The only message that matters right now.

I'm not American and I cannot vote for an American President. If you're American and have not yet voted, please do so as soon as possible. If you have voted, thank you for your service 🫡

And then worry.

Non-American, though (rightfully) heavily invested in this election.

Since I’m an otherwise powerless observer, we took our family to Tokyo Disneyland to help and distract us until the results are in.

Really feels like a surreal Last Supper moment, NGL.

That's going to be a long trip, results probably won't be fully tallied for a week at best.

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

It’s a week in Japan in total, then a couple more weeks travelling Asia. Trying to cram in as many distractions as possible

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

There's a good chance it will be called tonight. It's the official tallies they're preparing people to wait for since that's the "delay" Trump tried to abuse in 2020.

Do you know what day it is?

Remember, remember this 5th of November, The Jan 6 treason and plot. I know of no reason the Jan 6 treason, Should ever be forgot.

Yeah— I’m going to curl up and watch V for Vendetta..

Watch MSNBC, take a drink every time they throw to Steve Kornacki.

Wake up from your coma in 2025. ;)

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I love you and I hate you. How dare you tell the world what I'm doing!

[-] Mercuri@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this to all blow over

As you watch the results remember the "red mirage" - a well known phenomenon where Republican candidates take an early lead because Republican votes get reported early. This is simply because Republicans tend to live in smaller towns and low-population areas, which finish their vote counting sooner because there are fewer ballots. Democrats tend to live in denser urban areas that take longer to count, so their votes show up later; this is known as the "blue shift".

You can see the red mirage happening right now... 45 minutes ago Trump had 23 electoral votes and Harris 7. Now it's Trump 95 Harris 35. This should even out as the counts from the cities start to roll in.

Trump is planning to declare victory early in the night before the blue shift occurs, so his followers can turn off the TV and go to bed happy. Then when the final count shows Harris on top they will "know" the election was stolen because in their minds they "saw" him win.

Third button: weed or alcohol so you don't have to think about anything for a couple days!

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

The election day ground game is crucial! Don't waste your time just worrying. If you're in the US, look here: https://events.democrats.org/ It's not too late!

We’re on a Disney movie marathon. First was The Great Mouse Detective and we just finished The Sword in the Stone. What should we watch next?

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Robin hood, then emperor's new groove

[-] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Not a movie, but X-Men 97.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

this election is not good for our health

I'm fortunate that I'm out of town on a work trip so I won't have the energy to worry.

I feel bad for my wife who is at home deep in the red.

[-] rhacer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Or, as it is the Fifth of November, watch V for Vendetta.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Then bomb Congress!

No wait.

I need 3 Grand Slam Chili Stampedes - one with extra onions, one with extra chili and extra onions, and one with extra chili and extra extra onions.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

We only get to see John King slowly get drunk on live TV once every few years.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Check in every hour for 10 minutes. Check out doing something else. It's the only way I can get through election day anymore.
