This also reminds me of how screwed up our Electoral College system is.

Kamala would likely have this in the bag if we just used a normal "most votes wins" system. Very hard to see her losing the popular vote.

its such a mental system that you can legitimately have a president that the majority of people didnt vote for, if you saw that in a third world country you'd say it was a joke

It was designed that way ... the ''concept'' was to provide adequate representation for states that had large slave populations (who obviously couldn't vote)

once again it goes back to the constitution that they so slavishly cling to like the world hasnt moved on as jim jeffries the right to bear arms bit was put in so the population could rise against a corrupt government which was okay when the government had muskets, now the government has predator drones it doesnt work as well.
 
I’ve been convinced Trump will win for about two years and I’m not changing my mind now sadly.

It’s so tight and the polls always under estimate the right wing vote.

Hope I’m wrong and the “nauseously optimistic” Harris campaign’s numbers are right.
 
Anyone got any good suggestions for which network to go with to watch/listen/follow this later on?

Like the campaigning and baseball this goes on forever, then they argue about who won, then the house of something or other blocks stuff and then the campaigning for a new leader of the losing team starts.

Merica gers about 5 mins to do anything before the political pom poms start again and several rich cunts with rich backers go for the top spot and get to say God save America over and over again.

The choice this time?

An utter **** of orange or a gaping grinner.

Like our election we should hope the grinner wins but with the knowledge its just a smaller shit sandwich. Bit like our lot really.

Enjoy, yee haw.

And it's already happened multiple times, including in 2016.

None of the arguments that are in favor of keeping it have ever held water with me.

Choose wisely. That option is not wise. You have to cross that invisible bridge.

Well thats the thing tho isnt it, if you dont agree with either of the candidates opinions or politics and then you choose not to vote which is also a waste of the vote, it would be nice to be able to register your disgust with the whole thing.
