    Almost 50,000,000 early votes. For context, the totally number of votes cast in the 2022 midterms was around 110,000,000.

    Chances are very good the total vote count is going to smash that total on Tuesday.

      Sucks that the most effective way to get people to vote is to have a fuckton of innocent people brutalized and murdered while a cabal of raving lunatics tank our already pretty superficial international reputation.

        You’re not wrong.

        It occurred to me this week that the world’s gotten so shitty that people aren’t making up stupid reasons to pretend they’re oppressed anymore. (like manspreading.)

          people aren’t making up stupid reasons to pretend they’re oppressed anymore.

          What are you even talking about? That’s the entire GOP platform!

            “Trans women are just men trying to sexually assault women in bathrooms. To combat this we are stationing men at every bathroom entrance to perform thorough genital inspections on the people entering them.”

          Bro I always hated how people complained about manspreading when women put 30 gallon purses on the seat next to them. Like don’t throw stones in glass houses.

            It was always absurd. Just a way for people with very good lives to make money off of people who can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag.

      Smash by a handful at best. 75% of the vote is to people over 50, historically they vote red. Total count might get a person’s hopes up but a very quick peek at the actual data should squash all those American dreams.

      Good luck 😂

      You could look at the info included in the post above. That’s really all this article is, the vote count.
