      We can push the Dems left after that election. It’s important to vote blue no matter what in ‘26 because Glorb Shitto is pushing for horrible policy. ‘28 is president year, and we gotta Vote Blue and never question.

      Maybe in 2030 if the Republicans aren’t trying to take away rights… we might be able to slightly nudge the Dems left, but politely, and after informing them we we’ll still vote no matter what. agony

    You will not stop hearing about it after it ends because 1/6 of the country will believe the election was stolen regardless of the result.

    Unfortunately I have some bad news - the election will most likely go on for weeks after election day. In GOP controlled states - the GOP will lie and say there are “discrepancies”. No proof, data or facts will be provided but eventually at least one case will go to the supreme court. And - of course - Trump wins on that day but a façade of democracy and legal procedures plus paperwork is needed so there’ll be another couple weeks were the supreme court pretends to debate the issue.

    The “deadline” is January 6th. My hunch is that election ends mid-December.

    No, they’re gonna delay it a week before to keep the rest of the world on edge while our politicians just edge to it.

    My wife and I are going on an international vacation and will be in the air through election night and into the next day. It’s on a Boeing, so assuming we don’t crash it’s going to be our own little sanity preservation chamber. Hoping that we can make it through the whole two weeks without even hearing about the results.

    Eh, I’m kind of looking forward to it. We all know we won’t get to see anyone we like win, I made my peace with that years ago. But I will get to see a large group of Americans that I really despise lose. And they will not be able to handle it.

      Fuckin mood. I feel like one of those jackasses watching the first Manhattan Project tests from afar. There will come a day where I quote Oppenheimer regarding these times; but right now? I just wanna watch the geyser of liberal tears that are certain to occur like the first mushroom cloud to fruit skyward from afar with a pair of binoculars in one hand, and a blunt between the fingers of the other.

      Red or blue, doesn’t matter to me. I just know it’s gonna be some fuckery and I can’t wait to watch.

    Honestlyyyyy. I’m so tired of everything revolving around what’s happening in the shitlands, even in other countries we’re talking about it, pretending like it makes a difference whether it’s Kamala or Trump.

    Agreed. It will be tragic if the election continues for another week like last time in Georgia. Which means, because the lathe turns, it will actually end in an electoral tie and the election will be decided by months of debate in Congress.

    I’m sick and tired of it. The commercials are disgusting and annoying and I’m sick of hearing them when I just want to watch 80s Price Is Right
