    Nah couldn't really give a shit. Their election system is shit, their whole system of governance is shit.

    If there's a voting method that can make FPTP look reasonable it's Yankland's!

    Don't disagree with any of that. Their two year almost perptual cycle of campaigning is especially corrosive to a functioning democracy and actually getting shit done, however ................. you can't deny that it's fucking entertaining as fuck. So many lols this cycle due to Trump.

    The outcome is already decided.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Americans are voting for a bunch of individuals in each state tonight who will then vote to decide the outcome. Traditionally they follow the will of the public but they are under no legal obligation to do so.

    Dear God no. For one thing I'm still a bit jet-lagged, and secondly I'd rather just wake up and then kill myself if Trump's won

    Yes I'm aware of the electoral college and the concept of "faithless electors"

    But to all intents and purposes its first past the post. Apart from Maine and Nebraska where one of their congressional districts is up for grabs by the other guy even if the state is awarded to one of them.

    It would be interesting how things would go if the electors were proportionally awarded rather than winner takes all.

    I've watched every US Election since Bush vs Gore in 2000

    But that was all monther, not all nighter. 16 years on no one is any the wiser as to who won that one.

    Florida has always held itself to the same high electoral standards of countries like Zimbabwe or Egypt.
