I'm just freestyling here and I'm sure someone with a professional experience or academic background in psychology can tear it up for arsepaper, but I wonder if it's an innate fear?

Like the uncanny valley with autonomous human-style robots or how AI generated pictures of faces are sending primitive recognition patterns haywire, I wonder if covering up half of the visual cues to recognise someone as friend or foe provokes an in-built negative reaction?

I mean, it's not rational, but then chucklefucks who complain about it don't do rational even if it's in their interest.

Absolutely agree with you - I think perhaps Kamala was too safe a pair of hands and didn't generate enough excitement - but then I'm too old for watching fancy headline grabbers (though Ed Davey's approach to Lib Dem vote grabbing at the GE this year was highly entertaining) so to me, a boring but competent candidate is good for me.

I suppose I only brough up her gender and his sexuality because they both share an "outlier" characteristic that Republicans in general aren't too fond of.

Nice to hear from you fellow Brit!

auto-gay

Sounds like a really bad transformers opponent.

Speaking from across the pond, I think Pete would have been brilliant... but then that's hardly part of the job description any more is it? A breeze block with the ability to talk shit and grift would unfortunately be a far more electable candidate this year.

Plus, if electing a woman was too troublesome for people to handle, what would happen if they fielded one of the gays!!!?!??

It's a disgrace really. Either Pete or Kamala would have been a safe pair of hands.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not going to pretend to know how you feel or give you hollow "I understand" or "it's going to be okay" promises because I can't back them up, and yeah the next few months are going to be proper shit.

All I can tell you is that having known you for half a dozen paragraphs on a phone screen, I already care about you more than that bumbling punchable arse piece that is going to make life difficult for a couple of years, and I think it'd be super cool if you stayed around a while.

I can't promise you wonders, but I do hope you find your way.

I'm not sure where you're going with that comment but I'm going to interpret it in the least-charitable way possible and assume you're talking about suicide, and that ain't the path to take, friend. Reach out - that omnishambles of a cockwomble isn't worth it.

If you're talking about moving or leaving the country, then good luck with that too 👍

Always relevant...

Andrex is much cheaper, if admittedly a little less satisfying.

He looks like how Andy Murray sounds.

(Yes I know he's a Scotsman.)
