab are Democrats or caucus with them. There's no way the Dems keep the Senate.

Over our years of knowing each other, Layaway Man had waved the occasional red flag. We met in the lead-up to the 2016 election, and I knew he did not like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. He said something vaguely about probably voting for Gary Johnson, and I must have dissociated, because I kept seeing him. One time, he was very aggressive with someone standing too close to him on the subway as we commuted after one of our nights together, and it frightened me. He also posted to his Instagram a photo of an apparently unhoused man sleeping on the subway, which to me seemed pointlessly cruel — Patrick Bateman–esque, maybe, or even Trumpian. (Yes, I did just put them in order of scariness.)

Lmao why am I reading this garbage. "This piece of shit I was sleeping with turned out to be a piece of shit."

My prediction: we're not getting an official winner announced till Friday.

Other prediction: Kamala wins but Dems lose the Senate.
