Who is this character? I see them everywhere here in China. For reference I am old and out of touch.

It's Hatsune Miku, the mascot character for the Vocaloid software of the same name. She's also a virtual pop star, kinda like Gorillaz.

She also endorsed the official hexbear app back when we had that and we didn't go full isolation mode.

This would be the most hilarious outcome possible that’s within the realm of reasonable. Dems finally achieve the decades-long pipe dream of turning Texas blue, but lose the rest of the Southwest and key rust belt states resulting in an electoral college win for Trump. Harris, of course, wins the popular vote by an even bigger margin than in 2000 or 2016.

No matter the result, I will have to stare into the eyes of all my neighbors with the knowledge that they voted for genocide and hold back my bile and venom for their cowardice and try to build a better world with these satanic compradors.

To be fair, it was supposed to be wild takes. An actually realistic version of 269-269 looks like this:

Harris wins, Trump get shot, as a show of unity and reconcilation she invites Vance as her VP. Next election he runs as a Democrat with Richard Spencer as VP.

A GOP bloom of sufficient quantity to cause discoloration (red) in a country is called a red tide. They can potentially cause irritation or death to exposed creatures.

The one district in Nebraska being the only place voting for Dems is funny

I'm not so cruel that I wouldn't give Kamala something.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I feel like only 1 (not faithless) electoral vote is almost more cruel

Country goes full fash (red flavor). Last holdout is the vanguard stronghold in the People's Republic of Chattanooga that votes entirely third party

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago

Republicans barely take it in a dubious 2000 Florida style situation while the Democrats go full ballistic on lawsuits against the Green party because they got like 3% of the vote in a different, irrelevant, state.

Stein wins New Hampshire for no reason, Trump wins the popular vote loses the electoral college, the supreme court declares the college unconstitutional and hands Trump the presidency

Claudia/Karina Sweep

edit: forgot that they don't have Alaska, so that obviously goes to Trump

Widespread violence erupts over alleged fraud and voter intimidation. guaido becomes interim president in exile while biden-troll topples Kamala and takes power back to reign as president for life.

Six months later he dies.

I also think the Lib Dems are going to do better than expected.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

OP, you might want to add to post body and say you can just click a state to change its color. I dunno but it certainly wasn't obvious to me. I wasted time looking around pointlessly for "new map" link/button.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Done, thanks!

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

mine is that it doesn't matter in the slightest

Just in case anyone is curious what would happen IRL in this scenario, the state delegations of the newly elected House would decide the President on January 6.

What's wrong with Montana and Idaho? Surrounded by perfectly rectangular states, but Montana has those weird squiggly lines to border Idaho. The rest of the state has 90 degree angles, except that border. What are they not telling us?

Joe Biden/Jimmy Carter Ticket will win and they will have their revenge against Trump, Kamala and Obamna. Dark James rises.

[–] 2812481591@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

are there any sites that allow you to make a 50 state parlay? Feel like becoming a ten-thousandaire this week.

Nixon will win

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

they get a dead tie, everything becomes chaos, VP becomes deciding vote on who wins, 2nd january 6th

[–] trumpetnoises@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

I can't believe that site is still around. I was reading it 16 years ago

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Kamala wins by a large margin, but then faithless electors flip to for Trump.
