Are you planning to watch Election news?

[neely]

Whether you live in the U.S. or not do you plan to watch the Presidential election news on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024? I honestly haven't decided what I will do but will probably check the news on and off. One thing I know is that I won't be glued to the tv.

I'll be monitoring it off and on all day. Mostly for any weird incidents that happen and also b/c my state has a lot of hot button issues on the ballot.

 

[denice]

No I have had more than enough a long time ago.

I'm going to be listening to the news on the radio Nov 5th. CBC radio 1 usually explains the most important aspects of the election without boring the listeners to death, LOL!

I don't even watch Australian election coverage! I haven't watched news programs for years. Too depressing.

I admit to being pretty interested in it all.. I'll be watching when I can.

 

[game misconduct]

not likely im fairly annoyed with both parties .

No; it will be the usual talking heads echoing the usual talking points, and life is too short to waste time on them.

I agree completely.

 

[mama africa]

I am very much interested and it's one of the headlines in the Belgian media. I will follow the news when I can.

 

[artiemom]

Yes, I will be watching the news that night. I will be glued to the TV.... I am really interested in it this year..
Will probably be texting with my snow bird friend, who is currently in Florida...
It will be a late night for me...

**** Just a reminder ****


This question is in the Cat Lounge. It is not in IMO. The question is if you will be watching election coverage, nothing more. If you want to give your opinion on the election or the candidates, take it to IMO.


Thanks.

I'll probably check 538 or something like that in the evening once results start coming in, but let's be real. I live with a 3 year old. I rarely get to decide what's on the tv.

 

[fionasmom]

Periodically. I agree that it is a very long process to get anywhere near nationwide results.

 

[vansX2]

I'll wait for the 6pm & 10pm news for results.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

No.

I'm still debating a complete social media break. I've had enough going on; I don't need to deal with people online and especially the random things from strangers that algorithms think I need to see.

 

[susanm9006]

It just stressed me too much. I will carefully avoid it until at least mid day on Wednesday.

 

[misty8723]

Unfortunately, I will have no choice. Husband will be glued to the TV and he's hard of hearing so he plays it loud. I can't even escape to another room to get away from it. What irritates me is all the yakking between projections. Oh if so and gets this state, and so and so gets that state it will be xx electoral votes. They just talk to hear themselves talk.

I was poking around on YouTube the other day and found a psychic/tarot reader that predicted which state would go which way. I wrote them down just for fun to see how well they predicted.

 

[Hellenww]

My partner is a news junkie. I've set up my yarn room with a new tv and comfy pillows so I can get away from it. I'll probably be pulling out the headphones today.

 

[Kris107]

I am going to try to not watch anything until later this evening, but I already know it'll be too hard to avoid.
