Are we having an election watch party like last time?

[Grudge]

In 2021 we got together on a discord channel for this. There were some audio issues but we made it work. What's the plan this time?

[Mesarthim]

I early voted yesterday

[jawn galliano]

i'll hop on if other folks are game. i will probably be getting drunk

[Noyka]

Im avoiding politics until the 6th

[User]

yes i will do it, i have to install discord on this laptop

[Verbal]

i'll hop on if other folks are game. i will probably be getting drunk

youll need my bank details

[User]

what is the exact start time and time zone and which broadcasts are the best to consume

[jawn galliano]

i'll hop on if other folks are game. i will probably be getting drunk

[zim]

i think polls end at midnight? https://everytimezone.com/s/0ddef134

[Ninny]

I like the rock paper scissors solution for Israel and Palestine

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

i think polls end at midnight? https://everytimezone.com/s/0ddef134

It depends on the state. Anywhere between 7-9 EST for the most part though.

[Ninny]

[jawn galliano]

i don't know what the start time is but i will probably be around after 730-8est

[Noyka]

Some states did not finish at midnight and took several days in 2020 there is soeculation key states like Pennsylvania could do this again

[jawn galliano]

i will be genuinely shocked if there's a definitive and accepted result by bedtime on tuesday. i will be very unsurprised if it takes weeks to months to sort out who actually won

[Noyka]

Yeah i think there will be a lot of litigation from both sides regardless so it will def be dragged out big time

[Verbal]

kamala will win

[User]

so let's say 8 p.m. EST Tuesday?

[jawn galliano]

i shall be there or kindly be square

[Grudge]

I already voted early, for Green just for the anti-war stance.

[jawn galliano]

honestly i forgot the greens existed. maybe i will throw them one if they're on the ballot here, my only intention is to vote on the state ballot initiatives though

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

My state is pretty sold on blue when it comes to the electoral college. The last time it went red was back to back for Reagan and Bush Sr. Even before that you'd have to go back to Eisenhower for another red electoral college result for Maryland.

[Noyka]

I voted I had a mixed ballot per usual.

My state had some props that were important to vote for and against as well cali always loves to word spending props confusingly to throw folks off.

[User]

i look forward to election watch partying

[shadowalk]

[User]

less than 24 hours until the ultra-hyped election watch party

[Grudge]

Where that group zoom call at?

[jawn galliano]

the MABB discord channel of course

[Grudge]

I deleted discord due to lack of use since 2021 when we used it for the previous elections

[jawn galliano]

well your account is still a member of the server so all you gotta do is reinstall the app

[Verbal]

kamala will definitely win

[Verbal]

i think it wont even be that close

[jawn galliano]

i didn't vote for her so she's definitely going to lose. time to pay up, pal

[User]

i will be downloading discord and joining this here thing in one hour from now

[jawn galliano]

i will be cracking some tunes for the next hour and at that time i will blast a beer and join the chat also

[User]

we had a good watch party but imran kept getting phone calls from his new lady

[jawn galliano]

kamala will definitely win

well well well

[jawn galliano]

anyway good watch party sorry i got wasted and kept shouting over everyone

[Grudge]

I don't recall you shouting over anyone

[Grudge]

I do think the quality of discussion was very high, so you fuckers that didn't attend missed out

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I thought about but opted to sit and stew in misery alone

[Noyka]

Why stew? Why be miserable? Presidency doesn’t matter nearly as much as some seem to think.

[jawn galliano]

in a vacuum i sort of agree, but a presidency being sockpuppeted by the paypal mafia which coincides with republican-controlled courts and a republican legislature is uhh, pretty fuckin' bleak. not gonna lie, i'm feeling the despair today

[Noyka]

SCOTUS is the one thing that really matters on a federal level. Presidents matter for immigration policies and tax purposes, a few other various issues.

Most things that folks care about like crime and social issues are primarily state and local based. Most of us don’t pay near enough attention to things like local judge and state/city rep elections. This is the first election I did more local than national research in and it felt like a full time job.

Mostly this. But there's a bunch of other life shit that ain't helping either

[User]

big ass bowel movement to be caught by postwhores
