So we have to wait until January for the Georgia special election for the Senate seat.

Oh, I just flipped back to the Presidential coverage and they're just calling California, Washington and Oregon with 0% of the votes in? I get that these are blue strongholds but that seems presumptuous!

There was a year when California was called before the polls even closed.  They now do us the favor of waiting until 8:00:30 PST.  

We will go blue.

CNN just said there's a million PA absentees that haven't been counted. That's good news.

[Maggie Mae]

@fraurosenaI forgot that Montana was also a competitive senate seat this year.

Thanks @Maggie Mae @Destinyand @JoyfulSel it’s really kind of you to spell it out for me. Your election system in the US is quite different to ours and I appreciate your patience with me asking dumb questions!!

[fraurosena]

Sound advice.

If by quite different you mean convoluted bullshit, I agree.

If you haven't noticed, I have FEELINGS about the electoral college.

You get irate And curse me out  and hey, You do you! But I asked a simple question: what in my shit stirring post is false or not factual?  Has Trumped stopped LBGTQ from living their lives, making a family or a living or taken away a single right in four years? 
 

Still waiting.

@HerNameIsBuffy Thank you. My mouth dropped open in a massive WTF but I didn't have a coherent response.

Well I thought I should be *polite* by saying it is ‘different’ ... 

[Maggie Mae]

We waste so much energy on the electoral college. We could be talking about actual policies - DC just voted to decriminalize mushrooms (the drug kind, not the culinary kind), but we are all wrapped up in mathematical probabilities of winning states.

I came here to post this.  No one panic about Michigan yet, the early and mail votes are barely in and we knew election day votes would be Trump heavy.  We can't panic about Michigan or PA yet.

Michigan had over 3 million absentee ballots this election. It is too soon to give up on us.

In case you weren't familiar, the T in LGBTQ is transgender. I'm not bothering to link more when you are clearly being a disingenuous.

@tabitha2, first of all, fuck you. Secondly, here's a link to some stuff. https://www.hrc.org/news/the-list-of-trumps-unprecedented-steps-for-the-lgbtq-community

Fox: Biden 218, Trump 148

Also, Mark Kelly (Mr. Gabrielle Giffords) will beat Martha McSally (quick quick quick!)

THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES. You completely just ignored all the other issues - the fact that he cozies up to dictators. That his ex wife is on record (and recanted, because that's what abused women do) calling him a rapist. He's on video discussing his infant daughter's legs and breasts. He defended Giuliani's abhorrent behavior in the Borat movie. He raped a reporter in a dressing room. He allowed Russia to interfere with our elections. he's a known racist. He's anti-science. He believes his body has a finite amount of energy. He spends fortunes of public money to go golfing. He praises violence. He incites violence. He profits, personally, from his office. He's violated the Hatch Act.

Thank you. I was 200% certain there was more but didn't have the mental bandwidth to go searching when I'm already barely staving off a meltdown. The military thing was just the first thing that popped in my head.

You are posting on a forum that examines the damage that fundamentalists cause to society. He nominated a woman who's religion literally calls her a handmaid. That's just the most recent thing. You're doing some serious mental gymnastics trying to justify yourself right now. Buffy was being polite as far as I'm concerned. Seriously, just stop.

Florida passed a $15 minimum wage, which is really inconsistent with the level of Trump voting. 

[fraurosena]

Yessss! If Faux is calling it, it must be true. This is big.

Yay! also, what the all-encompassing fuck? How can you vote for a reasonable minimum wage and also for trump?

Fox is discussing that possibility of neither candidate reaching 270. As if.

Tommy Tuberville sounds like a name for comic-book villain, or a comedian. 

Yeah, it does.  He's the former football coach at Auburn University and a Trump ass kisser.
