That's what I'm talking about!
Thanks, you rock
Thanks! I just want to point out that some of the links may have changed, especially the YouTube links. So just as a reference, just go to the channel and search for the live feed of the election coverage.
I'm not. I've checked the results a couple times online, but I see no sense in watching coverage. We'll know the outcome when it's over and not a moment before.
Yeah, it's not a football game. It's "It could go either way" until it goes one way and stays there. That's when it matters.
That sounds kind of like a football game...
I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.
I'm smoking weed, and drinking.. weed.
No weed injection ¿
Nah, that sounds scary.
I'll be watching V for Vendetta instead.
why would I watch
I'm actively trying to avoid it, but even in The Netherlands it's hard to avoid the talk of the town.
I think I'll hide in bed until it's over.
I have vague plans to goon for 16 hours
Same thing we do every night pinky.
Try to goonover the world
I lost my edge streak
NARF!
Real..
Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.
Thank you for this. I'm signing off for today, I'm sure I'll find the results out eventually
I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy
yea, I'm on this train.
The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.
I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.
My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)
Here's hoping you're still a human being tomorrow night. Cheers.
From the safety of my bunker.
Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I'll check our national broadcaster's website, if not I'll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something
Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.
I get my news from Youtube/Lemmy, other than that it will be on every tv station here in Germany.
I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot
From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol
The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...
Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y'all serving alcohol... might be very lucrative.
I get off early, so I'm going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.
Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.
Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.
There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.
Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.
Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.
Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/
Owned by Axel Springer... No thanks. Reuters has a map too if that's important to you. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elections/
NPR as well. https://apps.npr.org/2024-election-results/
The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.
