I float through physical thoughts. I stare down the abyss of organic dreams.

I think the democrats handled this hilariously badly, and I have almost zero insight into American politics aside from what gets regurgitated over internet news sources.

If a primary was held, whi the hell would the candidates even be?

It’s unfair of me to assume, but I do assume that the average American voter knows even less about American politics than I do.

Harris was at least known. Walz even lost his own state, for fuck’s sake.

You’re a tool.

Skipping the primary, there was not enough time to mount a full, proper campaign.

How’d you think it’d go if weeks more were spent on a primary?

Face it, you took the fashy bait and fucked yourself.

Ah, genocide at home, in Gaza AND possibly in Ukraine instead.

Genius!

I think this perspective might be a part of the puzzle as to why this happened.

A lot of people seem to think Trump voters don’t know or understand what their vote goes towards, but I think that they not only do, but want that.

That, and almost half of voting eligible just didn’t show up, for many different reasons.

Although, I’m just some random Swedish dude, so what the hell do I know…

Except the same thing happened/is happening here.

And everywhere else…

Yeah, it definitely seems like change is in order, regardless of what one thinks of the result.

Yeah, it’s not really a secret that things are bad (or at least not good) everywhere, but at least most other countries’ voting doesn’t really directly affect the whole world, in contrast to the American elections.

Well, it averages out with the bigots on top, apparently. Sadly.

Did you ever consider that the American public might just be a bunch of spiteful, narcissistic, racist, misogynistic people?

Not “corrupted” by propaganda or a lack of education, but that you, collectively, made this choice - because you understand the consequences and what’s at stake, and you still made this choice?

Nice. I might actually check this out.

Played it on Sega Mega Drive back in the day. There was also a dope game called Skitchin’ that was like Road Rash almost, but on roller blades…

Loved Carmageddon, Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby, FlatOut etc as well.

Is this Road Rash with more bells and whistles?
