The Bulwark: "Livestream ended. Replay is available now."

Me: I'm not sure what happened. I caught the tail end of the stream when it was live. Later, when I went back to replay it from the beginning to watch what I had missed, it played for a like bit, but then suddenly became unavailable. I refreshed it, and now it says that the video has been marked "private." So, it seems that replay is not available. At least not for me and/or not at this time.

Quick update: I guess the issue was temporary. It seems that I can watch the replay now. Not sure what happened earlier. If you did something to fix it, thank you.

Did you guys end early to catch planes out of the country?

The video became available once more, but stopped at rougly 4:14:00 when Tim was about to spit some hot sober fire. Now the link is back to 'private'.

Echoing others - video is marked as private

Really? There's so much more to discuss. All the other podcasters are still going.

guys, what the heck with leaving us hanging on a night like this?!?!?

Aw, that is disappointing, do we know PA, Mi and Wi yet?

Expand full comment

I guess since you all are sure we are going to lose, guess it doesn't matter?

Please take it easy. On yourself and on everyone here. They clarified that it's still possible Harris wins, but it's not likely.

I was not speaking to anyone here at all

I was addressing the Bulwark team

I am not very hwppy with just cutting the feed off and also with them pretty uch saying we lost, and instead of being sympathetic to what a loss this was, talking about their plans if he does win.,.,.coudl that not wait till we know for sure? And talk about it after it is over?

At any rate I am probably done with here and everywhere else I read and watch and post, it is going to get really ugly, and I am just not up to that, and not likley ew can fix it, we just tried and lost

Don't we all know this was Joe Biden's fault - just like Ruth Bader-Ginsberg. Turns out Democrats have just as much or more vanity and ego as Republicans.

The Democratic strategy of doing the minimum for the American people and as slow as possible outraged all Americans.

I think there is a lot of blame to go around

It’s over. It’s been pretty clear since 9:00 ish. Nothing has gone our way. Democrats underperformed everywhere.

I think you can wait until you are sure. No one is telling you what to think.

OK, what about now?

I just joined Bulwark yesterday, and I have to say this is the , slowest, buggiest, shittiest platform for communication / community. I paid money for this and none of my "LIKE"s have ever registered. I'm kind of surprised my comments even post.

The over-arching concern for me is that now everyone is charging to join these platforms and those of us who cannot or will not pay all these subscription fees to participate - and then when we do, it doesn't work and there are still these endless provocative trolls to deal with. ( hopefully not me )

My question for months now ( on different platforms to different people ) remains ... what can we actually do about this. The system is broken so that we cannot use the system for redress.

The Electoral College and all the state electoral shadiness and redistricting is the biggest rigging I could imagine, but we all say ... well, that's our system and we have to abide by it.

We don't have a choice not to abide by it, we are forced to abide by it ... but not the Republicans, not MAGA.

The pit in my stomach is the size of a tennisball. And I’m not even an American. I’m Norwegian.

I'm looking forward to the Bulwark team and site coming one. I am soooo sick. Republican trifecta. Vance probably ascending to POTUS by 2028.

What is WRONG with this country. We'll be kicked out of NATO and the five eyes group. Ukraine will be lost unless what's left of NATO steps up.

I am so glad I am old. I won't live to see results for more than a few years. I don't have children of my own. I weep for my nieces and friends who will have to live with this for decades.

Racism and misogyny are so alive and so well in the good old USA.

I hope Biden now gives Zelenskyy the go ahead to strike deep into Russia

We all did our best. I'm a mess and I'm really very scared for my granddaughters and my greatgrandchildern my God he has permission from the Supreme Court to do whatever he wants. I'm sorry everyone I just needed to let my feelings out to someone. I lost my husband to cancer in 96.the sadness I have tonight. I have not had since I lost him. I pretty much keep my feelings inside and don't know why I am this sad and scared I guess I just want to know we will ok Thank you for listening

Trump has outperformed. Wherever pollsters thought he was before Kamala took over, he did slightly better. Having Shapiro on the ticket apparently wouldn't have mattered since Trump won every other swing state, including Pennsylvania handily. As in 2020 when Biden was supposed to win by 8 and won by 4, this was supposed to be a jump ball and he appears to have won by 3 or 4. Just as he was before Biden dropped out. 70% wrong track number, 37% Biden approval. And of course the country at large could not give two sh*ts about Jan 6 or the threat of authoritarianism. A swing state rout for Trump. Pretty much a worst case scenario.

Definitely the worst case scenario.

"Let's be all together!" Tim's clutching his pearls. the old guy's doing his old guy schtick, always helpful, strokin' his beard (not) . . . Kristol.

Oh fuck it, you're Republicans!

LOL

Yeah, the basic problem of Harris's whole campaign was too damn many Republicans surrounding her. And that gun talk.

Of course Sam is right about continuing the good fight, but we can't understate that today is devastating. We don't need to be chipper.

Last time around Trump's administration did a lot that people were unhappy about, really angry and that was restrained. I think he may do a handful of ok things but there will be more that angers people and his policies will be unlikely to help the economic gap between the well off and the 99%.

Internationally there will be upheaval if he draws us into isolationism. Will we leave NATO and will our allies be abandoned. We currently have a pretty good national economy compared with other nations better than he did. He only got one direction to go, down. Things like give aways to farmers are not solutions. My guess is many voters may not but should have buyer's remorse.

Even worse - Trump is gonna nuke Iran. I would bet on it. He's been wanting to nuke SOMEBODY since 2017. We are so fucked.

Another shocker: Trump has apparently gotten more of the under-30 vote than Biden. What the hell is wrong with people?

The Joe Rogan bro idiots. The Elon bro idiots.

Taylor Swift didn't actually get her fans out to vote, did she.

And Liz Cheney, come on. There is no Liz Cheney fan club except at the Bulwark.

What's almost as bad as Trump himself is the really nasty people surrounding him.
