Try to keep all US election-posting here.
guess my mom is going to have to find a deep dark cabinet to stick her "I love drinking when Trump isn't president" wineglass in
Can someone explain to me why Libs, specifically libs who root for the blue team seem to have more hatred for people who did not vote or vote 3rd party than the Republican team who is supposed to be their opponent?
In all honesty i think it's probably similar to how we hate libs, libs as typical with their kind, think that the practical choice is to vote for kamala so that their boogeyman do not win. The weak left who care about things like a genocide or are done with the two party system are hypocrites to them, because they cannot look past the democrat astro turfing and beyond their own farts. Well, i for one just want to watch that wretch the country implode but i pray for the safety of my comrades with either of them winning
I mean I can get that they see it as a vote for trump ect ect. what gets me is that they are often MORE mad about a none vote or a 3rd party vote than a vote for the republicans, and I just do not get it. Like if your fear is the other guy winning I would just assume you would hate anyone who does not vote for your person equaly
Cuba may offer refugee camps for LGBTQ people in the event of possible purge by Republican BS.
This guy is on cable news talking about US election

His nameplate says "religious guru". All they are talking about muslims and khalistanis. Give me cultural revolution ASAP.
There is a state in India called Punjab which is a major center for the Sikh demographic. There is a Sikh separatist movement that calls for a state for Sikhs which they call Khalistan. The adherents of this movements are Khalistanis.
Now I don't know how legitimate this "threat" of Khalistanis is because the news is useless here. They have some history of organising and violence. For example, Indira Gandhi (former prime minister) was assassinated by her bodyguards who belonged to this movement.
These days though they are more often than not just used as the enemy to fearmonger. They still have a presence but not like before. If you have read about Trudeau talking about Indian state-sanctioned assassinations in Canada, that was related to this but I am not sure how closely.
For example, Indira Gandhi (former prime minister) was assassinated by her bodyguards who belonged to this movement.
Being assassinated by your own bodyguards is quite ironic.
IIRC this was following the massacre she unleashed on their most sacred temple. The Gandhi Family is Bourgeoisie scum like every other indian politico family. personally looted and kept the country down for so long.
Do you think the dems might learn that there stratagy does not work if they loose
if Dems win: wow our strategy of catering to the "moderates" and conservatives estranged by Trump worked!
if Dems lose: wow we didn't cater to the "moderates" or conservatives estranged by Trump hard enough. Gotta go harder next time.
Honestly, I don't think they care. As long as they can keep people occupied with the theater of which genocidal maniac will be in office.
But if they did care...no they will assume that they were too far left and run even faster to the right.
One of my teachers had a pop quiz today. On Election day. Fucking dickhead, how silly of me to actually go vote for once.
Surprise! Google search traffic is spiking in the U.S. for the question “Did Joe Biden drop out?”
funny or sad i cant decide
Claudia was on my ballot which was pretty cool. I've never actually voted until now and this is probably a one time thing but I do like being able to vote for someone I actually like and agree with.
I also wants to see libs mald over people voting 3rd party
If the election of a single person can spell the end of your “democracy,” how democratic really was it in the first place?
Considering one of the major candidates didn't even go through anything resembling a primary process, I am going with "not very".
Am I right, do I win?
The funny thing is they could’ve ran a lightning election, but the Democratic Party is terrified about, “what if voters don’t choose the anointed candidate?!”
What are you saying you can run an election in less than 4 months?
Similar train of thought, the other day I was posing a question to someone who can be pretty lib, like, if the republicans are such a terrible fascist threat, why aren't the powers in charge doing more to suppress them? Instead of just letting them do what they want electorally and being like "we'll vote them out." I think I actually got through to them a bit on that specific point. Like existential threat to "democracy", supposedly, but we're gonna let em do a popularity contest and get power that "takes away democracy", what sense does that make.
