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.

Grew up/graduated from UCF a number of years ago. You can feel how much central Florida has changed over the years.
