I am not going to be sober if it turns out we have to deal with Trump (or notorious couch-fucker JD Vance) for another 4 years
You guys probably feel pretty powerless watching the US elections from other countries. If it helps, those of us who live here feel pretty powerless too. Even those who live in swing states, from what I hear.
Still voted, though.
Imagine how Florida voters probably feel. Majority vote to create a constitutional amendment for abortion to be a guaranteed right.
The minority wins.
Majority vote for the legalization of Marijuana for recreational use
The minority wins.
That has to be demoralizing, to have the majority of voters want something and both be shot down
Floridian here.
I downed 18 beers last night.
Edit: what’s even more hilarious is the super majority to pass amendments was because of an amendment. Said amendment passed with 52 percent.
Never felt so fucking helpless.
Sure do. War is comming, because the American people crave for the blood gargling screeches of the innocent and their families and the dead expressions of even more of Trump’s rape victims. Only a matter of time before I’ll see my extended family run away to greener pastures or stubbornly die here and then I too can ask my self the question, join the war effort so I can feel like I did something or runaway and do my best to at least provide for my wife and the child she wants…
Like seriously? A Trump landslide? For once, I sincerely can say without a single ounce of hope or regret, fuck America, from the bottom of my heart. China is now the top superpower, good job assholes! Truly a race to the bottom…
No wonder you feel powerless, what with first-past-the-post voting and… well, everything else 😅
We’ve definitely got our problems here in Yurop too (like literal fucking neofascists being super popular), but at least we get proportional representation – I get to vote for democratic socialists so that it actually means something
