I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.

But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.

I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man

Not to be a downer, but the political ramifications matter significantly, and vice versa. This planet is way too small now, and I patiently monitor the politics of many countries to see how the world shifts in relation to peace and climate change.

This corresponds to everything, including games and distros if one country (not just the US) suddenly collapses.

I happily await the day politics calms down, the wars settle, and we focus primarily on climate change and science as our main passions once again.

So we should just talk about it ad naseum until we're even more miserable?

No thanks. I can't change the world beyond my vote so I'm just gonna live my life.
