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.

Inter arma enim silent legesfor those who didn't follow 08 and 12, both elections were over like an hour ago. Obama did his speech before 12:30. That it hasn't been called yet is insane.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?The only light I can see is that no horrible regime lasts for an eternity.
It's a very cold comfort though because the harm done until it ends might well be immense.
Giving up is the worst thing you can do, whether Trump wins or not.
Continue writing our story of peace.I'm about 85% sure that the main reason Trump is doing this well is that he was on TV so much with The Apprentice. I honestly think a decisive number of votes for him in key swing states will have come from people who went to the polls thinking "I know he was on TV, and I've not heard of this Hillary Clinton."
Well, not 85% - let's be real. 50%.
Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.Please be safe. I'm worried some tropers may pass Despair Event Horizon .
Continue writing our story of peace.

I more or less had already accepted that so I'm just numb.
I'm probably going to bed soon. I guess in a fucked up way it's a good thing I'm unemployed so I can sleep in a little bit, I wish I had some melatonin to help me get through the night.
