I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.
But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.
I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man
Tomorrow is the last day to vote. I imagine all the talk won’t be over until noon January 20th with the transfer of power to the new administration.
So what I’m trying to say is only a couple more months.
Then it’s time to start focusing on midterm elections.
And then of course insurrection 2.0 election boogaloo
Hah! It’s adorable that you think it will ever stop! The next set of congressional midterms is only two years away. They’re already ramping up the rhetoric for those!
We have to start gearing up the 2028 Presidential Election.
You think you’re going to have one?
Not anymore.
Yes. Apparently, they can.
Bugger, But also, heil, leader Trump, I suppose.
The monkey’s paw is beginning to curl on this wish.
Trust me, I’m from u.s. and I hate it
i honestly think this election is part of an ongoing cold war that has spread across the world and turned hot in Ukraine
we are all part of it and can participate
booo not casual
It takes two to make a conversation so to make it casual both parties must converse casually. If you are the only comment opposing this conversation’s casual nature then it’s not the person casually initiating conversation that is at fault but your response that is making the conversation *heated.
non-casual/uncasual/anti-casual/casual-lessidk what the word for opposit of casual would be lol.“heated”
Fuck that’s perfect. The parent comment’s edit is a shoutout to you lol.
haha, thanks
Cheers to a casual as fuck conversation 🍻
Edit: fuck itd be so cool if there was a way to only allow voting to reference how casual you thought a comment thread was and keeping a ranking of the chillest of the chillest casual conversations lol if not voting then maybe a button similar to reddit’s gold used to be where you awarded the casual-est conversations and have the ranking based on the amount of casuawards you were given🤔
Not to be a downer, but the political ramifications matter significantly, and vice versa. This planet is way too small now, and I patiently monitor the politics of many countries to see how the world shifts in relation to peace and climate change.
This corresponds to everything, including games and distros if one country (not just the US) suddenly collapses.
I happily await the day politics calms down, the wars settle, and we focus primarily on climate change and science as our main passions once again.
So we should just talk about it ad naseum until we’re even more miserable?
No thanks. I can’t change the world beyond my vote so I’m just gonna live my life.
It drives me mad how the UK media obsesses over US Presidential elections because they’re still pretending the “special relationship” exists, yet they pay hardly any attention to European elections that actually have more impact on the UK.
They’ll literally cut away from UK news to bring a campaign speech from Trump or Harris. Why? We don’t get a vote in it, so we don’t need to hear it.
