Well, I just woke up. Unlike November 9, 2016, I'm not physically shaking.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Unlike that morning, it sounds like we still have an okay chance to pull this out.

I’m not having a panic attack. But I don’t feel happy, either.

I just feel tired. Tired and a bit deflated.

Well, let’s keep fighting. Because there is no alternative.

[pfitz59]

1. Too many of our countrymen endorsed the madman in office

The nation is filled with monsters

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. That's what makes me so sick.

[Blue_playwright]

26. HOW can any good person vote for that man?

I just don’t get it.

[PatSeg]

28. Yes

That is what has me down the most, how many people still voted for him after the last four years. It wasn't just the crazies with guns in the flag draped pickup trucks, it was also seemingly ordinary people.

I was expecting this election to be a repudiation of the monster in the White House. I think Trump was expecting a huge, decisive defeat as well. He's like the monster in the horror film who just won't die. He keeps coming back to life.

[benld74]

31. Plenty of people are 'one' issue individuals

[PatSeg]

33. Yes, I suppose

and a lot of people vote republican no matter who it is.

[Bettie]

35. It almost makes me question my lack of belief in a god

because he sure feels like the Anti-Christ of their stories.

It also reminds me that religion is possibly the most toxic and corrosive aspect of human society.

[BusyBeingBest]

2. Democrats need to treat any victory, no matter how unresounding or narrow, the way Repubs do--

act like they won the universe, strut around, pretend they have a huge mandate to do whatever they want.

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Exactly!!

[Bettie]

36. Yes they do

state boldly that they can do whatever they want to.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Joe is winning!

Now is not the time to be sad! There are tens of millions of votes still being counted and in 12 hours this race is going to look a lot different.

[uponit7771]

5. We need the senate, ... we need senate and White House because Moscow Mitch would have no problem

... gimping Biden

[Nexus2]

20. That is what weighing on my mind. Biden will be swimming upstream for his entire term with Mitch

in place.

[joshcryer]

6. I haven't slept yet. But this time yesterday I was deeply gone.

It was as if I had lost a loved one. I was completely devastated.

[jg10003]

30. we have lost a loved one - democracy

[handmade34]

8. tired

oh so tired

[bdamomma]

9. Deflated

is right, but we have many votes to count.

Joe still has a chance. No winner has been declared even if that POS wants to stop counting votes.

[Vinca]

10. I've got a lump in my throat and I don't know whether to cry or scream.

Something is stinky about this. Yesterday, when asked if he would be giving a victory speech, Trump calmly said there was no need to play games. There's something going on we don't know about. All polls can't be this wrong.

[llmart]

12. +1000

[58Sunliner]

32. Why would Vlad bother hacking voting machines?

From a man who has his critics brutally murdered and has corrupted his country's election. 2018 would have to be an anomaly.

[Illumination]

11. My sentiments exactly also. We must remain optimistic!...I'm going shopping!...

[2naSalit]

13. I am absolutely ill...

I will need to find a new state to live in... Montana is about to become a wasteland with Gianforte and Daines, I can't bear to watch after all I invested in keeping our public lands here in public hands. I just have to figure out where I can move to and then do so.

I am so depressed right now, I have no words to describe it. I love it here but I can't fight against this shit anymore.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Come help us in Maine's second district!

[2naSalit]

18. Funny you should mention that...

I lived in Maine as a kid and have been wondering if I should move back there at times. I am seriously rethinking my options at this moment. I will need to be in the mountains most likely.

I am just so heartsick right now, I don't know if I can even make coffee which I really need right now.

[58Sunliner]

34. RVA area is decent. I like it here.

[2naSalit]

39. I'm sorry...

RVA =

[58Sunliner]

41. Sorry-Richmond, Va.

[2naSalit]

42. Thanks.

If I go that far east, I would prefer New England.

[TNNurse]

16. Not one state or local person I voted for won...

again. Consider me officially feeling unattached to our government.

[Diraven]

29. Me neither

Because I'm from Arkansas

[2naSalit]

40. Same in Montana...

Seriously thinking I'll be relocating next spring when my lease is up. Always happens, just when I think I am finally in a good place where I can stay a long time, something like this happens and it quickly becomes unacceptable.

[oldsoftie]

17. Me neither. Going to work as I normally would. Its not over & life goes on!

[Todd79]

19. What did you expect?

We knew we were subject to a red mirage. Biden is going to win.

The bottom line is that we live in a country where a sizable minority of voters believe JFK Jr is still alive and secretly helping Donald Trump defeat Democrat blood drinking pedo cannibals who hide children in the basement of the Alamo. An even larger minority know that 240000 are dead on 45s watch but don’t care because stock markets.

Did you think this shit would just disappear? The bottom line is that Biden isn’t going to get a landslide, but it’s likely we get a decent win in the EC and the popular vote.

[grantcart]

21. Biden likely to win but the senate is lost for 2 years

No new green deal

No stimulus

No solution on ACA which might cease to exist.

Senate chairs will start investigations on how much toilet paper the Biden WH uses.

Not trying to be a downer but it is not a great result

[wildman76]

22. Me too 😮

[BlueNProud]

23. I feel much worse than 2016

Biden may still win but I'm not optimistic.

What makes it worse is that so many people want 4 more years this.

[jayschool2013]

24. Not shaking either

but Googling "Residency in (foreign country name)" quite a bit.

[peacebuzzard]

25. sipping my first cup of coffee, relieved we are still alive.

unlike 2016. We are going to pull this off.

PS. just waking up, Is it really 8:39? my watch is off or is DU time off?

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Are the bars open yet? Asking for a friend..

[Saboburns]

37. You would have been at 4:00 this morning

When we were down 700,000 in PA, 350,000 in MI, and 250,000 in WI.

It was By-God grim right about then.

[Ferrets are Cool]

38. I am nervous. I have anxiety. But, I am hopeful. I am furious

that so many "fellow" Americans HATE liberals with such vehemence. It sickens me that all they vote for is the R behind a persons name. I do not know what we do to change that. Kumbaya isn't gonna cut it.
