How will you be spending the evening?

[Poiuyt]

Is anyone else too nervous to watch? I usually spend election night in front of the TV with a big bag of potato chips, but I keep getting flashbacks to 2016. I'm feeling good now, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much and then get a kick in the stomach.

[Askov_Finlyson]

1. Drinking Scotch and doomscrolling on DU and YouTube.

[democratsruletheday]

17. Same for me 'Askov'.....

sticking to DU and Daily Kos...can't stand TV anymore. Dramatic horse shit.

[woodsprite]

2. I intend to watch when I get home, but

Right now my only tether to news is DU. Heading to rehearsal.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Too nervous to watch, history of heart problems already took Ativan

And thought about eating some marijuana cookies

[IzzaNuDay]

16. now that is an idea! the cookies!

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. Was reading about red states refusing federal monitors and cancel

Military votes and all the other traitorous actions and I started getting back pains and chest pains so I took an Ativan and it helped and I drank some water.

I don’t like taking Ativan because it makes me draggy or groggy. But that’s better than having a heart attack.

When Republicans on the Supreme Court in Georgia tell military overseas that they are not valued and that their votes will be ripped apart, I get angry

[democratsruletheday]

24. Ativan is my anti anxiety med too....

haven't taken one YET. Night is young tho! Careful with the edibles too, will make things MUCH better or MUCH worse depending obviously on tonight's results

[Ocelot II]

4. I'll be at a scheduled choir rehearsal

and will spend the evening thinking about music (though I'll probably sneak peeks at my phone). I don't expect a result by the time it's over. But I have PTSD from 2016.

[mucifer]

5. I will watch all night unless there is bad news.

[bushalert]

6. Beer pizza beer

[Lonestarblue]

7. Going to a watch party to share the anxiety! Pizza to sustain us.

[Docreed2003]

8. Currently drinking Dos Equis and eating at our local Mexican restaurant

[LisaM]

9. In panic mode.

John King is pissing me off, but if I put on MSNBC, there is Nicollee Wallace. I tried C-Span and there was Condi Rice.

[IzzaNuDay]

10. It definitely won't be watching the news!

have a rehearsal and have an audiobook for the drive. will stop by the coffee shop afterwards and warm up for the ride home. maybe indulge in dessert!

ugh. the rehearsal was canceled. guess I’ll do the audiobook at home.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. Replacing the aluminum foil on my roof

There are MAGAts all around me and I don't want a stray shot from our Jewish Space Lasers igniting my house.

[pamdb]

12. tonight

With wine and sleep gummies.

[get the red out]

13. Loving on my dogs

I need fur-therapy.

[Think. Again.]

14. Anxiously awaiting Catbyte's latest animal feel-good video.

(I need them.)

[CanonRay]

15. We're having a watch party at our UU church

100% Dems

[mahina]

18. First, cleaning then I'm walking the dog then I'm going swimming in the ocean

Then I’m going to make mashed potatoes to share and visit with a pal and my family. Checking DU between and during each step.

Breathing!

[tonkatoy8888]

19. Cooking and Drinking

I'm making Governor Walz"s Turkey Trot Tater Tot Hotdish for good luck. I'm optimistic. Going to eat and drink and rub my wife's neck while we watch VP Harris kick Trump's orange ass from NY to CA.

[Dem4life1234]

20. 2016 fucked me up

2000 started it, but really 2016 was so messed up.

[Volaris]

21. Chinese takeout and a bottle of Scotch. DU, Bulwark, Keith if he comes on,

and somebody with more system video than me can keep tabs on Alex Jones lol...if he starts screaming in an hour, Ill know Kamala has it in the bag ha!

[Easterncedar]

23. I have reached near equilibrium

A smidge of gummy, a little cold Riesling sipped slowly, and a half dozen raw oysters on ice. I am thinking with gratitude of my mother, who died in 2019 at 93, and who taught me that oysters can always help save a tough day. I wish she were here!

[Takket]

26. i'm not watching, for now.......

they are going to announce 43 states tonight and the 7 battlegrounds won't be decided, so i'm not going to torture myself staying up late watching if nothing is going to be decided. i have to get up for work at 6am lol

[Volaris]

33. I took the day off so i could sleep in/sleep it off

[tinrobot]

27. Wife is dragging me to a watch party

I prefer to be alone when nervous/anxious, but there will be taco trucks, so I'll focus on that.

[senegal1]

28. Blue Bash

with my fellow local democratic peeps.

[samnsara]

29. i cant watch either..its like when i saw The Exorcist at the drive in.. I watched it

..thru a pin hole in a napkin.

i went to bed in 2019 thinking trump was winning then i woke up at 3am and HAD to check the news and that right when Fox called Arizona.

We cant survive another trump admin.

[EnergizedLib]

30. Working

But also nervous as all get out.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. I may watch something else

[Silver Gaia]

32. Cooking and eating Papa Murphy's pizzas, scrolling DU,

MAYBE turning on MSNBC with sound muted. Trying to stay calm. It will be what it will be. Me turning myself into a basket case won't help a damn thing with the election results, but could put me in ER. So, my choice is clear. Stay connected but calm.

[markodochartaigh]

34. I'm watching Brian Tyler Cohen's

excellent live stream of the election on YouTube. I'm too nervous not to watch. A whole lot of counties in red states are coming in 2-4% points better for Kamala than they did for Joe. Looks like turn out is up.

[Bird Lady]

35. ignoring it all.

[Fullduplexxx]

36. Throwing up

[Danmel]

37. My boss is up for re-election

I will be at a watch party for Suffolk County Democrats

[Callalily]

38. Drinking wine and making

Tim Walz's Turkey Trot Tater-Tot Hotdish recipe!

[Rocknation]

39. I've got some computer graphic work to do, and an online radio station to listen to

Nothing will be settled until late tonight at the earliest, so I'd rather actually rather accomplish something than glue myself to the returns.

In the event that they are able to declare a winner tonight, I've got champagne chilling, and some burbon -- which I will hopefully be drinking them in that order.

40. Midnight Shift

On duty until 6 am, Mountain Time Zone. Working out, push ups, squats & lunges while monitoring ops. Hey, I helped the Dodgers win the World Series, too!

[Talitha]

41. Having a Perry Mason marathon tonight.

All 9 seasons.

[Tarc]

42. MSNBC, pizza, and margaritas

alcohol's greatest gift; it is for both celebrations and misery. So I'm covered either way.
