Bold of you to think it’ll be over tomorrow. If only we could be so lucky. I have a feeling we should brace ourselves for the long haul (months).
You’re not wrong, unfortunately…but I’m still tuning out for today.

What has traditionally happened if a minor party becomes a promiate player one of the mainstream parties adopts its political point of view. You can see that now. The Republican Party has become a populist party, and are absorbing traditional Populist Democrats. It is fascinating to those of us who study US history in detail and are privileged to watch directly a National Correction.We have more than two parties. Green,Librarian and many more. The trouble is the two parties have a stronghold on the political system in the U.S.

I know we have multiple. I see them on the ballot. The issue, I think, is that not enough votes for them because no one has a history of what 3rd parties can do in any type of office. The 3rd parties don't even get on stage on the debates.We have more than two parties. Green,Librarian and many more. The trouble is the two parties have a stronghold on the political system in the U.S.

I used to enjoy following politics until it turn into a nasty version of professional wrestling.No thank you! The goal today is to avoid the news like the plague and pretend the election isn’t even happening.
Me tooI just want the unsolicited, spam texts to stop. I am "swipe left, delete and report junk'ing" in my sleep!
YupWe won’t know who won until later in the week anyways.
Yes, 110% yesBy the way, I have a question for all the USA citizens here on MR: Would you like it to be more than two alternatives to vote for?
Oh, I sure hope notExcept tomorrow will bring, “The world is going to end, WWIII will start, and we’re all screwed” no matter which party wins.
lmaoo I thought the same but hey 10+ comments in and they’re pretty civil so far!
I also just got this notification from Apple News and said NOPE
To each their ownI used to enjoy following politics until it turn into a nasty version of professional wrestling.
Well, to my knowledge, there is one thing that could last from our civilization and expand over the universe: AI.
If the current AI race continues, and we develop super intelligence able to develop even more intelligent machines/beings, they will probably be able to leave this planet and expand beyond the limits of our system, galaxy, or even cluster.
Time is not a problem for AI, as it doesn’t age. The silicon components may, but I’m sure super intelligent AIs will find a way to build and maintain servers for millennia, unlike us that build a machine expecting it to break after a few years to incentivize consumption.
My thoughts verbatim. It’s just too cool not to have.Ugh this is really not what I need but --- yeah I'll do it. I have some ambien, I'll still sleep tonight at least for a few hours.
Helpful for those who will use this but I’ll be busy doing anything other than following the election. I already voted and my following the election won't change anything. That means I will ignore it from here on out. I might as well do something more productive — like stare at a blank wall, or play a game, or go for a walk.
What time do the updates start tonight?

Well… you are doing a bad job since you are posting a comment in an election-related tech news article. 😂No thank you! The goal today is to avoid the news like the plague and pretend the election isn’t even happening.
The basics are that you would vote for candiates in a ranked order. Vote for A as a first choice and B as a second choice and C as a third. If any one wins 50+% they win. If it's 40-40-20 then C is knocked out and C's votes go to the second choice.What's ranked voting?
We need to retire the EC. It's been manipulated past it's usefulness, and the fact we constantly have a handful of swing states that decide the election because of the EC, is proof it's not working. Popular vote. 1 person, 1 vote, then count them. The candidate with the most, wins.
Would that not mess up your phone settings? …. Like your calendar and stuff??
That’s only true in a normal situation with two normal rational candidates with opposing views to fix real societal problems.This feels like the Alien vs. Predator movie poster: "Whoever wins... we lose."
If you listen to the left, voting right will end the world.

They both have good and bad, it depends what you're looking at.
