(18,464 posts)We have lost the senate and the house is worse. We realize that our country still just cant wrap its collective head around a woman leader and that is hard to take. The threats of violence against those he doesnt like is real and scary.
Yes, there are more votes to count and its annoying the media keeps calling races with like 14% of the votes in.
Please dont keep folks on ignore. Hopefully, we are all feeling better and rested in a couple days and we can begin to sift through it all.

(34,637 posts)I just can't take all -the hair-pulling and teeth-gnashing.

(25,453 posts)Thinking (correctly or not) you're losing when you (mistakenly thought you) had every damned reason in the world to win is frustrating as hell. This is a hard path to walk, and many people are experiencing it for the first time. The panic and upset is very real.
Please try to be gentle. For better or worse, we're in this together.

(8,455 posts)But it hasn't come to that. The most critical states have not yet been called. We really don't know the outcome yet.
We did know it would be close, and it's close.

(25,355 posts)I am far more concerned about Vance and project 2025 than the orange shitstain.
wnylib
(25,355 posts)what is coming.
Survival and effective resistance are what I am thinking about now.
As badly as we feel now, imagine what this means to Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. And the rest of Europe.
NJCher
(42,317 posts)Vance is as unlikable as DeSantis. I don't see that happening, not in the least.
IzzaNuDay

(51,975 posts)No one thought it was possible that Trump could win. Tonight is like reliving that horrible moment.
Self Esteem
(2,248 posts)Why they could watch America elect him in 2016 and then nearly reelect him in 2020, and decide he stood no chance of winning in 2024 is beyond me.
It's hard to accept but Democrats are obviously not on the same page as America right now.
PatSeg
(51,975 posts)Especially being Trump has just gotten worse over the years. I didn't believe that so many people could possibly be that ignorant and clueless.
Yeah, so I definitely am not on the same page as America right now. I can't imagine any sane person being there.
oldmanlynn
(770 posts)Thats it. She ran a good campaign. Data that i saw on this website lead me to believe we were in the lead 2-3 points.
Americans want trump.
