idk i just can't see the blue shift being as pronounced this cycle as it was in 2020. They didn't have the infrastructure as solid back then and as a result there were a ton of late ballots which intensified the effect, and the pandemic was in full swing, which exacerbated it further. We may strictly speaking have more advance ballots this year, but I cannot see it having anywhere near the same effect over time. there might be some shift, maybe even a recount, but i doubt there'll be a flight of swing state reversals on days 2 and 3 like we saw in '20.

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

i think we should be honest & realistic & acknowledge that 'palestine sunk harris' is pure cope. i understand that it is comforting to imagine that passionate support for genocide is unpopular with the usamerican electorate but the actual facts don't beat that out. what sunk harris was a shit campaign run by the same morons who tried to keep biden in as the candidate

Healthcare in the United States is cool because they can find a cure for a terminal illness you have and then price it in such a way that the fear of ever losing access begins to override the joy you *should* feel about not having to die young

Sometimes I play a little guessing game with someone where I ask them what they think it’d cost to buy the medicine that keeps me alive if I didn’t have insurance. Sometimes I provide the additional context that the cost of manufacture is 5-6 thousand per year, but is priced much higher than that. No one has ever guessed a high enough number

Hey as long as I'm up, here's a sneak peak of the discourse tomorrow:

The Dems ran a bad campaign and should've catered to me and the five members of my discord vs you dipshits, how dare you and the five members of your discord not save us

Jesus Christ we aren't all going to die immediately vs how dare you care about your own safety when a genocide is going on

Trump is going to launch a second coup vs no way, he's a big faker, just like the other times he launched a coup

You fuckers view everything through fandom, including politics vs you assholes view everything through politics, including fandom

The Dems losing mean they're going to move Right because they're stupid and The Dems should've moved left to capture out votes vs anyone able to notice a contradiction

Fuck you guys for voting, The Dems winning mean they're never going to listen to progressives again vs (see above)

This is one of the funniest things I've found on tumblr and I've seen some shit

The demonization of actual charities/orgs in favor of individual GFMs has done nothing but stripped marginalized people of their privacy + dignity by forcing them to become internet celebrities in order to get their needs met as opposed to an org that could privately help them if said org had the funding!!!! Also it’s why people feel the need to go as far as to fake their own kidnappings just to get traction! Not to mention it’s just made the lives of grifters so much easier

Here's a guide on how to follow along the election results and what to keep in mind:

Have as many sites and channels open as you can on as many screens as possible.

Anecdotes are more real than data.

Believe EVERY number you see AS SOON as you see it.

Vibes are all that matters. Your heart rings truer than any poll.

It's ok to get emotional. Today is a great drama, and you, as a voter, are one of the stars—the main star.

Post as much as possible. Hear America sing, and join the chorus.

trump is going to declare himself the winner no matter what, and republicans have been stuffing the certification boards in swing states with election truthers. i haven't heard the democratic party plan for dealing with this

[swordandscytheandpen]

Looking rough for both of them thus far
