I had blocked everything and then I looked. I don’t know what to do now. Do I keep looking? Do I stop looking? Do I assume the outcome I do not want so I can go to bed and wake up and be either unsurprised or pleasantly surprised?

For me, in 2016 waking up to that unpleasant surprise was…the worst. I feel like this time I want to have as good an idea as possible before I fall asleep, whether it’s the result I want or not.

I am also trying to decide whether to keep hitting refresh on the NYT page or just bag it and watch old episodes of Criminal Minds. At least with the latter I know the good guys win.

I had a friend reassuring me for hours in 2016 “Trump’s not gonna win.” She was very confident. Wellllp.

In 2016 I thought the chances of Trump winning were about as much as Kanye winning this year. How wrong was I.

You’re not going to wake up to any info anyway. We aren’t gonna know tonight. Just go to bed or watch some stupid internet videos

Doomscrolling. I like it.
I’ve got CNN, Fox News, and 538 open.
I’m enjoying 538’s sudden scramble.

I woke up at 3:00 am and made the error of checking. Now I’m wide awake. In 2016 I was so confident Clinton would win that I didn’t bother and woke up to my husband scrolling through and unable to believe it. I told myself he would win again but never really believed it in my heart. I should have kept away from the internet.

Collins is just fuckin’ smoking Gideon, in the ME senate race. Granted, only 12% of the votes have been counted, thanks to the ranked choice voting. But hotdamn.

I saw a map today and learned that minnesota and wisconsin are sideways neighbours not up and down neighbours. I may never have learned this without 2020

It’s kinda like a side-hug neighbor. Just one who is mid-jump.

Late responding, but I want to note that my polling place is a church.
ETA: now I’ve finished the thread I see I’m not the only one.
