Hey Lemmy, where are you watching the results?

why would I watch

2

I have vague plans to goon for 16 hours

18

Same thing we do every night pinky.

15
- Try to goonover the world
  
  5

It's currently 11.30 in the morning here, so I'll be sleeping, or at least attempting to.

1

Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I'll check our national broadcaster's website, if not I'll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something

8

I get my news from Youtube/Lemmy, other than that it will be on every tv station here in Germany.

1
Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.

5

Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

33

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

15

Here's hoping you're still a human being tomorrow night. Cheers.

12

I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy

24

yea, I'm on this train.

From the safety of my bunker.

Some More News livestream after ingesting 10 mg of cannabis

29

That's Warmbo's show, right?

4
- Yep! They're doing a live stream starting at 5:00pm PT (8:00 Eastern)

There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.

9

Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/

6

Already watching... Dixville Notch voted an hour ago. 3-3 tie.

5

From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol

8

I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot

15

The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...

7

Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y'all serving alcohol... might be very lucrative.

7
- I get off early, so I'm going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.
  
  5

Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.

11

Do your work, there's going to be a lot of back-and-forth and probably at least one legal challenge to work through before we have a final result so you won't be missing anything

3

I'll know the result once i wake up from sleep.

-lemming from the other side of the earth

4

I'd be surprised if it was decided by then.

3
- Sleep of another day then
  
  2

I'm probably going to avoid it tomorrow. Hoping to catch the result Weds maybe.

5

CBC/BBC/Al Jazeera, checking the Economist for my minute by minute bellweather county level fun.

4

The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.

8

I'll be making sure my thermal scope has fresh batteries and my fastest car has gas to GTFO of my state if need be. Thankfully I live in a city that rednecks think is some kind of blue Baghdad so I'm likely fairly safe.

2

FiveThirtyEight, specifically:

6

Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.

4

probably watch it on PBS Detroit and will be checking out the Daily Show live episode whenever it comes out on youtube.

2

I'm not watching. What's the point of being manipulated and made to feel like we care about who wins? What previous president made things better instead of worse?

It's like peasants cheering for either a turd or an asshole, both of which have much more in common with eachother than us. Great choices.

They are professional politicians with loads of money and influence, and an entire pr staff to write stories about them and make them appear a certain way to the public.

After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

5

No, I think I'm with you with NBC. Knowing full well it's a cliffhanger ending, I'm not sure I'll be able to look away anyway.

1

Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening

returns?

3

Two possible scenarios:

OP’s autocorrect wrote “returns” when they meant for the post to say “results”, in reference to the U.S. election

OP knows that the rapture is happening tomorrow when the pious souls will return to Heaven
15
- Even if the rapture happens tomorrow, nothing changes.
  
  "God" - "I started the rapture, why aren't there more people up here?"
  
  St peter- "there weren't any believers that were qualified"
  
  2
- There's a difference between poll returns and election results. Returns are "as they happen" and get updated. Results are final.
  
  4
- I like the second scenario best tbh, even if it entails me burning in hell for the rest of eternity.
  
  4
Oops. Thanks

It's kind of an obsolete vernacular

4
- Resulta?
  
  4
- You're not wrong though. Poll returns are what you get gradually until all votes are reported. Results are the final results of the election.
