With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.
If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.
If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.
Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

Notes -
Ddhq estimates a 92% chance that the house will be republican, securing a Republican trifecta.

To the extent that this election is a referendum on Biden's term broadly speaking, the strength of the reaction is almost beyond belief.
Biden simply has to go down as one of the worst Presidents in history. Who could defend his record?
All things considered, I think he did okay on inflation given the hand he was dealt. I think inflation is a big reason why Kamala lost, but I don't think people realize how much worse not implementing those inflationary COVID policies would be.
None of the stimulus enacted post-2020 was necessary. It was all just waste. The economy was white hot at that point.
Any stimulus at that point should have been small and given only to people who were demonstrably harmed by Covid such as restaurant workers. That's 2021. But when we add the Orwellianly named "Inflation Reduction Act" into the mix we get economic misconduct.
