    This election has proven that the fearmongering for the Greens by the Democrats was unfounded. The Greens won 0,7% of the vote in Michigan and the Dems there lost by more than a percent

      Technically, it could also mean that people who didn’t want to vote for a major party abstained from the election altogether (e.g. why wait for an hour and a half if you think not voting at all would accomplish the same thing?)

    You know, I was trying to figure out how I feel about the results because like, I knew no matter which it would be, it wasn’t going to be a big difference to me (both genocidal imperialists, ya know). But like, I think what I figured out is I have some secondhand anxiety about it? Like I have some anxiety about how other people are going to react to it, because people have been hyped up to such a degree to believe it’s a world-ending scenario.

      While not a world ending scenario, it’s incredibly uncomfortable to have a president that knowingly hates my people for having the wrong skin color and would be perfectly okay with genociding us.

      “No one could have seen this coming!” say the people who chose to deny reality for the past two years, hoping that wishful thinking would materialise into real-world effects.

    I’m glad Kamala lost but upset that Claudia didn’t win.

    Instead it’s this orange guy who occasionally says something funny.

    But at least I get to drink liberal genocide apologist tears, everyone be sure to drink plenty of genocide apologist tears and scold them for supporting a genocidal party and candidate that moved right and try to teach them something for once.

    I really, really, really hope she wins every remaining state but Michigan and the Dems get to know for a fact that she probably lost over supporting a genocide but I think that may be overly optimistic as it looks like her path to victory is closed off in AZ and NV. I mean fuck with our luck she’ll somehow win Michigan anyways and the message Dems will take is genocide is okay but PUTIN personally (with the help of re-animated Stalin) stole the election with Russian brainwashing and troll farms.

    Ah well. This bodes badly for the US I think.

    Also be sure to be there for the mental health of those vulnerable friends of yours who maybe are a bit liberal and take this hard, good opportunity after comforting them to maybe lead them out of the blue-anon propaganda.

    If you have imposter syndrome remember that Dems raised hundreds of millions of dollars in donation only to lose to a neurodegenerated reality TV star
