    Trump wins and cadres from the Peoples Liberal Democratic Front begin a protracted insurgency against the fascist government. Hexbear is left speechless.

    I’ll make a safe one - regardless of who wins, about 1/6 of the country is going to lose their fucking minds and claim the election was “stolen” or some similar language indicating that the win wasn’t legitimate. If Harris wins it will be “stolen”, if Trump wins they will use a different word because calling an election “stolen” is right wing and thus icky.

    Regardless of who wins, there will be recounts requested in at least two states and lawsuits filed regarding the election in at least one - these numbers will be much higher if Harris wins.

    Put odds of a riot if Trump wins at about 50/50, odds of a riot if Harris wins at about 75%.

          (i actually thought the normal whites thesis would hold over from the midterms, with biden at the helm, and then after oct 7 and as biden looked like a literal marionette with blinken pulling the strings, i thought they’d/he’d let bibi exhaust himself in warcrimes, let bibi hang himself in the court of public opinion, and then tact to a more moderate policy, with a new candidate at the helm, after the stewardship of genocide was complete.

          so i did successfully, if accidently, call biden dropping so that the party could pick his successor while avoiding a primary; i just assumed biden would be a willing participant, and that the adults in the room would have the juice to cow Israel, instead of being totally juiceless, feckless worms.)

      Yeah, but that’s all of them. Israel as our only real ally in the ME gets whatever Israel wants and neither major party is about to change that over a little genocide.

    This race is the most “who fucking knows” since I’ve followed US elections.

    Some things of I think are of note

    • AZ and NV having abortion ballot measures should heavily lean dem (someone else here already mentioned this)
    • NC’s governor ticket will probably drag Republicans down. Mark Robinson was exposed as a serial gooner (pornshop debt) who is a black Nazi that wants slavery to return (this is not a joke). He strikes me as a worse Herschel Walker/Dr Oz type candidate and I think dems pickup NC because of it. The broader Republican party is trying to run away from him because he’s seen as that toxic
    • GA will have the most brazenly corrupt election this side of the century, and that’s saying a lot since their incumbent governor probably stole his own first election already. Their election board will send Trump electors no matter what (unless there is somehow a massive electoral college win for Kamala which I don’t see happening)
    • MI goes for Trump on the Stein 3rd party vote and liberals transition from their current state (going mask off) to gleeful celebration of, like, domestic socdem repression
    • PA I genuinely have no clue. No confidence whatsoever in a call either way
    • Every other state I think is locked in (including WI for dems- this is possibly what I’ll be most gut feeling wrong about)

    Republicans take the Senate

    I think a 269-269 tie is an incredibly possible situation and I think it would fall under funniest timeline theory (for those reading this results in a Trump presidency due to tiebreaker rules favoring him).

      And also in the event of a 269 vote tie dems will deffinitly concede immediatly and claim the moral high ground for the next 4 years, telling all of us they told us they’d lose if we didn’t support them.

      They lost an election to the Republicans, they aren’t expected to do anything, and they can punch left and blame us. That’s literally everything the democratic party cpuld ask for.

    Kamala wins by a landslide, both electorally and popular vote, but then, Trump and the GOP just say “no”, and then a 6-3 Supreme Court decision rules Trump is the winner. The Democrats immediately fold, and then blame the left for them losing. Living in a city is then made a crime punishable by death, and the Democratic Party becomes nonviable.

    If it’s too close, I expect the old “in a 6-3 Supreme Court decision…” and fucking nothing being done about it and a bunch of “resistance” liberals sounding vaguely heroic as federal employees are mass purged in favor of an unvetted flood of flunkies that can scribble “I am loyal to Trump” on a piece of paper and sign it while things burn down a little faster and SNL has a lot of skits about it.

        It takes a certain lofty “cry during live attendance of Broadway productions” level of economic privilege and social prestige, especially now.

        It’s clapter. It’s not really funny even to them but they performatively laugh and clap because it says the things they want to believe, sort of like how Tim Allen is for chuds.

    Someone on here said Kamala will win the popular vote but lose the electoral college so I’m going with that. Oh an one more Trump assassination attempt this time by a white black hebrew israelite mad at Trump because he’s a fake or something (truth be told idk what these guys want or believe).

      That could easily happen if she’s popular in CA by a massive margin but not so popular elsewhere. That’s how it worked for the other times this has happened in recent history - the margin in CA being so large that the national margin is smaller than the CA margin.

      I remember all the online elections threads since 2016. The amount of liberal infighting when things look like they are going south is unbelievable. The second Trump took Florida they were calling for progressive heads in 2020.

      ArrNeoliberal, ArrFiveThirtyEight, and ArrFriendsFromThePod will be absolutely insufferable on election night.

      I’m giving Trump a 70% chance to win. The only solace if Trump wins will be lib tears ngl.

        Considering liberals are openly making death threats for anyone not voting Harris, the safest option may be to vote Trump and take a picture, while registering Democrat.

        That way, you can placate either side that will use public voter roll information to hunt their opposition.

        Oh wait, voting in a specific manner to ensure your continued safety? I guess all that BS about fair socialist elections from liberals was yet another projection.

        In reality I’ll probably go PSL to help them get federal funding, but the game theory is leaning stronger and stronger to the former strategy…

          I will know tomorrow if I get a job overseas. I’m not playing this game anymore. I’m an older one and I don’t have much left in me to deal with this anymore. I feel like I am at the 90 mile marker on a 100 mile run.

  • Relevant update, Sleepy Joe is apparently finally threatening to halt arms shipments… What if the October surprise is just that Biden and Harris were willing to let a genocide go on so they could suddenly kill it to swing the election? Please tell me I’m just being cynical…
