That's the last year I'm enabling that. That was a dreadful experience.
Got a tip for us?

I thought it was awesome! I didn't like the results but am taking a deep breath and a wait and see attitude.
yeah the math ain't mathing. there was way more enthusiasm for Harris than there was for Biden
... in our online echo chamber. Basically she was seen as an extension of Biden and the other side's messaging was "Biden made eggs cost more."
Gonna be a crappy 4+ years.
It's no longer tied on the app, you know. Might want to make the screenshot accurate 
Adorable.
I found it refreshing not having to listen to talking heads and instead just getting the numbers as they were coming in.
It's bad to run the same scam twice in a row. They assumed their lawfare would work, when it didn't they banked everything on tweedle-splat and tweedle-dumb.
The feature was really well implemented - I was surprised to see headlines on the live activity too. Only complaint I had was ghost buzzing on the watch.
I do wish it would have stayed active until the results were complete, and even until the next morning. Disappeared about 1 AM EST for me. Then I had to start opening (disorganized) news apps for updates.
My deepest condolences for the outcome of the election...
We should implement a negative vote our elections. If enough people use the negative votes on both the D's and R's, we would finally have a viable 3rd party option.
I voted Bernie Sanders even though he isn't on the ballot.🤨

Valley is coming back to its logical sense. Finally! No more fake political correctness and divisiveness. Let’s all move forward to more free speech with real respect and all opinions heard without labelling and hate.
what you are talking about is rank-choice voting. Missouri just voted to ban it. so don't expect it anytime soon. we might have had our last presidential election anyway.
No. An actual negative vote, one that negates a vote casted for that candidate. What we have now, if you hate both candidate, you vote for the one you hate less (or throw your vote away on a 3rd Party). The negative vote you get to voice you displeasure with a particular candidate in a meaningful way.
oh i get ya.
Preferably, I'd like a rank choice system; it would get rid of the whole tedious primary system for one, plus we need to box in what a campaign is. this thing where a re-election campaign happens as soon as they step in needs to end. I'd limit the time frame of campaigns as well as how much is allowed to be spent. "you are allowed 100 million, see what you can do with it."
but as we just saw, campaigns and rallies don't matter.
but to get back into rank choice, I'd extend it to the House and Senate as well. Drive everything away from 2 sided conversation as pretty much everything is so much more nuanced. What also would be nice is if policy was also user-driven, like product design. run surveys, test ideas at a small scale, and then roll them out.
The US voters have solidly rejected ranked choice voting propositions this year:

Makes you wonder if 2020 was legit.
Elon Musk is one smart very "techie" dude, No?
The propositions are always sleazily written. like in Missouri, they tacked on "noncitizens to vote" yet that was already a thing, and are required to show your ID (voter ID or photo) so they trick the uninformed that don't fully read it.
Trump and Harriss differ on social issues, but on economic issues, they both are mostly the same, especially in the sense that they would allow morbidly rich greedy corporate exectutives (like Tim Cook) to get even richer by supporting policies aimed to transfer wealth from the bottom to the top, and to exploit the working class, and supporting the interests of Wall Street over the interests of ordinary people.
