this shits a jam
The elections huh?
If you haven’t voted, get your ass to the polls!
So
dems taking the house
republicans keeping the senate
Fairly expected tbh
Maybe. It’s too early
People are just about to get off work
Our voting is fucked
so incredibly fucked
in Atlanta, Kemp - the guy who has historically been in charge of the polling and is now running for governor
Hmmm.
Has more or less understaffed polling places in major, liberal/democratic areas (which would oppose him)
We haven’t lost yet.
not to mention, his ID laws are just
Like, he literally couldn't fucking vote
because his ID already expired
No need to despair.
Well that’s his fault
Through his policies
I mean
I'm confident the democrats are gonna take the house
I just think our system's fucked
The house is a coin toss. So maybe
weighed heavily in favor of the republicans
Hell, the democrats need to win ~55% of the popular vote
to obtain the majority
Thanks to gerrymandering
So? The popular vote is gay
even then, just look at the senate or the electoral college... They're all reactionary institutions designed to suppress the working class
"What the people want is gay"
I mean, true, but I'm presuming you mean it in a derogatory way
in which case I disagree
Popular vote is retarded
What do you propose then?
The whole country would be ruled by coastal cities. No thanks
Well, what do you propose?
Sans popular vote
Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.
