If they fuck it up again, then it's because they didn't learn anything from the first go around and they absolutely NEED to learn. If Donald the Rapist becomes POTUS again, he'll fuck things up so badly that maybe all the sleepy dipshits who didn't give a crap actually start to give a crap.

As an American, I am deeply troubled too.

On behalf of myself and my girlfriend, we've voted, and we're hoping enough of our fellow sane Americans do so to hand a catastrophic defeat to the toxic Nazi wannabes.
We hope. But if not, how do you feel about accepting American refugees? Between my Middle-Eastern last name, and her being African American, we're not exactly on the "most popular" list of the Orange Shitstain and his cohorts.

Well, we did fuck it up. I’ll just curl up in a corner now.

Ultimately this election will probably end up in the courts for months. Then probably end up on the house floor, 1 state 1 vote...fuck.
EroticZombiePants
I'm sure some of the cases will make it to SCOTUS instead. That's ... fuck.

I have WAY too much anxiety about this for someone living in the loft apartment.

Us Canadians are just as troubled as you too if not more so because this US dumpster fire is in our own back yard.
MrNobodyLivesHere
The total number of voters needed could theoretically be around 22% to 23% of the national popular vote to determine the presidency.
Democracy at its finest.
anjeleyezjr
I did what I could. Blue all around on my ballot. Let's hope enough people did the same.

… hey, listen … we may have just fucked this up…
mannycheeks420
We fucked it up. What have we become?!
DrSchlepenstein
Win or lose, tomorrow is going to suck. Either the US is fucked cause orange Hitler won and his cult riots in celebration or he loses and his cult still riots, it will just be more violent.
WrongUn
If orange cunt wins it isn't just the US that's fucked. That shit will be global. Except Russia, they'll be poppin the champagne
EroticZombiePants
Given Biden wasn't declared winner in 2020 until like Saturday, we're likely going to be in a holding period for awhile.
MadamPuddifoot
Yeah I was reading an article earlier and they're saying it'll be Friday before the last of the swing state votes trickle in. I'm fully in disassociation mode.

Nah.. Trump won we’re fucked on this one

notdointhisatworknow
Remember when Bush won his 2nd term, someone set up "sorryeverybody.com". I wonder if they'll relaunch it if tiny-hands Trump wins.

Too early to call but I’m very disappointed in a large portion of my country right now

It’s official, the USA is completely fucked

Everyone is saying they’re seeing more women and young people voting and the lines are long. This bodes well for remaining a democratic republic and not a fascists state.
TheFastpaws
I voted blue and encouraged others. Did what I could.
PoopSammich
Vote when you can, and then VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION. Every.election.matters, it basically just takes 1 term to fuck us into facism. From the dog catcher to the president never vote republican

Fear not, we are royally fucking this up as I type. We are not ok!

The way the process works, it's not just about raw numbers. You can have fewer votes than your opponent and still win.

With the exception of 2004, it's the only way the GOP has won the Presidency this century.
ArchonIlladrya
Which is fucking stupid. We need to get rid of the electoral college.
Bigcurly2000
Yep. When the vote is purely to decide the next president, there is literally NO logical reason for the electoral college.
jammer909
It was valid when it was initially started, because we had much less population especially out in the sticks, and rural folk needed an even chance to vote the way people in cities do. But yeah, now it's pretty useless and in fact a detriment. What's really messed up is that now some Southern States passed laws that their governors get to decide where their electoral votes go, despite what popular vote in the state says. In those specific states, your vote quite literally does not matter.
Badprenup
No it wasn't "valid" back then either. It was a compromise to get slave states on board because they had lower population of free citizens and wanted to turn the table in their favor. Same with the 3/5 compromise.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Even back then, sorry they live in low pop density, but I still don't think their vote should count more than mine. Land shouldn't get a vote, just people.
jammer909
I very much agree.
gobblinal
Tell me again why there even IS a vote for the President if it's the House that determines the winning party?
Calicious
Huh? The house, senate, and executive branch can all have different winning parties. The house only chooses the president during a contingent election, during which the senate would choose the VP.
Did you mean to say the electoral college? That would make a lot more sense.
taez555
Don't worry, as an American voter, we'll make sure you can reuse this meme in 2028, 2032 and beyond!!
Lethous
Only thing I feel really confident in, Trump will be 0-3 on popular vote tonight.
SpammersAreScum
If we fuck it this time, there may not BE a next time. Trump promised it.
EroticZombiePants
Well until there's no longer elections anyway.
taez555
There will always be elections. Just like Russia or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
EroticZombiePants
Starting in 2026.
taez555
The amount of GOP candidates getting 100% of the vote is going to be crazy to see.

Roughly 50/50 that this is the last election, but I'm hopeful we'll be voting again in 28.
