Election shit 3
Current standings, Biden 248 electoral, Trump 214 electoral. If Biden wins Michigan (16) and Nevada (6), then he will get the 270 electoral votes required to be the next POTUS. He is currently "leading" in those states (i.e. he's ahead in total votes for those states, with more votes still to be counted). (EDIT) At least, via the Associated Press numbers (via Google), anyway. Other news entities that are following this may be counting differently or more slowly. (/EDIT)
Here's the thing though. No matter how this turns out, good (Biden wins) or bad (Trump wins), the fact that it is as close as it is, and not a complete fucking rout for Trump/blowout for Biden, it just goes to show that this country is still super-super-SUPER-fucked up. That this many people still voted for goddamn Dumbshit Jackass Trump in the year 2020 CE, despite every one of the myriad good and valid reasons that they shouldn't have done so, is just insufferable, because even if Trump loses, these motherfucking asshats are still going to be things that exist in this benighted country.
Here's another thing. Regardless of how the fucking Electoral shit goes, Biden is still currently ahead of Trump by almost 3,000,000 actual votes, which is around the same margin that Hillary Clinton beat Trump in 2016. The fact that it is even possible for the candidate with the fewer number of votes to still win the goddamn presidency is extremely fucked up. The Electoral College needs to go. As far as I am aware, no other race in the United States uses anything like an Electoral College, as they're all determined by, you know, who gets the most fucking votes.
And here's a third thing, if the Senate remains in Republican control, which seems likely, then Biden winning won't mean all that much, because Bitch McConnell will still fuck over everything Biden may want to try to do, because Bitch McConnell is Bitch McConnell, i.e. a... well, I was going to say "bitch," but that is an insult to actual female dogs. I can't say "piece of shit" either, because that's insulting to actual feces. I can't call him a "motherfucker," because that is degrading to actual people who have sex with their own mothers. I really can't think of a good enough insult to use against Bitch McConnell (aside from lamely rhyming his name with "Bitch") that isn't more insulting to the thing he's being compared to than it is to him. Maybe "Mitch McConnell" needs to become an insult, in and of itself, the same way "Santorum" did.
Seriously, I hate Bitch McConnell more than I hate even Trump, and if the Senate had flipped to D and McConnell had lost, even if Trump had won again and remained POTUS for four more years, I almost think I would have preferred that, honestly.
