Is anyone optimistic?

[philf99]

I know the presidency is still possible.

But we saw the soul of our nation yesterday and it is very dark.

There wasn’t a repudiation of trumpism in fact there was an approval.

[BusyBeingBest]

1. Yes. I am singularly focused on getting rid of the Orange Ass.

That's all that matters to me right now.

[MaryMagdaline]

2. Yes. Get that mobster out of our house and out of our justice system

Get kids out of cages. They’re not going to care how big our EC victory is.

[Coleman]

3. No

I'm with you on all your points.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Yes

The vote totals aren’t done. Some of these states that look was out of wack from the polls are going to shift a few points and not look so weird.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

5. Your...

words - “There wasn’t a repudiation of trumpism in fact there was an approval.” - describe exactly how I’m feeling about this.

6. Biden? yes, senate? no ... polling America? fuck no

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. A bit more than I was earlier this evening, but

I'm depressed that there are so many people who think a vicious, stupid, racist megalomaniac is an acceptable president.

[Doodley]

8. Yes, we won this.

[Tommymac]

9. Fuck Yeah I'm optimistic.

I knew the country was going to be horrribly divided coming out of this...

but it was horribly divided going into it.

But I KNOW Joe is the first dose of the cure Our Country needs, and is going to get.

Dr. Joe.

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

13. Great example of....

an attitude that I could try to get a little of, thank you!

[Make7]

10. The presidency is still possible? It's a near certainty.

Wisconsin and Michigan are going for Biden based on what areas have votes remaining to be counted. If FoxNews is correct in calling Arizona for Biden, that's 270 Electoral Votes. If they're not, it still looks like Biden will take Georgia - giving him 275.

[Turin_C3PO]

11. Yes.

But at the same time I'm disappointed that we aren't winning in a landslide.

[nolabear]

12. Yes. We're not at the end of creating a better America.

We’re at the beginning. Always. And we’re moving in the right direction.

[Tommymac]

14. You Rock!

[atse]

15. Yes

I'm very optimistic about Biden winning.

But I'm also gutted about the Dems probably losing the Senate, as well as things being way too close in general. Damn!

And this is a census year. A blown chance to improve the maps for the next ten years.

[TEB]

16. For joe absolutely

[Rstrstx]

17. Yes!!

Repubs have been outperforming their polls since 2014 especially east of the Rockies, and I will take a Biden win, however small, which is looking increasingly better after an horribly gloomy Tuesday night. We were well warned about the Red Mirage but were cocky enough to believe Biden would put it away early. Am still concerned but believe Biden will pull off WI and MI, which, coupled with critical wins in AZ and NE-2, gets us to 270 regardless of PA or GA.

Maybe a miracle gets us to 50 in the Senate, Collins is no lock for ME and Ossoff and Biden look to be in the same boat as GA, am not sure what’s going on there, those would give us the net 3 we need to deny Mitch the gavel.

But Senate or not, Biden gets us back in the Paris climate accord, saves Obamacare from further sabotage, reverses the atrocities on the border, keeps DACA alive, reinstates stricter pollution standards, stops any Republican legislation (a blue House after ‘22 is no sure thing), the list is huge.

[Polybius]

18. Nope

I think we lose PA, Michigan, and NC. Wisconsin I’m 50-50 with. GA probably we lose. AZ and NV we win.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. No optimism here, either.

[skip fox]

19. "It's not easy to be an optimist if you have to live in this world,

but nobody ever said that it was supposed to be easy."

[MuseRider]

20. Trying to be

but the moment my husband gets up the "Woe is me" will be long and loud. We are supposed to be looking at a puppy today, not even that will make it better. Jesus I hate elections with him around.

[BlueNProud]

22. Nope

[Mike Niendorff]

23. *raises hand*

Trump is desperate, and has been forced to go full-on authoritarian to try and stop the vote-counting.

This, in the face of an election where Trump rejected literally every effort to secure our voting systems (and yeah, let's look at that).

This is an end-game push by an organized fascist group, and it has still failed.

Forget the drama and the nonsense.

Trump is out.

And if he tries to cheat further, he will need every inch of that White House barricade.

24. I'm still very optimistic

It’s sort of disappointing because our expectation is so high but this is still winnable.
Whenever I play with the interactive EV map I have always given all the toss up states to Trumpy so I can see the worst scenario and here we are, but it’s far from over and we need to fight for every vote until the end. C’mon guys, we can still win this thing!

[sinkingfeeling]

25. No. I truly believe this country is done. I will leave as soon as possible.

I do not want to live here surrounded by half a population in love with fascism.
