    I’m not watching. What’s the point of being manipulated and made to feel like we care about who wins? What previous president made things better instead of worse?

    It’s like peasants cheering for either a turd or an asshole, both of which have much more in common with eachother than us. Great choices.

    They are professional politicians with loads of money and influence, and an entire pr staff to write stories about them and make them appear a certain way to the public.

    There’s a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it’ll be packed.

    Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

    Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

    Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

      Thank you for this. I’m signing off for today, I’m sure I’ll find the results out eventually

    The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

    I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

    My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

    Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I’ll check our national broadcaster’s website, if not I’ll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something

      Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.
