I’m gonna grasp at that being positive. My favourite band at a ripe old age, Sylvan Esso, are from NC.

Honestly surprised that 16% of Irish voters would go trump but 84% Harris is pretty solid.

Did you get your sausage?

I think you hold the record so far!

Edit: also fair play to you for sticking it out.

They cheat to win however they can.

From the outside looking it it does appear that way but it seems so…un-American. I’ve spent a decent bit of time over there over the course of my life (north of 6 months total, mostly up and down both coasts) and I’m genuinely very fond of the US and its people and that has given me this internal sense of what “un-American” is if that isn’t a ludicrous statement.

The whole “rig things to your advantage” thing is really mask off at this point and I’m surprised that it’s tolerated.

Huh, we’ve been to the polls a lot recently, haven’t we?

It does feel that way. Not sure if it’s foreign elections getting more coverage than they did before maybe shifting the balance in my head.

poll workers actually came out and designated someone as the last voter

I did wonder about this. That’s cool to know and seems like a fair way to run it if you’re in the line before the station closes. Thanks for the insight.

Awesome about Rosario Dawson too!

That’s an interesting one. I live in a small town (~10K). It’s a fairly middle-class suburb of Dublin and the only place I’ve ever voted (but many times). Makes me curious if it’s different in other neighbourhoods.

GOOD GOD!!!

A king won’t though. That’s why they’re gone. Another dodge.

If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.

Hope it went well!

Yeah it’s definitely a really good one. Not sure how much it’ll hold up to a rewatch though.

I watched it last night. A hell of a ride! Thanks again.

Sold! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for the clarification.

That’s for the presidential election. The constitutional changes vote is secure.

It was a referendum to make constitutional changes that would allow EU accession.

Yeah, given what polls were saying this is shockingly close (65% yes iirc). Russian money down the toilet though so that’s something.

BBC saying it’ll swing further “yes” from votes yet to be counted thankfully:

Moldovan media said many of the votes yet to be counted had been cast abroad and would likely lean towards Yes, as the Moldovan diaspora is broadly in favour of closer ties with the EU.

There are about two people on here who wouldn’t say “fuck Henry Kissinger”.

What a massive load of shite. The fucking smell of boot polish off your breath is disgusting.

Jog on.
