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.

My musician pageIf this is Termina then the moon already crashed four years ago. The window of opportunity to thwart it has been long closed and we've been living in the smoldering wreckage. Only place we can go now is forward to fix this mess.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.The votes might take a little bit longer than that to count though...
That said, stay away from the MAGA-cultists until the election has been decided.
They are going to go completely unhinged from tomorrow and onward once their "chosen one" declares victory for himself with zero credibility or proof of it regardless of the outcome, and his cult will eat it like they have eaten the rest of his burnt steaks for these last four years...
I so hope the nightmare ends as soon as possible...
I don't think I'll feel relieved until either one or two swing-states are called for him or he reaches 270.
I've been praying everyday since the convention.
I feel like Samantha Power, our former ambassador to the UN under Obama, when she was a kid praying for the Pirates to win the 1979 World Series. Her prayers involved reminding God about all the good community work the Pirates did for the needy, promising to be nice to her little brother, and ending her prayers by singing the Irish National Anthem.
You're saying as if the MAG Ats/Qultists/right wing nutjobs can even rub someone off the right way in the first place...
If praying helps you cope, go nuts, but we'd better hope God/Allah/Buddha/Eris/Zeus/whoever doesn't act on weight of opinion given how many fundies are on the Right.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I'm surprised more people aren't talking about Ohio, since it has almost as many electoral votes as Pennsylvania, plus it gives Biden better odds than Texas, and supposedly no Republican has ever won election without carrying it. Do we know of any major voter suppression measures going on there?
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!I’m going to count ![]()
as a point in favor of the name “Karen” not actually being the best for the archetype.

Do you wish to rewind time?
