The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

We should all be thankful for Fox News. As far as I can tell, they are being very reasonable as it relates to projecting certain states for one candidate or another. If Fox was jumping the gun and declaring certain states for Trump well before certain votes were counted, things would be a lot more contentious right now.

And I think a huge part of the problem is that people who haven’t understood what’s going on conjure up that image. If I assumed all the antifa violence represented all left-leaning thinkers, would I be missing a huge part of the picture, and be rendering myself incapable of dialoging with those individuals?

If you are assuming that all the actions presented as "antifa violence" is done by antifa, you are indeed missing a big part of the picture. Among people with identified affiliations, right-wingers commit double the "antifa violence" that left-wingers do.

You didn’t answer my question as to whether you’d find that reasonable if the roles were reversed. I’d imagine many people would be saying things like “unprecedented,” “dangerous,” “threat to democracy,” etc.

Wow, you've got a great imagination. I would say you should write fiction, but you already are.

I should be thankful that they’re being responsible about doing their job?

That's always been a problem at Fox News - on election day they rely on data from their own pollsters. Their pollsters and their media personalities are often not on the same page. That's because their pollsters use actual methodologies to generate data while their media personalities just make **** up.

Case in point in 2012 when the Fox pollsters were calling it for Obama and Karl Rove was having an on-air meltdown.

Wut?

I think infection drank the Political Jazz Fan conspiracy theory kool-aid last night.

For months we have known that mail-in ballots were going to take a bit longer to count and that they are expected to be blue

Well that was a roller coaster last night.

Yeah, Wisconsin is doneski and I don't see how Trump catches up in Michigan or Nevada.

I would suggest to everyone enjoy your lunches because the Trump **** show is going to come out of gates blazing sometime this afternoon.
