Post mid-term chaos? Or not.

I figured we should have a thread ready for what may happen on November 9th in case the Dems do better than expected.

Because it will be a sh!tshow.

It's going to be a shitshow regardless of who wins.  

 I am just getting back from AZ...that place is already a shitshow squared.

Well, yeah, shitshow regardless, but a different type, I guess, depending.

The shitshow of Republican rule, or the one of Republicans whining and throwing tantrums. With optional hammers.

And what the hell happened to AZ anyway? Never saw a state go nutters so fast.

Same thing that's happening faster or slower in the rest of the country -- elections used to be all about white people, and all of a sudden that's no longer guaranteed and a lot of the white people are flipping out.

In AZ for the Orionids?

I totally didn't think about that.  Ugh.  

How have I reached my decrepit age and not heard of the Orionids?

Someone should call Agent 99.

You weren't in the Astronomy Club at CHS.

True, but on the other hand I knew who Tycho Brahe was by third grade.

Brahe's model of the solar system was discredited so quickly it would make your asteroid belt spin.

It's tough when you're a ground breaker.

Anyway, that's not his legacy.

We're as off trajectory in this topic as a comet is in its orbit.

Tomorrow is the big day.

Please God - make Keri Lake lose.

And Ron Johnson.

And Oz.

And Herschel.

And...

I’m staying positive. It all comes down to turnout among the young people, and so far I’ve seen some good things about young people in Georgia. It might be too early to start drinking, because tomorrow will be when the madness starts. Hopefully there isn’t any violence. But lawsuits will be filed for sure. Watching the news will only raise your blood pressure, avoid the talking heads. Contrary to the MAGATs among us, this is not a nation of fools.

I don't remember liking this many candidates in other states before. It's a captivating election with real good guys and real bad ones.

Any doubt??? 'Nuff said!

that’s because the republicans have successfully convinced the Cubans and Venezuelans and the others who fled communism, that the democrats are communists. Very effective propaganda. And you seem to have believed it also. 

NJ homeboy Oz will lose.

Is anyone else avoiding watching the election returns?

I'm watching Legally Blonde myself.

Ugh walker up 16,000 - hopefully it goes to a runoff - which is likely 

Boebert may lose!  That’s good!

I think Vance has a decent lead- that’s bad

they just called it for Fetterman!

Just noticed Rob Menendez Jr won.  Had to double check.  

Not sure why they don't call the Arizona senate race for Kelly - looks like a done deal to me.

here's a great thread chronicling the horrendous journalism immediately before the election.

Boebert has 50% of the vote at the moment.

Looks like Pitkin Co. will retire Boebert.  They still have 20% to count and Frisch is beating her 4:1 there.  He should end up winning in a squeaker by a few hundred votes.  If she claims fraud loud enough she can be Donald's running mate.
