    I took Tuesday and Wednesday off.

    Aside from voting, I have some other things to do on Tuesday.

    Wednesday is reserved for just sitting and staring. Perhaps some rocking back and forth and curling up in the fetal position. I’ll see how it goes.

      Whatever America is up to can wait because I gotta get my hero to max level and get all the achievements.

        I plan to spend most of Tuesday stabbing myself in the eyes with red-hot knitting needles because it sounds like a better alternative to watching the polls come in.

          Damn your right, I never mentioned which direction.

          But let’s be honest, republicans don’t have the numbers for a landslide.

            A couple of salient portions from the 538 article I linked:

            In 2020, polls overestimated Biden’s margin over Trump by about 4 percentage points in competitive states. As of Oct. 30 at 11:30 a.m. Eastern, the margin between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump in 538’s polling averages is smaller than 4 points in seven states: the familiar septet of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That means that, if the polling error from 2020 repeats itself, Trump would win all seven swing states and 312 Electoral College votes.

            As of Oct. 30 at 11:30 a.m. Eastern, our forecast gives Trump a 52-in-100 chance to win the White House and Harris a near-identical 48-in-100 chance. The model arrives at that probability by calculating how many Electoral College votes each candidate would win given certain amounts of polling error in their favor, and then counting up how many times each candidate wins among these simulations. (More about that in our methodology.)

    Back in 2016 I worked at a place that had beer in the fridge for after work shindigs. The day after Trump was elected we were all in the kitchen drinking beer at 10AM instead of coffee. No one questioned it.
