There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Call that one a win-win, then?
Although honestly, I can't even quite muster the energy to joke about the possibility at this stage. I'm too frightened to joke properly.
"We'll take the next chance, and the next, until we win, or the chances are spent."Does anyone have a map showing when the polls close in different areas?

Oh God! Natural light!O.K, we're about two days from the election. I'm now going to choose my song to play if Drumpf wins, Clinton wins, or there has to be a recount.
If Clinton wins, this song will be played to mock him and because I'll feel like laughing:

If Drumpf wins, the song above will also be played as a sign of the shit the U.S will be diving straight into and because I'll want something to make me laugh.
If there has to be a recount, I'll play this song because that's exactly how it will feel- stressful as fuck!:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B4drTUy0f4
As it seems to have been buried by the mountain of creepy the last few pages I should reiterate for anyone just joining us: The FBI has cleared clinton. Again.
Fucking comey, a fifteen point fucking drop and the senate is now a toss up. Hope the news gets some loose leftys out who were planning on staying away.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?I'm actually less worried than I was last week when I voted (yeah, got that done, pretty much straight Democratic except I imagine Democrats are more in favor of pot legalization, which I voted against), but still, if Trump does come out on top:
Should that happen, you Yankees cannot claim to be any different from the rest of us Americans from the other nations in the continent.
Convicting an impachment case requires a two-thirds majority in the senate. In history we've had two presidents impeached but no convictions and Nixon only escaped impeachment by resigning. The most the GOP can hope to do is tie Clinton up in hearings and smears, especially if the Dems take the Senate.

CNN interviewed a few election experts, one of who committed to eating a bug if Trump exceeds even 240 electoral votes.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
