I have no idea what a Helen is. Is it like another sort of Karen?

 

For some reason, rather than just downvote people, he feels the need to then post that he’s downvoted you and for some reason calls it a ‘Helen’. I have no idea why.

Does this mean that based on the count from day 1 that Trump leads?

We already know that most of the Biden votes will come from postal votes so this is going to be a slow burn election. 

Twitter analysis from yesterday, one day before voting. Praying the bots have screwed our algorithm for the first time in five attempts at predicting, cause it’s not been wrong before

Put things into perspective, Trump and Biden are older now than the Presidents who were elected in 1992 and 2000 🤯

What witchcraft is this?! I wouldn’t trust this not to break my phone or keep me awake all night, but for those interested:

yeah...although I guess more democrats may have voted early...

[Chapple12345]

Relatable.

[steviewevie]

My gut is currently telling me that Trump will pull off a shock win.

Yeah and? He has stated he would only serve one term, which sets up Kamala to keep it going.

Why would we want to meet in the middle? Don't want any of that centrist or righty muck bringing down good progressive ideals

Because most good progressive ideals don’t benefit some people

[Ryan1984]

I have the same sinking feeling as when we got the exit polls over here  last year...

People like who? No ideals are going to be perfect for everybody, but at least progressive ideals benefit the majority, even if they don't quite realise it yet. Those it doesn't help i.e. greedy capitalist bastards, don't really matter anyway

But they have power and influence. Meeting in the middle is about the art of the possible.

Going to bed. My final prediction...we won't know result tomorrow...Trump will be declared winner in a few days time.
