Here is a timeline of how 2020 was called. #GoodNews

Whiskey drank. Cookies delicious.

This is what Georgia looked like in 2020 before midnight.

Also, if you want to support democracy, this group is great.

Nom, nom, nom…. Cookie.

Rather they take longer to count.

WI, MI, AZ and PA likely won’t have any solid results for hours. That’s because the more populated areas (blue) have yet to be counted.

Going to take a break, will come back to this thread after a well deserved whiskey and chocolate chip cookie break.

You should take a break too.

From a source in Michigan:

With 477,000 votes counted in Oakland County, which is about 62% of votes cast in 2020, Harris has 54.25%. Her margin over Trump is 10.58%, compared to 14% for Biden and 8% for Clinton.

I ain’t fucking done. #GoodNews.

I have family members there. They did their fucking job.

Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are all (by a narrow margin) leaning Harris right now.

Ron DeSantis ousted a Democrat prosecutor in an obvious political move. She’s back. God help us we don’t deserve badass black women. #GoodNews

Me York also further protected marginalized groups.

Democracy is ugly. You win some and you lose some. We need to push for more wins where we can. Presidency is important but there is so much else going on.

Blue governor. #GoodNews

This woman did this thing and she’s a fucking hero.

Here’s more (previously mentioned) good shit.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it is still early in the process. Take breaks. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Every year the map goes big red before it swings back blue (when it does).

There good signs already. The first trans member of congress was elected. There are wins and f you want to find them.

I’ll have you know I did my whole workout without looking at my phone once for news of the election.

It was grating.

Expand mail in voting and early voting.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Polls closing at 7:00pm is a fucking travesty. I was raised in a single parent home. Having to take care of childcare and work makes it very difficult to find the time. Much more than that a lot of people have to work multiple jobs. Neither of those are conducive to standing in a (by design) 3 hour voting line.
