U.S. Election (Day?) 2024 Megathread

With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.

If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.

If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.

Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

It’s a bad look. At least say something to your supporters. “We’ll get ‘em next time” or whatever. She’s an even worse leader than I thought.

She's probably busy conferring with three letter agencies about what is Plan D.

Nah. If the fix was in, it would have been fixed.

Blackpillers took an L last night.

I'm not saying Harris will somehow still be president. Hillary's Plan B was the Steele Dossier and miring his administration in 4 years of fake investigations and impeachments. I imagine Harris right now is organizing the deep state for 4 years of defense in depth to resist every action of a Trump admin.

Well... she's probably not organizing shit. But she's probably in the room while the adults are talking.

Kamala doesn't have the power over the deep state that Hillary had.

The true black pill is that, somehow, they will claw this back. Court case, rent a mob, assassination attempt number three, something.

When Trump takes office in January, I want a mea culpa from you, too.

I am darkly wondering if the rumors of her drug and alcohol use were true.

Kamala never seemed to have the strength to weather the intense demands of a Presidential campaign (few do). As someone with a minor drinking problem of my own, I can say it must have been pretty tempting to down a bottle of red last night after the blue wall crumbled. It might take awhile to summon the courage to appear in public again.

Umm... You can't get even tipsy on bottle of wine. Source - I am from Eastern Europe.

She probably should have downed a pint or two of bourbon to get wasted.

If you’re female, haven’t eaten, aren’t white, and/or are on SSRI’s, yes you can. And none of those things would surprise me about Harris.

I drink wine extremely frequently, you can absolutely get tipsy on one bottle of wine.

Especially if you are; female, older, petite, lacking in muscle mass, under enormous stress, Asian, and not white. All things which have been shown to lower your base alcohol tolerance. Especially if you drink infrequently and in binges.

I can’t get drunk on a single bottle of wine, but I’m literally the opposite of Kamala Harris; young(ish), fit, muscular, relaxed, male, big, (mostly) European, no Asian admixture, and I drink modestly literally every day.

Harris probably drinks every day

Wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve known a lot of drunks, she’d fit right in.

Still all those other factors would make her alcohol tolerance naturally lower. Even if she was a raging alcoholic she could definitely get a good buzz on a full strength bottle of red wine.
