    No matter who wins this election, it has completely and utterly destroyed any trace of trust and respect I still had left for the American electorate.
    The fact that the polls are close with those two candidates shows that the country is already fucked for several decades to come.

      It’s outstanding it lasted this long, or even existed.

      People act like Nixon just didn’t exist for some reason.

        I don’t think America’s electorate on the whole is any worse or better than any other country’s, we just have an incredibly anti-democratic election system and a lot of tax code and finance law bullshit that’s allowed people to get wealthy through grifting and genocide and monopolies then pass that money down to their shitty children who have nothing better to spend their time and efforts on than making sure things stay broken
