Alpha's Election Night Survival Thread/Live Blog. Now with useful tips! Part Deux!

Same great blog, new faster page.

Well, I just went and voted (Stein, couldn't bring myself to break my pledge to not vote for evil, even to stop Clinton.)

Some interesting anecdotes:

My wife went to vote right after she got off work this morning. She arrived about 20 minutes before the Florida polls opened. She reported that there were only about a dozen people in line and by the time she was done voting there was no line whatsoever.

I decided to wait and go closer to peak time (shortly after 5PM when I figured people getting off work would be arriving to vote) and there was zero line. I walked straight up to the person, surrendered my mail in ballot and then got my approval slip to pick up my ballot. (Was excited to see that my #DemExit to the Green party had already been registered!!! Woohoo!!

On my way in and out to the polling station there was a pair of large black signs with bold lettering saying, "No political advertising, signs, or electioneering beyond this point.

Can you guess what was directly in front of all four signs just past shy of the limit?

4 Trump/Pence signs.

Nowhere in the ride towards my polling place (at a church in a rural neighborhood) I saw ZERO Clinton signs.

Not a one.

About 15 Trump signs on the side of the road and on peoples lawns. (I was somewhat happy to see a couple, "VOTE GREEEN!" signs but only a couple.... Upside? That's a couple more than I saw for Clinton.

Ok, Now for the survival part of this guide.

On my way home from the polls I decided I needed to pick up some necessary supplies for the evening and the morrow.

For our first survival item we are featuring our good friend Alcohol. Ahhh, that stalwart companion that has helped me not give a shit about things in the past, if only for a short time, is going to make a strong entrance tonight I think no matter the outcome.

Al Kohaul.jpg

Now, as I was pretty sure that even that wouldn't be enough to quite help us get through the evening I had to break into my emergency supplies and bring out the big guns. (One of which you can see on the right side of the screen in the previous photo, however tonight is already necessitating the bringing out of the big guns...)

Mind Control Device.jpg

However, I fear that even with the above it may not be enough to get the job done so I have the following two items. First, one to pour into my eyes so I don't have to see that smug, arrogant evil smile if she manages to steal pull off a victory.

Hotsauce.jpg

And a couple of these to jam into my ears so I don't ever have to hear her voice again:

Stoppers and pens_1.jpg

(Maybe I can sue the manufacturer for not putting a warning label on those things... But then again, since that's me even if I win I wont get shit, lol!)

Well, I invite you to join me below, share the things you are seeing on the net and in R/L, and tie one on.

First hit is free... Smile

Edited to add this LINK TO PART ONE.

Thanks again to everyone for coming

California will definitely go for Clinton, but I'd wait until they count a few votes in Hawaii before making any predictions there. I fully expect Stein to have her best performance in Hawaii. She may perform well enough to throw the election to Trump.

who said, "...but? Trump!" I told a lot of people Trump will not win CA and we have the opportunity to give the green party 5% from our state's voters alone. 5%, that magic moment when the cover charge is waived and the greens can spend their money on something other than basic access to the ballot.

And I want to give Jill Stein a "Well Done You" for holding the most adult campaign of the entire election.

Trump: I'm not her.
Clinton: I'm not him.
Stein: We're all human and this is what I want to see changed.
Johnson: I'm sorry. I didn't understand the question.

Really dissecting the confluence of money in politics and the role of media in creating Trump because he was "good for business."

Good to hear Cenk, who is a great proponent of getting money out of politics but bought The Fear, was revved up enough to deliver a righteous rant. Seemed more and more he was pissed off at how lame the Clinton campaign truly was and was finding his indignation from when Bernie was ripped off.

Heh--I'm in Florida and so are a couple others--I think it was GulfGal who first noted that if Clinton didn't nail down the I-4 corridor (Daytona Beach/Orlando/Tampa), Trump would take Florida, and I was definitely inclined to agree with her. I'm betting that was the swing area again and it went solid as can be to the red this time. Solid. Scary solid.

Speaking of "red", I read that one of the counties I used to live in (Flagler) voted out every single Democrat in state and local offices. All of them. Gone. I think there are some "non-party affiliated" folks in local offices, but Dems are history.

What I found amazing about Florida is Hillary won all the most populous counties except Pinellas and Duval (Jacksonville). She won Hillsborough, Orange, and Osceola along the I-4 corridor. She also won Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade in the SE, all of which are usually blue counties. In addition she won Alachua (University of Florida) and Leon (FSU and FAMU) in the north along with the most blue county in the state, Gadsden. Trump won all the other counties.

I apologize on behalf of C99P for any inconvenience and I am sure JTC and crew are working on fixing the problem.

In the meantime, all I can say is wow. Just look at this.

Fox just called WI for Trump, and looking at the numbers, opinion of them aside, I gotta say I think they are right.

IF they are right, I think my earlier call will hold and that is the nail in the coffin of the Clinton Candidacy.

Barring any major electoral college chicanery that is.

We do have to remember that they are NOT obligated to vote the way of their state and only face a $1000 fine for doing so.

25.png

But looking at the number Trump is a LOT closer to that magic 270 even with CA already in Hillary's corner.

WI, MN, NV and MI are gonna be the deciding states in this election but PA is still in play too. (However I expect despite Pennsyltucky PA will go Clinton.)

I've been watching CBS for election results and they just showed video of the people in Clinton campaign headquarters. No one speaking a word, heads hanging down and people wiping tears from their eyes. They looked like they just watched a plane crash that had their entire families on board. And I'm laughing my ass off! They are simply stunned!!

