Hard to feel bad for those in the US, you guys are voting for this, but I feel horrible for Ukraine and other countries impacted by the Orange Hitler's global policy.

Time will tell, fingers crossed for blue.

BAN THE WORD DOOMER ITS UPSETTING ME WHILE I CRY ABOUT TRUMP WINNING!

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

If he actually wins, the country had better revolt. If someone who has committed hundreds of crimes and has literally tried to overthrow the government wins an election to rule the country, it's proof that the government is so far into corruption that it's no longer possible to fix things from within the system.

An insurrection is okay if the left does it.

Men are a problem

Or is it that this kind of rhetoric pushes them away from you psychos 

[benji]

If your pragmatism leads you to voting for a candidate promising to continue colonialism and genocide, then you have given up any moral high ground that you stand against these things as a hard-line principle. It also means that if genocide is something to renege on when it's convenient, then I absolutely cannot trust you for less pressing matters like police abolition and prison reform. You will throw me under the bus the moment it's convenient.

Ultimately what you're telling me is that you absolutely will vote for these things to continue if it means you can trade off for domestic policy you support like healthcare. That's an understandable utilitarian approach, but it's not actually one that refuses colonialism and genocide wholesale. Doesn't actually matter what you say you believe. Intent isn't action.

I also don't really respect notions from people who claim that revolution is a dream to be peddled and not an ultimate goal to work towards through various means of organization. You can continue cleaning the master's house. I'm trying to actually break the chains and achieve abolition.

I mean, you can vote and also do activism. Well, not you specifically but I mean like other people could.

[Nintex]

So sad...the nyt needle is at 77% for trump. Omg

[benji]

I love all the people who can't tell Nepenthe is just setting up an elaborate excuse for why she shouldn't have to do anything but everyone else should have to "compromise" by agreeing with her completely. They think she's acting in good faith and so there's some way to convince her of a more successful path of achieving her goals when her only goal is to browbeat people under her rule over the forum.

I can't believe she admitted she doesn't believe there's a trans genocide, Black genocide or indigenous genocide. Just to continue this stupid position.

Please think a little more about the situation before you say something like this. The US is not a monolith. You're saying that you find it hard to feel bad for immigrants and trans people that are going to be directly targeted by people who want them dead. You're saying you find it hard to feel bad for the women who are continuing to lose the rights to their own bodies and are dying because of it. To be clear, I trust that isn't what you MEAN to say. But it IS what you are saying. Have a little empathy.

All I'll say is that no one else here is actually any less worried. People are bothered by perceived dooming because they feel they're already worried and sick and reading hundreds of posts declaring everything is over is only making it worse for them. As you say, it's an emotional night. The same emotions leading folks to doom are the ones making people lash out at it.

I don't really get that impression from the type of posts I was responding to but whatever. My point remains that being mean and picking fights with people feeling depressed and stressed about the way things are going right now is worse than any potential "dooming", especially when 90% of the "dooming" I have seen in here has been some variation of "this doesn't look good, I'm scared".

If only Nep and others didn't rally others to not vote.

Welp. It's over then.

WHY THE FUCK DID HARRIS SPEND THE LAST MONTH CAMPAIGNING WITH LIZ CHENEY

Oh shut the fuck up

[benji]

Oh, and:

It also means that if genocide is something to renege on when it's convenient, then I absolutely cannot trust you for less pressing matters like police abolition and prison reform. You will throw me under the bus the moment it's convenient.

Bitch, you called the cops on an obscure internet forum making fun of you. If anything, Kamala voters can't trust you about police abolition.

I don't think this guy understands how elections work.

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Louisiana_gubernatorial_election

Humorous unofficial bumper stickers were created in support of Edwards over Duke, despite Edwards' negative reputation. One bumper sticker read "Vote for the Lizard, not the Wizard", while another read "Vote For The Crook: It's Important.

Ann? Ann? Where you are Ann?

[benji]

Nintex, you really don't need to spam election news in this thread.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

I've liked the Zeboyd games I've played, so I can ignore one idiot who works there. If it's the entire team then they're a bunch of idiots.

TO THE ELECTION THREAD 

WE NEED TO POPULATE IT

[AnnoyedCanadian]

I just want the election to be over and done with. I know this one is going to possibly take awhile to find out who wins like in 2020. From what I recall from paying attention to elections as I became more politically aware, 2008, 2012 and 2016 were all called either before midnight or just after midnight.

After this election I'm done with politics aside from watching the inauguration, maybe.

[benji]

aside from watching the inauguration, maybe.

Americans don't even watch that shit.

[Boredfrom]

If the rustbelt doesn't come home for Kamala... I just can't do this anymore. Can't live in a world that is this hateful, ignorant and hopeless.

Really starting to lose the will to keep going.

Man, SHUT THE FUCK UP. Like really, shut the fuck up with this shit.
