    So all the cheating didn't happen right? I paid close attention to real indicators and this was obvious a week ago.

    Anyway my most important race here in Vancouver is Marie Perez vs Joe Kent. Still hoping Perez can win that.

    As it looks now voters across America simply didn't turn out again. Looks like at this point under 140 million people voted. In 2020 almost 160 million voted.
    Some of that gap will close. The votes are not all in yet but it's obvious people are election weary. If you did not vote you have nothing to complain about.

    The numbers could go up a fair amount. The last few states are at around 50% counted.

    Also, how are the last few states at only about 50% counted? Lol. Always amazes me how a few states every election manage to completely fumble the the science of “counting the things until there are no more of the things”

    Only one state is still around 60%. California which obviously has the largest voting base. Every other major state (Texas, New York, Florida) is 98-99%.
    Democrats did not show up to this election. It's very clear.

    I saw this coming a week ago (actually in July). Posted it on here and got blasted.

    It's insane that we don't have the counts complete within a few hours of the polls closing.

    30 minutes from poll closing should be the norm. If anything goes wrong it should be handled within the hour. A few hours at absolute worst.

    Mail-in ballots can still come in for up to a week as long as they're postmarked by election night.

    That should be the only exception.

    But let's be real. There is no reason usps can't get those delivered same day as well. Everything is local.

    They will be. They close at 8pm and ballots need to be postmarked by then. It's simply unreasonable to expect them to get them completely counted in a few hours. Mail doesn't work like that and neither does collection sites.
    Now if they went completely digital then sure but who would trust that?

    They should only be counting election day votes on election day. Everything else should already be counted. I'd actually be fine if mail in ballots had to be postmarked a day earlier.

    So are we using the project 2025 agenda as our doomsday bingo cards?

    I'm just trying to wait this out for another 4 years and hopefully Dems will get their shit together and get behind a platform for the people instead of for the billionaires and special interests.

    Nothing we can do about project 2025 now. It'll happen or it won't.

    Just remember the promises he made-
    He will stop taxes on tips
    He will stop taxes on OT
    He will stop taxes on SS
    He will pay for all of that with Tariffs
    He will kick 20 million immigrants out of the country
    He will stop the war in Ukraine
    He will stop the war in Gaza/Isreal
    He will reduce the cost of Gas
    He will reduce the prices of groceries
    Pretty big list.