I've been using Fox News page for the internet results and they currently have it 209 Clinton, 254 Trump after calling Wisconsin and Georgia for Trump. He only needs 16 more and 11 of those will come from Arizona. Just about any other state and he wins the election!! I'm calling it for Trump. It's over!!! You can stick a fork in her. But use a very long fork. It's going to be messy!!!

Makes me so mad, but I too may be going to hell for watching CNN and the Guardian with pix of Dems crying and laughing away. I'm worried to see Rump win, I admit, but I'm not panicked and this isn't our fault. WE TOLD THEM! They blew us off and showed us nothing but contempt. This may be the revenge of the Bags I've always thought would happen. They'll blame the brown people, but they also know it isn't only the brown people. Some do. F*ck OBama for trying to shove her down our throats. And now maybe they let that market crash happen, perfect excuse for it when its been coming anyway.

He predicted a Trump win 7 weeks ago. He doesn't rely on polls, this is from an interview with him:

LICHTMAN: "The Keys to the White House" is a historically based prediction system. I derived the system by looking at every American presidential election from 1860 to 1980, and have since used the system to correctly predict the outcomes of all eight American presidential elections from 1984 to 2012.

interviewed barely a week ago (on XM Radio), saying that he was standing by his prediction.

Here's a piece about his methodology.

The Fix
Professor who’s predicted 30 years of presidential elections correctly is doubling down on a Trump win

By Peter W. Stevenson October 28

Last month, the man who's tried to turn vote prediction into a science predicted a Trump win.

Allan J. Lichtman, distinguished professor of history at American University, said Democrats would not be able to hold on to the White House. . . .

So plenty has changed. But one thing hasn't: Lichtman, author of “Predicting the Next President: The Keys to the White House 2016,” is sticking with his prediction of a Trump victory.

If you aren't familiar with his somewhat unique prediction system, here are the basics:

The keys to the White House, he says, are a set of 13 true/false statements. If six of them are false, the incumbent party loses the presidency.

His system has correctly predicted the winner of the popular vote in every U.S. presidential election since 1984. Our first interview went into the keys more in-depth, and in September he said the keys were settled enough to make an official prediction of a Democratic loss and a Trump win. . . .

I've seen him on C-Span for years, but had never heard him speak of his 'keys to the White House' methodology.

They're cush multi-millionaires who have made their living basically getting middle class Neoliberal white folks pacified into feeling a self-satisfied superiority over their RW counterparts. They've occasionally walked up to the line but have never been about biting the hand that feeds, as real radical Left comedians in the past such as George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor or even Mark Twain had.

What they've succeeded in doing, more than anything else, is supplanting any notion of real civic engagement, participation in a movement and real subversion of the status quo (how ridiculous was that "rally" in Washington?) for coy mockery.

Lee Camp and Jimmy Dore are the only comics out today who have shown the fortitude and temerity to take on the entire system.

We need to begin clearly identifying our true allies. And in this election cycle so many have been bitten by the dogs of Fear that the ones who haven't deserve our great respect and fealty. Took a lot of balls for Camp and Dore to stand tall and immovable, righteous and fearless. Colbert & Stewart have proven to be just two more Clinton Neoliberals.

I am somewhat surprised by the map to be honest.

There are many states that I expected to go to Trump, but I didn't expect it to be that close in PA.

WI and MI, I thought had a strong chance of going Trump, but they are closer than I thought, whereas others that I thought would be close are actually much tighter than I suspected even if they did ultimately go to Trump or look to be going to Clinton that I thought would go to Trump (such as Nevada, and, while still early, possibly MN.) may end up going to Clinton.

But at the end of the day (For FSM's sake I hate that fucking phrase) people, we called it.

We wrote calmly, with facts and logic behind us and got called "dreamers".

We argued math, saying that their numbers were wrong, that they were based on inaccurate data and outdated models and got called subscribers to misogyny, idealists, people that wanted Unicorns and Ponies, or RWNJ trolls.

All we did was point out, "Look, you got two choices, one has a considerably better chance of defeating Trump than the other by every test."

We got mocked and shat upon.

So when they try to call you Naderites (They will) or worse, I am gonna what some would call a misogynistic thing here, but screw it. Grow a pair of balls.

Tell them that they are the ones that wouldn't listen to logic or reasoned argument.

Tell them that we told them time and time again that there is no way in hell you can shit upon a significant portion of your "Party" and then expect them to come back to the fold time and time again like some kind of frigging battered spouse.

Like or hate the left, the Democratic party has taken advantage of it's majority left leaning voters, as was shown time and time again in the last 6 election cycles.

Yet, even when they won a majority they lost, because they could have one a REAL majority if they would have embraced the policies that EVERY study or survey shows that over 70% of Americans support and said, "Screw the stuff we disagree with for now, lets work on the shit that we do."

If they REALLY wanted to insure that a Trump victory would never occur they wouldn't have fixed the Primary election against the best candidate to do so in favor of the one with the vagina (or whatever screwed up reason a so called "progressive" could come up with for supporting the likes of the Clinton's)

They own this.

Not us,

Be it a Trump victory or a narrow Clinton win with no mandate and endless investigations, the Clinton's, the DNC and their enablers own the next four years.

End of 10 Negra Modelo and countless "green power" fueled rant

(I am not gonna bother proof reading this because I doubt it would make a difference, so if it looks terrible I will blush and apologize in the morning. Smile )

crappy candidate and a crappy way to campaign. You should have been able to hold the ridiculous orange combover to less than 10%. If you had, the third party vote wouldn't have mattered."

At long last it looks like we can send Bill & Hill off to the Big House, but where's Jill?
So much for the Green party. I really thought this might be their year, but nope.
If it helps any I voted for the Green candidate running against Chucky Schumer, just to toss them a bone. The Greens got a long way to go.

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
