What a stupid fucking electoral system. Least actually-democratic system in the western world by far.

omg, it really is gonna be 269 to 269, isn't it ๐Ÿ˜‚

this is going to be so fucking funny, except for the risk of violence

do we think the libs will Rise Up if the tiebreaker goes to Trump, or will the MIC prevent his winning a tiebreak, or will they just work with him again because he was tolerable before, or what

They WILL join Dumbledore's Army

They WILL watch shows with the correct lib politics

They WILL write articles

And they WILL #RESIST

I used to be very confident in this too, but every now and then, I look at /r/Ohio, and there have been a few threads of libs saying they've gotten guns and been training with them since Jan 6 because they're worried about "what the trumpers will do when he loses again"

and probably most of them are full of shit, but idk how confident I am that all of them are

and been training with them since Jan 6

Oh now this I've just got to see.

I want that 269:269 so bad.

[โ€“] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

do we think the libs will Rise Up

Lol no definitely not. Despite all the fear mongering by the fascists in the republican media sphere, the democrats are not leftists, they love the system as much as the republicans do (who also claim to hate the system).

Unfortunately not, because that one district in Nebraska would have to go red for that to work and it's been moving into solid blue territory for a while. Harris might win by exactly one electoral vote though, which would be less funny "ha ha" and more "acceleration into the cool zone"
