    Dementia addled old man rants about canceling the election from his memory care facility. See that’s how easy that is? In other news South Korea put execution on the table for their Trump.

    44%. That’s the share of voters who said they would back a Democratic candidate in the midterms, according to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted Jan. 9-12, versus 40% who would back the Republican candidate. The poll is in line with other recent surveys on which party is favored in November, with an average of polls by RealClear Polling finding Democrats have a 4.3% advantage over Republicans as of Thursday.

    Jesus tapdancing christ. 44% to 40%. Just… wow.

    My compete and total lack of faith in the mental competence of the American electorate is certainly coming to a middle.

    I fucking hate it here.

      It seems like every fucking election is like this…

      The “I hate everyone and everything, I’m going to abduct your neighbors, how dare you suggest billionaires get taxed anything at all” party

      vs

      The “I guess healthcare should probably be affordable and gay people exist and deserve dignity” party

      40% and 40%…

      The remaining 20% are outside eating rocks or something…

        I feel like I would be more hopeful about the long term welfare of the world and humanity if I had actually witnessed the Bell Riots when they were supposed to happen last year

        ok this blows but hey at least we’ll figure out FTL in a few decades
