    It’s, actually, extremely boring. There are two candidates, everyone knows their approximate stance, there’s almost nobody who would be possibly thinking twice about one over the other (on both sides), you sure as hell won’t find those on lemmy. It’s a business that’s been settled month ago.

    Oh, and then there’s this side character to the story, with a funny name, and there hasn’t been anything new about him either, but people keep bringing him up and calling him names.

    Whatever, bro, it’s like watching big bang theory every night. Gets hella old real quick.

      1. Violence (Assassination attempt on a candidate)

      2. Natural Disasters

      3. Legal Chicanery (A candidate needs to win to stay out of prison)

      4. International Consequences (Ukraine could be fucked)

      These are very much not boring to watch

        Yeah, occasionally stuff happens that’s fun.

        But:

        1. Assassination attempt was a show
        2. Climate change has been on it’s exponential path for a while, we all knew that
        3. That’s actually fun. Although also sad. And also, how the f is your justice system still on it 4 years later? No, it’s ok, apparently in the middle of EU, in some fukin Austria this sh1t also flies, so no worries.
        4. Yes, but there are like 2 outcomes, nothing changes about them, and it’s all essentially about 5 weirdly shaped districts in 3 swingers states. Imagine you actually had like 10 parties with different coalition options and 2-3% moves would imply different new geopolitical configurations every time.
