@@Insightfill Even though I hate long lines, the fact that it _was_ long means that people are pumped to vote and if people are pumped to vote then that means Harris has a solid chance at winning!

​@@SnoutCedarYou're a random person on the internet I know nothing about. And yes, that makes it very likely that you'd be a better president than Trump. But doing anything besides voting for either candidate is effectively the same as not voting in your first past the post winner takes all presidential election system. And if you aren't doing your little part to stop a wannabe fascist autocrat from gaining power, then you lost the right to complain about the result. I know, there's a chance you were just joking, but given the state of things that's less than obvious sadly.
