Tomorrow is the last day to vote. I imagine all the talk won't be over until noon January 20th with the transfer of power to the new administration.
So what I'm trying to say is only a couple more months.
Then it's time to start focusing on midterm elections.
The majority of the talk will be over by the time the election is called. At least, the majority of it on here.
I think you are underestimating the chaos trump's horde has planned. Unless it's an absolute blowout for Kamala (and likely even some then), the close of the polls on Tuesday is just act 1.
And then of course insurrection 2.0 election boogaloo
Hah! It's adorable that you think it will ever stop! The next set of congressional midterms is only two years away. They're already ramping up the rhetoric for those!
We have to start gearing up the 2028 Presidential Election.
You think you're going to have one?
Not anymore.
if trump wins, lets hope not, Jan 6 / jan 20 won't be as relevant, since dems are not into coups
Yes. Apparently, they can.
Bugger, But also, heil, leader Trump, I suppose.
I'd like to be calm but since I live in a country neighbouring Ukraine ... yeah, I'm scared
A couple of more months
Trust me, I’m from u.s. and I hate it
I'm sick of every single comment tho any political article being, "Doesn't matter. Go vote."
Like, no shit. Stop commenting the same damn comment on every article.
Not to be a downer, but the political ramifications matter significantly, and vice versa. This planet is way too small now, and I patiently monitor the politics of many countries to see how the world shifts in relation to peace and climate change.
This corresponds to everything, including games and distros if one country (not just the US) suddenly collapses.
I happily await the day politics calms down, the wars settle, and we focus primarily on climate change and science as our main passions once again.
So we should just talk about it ad naseum until we're even more miserable?
No thanks. I can't change the world beyond my vote so I'm just gonna live my life.

i honestly think this election is part of an ongoing cold war that has spread across the world and turned hot in Ukraine

Yay!
Only 1 more day til it’s just U.S. riot news
And election fraud claims! Oh, the excitement.

It drives me mad how the UK media obsesses over US Presidential elections because they're still pretending the "special relationship" exists, yet they pay hardly any attention to European elections that actually have more impact on the UK.
They'll literally cut away from UK news to bring a campaign speech from Trump or Harris. Why? We don't get a vote in it, so we don't need to hear it.
We gotta pretend we give a shit about your crowns and all that, so I don't want to hear it.

Well, talking about the EU might remind the rubes how shit things have gone since Brexit, so of course they don't want to bring that one up.
It's only fair, the US does the same shit with UK royalty.
Ironically, I was happy that this community was one of the few without posts about that election.
Haha i quit reddit not because of the api change and the stupid blackout/protest. But to get away from the propaganda.

As an American, I'm just as sick of it as you are. I voted by mail weeks ago, but because I'm in a swing state I'm bombarded by mail and text messages.
Anyway, I recently switched to the CachyOS kernel. I won't try Factorio though because I know I'll get horribly addicted.
I’ve been trying to limit my election posting to the explicitly politics communities. I think that by blocking all of them, the non US people can hopefully keep the election chatter down to at least a dull roar, although I realize a lot of it is also spilling out into everywhere.
You folks have my sympathy, in other words. Hopefully in a week or so, we won’t need yours.
One more day. Just one more day. Election day is tomorrow, and by the early hours of the morning after, it'll all be over.
No it won't. The bullshit will continue with all the election denialism, the rhetoric and violence. Not to mention an the Republican state governors that will fuck shit up.
It ain't over.

This is unfortuantely going to be dragged out for weeks while counts are finalized and certain candidates start claiming victory fraudulently. Just like the last election 🙄

It costs me nothing to scroll past. Let everyone think it makes a difference, in a few months, we'll settle back into our comfortable dystopia and we'll go back to arguing over other stuff.
I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man
I most certainly do not.
