Trump is pulling away in Ohio.

Holy fuck. I am in absolute shock this is as close as it is.

I still think Clinton will win but this is gonna be a cluster fuck race
 
I'm watching NBC online and I think I need to turn it off. With Fl, Va, Mn, Co, etc all being close its depressing as fuck. I don't see how we stay out of a recession if Trump wins.
 
ok, this thread has officially become pointless. all this hyperbole, this made up panic.

538 and NYtimes still projecting Clinton at 75% to win.

Chill the fuck out people, whenever i refresh the thread, it's 1 page longer, 90% "OMG OMG WTF AMERICA OMG WTF I AM CRYING" ... - and i'm at 100 posts per page ...
 
Yeah I'm going to go play videogames or watch cat videos or something

Can't take this. not my first election but Trump's lead in FL worries me, Ohios flipped, MI is in contention. Jesus
 
Well then the Democrats need to aggressively show that it is mostly white people that benefit from these programs. They may need to emphasize minorities less and focus more on what white voters want. Because Trump did almost literally nothing else but that and he's pretty close to winning.

This election is a bit of an outlier because of how disliked Hillary is. I don't know what message the democrats take from this is they lose (or win) to help in 2020....that is if we survive the violent revolution Trump's presidency brings about.
 
Just remember y'all that if we're going to hell in a hand basket, there's no better person to experience it with than Stephen Colbert and company, so head over to the live show thread at 11 to dissipate some anxiety.
 
I mean, Harper for all his major problems, was no Trump. I'll take Harper over Trump any day.

Harper for us in Canada, is basically a version of Bush Jr. whose worst fault was jaywalking in comparison to the US Bush Jr, and the monster that is Trump.

Canada was the country Obama truly deserved, but not the one he could have legally ran right now
 
I'm now in full panic mode.

This is not my first election
I know how these things go
I really do think he's going to win
I'm sad

More of GAF should accept that their media sources were so far off point when it came to Trump.

If anything goes this illuminates the biases of our major media sources. Glad America gets to witness this.
 
For all the people posting "Christ, is this your first election?!?"

This is not my first election, I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about this election and elections in general, and I'm fucking terrified.
 
This is my first election watching live. At what percentage reported is a state "called"? I don't understand.

These are all projections based on actual data, exit polling data, historical data, statistics, and other data. The true results won't be tabulated and completed until later, but the networks and the AP have been doing this long enough to be good at calling a state for one party or another. That's why Texas, Arkansas, and Nebraska were called so early for instance.

Florida may not be called for a while even though there are more votes in because Florida is always a question mark.
