Wild, they even got Doom to run on a political news cycles. It really does run on everything huh?
- Even runs at a pretty good framerate people-who-take-every-outlier-poll-as-gospel
- Fun fact, Doom was running back when Margaret Thatcher was in politics.
  
  I do not like this fact, can we commit Damnatio memoriae on Margaret Thatcher.
  
  🤔 can Thatcher's grave run Doom?
- I got it to run on the cube of butter in my kitchen once. Oh sure, it works, but the performance wasn't as smooth as the medium might suggest and the waffles were terrible.
Doesn't matter, go fucking vote. Vote like your life depends on it; depending on your demographic that could very well not be hyperbole. Vote like it's a terrifyingly close election, because despite all the polls and the analysts, this election is still going to come down to razor thin margins. It is VERY hard to compete with the sheer fanaticism of Trump's base; a large number of them literally think he's the Messiah or that Harris is the antichrist so they feel justified in all sorts of batshit actions.
Gosh, I really hope so. Too much is on the line.
- We can do more than just hope, we can help make it happen
  Find how to register to vote for where you are
  Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
  Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races
- Me too. At this point, I'll believe it when I see it.
  
  even then it’s gonna get ugly.
- I'm not hopeful that she'll break the doom loop.
  If a brown man created the doom loop, brown woman isn't going to stop it.
  I certainly welcome her being in office for 8 years, but I fear what the other side will cook up in the meantime.
  
  How did Obama, I'm assuming, create the doom loop?

- SCOTUS can't overrule an election outcome unless there is contention and proof. Won't happen. Her numbers are too good, and that's taking into account that polls only reach old people.

  They can do whatever the fuck a majority of them wants. That's why Mitch McConnell considered stacking the courts much more important to his legacy than electoral success.
  The way the broken system works, they have the final say on ANYTHING and can only be overruled by the by now impossible constitutional amendment process.
  No matter how nonsensical or blatantly corrupt their reasoning, their judgment is effectively final.
- "apologize for not listening" in your view, what difference does it make whether we listen or not, and why should we apologize? As you said, "won't make a difference" right?
