This thread is for the Presidential election, my plan is to start marking wins as soon as they are called, sorted by time zone.
Some states are going to take longer than others. Polls generally close at 8 PM local time, but they can't start counting early/mail in votes until after the polls close.
Wisconsin in particular has an interesting system where ballots are collected by MUNICIPALITY, not precinct, they have over 1,800 ballot counting locations and don't report until ALL 1,800 are in.

There's a lot of blame to go around.
-Americans who tolerate and accept Trump's behavior.
-Biden for not calling it sooner and letting a proper candidate emerge. Harris was the best at the last minute but there should have been actual primaries.
-Harris for not swinging for the fences and playing it safe.
arming a genocide and going in on anti-crime and -migrant rhetoric is "playing it safe" jfc
Yep! You new to American politics?
No, I am very acutely aware of how we got here. Clearly their strategy did not work or they would have won tonight. It's a trick and you fell for it, hard. Of course you wouldn't want to admit that.
Anyone out there that is gung ho about the border and arming Israel was always going to vote Republican. Ceding the narrative on those only reinforced the Republican base, and not offering anything material depressed the Democrat base. The whole time they've been pandering to imaginary voters and you'll first gaslight yourself into believing those voters exist and your country is a horrible place of garbage people before you'll admit that your side could have done things differently to appeal to more voters.
You're taking out your frustration with your misunderstanding of what "playing it safe" means on me.
No. You're rationalizing an objectively bad campaign. "Playing it safe" would have been running a good campaign with popular policies and listening to voters' demands, running on improving the average American's material conditions and communicating what good they've done to that end thus far. Not picking up reactionary right-wing policies and trying to come out on top by completely ceding the issues to the side that invented them, hoping that cynicism alone will somehow get everyone to turn out to vote. The Republicans are not going to be beat at their own game.
