Time for the other Horse race now - the ones our US friends are having âTodayâ (Itâs midnight in New York). Itâll be mostly tomorrow for us, though.
Curiously, the betting odds appear to favour the previous President having a return. I donât 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, theyâll be found in the USA.
Nah, the republicans have been ratfucking polls for months, so donât trust that shit.
Itâs really gonna boil down to âdo you really wanna shit on a woman of colour so fucking bad youâd destroy your own countryâ. and yeah this is america soâŚ
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 aftermathâŚ
It is worrying⌠and the polarisation of politics in the US is something we need to actively take steps to avoid happening here.
It frightens me. đ˘

Itâs unreal that people are boarding up windows in anticipation for violence to break out.
Iâd really hate to be living in the US under those conditions. They really take politics to another level.
Also pray we donât get nut jobs here trying to replicate the actions of those Overseas.

Kind of sad that Sri Lanka, known hotbed of violence and terrorism and which 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 lessâŚ
âŚbut here we are reading of people boarding windows up in the US for a presidential election. How things have changed
