this election is among the most important ones in the history of the country. if not the most. i am also looking forward to it just being fucking done with and having other things on the feed

Aside from being important for the US, it could easily impact relations with other countries.

I hope it turns out well for the people living in the country. We're going to find out soon..

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

either way there will be violence. the question is how long the violence goes on

I don't live there, so it's kind of none of my business... I just always hope people don't need to reach rock bottom to find out what's important and how to proceed...

One thing I've learned is that voting is a lot like breathing.

Every time you do it, it's the most important one of your life time.

I remember 2008. McCain vs Obama. I preferred Obama but honestly I wouldn't have minded too much if McCain won, it was just Sarah Palin that was crazy.

Contrast that with Jan 6th, 2021. The loser of the election incited a riot and attack on the US capitol and democracy. This individual is running again.

I remember 2008.

And that's the thing lol, all these fucking "nothing matters" teenagers do not. They only know a political climate where democracy is on the line.

[-] Doburoku@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

2020 was the most important. Before that it was 2012. Then 2008. 2004 no more war!

So yea. This is the one. The one election to vote them all for something.
