First round of voting I actually found a candidate I really liked, someone I would actually celebrate if they won but of course the rest of the country is not looking for the best candidate, they only care about electing the worst candidate for 'the other side'.

So here I am, waiting for the results knowing that if the candidate I picked wins I won't be happy, just relieved and if the other candidate wins, I need to fear for the future of our country.

I looked for an offmychest community but couldnt find it, I read the rules and I think politics is allowed here? Though really, Im not here to discuss politics, just lament the current state of affairs.

    Oops sorry. I get carried away with our political mess and don’t always follow the thread sufficiently

    I’ve never been especially political before but not only is my country in an unprecedented mess but there are like-minded people on Lemmy receptive to my outrage.

    Unfortunately we’ve been overshadowing other political messes in other places. All I can really offer is that maybe things will quiet down once my country gets past our collective mental breakdown
