Time for the other Horse race now - the ones our US friends are having “Today” (It’s midnight in New York). It’ll be mostly tomorrow for us, though.
Curiously, the betting odds appear to favour the previous President having a return. I don’t know how much faith to put into that, but if any bunch of people are dumb enough to put that bloke back in charge of the country, they’ll be found in the USA.
Kind of sad that Sri Lanka, known hotbed of violence and terrorism and in which incensed citizens picturesquely invaded the presidential compound to take selfies, recently had a completely peaceful presidential election with a very different party taking over - one that had links to the violence of the 80s/early 90s no less…
…but here we are reading of people boarding windows up in the US for a presidential election. How things have changed
Nah, the republicans have been ratfucking polls for months, so don’t trust that shit.
It’s really gonna boil down to “do you really wanna shit on a woman of colour so fucking bad you’d destroy your own country”. and yeah this is america so…
The real threat of violence either way makes it very worrying. I have vague plans to visit my brother there next July but a lot hinges on how this election goes, and the aftermath…

It’s unreal that people are boarding up windows in anticipation for violence to break out.
I’d really hate to be living in the US under those conditions. They really take politics to another level.
Also pray we don’t get nut jobs here trying to replicate the actions of those Overseas.

It frightens me. 😢

It is worrying… and the polarisation of politics in the US is something we need to actively take steps to avoid happening here.
