With significantly less people voting by mail this year, I think the results will come significantly faster, though maybe not tonightWe can hope, but the outcome in 2020 wasn't certain until the following Saturday.

If he wins, then it's possible that Trump rigged the election so that he always wins.Well since the MAGAts are already claiming the election is being stolen... I guess if Trumpo wins then we can say they were right, he certainly cheated.
Listen, I think people should vote with who they think best stands by their beliefs. Whether it’s flat out not voting, write in, a third party, or either of the major candidates. I think conviction > political theater or virtue signaling, etc. I think three of the options are a wasted vote, and the political climate is only going to be more divisive and races are going to be closer and closer and increasingly important every cycle, but I think people should go with their gut. I personally wouldn’t vote for Kamala, if I wasn’t in a purple state, but I’m playing lesser evilism here because the alternative is truly something I do not want. I am a bit more concerned with my local and state elections, though, fwiw.i dont really care if people online take me seriously or not. im honest and truthful in my statements and if people dont like them oh well. thats me. im not putting up a facade or being peer pressured to not be who i am. if that means people dont take me seriously so be it.
Dictation and fascism aren't the same thing. So clearly Dump Trump is the one that comes with fascism attached.care to clarify which one comes with facism and which one doesnt? they both are forced by dictation.
It would be a hell of a lot worse place to live in. Trump would:Is the world doomed if Trump wins?
In the short term, probably just Palestinians and Ukrainians. In the long term, yes. SCOTUS is willing to toss out any/all of the constitution at Trump's behest, and he's openly admitted that his dream is to become a dictator like Xi Jinping or Putin. The EU wouldn't last long if the US started helping China and Russia to undermine it, either.Is the world doomed if Trump wins?
The mere mention of being a dictator on Day 1 should make people tremble, because when has a dictator willingly given up or reduced their power of dictatorship?In the short term, probably just Palestinians and Ukrainians.

Most of the time, it led to coup d'états that either made the dictator stand down and forcibly give up power, exile, or outright killed.The mere mention of being a dictator on Day 1 should make people tremble, because when has a dictator willingly given up or reduced their power of dictatorship?
I meanI used to think the citizens in Star Wars cheering for someone as obviously and cartoonishly evil as Palpatine taking over, giving him the benefit of the doubt over the Jedi maybe possibly being a bit corrupt, was something that could only happen in the fantastical, juvenile universe of Star Wars. That the only way they could rationalize it was through the presence of an all-consuming magical force that seeps into and manipulates everyone's minds. Now, I'm not so sure.
Yes, but there's a huge gap between leaders from 100 years ago in second and third world countries, versus 2024 in the US. We should be better than that, goddamnit.I mean
If you look at history you will see similar things
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Franco, Mussolini etc
The original Star Wars trilogy was also an allegory for the Vietnam war, and Palpatine represents Nixon.I mean
