Matt, Matt, Matt. Shit son, I'm VERY disappointed in you. How could you leave out "existential threat"? As if Camus was on the ballot.

I'll pass on the drinking game -- I'm not interested in dying tonight, Matt!

Sure is a shame that our presstitute media never mentions that Democrats literally boosted MAGA candidates during the primaries because they would be 'easy to beat' in the general election.

“I do want to win these races, but it makes me worried,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) told Politico in July. “I just really worry about promoting election deniers and this idea that we’re going to be able to control what voters want at the end of the day.”

This is the perfect encapsulation of American politics: support something with your actions while decrying it with your words.

If Team D does badly, we will hear "something, something Muh Democracy Is In Peril".

If Team D does well tonight, we will hear "The Boots Of Freedom Are On The March!"

No, I am not a Team R supporter, either.

I've got Maddow blaming Musk for Walker in the first 30 minutes OR Professor Plum in the lounge with the candlestick

This just an inhumane set of rules. DUI’s, self-stabbing by samurai sword, stumbling off of curbs causing grievous bodily harm, public urination, loss of eyesight caused by people gouging their eyes out with dull sporks, etc incidents are going to go ballistic over the next 12 hours. And it will all be Matt’s - Russia’s - and the evil diabolical Trump’s fault!

If I followed these rules, I'd be in the hospital for alcohol poisoning ...

Thank you, Matt for all your efforts !! GOP RINOs are equally hopeless as Democrats – a uniparty serving ONLY its arms industry donors.

When I voted this morning, I didn’t even see Democracy on the ballot. Am I being disenfranchised?

Also, with respect to last week’s story about Big Brother mailers on voting records, yesterday I got a text message addressed to my 18 year old son noting that he didn’t appear to be registered to vote. Can these busybody scolds please jump off a cliff?

Alas, I'll be at work so I'll miss the fun. But it's all good anyway, I wouldn't last 5 minutes watching MSNBC. I'll be watching Politico for results. The commentary wasn't ridiculous last election I watched on there, but it was hard to keep up with as the software was so wonky.

Pelosi seems to have accepted finally that she's going to get slaughtered, and says the attack on Paul changed here plans. Oh, so that's what it was about then, she has an easy out.

Hope you'll give us a piece tomorrow or soon so we can hash it all out.

Conspiracy memes being teed up in Maricopa County already. Something like 20% of machines not working. If somebody brought this to me as a script, I'd say "get outta here with that!. The person responsible for Arizona elections CAN'T be the Democratic candidate, too!"

How can this be distinguished from open taunting of the proles and deplorables? Never underestimate the incompetence, but seriously? This insults the intelligence of 90% of the bell curve.

OK, so I left the country and moved to Mexico. I didn’t do it specifically to flee the US. Consider it a side benefit for a decision I had already made.

So I can’t watch the returns from Oaxaca, but I want to participate in spirit. How about if I kill a bottle of Mezcal and call it good?

If I’m watching MSNBC tonight I gotta hit the liquor store again...

There’s nothing more enjoyable than watching overwrought TV personalities watch their dreams crumble in front of them live on election night. Doesn’t matter what channel, it’s always the best.
