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
The monkey’s paw is beginning to curl on this wish.
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.
The majority of the talk will be over by the time the election is called. At least, the majority of it on here.
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!
I’d like to be calm but since I live in a country neighbouring Ukraine … yeah, I’m scared
Trust me, I’m from u.s. and I hate it
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.

Can your obsessive worry change the outcome in any meaningful way? No? Then your obsessive worry is damaging both to you and to those you inflict it upon. This is doubly so when you inflict it on an international audience who doesn’t even access to the horse and pony show Americans call an election.
For the downvoting cowards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Ue5Qy6w1w Go downvote that too.
