- QUICK! Can anyone here (that's not colin or maybe RC) name the Democratic incumbent Senator from NM that Nella Domenica is running against? -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 09:45 2
  - Is that Heinrich? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 10:14 1
    - It is! -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 10:32
Trump goes off on Fox, complains they've had Oprah on too much. -- (link) - ty97 Nov 5, 09:40 13
- Prediction if he loses: he blames Fox and GOP, announces new MAGA party with RFK, threatens to siphon votes from GOP nominees or side with him -- nm - Max Nov 5, 10:12 6
  - too much work. his M.O. is to slap his name on an existing thing and bleed it dry. he'll just keep shilling gold sneakers and bibles from china -- nm - mr mooch Nov 5, 10:29 1

Which makes the original boycott all the more impotent -- (link) - JD Nov 5, 08:14 [Backboard] 5

And on top of everything else, the Portland City Council election could go sideways. - ReluctantCynic Nov 5, 08:09 4
- Do they not limit the number of candidates, even with ranked choice? -- nm - colin Nov 5, 09:05 3
  - Nope. Hopefully, they will fix that in the future. Somehow maybe. - ReluctantCynic Nov 5, 09:12 2
    - Friend there works as a ranked choice actavist. I can ask him what's the fix. -- nm - colin Nov 5, 09:25
    - Don't they usually make it so you need to get a large number of signatures to qualify which usually knocks out the cooky people that want to run? -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 09:20
I just did a short shift at the machine. A bunch of young dudes came in while I was there. I wasn't snooping exactly but I saw most of their ballots - amanda Nov 5, 08:08 1

- 6:30 pacific I'll probably be sitting with mom at the nursing home. At home I hope to be opening a bottle of champagne hidden in the back of the refer - zeitgeist Nov 5, 09:20
- Haven't decided my strategy for tonight. I might go see Conclave or I might obsessively watch election coverage or something in between. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 08:52 7
  - Of course, I could go see a movie and there will likely still be plenty of election stuff to obsess about when I get back. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 08:56 6
    - This is what I don't understand. You are a white man in America. You literally won at life. Why don't you just duck and cover for the next 24. - con_carne Nov 5, 09:09 5
      - I'm gay so does that mean I get to have some level of concern? -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 09:41
