It used to be funny to point out how fucking stupid Americans are
It ceased to be funny quite a lot time ago...
-
The problem is that everything has become a national spectacle even city-level elections, because both parties are grasping to make absolutely ANYTHING a distraction while they fuck us over constantly.
NYC things don't affect ANYONE ELSE. Maybe the surrounding counties, but that's it. Yet here we are with the President of the United States trying to steer the election in one city, and the nationwide media is gobbling it up like they haven't had dinner in decades because they make money from the advertising, and angry comments it creates across social media every time they say anything.

NYC thinks absolutely do affect other people.
-
We're idiots with nukes. 🙄
-
We’re the equivalent of a chimp with a shotgun. Does it know what it’s doing? Absolutely not, but it’s still fucking terrifying and people are going to die.
-
The rest of the world has sympathy for many of you, but the overwhelming feeling is that we just want 'Murica to go away
We're tired of all the stupidity

I get it:
Everyone wants to vote for Mamdani.
And, frankly, I don't blame them.
-
They should get their own Mamdani.
-
These are Kentuckians calling a Republican to complain. They are probably not trying to vote for Mamdani. Would be interesting to know, though.

Dont let this turn into reddit where every post that is clearly a joke requires an /s after it
-
I know that sarcasm isn't very clear on the internet, but they were, at least to me, very clearly joking

So jealous of NYC. Well not the cost to live there, but getting an open progressive soc-dem is pretty dope.

It's honestly insane how many people thought it was midterms...
Like, I get time moves fast, but if they thought it was midterms they should have looked into candidates by now.
-
To be fair, it’s certainly felt like longer than only one year since the last election.
-
Over 36 Mooches!

-
if they thought it was midterms they should have looked into candidates by now
They did, the media told them who the candidates were, the ads told them who to vote for, and the big name politicians at the federal level told them who they endorsed. Duh. The media wouldn't tell them about things that don't affect them at all. /s

I’m curious how much press prop 50 got outside of California. With all the phone calls/texts, mailers, TV ads, people plastering freeway overpasses with signs about it, folks waving signs on street corners, it did feel like midterms.
I’m glad it’s done. I hope it passes. 90 minutes till they start counting votes…
-
By far the two largest races for my local election were nyc mayor and prop 50: all the press, all the publicity, all the talk …. And my ballot held city councillors and school board candidates who were mostly unopposed.
It’s actually unexpected: my town has had some contentious issues lately on school funding, higher density housing , bike lanes, pedestrianizing a section of our “main” street, and a war between a strong mayor and ineffective city council …. I expected to attract more candidates, more voters
-
I know you know this by now, but it passed by a good margin.

To be fair, Trump has caused so much chaos in less than a year that it feels like he's been in office for years
-
He's so awful that it feels like he's been in office since 2017. The memory of the Biden respite is all but eradicated.

Ah Kentucky...
Where men are men and sheep are nervous.

Lmaooooo
Swear to god, the entire country is like The Onion personified

George Conway, a former Republican lawyer, responded: “There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy.”
Glass houses, sir.
-
He has turned anti-maga, even though he was a Republican lawyer. He isn’t exactly throwing stones in a glass house, he’s at least partially sane.
-
Yeah this is the guy that his wife was Trump's old spokes lady and he used to constantly bag on her and everything that was said and he was very anti-trump. I don't remember him actually ever being maga.

National politics has gotten convoluted if you hallucinate an election. What exactly did people think was on this non-existent ballot? If it was all about New York City then that is really sad.
-
There are thousands of jurisdictions in the U.S., with plenty of elections going on, beyond the big ones in the news. My city always has something to vote on each year so I’m not surprised about some people thinking they are missing out on something. I’m actually surprised there aren’t any elections going on in Kentucky, do they have all city/town/county elections sync’d up with state/national races?
-
Non-Federal elections do not have a set date, like the Federal election does. Many localities have important elections on the same ballot and the same day -- not just to encourage turnout, but to save money. But some plan their elections on different dates throughout the year.
For instance, where I live we have to vote on the local school budget and school board, and they always have that election in May because the new board and budget needs to be in place for the school year starting in September.

Is this cancel culture?
