I will now cut back on all social media. Lemmy included as I get a depression from what's happening in the US. What is painfully obvious is that we Europeans must stop fucking around and federate so that we have a fucking chance wedged in between despots and idiots.

America is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. The world is fucked. The only glimmer of hope is Trump drops dead before his term is out.

The issue is that the heritage foundation has put JD vanced to take over for Trump when he dies

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This is so. fucked. up. I'm not American (and thank fuck for that), but I'm actually feeling so ill and worried for y'all. I think it's time for me to block/unfollow any American accounts and news cause shit's about to get really fucking bleak.

I went on holiday to the USA this summer. We had time, money, had never been and feared/expected the USA to elect Trump again. Looks like I made the right call. Stay strong USA.

Very accurate meme. This is me seeing that the votes between the two candidates are somehow close. This is me seeing how one of the two is even allowed to run at all.

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think it's insane how Democrats keep getting blamed for not picking the right people to run when Trump can seemingly say or do anything at all and not lose a percent of support.

One of the USA sides has to be perfect and the other can do nothing and it will still be close. Insanity.

Literally a magic 8 ball in a pile of bullshit making decisions would be better than trump.

America wasn't built on just immigrants, it was built upon a certain type of immigrants: opportunists who placed greed above everything else. It shows.

I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

I kept trying to tell people that polls and surveys is just astrology for math nerds

Apparently those Mussolini style of speeches and the other 50 or so political suicides did not really matter as much as you would think. No matter the outcome this being this close I think spells the end of the USA as a rational power.

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

America really really hates women.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

And wierdly is made mostly of women, who must hate woman.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 0 points 1 hour ago

those Mussolini style of speeches

Like Kamala at the DNC saying that the US needs to have the MOST LETHAL army in the world, and the crowd bursting into chants of "USA, USA, USA"?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Not really. Voter engagement always swings more right than left, the fact the numbers aren't that far off means it's likely more than 50%.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Unfortunately, just shy of 50%

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Im more impressed than terrified. Choosing a guy who cheated on his wife instead of decrimanalised marijuana AND better healthcare. How???

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Cause muh price of eggs is too much

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Could have done something about price gouging for the last 4 years but they didn't

Don't blame the voters blame the people in power

The national identity of being Canadian over the last while has been every four years wondering if the downstairs neighbors are going to decide to restart up the meth lab they keep tinkering with and bracing for the sounds of domestic violence to resume.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Hey maybe when their meth lab explodes we'll also have a swift death :(

Not saying our shit doesn't stink but there's a certain matter of scale to consider. Leastaways we don't have nukes we can hand over to the psychopath we are looking at voting in.
