Is this what every election is like? - eviltoast

I’m only 20 years old, I’ve never voted or even really bothered paying attention to any other election, and I dunno it kinda feels like I started on one that was really crazy? But I’m not sure maybe every election has been insane and I just didn’t know because I wasn’t paying attention.

    Not even a little bit.

    And you’re probably not gonna get a point of comparison, because it’s looking likely to be one party rule by the absolute shittiest american embarrassments forever at this point. At least until America does some stupid shit globally and gets themselves invaded by a united band of good guys down the road.

      Would take China and/or India in that case. Europe and Canada don’t have the population, Mexico probably doesn’t the will.

        Yup, we do not. We have enough problems at home created or perpetuated by Americans like gun violence, organized crime and now gentrification on top of everything else. Good luck.

          There are no good guys. That said no I don’t want to be under the Chinese surveillance state especially as a non-chinese. India also not great at the moment though. Those are just the two main countries with the population and domestic production capacity to potentially go toe to toe with the American military, probably still need some help from Europe…our military is so damn bloated.
