Nov 2023 Mod notice:
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.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
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.

She doesn't need to flip Arizona, Nevada alongside the remaining rust belt will do it.
The NC results are enough to make the difference but they'd have to go largely for Clinton and they're early voting results.

THAT SAID, this is not over yet.

My family unfortunately can't even move to Canada because my brother is attending american college. My mom and dad are trying to re-assure me that it won't affect us, but I'm queer, so it will affect me.
Hello! My Name Is Inigo Montoya. I made the Mimic. It was difficult to put the pieces together.As a serious note: immigrating to Canada is not easy. Unless you have a job offer here or are marrying a Canadian citizen, its really fucking difficult if you aren't a refugee (and running from Trump probably doesn't count, though I'll hold off on his LGBT policies at least) or young and well educated.
Running north might not be a realistic option...
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.The interesting thing is that multiple Trump supporters that I know in person unanimously say that it's not Trump who deserves power, but it's the government who deserves someone like him.

cnn is giving clinton washington which is encouraging. Still terrible but like transformers 3 bad not transformers 2.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?Funny thing is, im not blaming racism here but as other said, the public being so fucking caught in the "Trump is just a one person against the mighty and evil goverment" I have seen that damn lie repeat it too many times for my liking.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

How wide is the gap in NC? Is it enough for the remaining uncounted Democratic voters to surmount?
